For FUSION and RADI, the first major software release of 2022 is out. In this release, OptoFidelity has focused on performance by reducing test cycle time in functional testing of smartphones.

In this release 0.3-566, we have bundled together all optimization and performance improvements that were developed and implemented during the Q4 of 2021.

After enabling all optimizations in this release, the full test run duration is reduced on average by 21 seconds and is now 10% faster than before.

What has been optimized:

• Motion sensors test
  • Robot movements and test positions are optimized based on gathered data for faster analysis.
• Display tests
  • By default, the test captures only white image. More colours will be captured if some of the following analyses are enabled:
    • Backlight leakage analysis. Adds blue image to be captured.
    • Hot line analysis. Adds red image
    • Hot pixel analysis. Adds red image.
    • Frame analysis. Adds green image.
  • Optimize image exposure sequence.
• Speaker test
  • Moved to use single test tone for all Speaker test analyses to reduce test cycle time.
• Gimbal homing at interval
  • Allows to set home gimbal only after every defined N^th test run.

OptoFidelity is a recognized pioneer in test automation. Our human-like robot-assisted technology platforms are widely used in product development, production and quality assurance.

更自由更精准的测试平台

Finnish publication "Tekniikka & talous" wrote an article about OptoFidelity's and Futuremark's synergy and cooperation in virtual reality testing.

Virtual reality and groovy devices are billowing the markets like a tsunami, but let’s face it - there is still a lot to do for creating a great VR user experience. Poor device performance affects the quality of the VR experience. Especially bad latency, specifically motion-to-photon, leads to poor virtual reality experience and even disorientation, motion sickness and nausea.

又到每年世界技术精英云集巴塞罗纳的时刻了。我们今年也会参展并发布两项最新的测试解决方案。由于虚拟现实是当今最热的主题，我们将介绍一款具有革命意义的高清HMD（头戴式可是设备）测试仪，用于虚拟现实和增强现实的性能测试。用这种解决方案，您可以客观地重复地分析，如VR性能（运动到光子，像素持久性，刷新率和其它重要因素，甚至所谓的用于空间音频的运动到音频等待时间。

Would you care a summer with robots, nice colleagues and brand new cool working environment?

For this summer, we are looking for future SW talents to work at Opto. If you think you are the one or you know someone who is perfect for our multi skilled OptoTeam, please hint about our summer jobs to potential candidate.

It’s the time of the year the when all the tech lovers will gather in Barcelona. We'll be there too again and launch two new test solutions.

We are ready too and introducing the revolutionary Full HMD tester for Virtual and Augmented Reality Performance measurements. Optical HMD adaptation works with any Head Mounted Display. Based on OptoFidelity's proven VR Multimeter technology. VR Multimeter is capable of testing any VR/AR HMD. Check this  trailer and meet our coolest testing specialist Buddy.

Though the holidays are a time for celebration, many would be grateful for just another normal day.

Building a strong virtual reality user experience relies on conquering many challenges but the most important are temporal performance, latencies (specifically motion-to-photon also known as M2P), low motion blur characteristics on a display, update speed, and frame update speed. We wanted to know how the current VR devices are performing from this user experience perspective. This VR performance has not been publicly measured and compared until now.

构建强大的虚拟现实用户体验需要克服重重挑战，其中最重要的是克服时间性能、时间延迟（具体意义上，motion-to-photon也称为M2P）、显示屏上的慢镜头与模糊特征、更新速度以及帧更新速度。我们想要知道当前的（虚拟现实）VR设备如何从用户体验视角来操作。但是直到现在还未对这款VR设备性能进行公开测试、比较。

We have a positive problem of constant recruitment need for new development and learning oriented talents. At OptoFidelity you will work among innovative and passionate people who value teamwork and stimulating environment. We are committed and dedicated to our customers and company, which makes us go the extra mile or two (or ten) – every day.

November in Finland is generally considered a dark and dreary time of year, but for OptoFidelity the month has proven especially colorful this year. After all, November has brought us a number of entrepreneurial and technology awards, as well as public recognition here in our home field in Finland. The latest of these accolades was given yesterday, when OptoFidelity was awarded the Pirkanmaa Entrepreneurial Technology Award. Such awards are a welcome acknowledgement of our hard work while also highlighting the appreciation for Finnish exports and entrepreneurship. In addition to their inherent value, they also serve as an important symbol for the efforts of everyone working at OptoFidelity. Here on Hervanta's Visiokatu, we have succeeded in creating unique products that are competitive on the global market. This success has been made possible by the willingness of entrepreneurs to ”go boldly where no one has gone before” and take risks. Furthermore, every one of our nearly 100 employees has played a role in our success story by generating ideas, solving seemingly impossible challenges, at times working around the clock, questioning tried and tested methods, spending hundreds of days a year traveling around the globe, giving 110% even for routine work and believing in what we are doing.

Virtual reality is coming fast to our daily life. That settles new requirements for smart devices.  Poor VR performance affects the viewing experience and can even cause motion sickness and nausea. But no worries, we are ready to help to create better virtual reality experience.

We love to generate discussion about the development of smart devices, features and what that eternal evolution of products means for testing. Our remedy for breeding this dialogue is to carry out demo tests for real devices and publish the results. As a true tech geeks we are interested the performance of the devices itself. But we are also eager to show what kind of data our solutions can provide about the devices.  This time our passionate test technology expert Tommi explored the role of force sensing testing for smartphones and found some interesting results.

我们乐意就智能设备的发展、产品特点以及测试对产品永恒进化的意义等问题引发讨论。为此，我们对实体设备进行演示测试并公布结果。作为真正的科技迷，我们对设备的本身性能感兴趣。但同时也渴望展示我们的解决方案能够为设备提供什么样的数据。 这次，我们优秀的测试技术专家-托米探索了压力感应测试对智能手机的作用并发现了一些有趣的结果。

作为一家提供用户界面测试解决方案并在此繁荣市场上取得一席之位的公司，我们很荣幸被YLE News（芬兰国家公众广播电视）选为行业榜样进行了报道。点此阅读报道内容 （只有芬兰语版本）或观看视频直播。

Consuming of video has exploded. This has impact to consumer choices. Video playback performance has become one of the most important selection criteria for a smartphone.  No matter how good is the video content, a crappy video playback performance can ruin the whole message – or phone's user experience. How can you evaluate smartphone video playback performance? By trying to test it in a shop?

因观看视频业务呈爆炸式发展，因此，视频播放性能已成为智能手机的其中一个最重要的选择标准。不论视频内容如何精彩，只要视频播放性能糟糕，所有讯息——或者手机用户的使用体验就会毁之殆尽。

Toteutimme esimerkkiraportin videotoiston laadun mittaamisesta vertaamalla uusien iPhone 6 ja 6 Plus mallien videotoiston laatua ja äänen ja kuvan yhtäaikaisuutta (lip sync). Ominaisuudet mitattiin OptoFidelityn videtoiston laadun ja ääni-kuva synkronin mittaukseen tarkoitetulla  OptoFidelity Video Multimeter testilaitteella.

OptoFidelity’s test experts continued our case study measurement report series with lip sync measurement of new iPhone generation the 4.7” iPhone 6 and 5.5” iPhone 6 Plus. OptoFidelity tested the new iPhones about the video playback performance and audio-video synchronization by OptoFidelity Video Multimeter. Video Multimeter is easy to use, non-intrusive solution for measuring video playback performance.

OptoFidelityn videolaadun mittauksen expertti Kimmo testasi bluetooth-kaiuttimen äänen ja kuvan keskinäistä synkronointia eli lip sync -ominaisuutta Youtube-videota puhelimen kautta katsoessa. Tuloksena oli kaiuttimen häiritsevä ja kuulijan korvaan selkeästi erottuva äänen 120 ms etuaikaisuus kuvaan verrattuna.

Kimmo, OptoFidelity’s expert at measuring video quality, tested the audio to video synchronization, or lip sync capability, of a Bluetooth speaker when streaming a YouTube video on a phone. The result was that the audio was ahead of the video by 120 ms, which interfered with the viewing experience and was clearly noticeable to the viewer.
