Samsung Electronics has announced a new advanced
display technology for the HMD Odyssey+, bringing true-to-life Windows mixed
reality space through the Windows Mixed Reality Platform. It comes with
exclusive Anti-Screen Door Effect (Anti-SDE) Display innovation.
The Anti-Screen Door Effect is where fine lines
separating pixels become visible in some displays, the Screen Door Effect can
hinder immersion and even lead to dizziness or nausea over time. The Samsung
HMD Odyssey+ deploys its cutting-edge display technology to fight irritating
fixed-pattern noise, with 1,233 PPI for an enhanced mixed reality experience.
It comes with dual 3.5-inch AMOLED displays with a combined resolution of 1,440
x 1,600 per eye.
The Samsung HMD Odyssey+’s controller can act as a
flashlight, allowing you to see the world around you for a more comfortable and
convenient way to stay aware of your surroundings. The Samsung HMD Odyssey+
integrates AKG’s premium audio technology and comes built-in with the
360-degree spatial sound support that simulates 3D audio, delivering clear and
precise acoustics from every angle. The headset also includes built-in volume
controls, allowing you to easily adjust the volume whenever you need.
It weighs 590g along with a wide eye box measuring
146mm to help match your facial features. Everything from the headband to the
display position, to the Inter-Pupillary Distance (IPD) wheel, is easily
adjustable. The breathable anti-fog material of the Samsung HMD Odyssey+’s face
padding ensures the inside of the eye box doesn’t mist up. The Samsung HMD
Odyssey+ also comes with pre-paired controllers, so you can start playing right
out of the box.
The 6DOF controller can detect your every move and
distance traveled inside your mixed reality world, responding quickly to the
slightest motion, ensuring your gameplay movements are more natural. The
Samsung HMD Odyssey+ is already available at the Microsoft store and
Samsung.com and is priced at US$ 499. The company says that
it will soon be available in other regions including Korea, China, Hong Kong,
and Brazil.
