Description Scientists are exploring new material designs to make smaller and denser pixel displays After decades of relative dormancy, augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) are among the fastest developing consumer product technologies today. The growing market demand for these headset devices is being driven by a wide range of applications, from social networking to education, medicine, and, of course, gaming. However, a larger-scale adoption of the technology by the general public will require the headsets to be smaller, lighter, and cheaper and to have more data-processing power. The competing demand for their displays to be smaller and to have higher resolution is particularly challenging because of the inherent trade-off between the two. Recent advances on the display technology for VR may help to achieve that goal.
