MEMS Speakers for Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) Applications
USound MEMS speakers are the ideal solution for a number of applications, including Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). AR is a type of technology that allows computer-generated content to enhance the real world, while VR refers to an artificial environment that is provided by a computer and experienced through sensory stimuli.
There are multiple tools and gadgets that enable the use of these two technologies, including glasses, smartphone applications, headsets, stereoscopic displays, and gyroscopes. AR glasses and VR headsets are two of the most common types. The former are a type of smart glasses that enhance the user’s environment with digital overlays. For example, when used in combination with GPS technology, AR glasses may display virtual arrows to help you reach your destination. Virtual Reality headsets, on the other hand, are head-mounted devices that isolate the user from his or her environment by creating one that is completely artificial.
MEMS Speaker Applications
Thanks to their compact form, integration flexibility, absence of ferromagnetic materials, robustness, and sound precision, USound’s microspeakers can be used in a number of applications:
True Wireless Systems (TWS) earphones
Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality Glasses and Headsets
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Headphones and Medical Devices
VR Headset Components
To create such immersive virtual experiences, a set of advanced VR headsets components are required. These include motion sensors, lenses, computing devices, and an advanced audio system. USound MEMS speakers are an ideal VR headset component, as their compact size allows designers to optimize the final product by adding other key components.
AR Glasses Components
A pair of AR glasses consists of many components, such as cameras, sensors, and audio modules. USound microspeakers are the ideal AR glasses audio component, as they can improve the gadget’s audio performance and design.
USound MEMS Speaker Benefits for Virtual and Augmented Reality
MEMS speaker benefits for AR and VR applications include:
- Thin form factor for seamless integration into AR and VR devices.
- Micro-2-way system for unparalleled design flexibility.
- Excellent audio performance and clarity for the most high-performing smart glasses and VR headsets.
- Automated manufacturing process.
- Ultra-low vibrations and lightweight components for increased comfort.
- Low heat generation for safe-to-use devices.
- Drop-proof, robust design with 100% survival rate at a 1.9m drop test.
USound’s solution for smart eyewear, in particular, includes the patented Micro-2-way system. Splitting the microspeaker into two separate components – a woofer for low frequencies and a tweeter for high frequencies – offers unparalleled design flexibility, increasing the AR glasses’ overall quality.
