AR / VR
Development and test solutions to help deliver groundbreaking products that redefine the way people interact with technology.
Request a QuoteBeyond Gaming. Beyond Basic Testing.
AR and VR kits require customized testing depending on tethering, phone access, and display pairing: a tethered gaming headset is vastly different from an enterprise video conferencing solution. Novus Labs is well-versed in every type of pre-consumer testing needed for AR and VR devices: sensors, screen visibility, battery consumption, essential hardware, and firmware & software validation for security and ease of use.
Gaming remains a major focus, but we're excited to support clients whose products reach beyond gaming, from VR-guided museum tours to AR-powered conference calls, and all the immersive technology in between.

2-Axis Rate Table
For game-changing technology like AR and VR, basic testing isn't enough. Novus Labs developed a unique, custom solution to meet the extra demands: the 2-Axis Rate Table. An automated tool that rotates and spins a tracker, measuring what the application interprets versus what's actually happening.
The result is a sensor-focused validation loop that reveals the sweet spot of modern AR/VR: predictive buffering, near-zero latency, and the ability to track user movements cleanly in real time. Pivotal for guaranteeing devices can match the rapid motion that happens the moment a headset goes on.
- Automated 2-axis rotation of a tracked target
- Measures application interpretation versus actual activity
- Surfaces predictive-buffering errors and latency outliers
- Validates tracking accuracy across rapid, real-world motion
Custom Peripherals for Immersive Products
Leveraging cutting-edge technologies and user-centered design principles, we help push the boundaries of what's possible in AR and VR. Recent work includes a custom motion-capture controller for a VR baseball experience.
Haptic Design & Integration
Haptic feedback hardware and firmware tuned for the responsiveness immersive products demand.
Power Management
Battery, charge, and thermal design for peripherals that need to last a session without heating up.
Sensor Fusion Development
Multi-sensor integration and algorithm work to turn raw IMU and optical data into clean user motion.
Wireless Connectivity
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth integration for peripherals, including certification prep and range validation.
Multi-Device Synchronization
Sync peripherals across headset, companion device, and PC without the drift that breaks immersion.
Spatial Audio Solutions
Positional audio tuning for AR and VR products, leveraging our broader audio lab and tools.
