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.
