At the ongoing IFA 2016 conference in Berlin, Qualcomm has unveiled a reference design of Snapdragon 820-powered standalone virtual reality head-mounted display (HMD).
The VR reference platform includes an integrated eye tracking with two cameras, dual front-facing cameras for six degrees of freedom and see-through applications and four microphones. It also comes with gyro, accelerometer and magnetometer sensors, noted ZDNet in its report.
Qualcomm has partnered with original design manufacturer (ODM) Goertek to build the Snapdragon 820 VR reference design. The company believes that the design is ready “to go to market quickly” and it expects several OEM partners to roll out the commercial products quickly after the reference design is made available at the end of this year.
