Meet BUDDY, the All-New AR/VR Head-Mounted Display Testing Device with 6DOF
OptoFidelity’s BUDDY is a leading comprehensive measurement system for head-mounted displays (HMDs) in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) applications. Now with 6DOF (six degrees of freedom), BUDDY accurately mimics human movement – allowing for automated testing of headset performance including motion-to-photon latency, content stability, pose-drifting and world-locking. As the AR/VR market heats up, so does the competitive landscape. An early edge in the development process can mean all the difference.

- Streamlined integration with any existing test system
- Solves AR/VR quality issues with precision robotics
OptoFidelity offers industrial automation testing systems that allow AR/VR designers to gain end-to-end system performance visibility with a ‘shift-left’ approach. Incorporating automated testing into the early stages of HMD development can identify and alleviate potential challenges before they even appear. Early testing also helps to build a dataset after running realistic performance scenarios.
Market-leading technology companies are betting big on the Metaverse. Central to this is the creation of HMDs that can show as realistic and comfortable of an augmented or virtual world as possible for its user. For manufacturers to achieve true immersion and presence optical quality and resolution is essential. Factors like image quality, tracking accuracy, and reliability all play a part in the consumer experience.
