Lots of wearables and really interesting mashups.  There were also lots of the traditional &#8216;things getting smaller, and tv&#8217;s getting bigger&#8217;.  But two items really stood out for me.  The DTS 11.1 \/ DTS headphone:x which provide amazing surround audio &#8211; and the Oculus Rift crystal cove prototype for surround visuals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/oculus_1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/oculus_1.jpg\" alt=\"oculus_1\" width=\"899\" height=\"311\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/oculus_1.jpg 899w, https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/oculus_1-150x51.jpg 150w, https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/oculus_1-300x103.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 899px) 100vw, 899px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Oculus rift prototype has a new 1920&#215;1080 panel which really improves the resolution and allows text and UI elements to be easily readable.  OLED for faster refresh, overall reduced latency with a whole host of techniques to get it down including strobing the display for short bursts as the head is in the correct predicted position! &#8211; and most importantly the external camera and IR LED&#8217;s provide full head tracking so you can move your head anywhere, its a huge improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Combined with eye tracking, voice recognition and a 3d camera for hand tracking this is my perfect user interface scenario!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/oculus_2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/oculus_2.jpg\" alt=\"oculus_2\" width=\"900\" height=\"255\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/oculus_2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/oculus_2-150x42.jpg 150w, https:\/\/davidbrebner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/oculus_2-300x85.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This image shows how the lens units take the slightly warped stereo views rendered onto the OLED panel and transform them into wide angle views for each eye.
