Information from Samsung's virtual reality headset, called Exynos VR, is the company's independent headset using the Exynos chip.
Virtual reality headsets developed by different companies have a different structure. Some of these virtual reality headsets require a computer to work. The second group of headsets is actually a lens-equipped frame to fit smartphones that provide their processing power through these phones. In the meantime, some companies have gone into the design and development of independent virtual reality headsets, including HTC, which is developing a standalone VIVE headset, which is called the All-In-one headset. There is information about Samsung's Al-inl-one Headsets, which utilizes the Exynos processor chipset.

In the past weeks, there have been speculations about the product, before we saw the news about the All-In-One virtual reality headset. For example, you can use eye-tracking technology in this headset developed by Visual Camp. The VC eye-tracking technology is optimized for use in mobile augmented reality headsets, while the release details of the agreement between the two companies suggests that Samsung has planned to use it in the Exynos virtual reality headset.
Using this technology is a very interesting option for the manufacturers of virtual reality headset. Using this technology and understanding the user's perspective, only a point in the display uses hardware resources to render 100% of the details in the image that the user looks at. In fact, the only local display of the full 100% of the video content is displayed to the user for the user to look at. This method is crucial for the next generation of virtual reality headsets, because it eliminates unnecessary processing and thus reduces heat production.
According to the information provided, Samsung intends to include other features in the Exynos's virtual reality headset, including hand-detecting, recognizing voice commands, and identifying facial expressions. During the World Mobile Congress held in China, Samsung talked about the development of a new series of its processors, called the exynos-3, taking into account virtual reality headset processing.
The eye-tracking technology is of great importance in augmented reality headsets, as other companies active in this area are working to achieve and improve this technology.
