Many software applications dedicated to Augmented, Virtual and Mixed Reality (AR, VR and MR) systems have been developed to enable tools, particularly in maintenance and medical fields. These applications are optimized to exploit the functionalities available in AR, VR or MR systems, whether they are in the form of glasses or helmets, integrating a smartphone or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to know the optical characteristics of an AR, VR or MR system to properly develop the software application that will be associated with it to obtain maximum performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a customer in the medical field, PIS\u00c9O has developed a test protocol to know the actual optical performance of the AR system selected in connection with its software application, with a view to US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)<\/a> certification for the American market. The measurements of the optical performance of these systems were carried out in the PIS\u00c9O test lab, in a controlled environment and with test equipment calibrated under ISO 17025 accreditation. They follow the recommendations given by the IEC 63145-20-20 standards and IDMS v1.1a.<\/p>\n\n\n

AR for augmented reality makes it possible to superimpose digital content on the real world to introduce virtual objects and information. The user still sees the real environment, superimposed with this layer of digital content. The display takes place on a screen visible to the user, most often via augmented reality glasses or via a smartphone with a specific application offering AR capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike AR, VR encompasses all the immersive experiences available via a VR headset or head-mounted display (HMD). The user is completely cut off from the real world, in a virtual environment visible through the VR headset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Particularly used in the medical field to assist pre-operative teams, VR totally immerses the user into a 3D virtual environment via a VR headset. The user can thus turn their head 360\u00b0 around themselves, move in space and interact with the virtual environment thanks to joysticks, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VR is based on 3 pillars: interaction, immersion and the feeling of presence which work together to create a realistic virtual environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MR combines several technologies. An MR headset makes it possible to integrate virtual elements into the real world by allowing these elements to interact with the environment. The user is not cut off from the real world, they can see through the headset or mixed reality glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technology mixes AR and VR, which increases its potential compared to VR alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AR, VR or MR systems present themselves in different sectors. Some are connected to a PC and are controlled by a Windows MR type application, while others are autonomous. Still others use a smartphone with a dedicated application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
