French scientists claimed that they developed a new system called FlyVIZ which enables humans to get 360 degree vision. The headset in the system is said to capture the images from different directions and thereafter transform these into the matter which is possible for the human vision system to comprehend.
The headset was designed at Grande Ecole d'Ingenieurs Paris-Laval, France. At present the headset is at a stage where it weighs 1.6 kg and is quite heavy to carry around. It is connected with the laptop for processing the images while functioning.
The device basically makes use of a video camera which is mounted on the top of the helmet with special mirrors that can be used for capturing scenes all around a user. It then displays the results in real-time on modified 3D Viewer headset. The entire system takes around 15 minutes for a user to get used to.
Once a user is able to get used to it, it is possible to move around as well as interact fluidly with the environment.
In the trials that were conducted, the users got hold of the sticks which were beyond their normal view field. The users even dodged the balls from behind as well as drove the vehicle! Even though the device offers a new perspective of environment to the users, but it still does not cause any form of uneasiness, visual fatigue or motion sickness.
Despite FlyVIZ captures and displays the images in 2 D formats, but the users still got functional depth perception.
