The K-ICT Born2Global Centre, a Korean government agency under the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP), announced that the VR eye-tracking technology of member company, Visual Camp, will be mounted on Samsung Electronics’ next-generation all-in-one-type Exynos VR HMD (head-mounted display).
Several other technologies will be applied to the Exynos 3, in addition to the company’s eye-tracking technology, including hand tracking, voice recognition, and facial expression recognition.
Visual Camp said that it attracted significant attention for its VR eye-tracking technology at the Samsung Electronics booth at Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2017 (MWCS 2017), held from June 28 through July 1 in Shanghai. At the event, Samsung Electronics revealed its new Exynos 3 and VR reference platform.
A measurement of the CPU power consumption of Samsung Electronics’ Exynos 8890 chip resulted in the relatively low (average) figure of less than 3%, the firm said and it believes that this proves the product’s outstanding performance.
Visual Camp was included in the 2015 Red Herring Asia 100 list and was also included on the G-Startup Seoul Top 15, which is a ranking which involves the participation of over 200 outstanding startup companies from all over the world.
Analyst Comment
Visual Camp made this release with the image below and seems to have leaked details that Samsung had not! This would be Samsung’s first stand-alone VR headset. The Exynos VRIII can run one UltraHD display at 75fps or dual WQHD+ displays (not absolutely certain what resolution that is, but it could be 2960×1440!) at 90 fps. (BR)
