HP Omnicept and HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition

The HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition is the latest development in VR hardware and software. A VR-bril with built-in eye-tracking, an integrated facial tracker, and even a built-in heart rate monitor. The current expected release date for the HP Omnicept is scheduled for May 2021. In this blog, we will outline what we can expect from it.

HP introduces with HP Omnicept a new and interesting combination of the best VR hardware and software for professional VR users. The HP Reverb G2 Omnicept-edition is an upgraded variant of the previously released HP Reverb G2. Among other features, with a built-in eye-tracker, heart rate monitor, and facial camera, the Reverb G2 Omni promises to be a breath of fresh air in the field of business VR use.

Applications in training, education, well-being, and development.

HP focuses with Omnicept on three general pillars: training, well-being, and creation. Firstly, HP Omnicept is tailored to measure and analyse data. The VR-bril can provide companies with more insight into the cognitive skills of users. Think, for example, of a police officer who has to make an important decision in a fraction of a second.

With the built-in biometric sensors, the Reverb G2 Omnicept can monitor and analyse the well-being of employees or users. VR can thus contribute to reducing stress, increasing job satisfaction, or contributing to certain breakthroughs within your company.

The integrated sensors make the Reverb G2 Omnicept-HMD a unique experience for users who want to create their own avatar. The built-in facial tracker offers the possibility to display emotions in the virtual world. This ensures more engagement and realism during communication in the VR-wereld. And thanks to the built-in inside-out tracking sensors, the Reverb G2-headset is also very easy to use in different environments.

• Foveated rendering:With integrated eye-tracking from Tobii®, the Reverb G2 Omnicept can distinguish the user's gaze direction, reducing GPU-belasting and improving image quality within the user's field of view, making the VR-beleving feel more realistic.
• Motion tracking:With four cameras and internal sensors for position detection, the arm- and controller movements are tracked even better. Jump straight into virtual reality without additional peripherals, such as external sensors!
• Motion controllers:With a smaller and more ergonomic design, the controllers are natural and comfortable to hold. Moreover, benefit from excellent tracking performance with integrated Bluetooth®-verbinding.
• Updated cable:The new and improved 6-metre cable connects directly to the headset and is thinner and lighter than ever.

In 3 steps, HP Omnicept provides a complete hardware- and software solution to use Omnicept in the business world.

• Step 1:The Reverb G2-HMD captures data via the built-in sensors: with the eye-tracker, pupillometry (eye measurement), heart rate monitor, and facial camera, the Reverb G2 can capture all the data that is important to you and your company.
• Step 2:Omnicept software analyses and translates the data: with the extensive Omnicept-software (including machine learning), Omnicept analyses and transforms the data from the Reverb G2-HMD into usable information.
• Step 3: Adaptive XR-ervaring: the transformed data can then be used by the end user to build upon.

HP offers an extensive SDK that allows users to choose different support levels and functionalities that match their needs and goals. The Omni Core SDK is free and can be used as standard on the HP Omnicept. However, when you opt for the Academische- or Enterprise-pakket, there may be costs associated with the additional services (such as various SDKs and HP-service levels). These additional services include an Inference Engine SDK, Pulse Rate Variability API, and extra support for developers. Click herefor more information about the software-mogelijkheden.
