HP Proposes 'VR Snacking' as a Solution for Engineering Workflows
Summary
Even VR enthusiasts have to admit it can be a cumbersome experience: putting on a head-mounted display (HMD), handling controllers, possibly setting up sensors, and more.One solution, as proposed by HP Labs—the exploratory R&D wing of HP—is the concept of “VR snacking”—letting users quickly and easily switch between a standard monitor display and a VR headset.HP unveiled a proof of concept for VR snacking at the 2018 Autodesk University Conference in Las Vegas with a headset called Opera Glass.One of the advantages of VR-based design and digital twins is they offer a glimpse of real world fidelity without having to produce a physical part.Rather than a working prototype of a new product, what was on display at Autodesk University appears to be HPs Windows Mixed Reality headset with some external modifications to allow for the stick attachment.
