Outcomes and Additional Information
The team researched how to quantify laser properties in VR, including ambient lighting, laser power, and wavelength.
Human characteristics that can effect how laser strikes impact performance (such as age and eye color) were also researched.
This 2020 effort was expanded on in the 2022 Laser Eye Protection project.
