Digi-Capital unveils its first global best-in-class AR/VR benchmarks

Digi-Capital has completed the first technical benchmarking of augmented reality/virtual reality head-mounted displays (HMD) globally, and we would like to thank the AR/VR CEOs and CTOs who made this possible. No single company achieved best-in-class across all benchmarks, and some lesser known companies achieved some of the best scores. There are almost as many approaches as there are systems, with engineering tradeoffs depending on target market and application. In terms of market readiness, VR is ahead of AR today.

We had 26 benchmarks across seven critical success factors of mobility, vision, immersion, usability, flexibility, wearability, and affordability. The full benchmarking gets into the technical weeds, so highlights are below. Remember, these are individual best-in-class benchmarks from different companies’ products, so don’t expect them in a single magical device just yet.
