introducing expand expanse is an immersive near eye display with see-through capability that uses your smartphone to project panoramic IMAX like imagery add up to five times the resolution of VR viewers providing you a personal theater experience anytime and anywhere compatible with most modern smartphones simply slide your phone in to expand connect an optional controller or air mouse and immerse yourself and your favorite movies shows and apps in stunning resolution hi I'm will founder of expanse as a gamer I love the idea of 3d hands-on fully immersive virtual reality like the rift revived but there just isn't enough good content out for these devices and it'll take a while before there is so with that in mind I set to work designing a VR device that would transform the way we use non VR content like playing video games or binge watching your favorite movies or TV shows anyone who's watched a movie in a gear VR or rift knows how our most of it is to watch a video in a life-size virtual theater the current VR devices just don't have the resolution needed for movies and games why is that when the gear vr each IP is a separate roundish image which uses less than half of the screen where the standard rectangular aspect ratio for videos in most non vr content has to fit within gear VR square aspect ratio waiting another half of the pixel this is why gear VR content is pixelated and suffers from the so called screen door effect there just aren't enough pixels width expand each I can see all of the displays pixels providing it to 3.6 million pixels per eye almost twice the resolution of a 1080p TV and five times more than a movie in gear VR or a rip the resolution is only half the battle immersion also requires field of view other near eye displays are described as looking like they a 50-inch TV of 8 B as you can see here this gives you about a 30 degree you'll review for comparison behind it is a 10-foot projector screen which provides a 64 degree field of view and here is expand and almost twice the resolution and over 90 degrees field of view this means you can catch your favorite movie show or sports game on an IMAX sized screen in full resolution anywhere in your house or on the go fans uses your phone so you can stream your content anywhere you can get a cellular or Wi-Fi connection we've also sourced a full HD display cartridge that slides into expanse and connects to your favorite HDMI device and we're currently working on a 4k AMOLED cartridge which would provide a 4k feeder experience at 10% the cost of a similar TV but this is only the beginning expenses head tracking and see-through capability allow you to use it in new and exciting ways with the stunning resolution expanse is the single best way to experience new and immersive 360 content fans doesn't suffer from pixelation or the so called screen door effect which can ruin immersion drone enthusiasts can watch a high-definition real-time feed from their drones camera overlaid on the real world letting you pilot your drones while simultaneously getting a first-person view of the flight from the cockpit and gopro heroes can show off their most recent adventures the way they were meant to be seeing while HDR photography enthusiasts can see their photos on-site in wide field of view right when they take expanse also offers new and exciting
