Cyberface2 and The Telehead

The Widest Angle Cyberface

The Cyberface2 is a general-purpose head-mounted display system that uses two 4-inch diagonal high-resolution color LCD video panels for extremely wide angle stereoscopic Virtual Reality. The Cyberface2 is LEEP Systems' first complete color system and is the first LCD-based system to offer true RGB color for enhanced color crispness. To this day, the Cyberface2 offers the widest field of view ever commercially available. With appropriate formatting of sound a nd picture, Cyberface2 immerses the wearer in extremely wide angle, interactive, computer-generated worlds. The images displayed by the Cyberface2 are good enough for chemists' visualization of viruses and other molecules, and for architects' visualization of unbuilt spaces and structures.

• Large Eye Lenses Provided Wide Angle With Plenty Of Eye Relief (Eyeglass Wearers Welcomed)
• Binaural Audio for accurate telepresence.
• Featherweight Chest Counterpoise for maximum comfort.
• RGB Component input PAL or NTSC at the flip of a switch.
• Optional composite video input.
• Optional Freedom Arm mounting.

Divergent Optics for Higher FOV and Resolution

By diverging the optical axes by 25 degrees, the Cyberface2 achieves a 25° greater lateral field. The optical system differs from that used in the original Cyberface (and in all other commercial, and most experimental, head-mounted display systems that use the original LEEP optics) in that it provides a wider field of view for each eye as well as a 25-degree wider total lateral field of view. The result is a sensible expansion of the view, with very little indication of restricted view at the sides. This gives enhanced immersion to the scene.

Telepresence and the LEEP Telehead

The Cyberface2 makes a complete stereoscopic and bynaural system for remote sight and sound in laboratory and field conditions. The LEEP Telehead is the next generation of the puppet. The Telehead is a remote dual-camera platform that provides wide-angle stereo video and binaural audio sound for telepresence. In telepresence applications, the Telehead's video camera lenses provide the orthoscopic formatting.
