Why Apple Vision Pro needs "Micro-OLED" 

I am proud. I recorded this video all in one take with no editing. Um Consider Supporting me: bradsmells.com/patreon

Brad when he realizes that he doesn't have to put in effort into videos. We are gonna watch everything you release Brad!

this is what pre content-dystopia yt channels used to look like; no retention editing, no meandering imprecise bullshit, just a sexy lil slideshow and someone spittin facts. There’s cocaine that’s cut with garbage and then there’s the good shit that Brad’s cookin. Keep it up

It’s not a hard concept. I see Brad content, I watch Brad content. Simple!

Brad, this is good stuff. Your main channel should be rewarded for more frequent content and the high quality provided here.

Brad lynch? More like Brad Linchpin!!! Cause you're such a crucial part of the VR community!❤

thanks for making a second channel and releasing more frequent uploads. love listening to ur opinions

wow Brad, jaw falling off with that much of rich information! thanks so much for this video

Not gonna lie, the thumbnail from the spec discussion video made me think it was copy-paste clickbait just talking about the specs everyone can read on the Apple website, but saw your video recommended on Reddit and holy hell are you knowledgeable about VR/AR/MR. So, so glad I found your channel. Keep it up!

love the more frequent uploads on this channel tbh

I'm here for all the avp content you can cook up Brad.

First ! I am enjoying this channel, i cant wait to follow your journey with my apple vision on

He does such a great job simplifying his explanations. Naturally too. Awesome vid!

This is the best video - channel i have discovered in the last 5 years. Period

This is officially an Apple Vision Pro stan acount and I love it lol

As always, thank you for the awesome content! Keep it up! 😊

This video was lit as a nit

You know so much and explain stuff very well. I've followed your main channel for a long time, but i'm excited that you're giving us more content here. Thank you!

Great to have a refresher and bring all this info together.

I am absolutely loving the content on this new channel!

Thank goodness it's bradly!

always lookin forward to your vids

I think this RU-vidr is going to be big someday! This channel is underrated

This channel is great. There is always good context for his talk, and he really knows his stuff for the most part.

Thank you for this peek into the future

Love your vision and knowledge man! Screen technology is going to keep improving and it’s awesome to hear your take on it

Wow, these videos are getting better and better. You are really informative but also very clear in your presentation. Thanks so much Brad!

Really great content Brad! Thanks!

Very Instructive, thanks man.

Awesome breakdown as always Brad.

Thanks Brad. Great vid 💡🏆

Thank you for such an enthusiastic and in depth video!

i love this channel more than the main one 😛

Just wanted to let you know that you look good with long hair 👍🏻 Also learned new stuff about vr display technology thanks

I'm so glad it's Brad

Nice analysis!

Absolutely loving these breakdowns man!!! Amazing video!

I really like your perspective on your last 2 videos! Keep it up!

Great one!!

I like this shit Brad. It’s like having a chat to you vs. an edit. Keep it up mate.

I love this technical detail, and appreciate your level of detailed research and enthusiasm.

That was a great follow up video!

Very informative!

I really go love these more in-depth looks, great content. I didn't actually know some of the stuff in this video. Also: Being a theoretical physicist, it's actually great to see you explain things in terms of "pressure" and "hoses" and such, probably not knowing how really similar the equations for hydrodynamics and electrodynamics really are. You can absolutely ride that metaphor in many, many cases.

This is a great video! Please keep making videos like this! Making the February 2nd wait much more tolerable

Thanks brad

Interesting! Can’t wait to see it for myself in my Vision Pro 🤩

Thank you for the concise and informative video! This tech is fascinating and not enough people talk about it.

This is next level coverage. Fills the hole that Rene Ritchie left in my heart when he stopped doing Apple deep dives. Subscribed and I’ll check out your other videos!

I look forward to your full review on the Apple Vision Pro. I want to know everything it can actually do. I'm a Windows user but I love watching movies in 4K and 3D. I would like to see how much productivity I can do with this headset like having multiple windows open, etc.

Nice informative video my guy. Subbing. I’ve wanted to get more on the tech of VR but it’s been hard. This was great watching during my computer work

In this video, Brad discusses the importance of micro OLED displays for the Apple Vision Pro and how it compares to other display technologies. He explains that micro OLED displays have the potential to provide higher resolutions and brighter displays than other technologies, which can lead to more immersive and realistic VR experiences. He also mentions the challenges of producing micro OLED displays, such as the need for brighter displays and the limitations of current lithography equipment. Brad believes that as micro OLED technology continues to improve, we can expect even better VR experiences in the future.

yeeeeyyyy! more content!!!

keep it coming!!

Love the new channel and and the new outlook. Always good to be glad vs sad! Hoping for more videos, especially Vision Pro commentary.

Fantastic!

Another good one!

Wow just like the immersed visor!

We're finally there. Been waiting since the Samsung Odyssey+ for the industry to move back to OLED. Micro-OLED is a dream come true. Have a BSB on order, about to go into production, and have my eye on the Visor, next gen DPVR headset, and Samsung's upcoming headset all later this year. VR has been in a massive lull but I believe this is the next gen that will launch VR to the next stage as mainstream products. Something like Immersed's Visor with controllers and standalone gaming + SteamVR support is really the sort of package that everyone is truly going to want. It's a shame that Visor doesn't come with its own controllers and such support right out of the box. But this is where it's headed in the near future. Should be glorious.

main channel worthy for sure

Loving these more frequent, off the cuff videos.

HELL YEA BRAD!

that micro oled (past tech, future with emagin) breakdown was very well explained, even a dummie like me understood it!

As for now, this is the most thorough vision pro channel, hopefully you will also tell us tips, best apps, ways to have like "emulation or kinda side loading" apps, or new ways to use it, I already have for myself a real world use, I want to try the vision pro on a bed, since ar VR headsets need one to be standing or seating, but not in the bed like we see on anime or movies, so hopefully with this headset that thing will be possible. Also I would love to know if there any data possibility on the battery or the only way to transfer would be airplay and icloud, but I guess we will have to wait until the vision pro launch. Best

The light isn't pressurized, so to speak. The lenses direct the light with refraction, putting more light where you direct the refraction point. No pressure involved. ;)

You became much more bearable since getting burned out on imaginary valve headset and accepting the reality that valve don't care. Good job brad.

Watch this channel become way more popular than your other one.

People should use megapixels; everyone understands megapixels and its fast. Basic 4k monitor is ~8Mp. Then you can at least understand easily about how much more resolution is there in a 11.5Mp panel that Apple uses.

This is soooooo interesting. New viewer here with AVP pre order

I am loving this channel! Thanks for explaining the differences! I know you did this before but that was a while ago! Do you think TV’s will ever be able to use this technology or are the screens too large?

So for a topic, can you cover the subject of Smartglasses /VR "Puck". I am curious why the industry doesn't move more in that direction

The holographic lens sounds so interesting and really hope products launch with it soon, like in next 2-3 years

I'm here!

I saw there were 2 other optic technologies that you didnt really go into. Would be great to get a video about future optic technologies and what effect those will have on the size of something like a vision pro.

3:42 Well, technically no. Or at least they shouldn’t. Unlike 1080p and 2160p, 4K refers to the horizontal pixels not the diagonal pixels.

The person who has studied and understands, for example, how a computer actually works (from the gate or transistor logic up) is different from a person who uses a computer and has a varying degree of actual understanding. Without a specific requirement, neither is more important in general, mind you but I have witnessed so many self-proclaimed ‘experts’ such as the fellow who admonished you for Apple already having declared the VP resolution of “4K per eye”. Sometimes it’s more important to know what you don’t know than what you do know. Great vid Brad - thanks

When you begun explaining in your first video why you decided to create this channel I began wondering what sort of content you think the algorithm wouldn't like and what about the videos here the algorithm wouldn't like. I still have no idea and really want to know

When he does that laugh at 2:27 you know you done f***ed up. LMAO

I would agree with your last statements for sure. Unless we get to point with lasers/mini projectors basically that project straight into your eyes, there seems to be a lot of complexity in getting the best image quality with a lens based solution.

Florida Man throwing down some knowledge. Love it. I'm interested in learning more about holographic lens. Some of Meta's prototypes use them to get very small form factor but I have no idea how those lens work.

I think I like this channel more

"We use the measurement candela, which is another name for nits that everyone uses these days more than candela. Basically it's the same, it's actually directly correlated to lumens...so that's what a nit is, it's the pressure of light rather than the amount of light that's present from the light source." The two parts of this are directly contradictory; the first is incorrect, the second is correct. A nit is the we-got-fed-up-saying-it, informal name for a candela per square meter. The situation is analogous to a pound vs. a psi or a newton vs. a pascal. Luminous intensity, or nits, is important because it's very easy to increase luminance, or candelas - just use more or bigger panels. However, that wrecks the optical properties of HMDs and/or makes them deep/big/heavy/hot. Making higher luminous intensity, nits, requires new tech and allows more brightness in the same system or the same brightness in a better system.

Gladly it's Bradley

Nice overview! The comment on the current color filter approach makes me wonder what could be achieved with a prototype monochromatic headset.. Also interesting the LED produce white light, maybe it's just a bunch of RGB crammed together or layered? Lastly, with micro lenses to collimate light then a lossy optical assembly to focus it properly, it makes me wonder what the eventual possibilities are with screen tech. I think people have mentioned basically having a micro-array of lasers which just beam directly into your eyes (with appropriate focus) though I am sure there's nothing even close to reality for actually manufacturing something like that, at the moment.

lol you're two videos into this new channel, and your release schedule is already better for the algorithm than the Sadly channel.

Could you look into the new transparent displays for the fancy TVs you saw at CES and what it would take to make that into AR glasses? Thanks.

Maybe the next generation of HMD will deliver the performance to make it my preferred movie viewing mode. Here's hoping!

I think you should just post everything to your main channel, these video where you talk is what I watch you for lol

Yay! A fellow longtime eMagin stan. It's exciting to see them be more than hopeful prototypes and boastful vaporware.

The fact that this is unscripted is more crazy. You have a lot of knowledge in that cranium of yours.

All I care about is CRT-like motion resolution and HDR. Sounds like I still won't be able to get both until emagin micro OLEDs. Maybe.

This is better than some college lectures

Wow, it’s like he’s the anti-Bighead. Similar physical take but super astute and on the ball. (Silicon Valley deep cut)

BOE made the Deck OLED display for some of the LE OLED models from what I've read.

Oh Brad, don't think we didn't catch you in 12:20 teasing the >90% of transmissive holographic lenses. I get why; based on Meta's whitepaper, it needs an exotic light source (lasers, not display panels), so it's a ~10yr future tech. The next step would likely be folded holo (~25%) + RGB uOLED (15k nits). I can see (heh) this w/in 5 years on a slim, HDR standalone by Apple or Meta.

Hey Brad, thanks for another great video! Curious if you might be able to speak more to how the size of the display chip itself and optics all affect perceived field of view as I don't fully understand all this. I tried the Quest 2 back when it came out and felt like I was looking through a tunnel with black borders all around. Based on the specs that are available for the Apple Vision Pro, how do you think the perceived field of view will differ from the Quest 2 or other devices on the market? Do you feel they will be making any major strides in this area? Thanks! :)

One think about VR resolution that many people forget when compared to TV or phone is that each eye gets an offset image. And the human brain composites both eyes. Do in some ways you can compare 4K per eye to having 2 4K pannels in front of each other with a small offset so you end up with twice the resolution. But the human eye does even more as our brain has some temporal image memory (human TAA) so as you head moves a small amount the extra image jitter you creat adds resolution. Howe this only works if the images you are viewer are rendered correctly. On issue many HMDs have for 2D content (like watching a film or reading text) is they render this out to a single texture and then reproject that texture onto a plane for each eye. Such systems limit this texture target resolution for VRAM and bandwidth reasons. So you end up with artifacts (in particular if your viewing content that is not perpendicular) Vision Pro renders per eye and for UI and text renders foveated. The underlying UI stack apple are using for this is very impressive how they can do variable resolution off axis text rendering per eye without exposing were the user is looking to the application.

Do you have video(s) discussing the various types of holographic lenses, the benefits they’ll bring, and when we could expect them in consumer devices like the Apple Vision Pro? I would love that!

With the resolution that the Vision Pro has, will it be possible to see individual pixels?

Wow one take
