The first batch of Qualcomm VR ones are expected to be launched in the second half of 2017
Qualcomm’s latest VRDK headline is a reference design for consumer electronics manufacturers that is designed to make head-mounted displays based on Qualcomm's Snapdragon VR hardware. Now that manufacturers have started research and development, the first consumer head based on the VRDK reference design is expected to be available in the second half of 2017.
Qualcomm's latest VRDK is based on the Xiaolong 835 chip. The Snapdragon 835 is suitable for a range of mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets, and Qualcomm said that this chip is also specifically designed for VR.
As part of the VR plan, Qualcomm has launched the HMD Accelerator Program, which aims to "reduce resource constraints and quickly commercialize VR head-ups." Basically, Qualcomm hopes to use this program to help manufacturers produce VR headsets based on Qualcomm hardware. This is similar to Intel's Project Alloy reference head plan.
The head-up accelerator program is based on the VRDK reference head of the Snapdragon 835: an integrated mobile VR head with an inside-out 6-DOF tracking, a 90Hz 2560x1440 AM OLED display, a 100-degree field of view, 4GB RAM, and an eye Tracking and hand tracking (by moving the latest mobile sensors). This is a complete device that does not require a host PC or plug-in smartphone. But VRDK will not be sold to consumers, at least not through the hands of Qualcomm.
Manufacturers can make their own VR headsets based on VRDK, and these devices may differ greatly in design from VRDK, but will use most of Qualcomm's hardware and underlying technologies. OEMs can choose which hardware and features of the VRDK should be preserved, and may add their own designs to distinguish other VRDK-based heads.
Qualcomm stated that Goertek Acoustics and Chuangtong Lianda are the first companies to join the head-up accelerator program. If OEMs want to produce VRDK-based consumer editions, GoerTek will provide them with manufacturing services.
Qualcomm pointed out that the first batch of consumer equipment is expected to be launched in the second half of 2017.
The company also plans to provide VRDK to content creators to cultivate an application ecosystem based on the Snapdragon 835 platform. Xiao Bian expects these heads will be shipped to developers in Q2 2017.
Compared with smart phone-based plug-in mobile head display, the integrated head display has some obvious advantages. For example, integrated heads can be optimized specifically for VR, while plug-in heads are limited by the design of smartphones (thin, thin, small, and limited heat dissipation). However, there are potential drawbacks to the integration of the head display. The biggest drawback may be cost. In order to provide a good VR experience, integrated VR heads need to use most of the same hardware (displays, CPUs, GPUs, sensors, batteries, etc.) as smartphones, which means that their prices may be as expensive as new phones. .
Qualcomm and its partners have not announced specific pricing information, so we still need to wait and see if this can quickly become mainstream.
