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 $499 (Rs. 36,823 approx.). The company says that it will soon be available in other regions including Korea, China, Hong Kong, and Brazil.
