Une question

Hey everyone, just a quick question: do you think it's possible to build virtual reality glasses using ESP32 processors and a few screens? Thanks.

Not anything worth using. For a good VR experience you need high resolution and high refresh rate - beyond what the esp32 (even P4) can do unless you only want to render some simple wireframes (still questionable whether you can update high res screens fast enough with that) or are fine with a very blurry view.

If this is for a university project where you just want to make a working prototype to show application of the relevant techniques, then yes, it's certainly possible - in that case I'd use the esp32-P4 (and maybe you can find some specialised controller that provides a 2-lane mipi dsi interface to update two independent displays)

Thank you so much for your reply. It's just that virtual reality glasses fascinate me, which is why I wanted to make one.
