Breakthrough from VR to Mixed Reality and the Key Role of Conductive Slip Rings

In the first half of 2024, the AI terminal market has sparked a new wave, and the launch of Vision Pro has given rise to a new market segment - mixed reality (MR) headsets. It combines the technological advantages of VR and AR, creating a new form of headset.

It must be mentioned that conductive slip rings play a key role in this technological advancement, ensuring stable operation and precise data processing of head mounted devices by achieving efficient power and signal transmission between rotating and static components. In addition, the application of conductive slip rings has optimized equipment design, improved user comfort in wearing and operating, and supported more innovative features such as dynamic viewpoint adjustment and real-time data updates, thereby promoting the development of AR/VR and MR headset technology and improving user experience. ‌

At present, many VR devices on the market still rely on dedicated cables to transmit information, which to some extent limits the flexibility and user experience of the devices. Especially when 360 ° rotation is required, the problem of wire winding is particularly evident, and it usually only provides limited sensory stimulation, such as visual impact, lacking a more comprehensive sensory experience. To address these issues, conductive slip rings have emerged, specifically designed to solve the problem of winding wires during equipment rotation. It plays an important role in modern high-tech electromechanical equipment and has become an indispensable connector for many electrical devices.

In the field of VR, the application of conductive slip rings is particularly important. As a tool for solving wire constraints, conductive slip rings enable VR devices to rotate freely, greatly enhancing their flexibility and user experience. JINPAT has designed multiple VR specific slip rings for multiple global VR device manufacturers, providing corresponding solutions for both large and small volume devices.

The conductive slip ring designed by JINPAT for VR swivel chairs integrates high-definition video signal paths and USB2.0 signal paths, supporting up to 4K@30Hz The video signal transmission of VR devices solves the problem of wire winding during rotation and enhances sensory experiences such as touch, providing more comprehensive stimulation in visual, tactile, and auditory aspects. In addition to small devices such as swivel chairs, many medium to large VR devices can achieve unlimited rotation after installing conductive slip rings. Due to the ability of conductive slip rings to support speeds of hundreds or even thousands of revolutions per minute, these VR devices can be modified to provide a more stimulating experience in tactile and sensory environments.

With the continuous development of the VR industry, the evolution of devices from static to dynamic, from simple to complex is an inevitable trend. In this process, professional VR conductive slip rings have become an indispensable technical component. JINPAT has not only developed different types of combined conductive slip rings and specialized signal slip rings for small and medium-sized devices, but also developed a large integrated conductive slip ring that integrates multiple high-power paths, high-definition video signal paths, and other signal paths for the rotating ultra large VR dynamic cinema system. These innovative solutions greatly enhance the power and signal rotation transmission capabilities of devices, promoting the further development and application of VR technology.
