90% of screen door effect disappeared when we switched from pen-tile OLED to ordinary RGB matrix.
The remaining 10% still remained with the HP Reverb and the Pico 4 which I've used quite a bit, so it's not a solved issue but it's a world of difference from the old Vive or Quest 1 if that's your reference frame.
("pancake lenses" is a similar upgrade over the old fresnel lenses)
It's around what the Quest 3 has. There is no noticeable screen door effect on that headset. Since you can make the monitors as big as you like, you could do a multi-monitor setup, maybe. ... as someone who uses VR pretty heavily though, I'm not sure I'd personally ... want to?
I'm being cheeky and implying that the reason signal's active backend is not disclosed as hoped for in a prior poster's comment is because the CIA (or other intelligence) is involved in it.
The cipher wishes Charles II was the king again. The Stuart Restoration did happen in 1660 in fact, restoring Charles II to the throne. Legend has it he died of laughter, which checks out with the cipher because he was laughing how his wish got fulfilled yet he could tell no one about it yet :P
If what you want is fox ears does it matter to you which country manages to come up with the biomedical procedure to give them to you? Ditto for enhanced eyesight, a replacement liver, or whatever it is you're after.
100% getting ready to try and get congress to build them a regulatory moat. They were hoping those headline-incidents they staged would prompt a congressional hearing but our government is too inept right now to know its head from its ass much less do anything about AI
I really deeply worry about who is deciding what 'aligned' is. Amodei & his ilk talk like the hard part is getting the LLMs to behave, as if we've figured out morality itself. I don't think LLMs are going to be as dangerously capable as quickly as he does, but if I'm wrong and he's right, and they're building some sort of digital-lesser-god, I don't feel good that techbros at OpenAI and Anthropic are the moral arbitrators.
How? Is this for every image taken, or does one need to take a second photo? Or is it "in theory phase detection hardware would let you make a depth map"
The sensor has special pixels which can detect phase differences in incoming light. Camera uses these pixels (aka embedded detectors on the image sensor) to be able to focus where you want. This is same from phones to professional cameras.
(DSLR cameras have independent phase detection arrays. This is why the mirror has a small mirror behind. To illuminate that section).
Lenses are tuned. They know how distant the thing they are focusing on, also photos' EXIF generally carries the focus point information. Side note: Apple Aperture used to be able to show where you focused with that info. Still no app does this. I'm still mad that we don't have Aperture anymore. Anyway...
So, if you collect this phasing information alongside the photo which you're taking, you are capturing the depth map of the photo. Its resolution will be lower, but not lower enough to be useless.
For example, Sony (and most probably all other big camera manufacturers) cameras use this phasing data throughout sensor in real-time for following moving subjects to keep the focus on them by predicting where they are going.
So, there's no "in theory". The phasing data is the depth map. Otherwise your camera can't focus on anything. It's there to focus, and it's done by reading the phasing data and knowing where to go by how much.
All fast AF systems are PDAF. When light is too low, then it's CDAF, which does way slower, without using any phase/depth data.
