Varjo Technologies announced general availability for its XR-1 Developer Edition headset from I/ITSEC 2019. The photorealistic mixed reality developer device delivers unmatched visual fidelity, ultra-low latency and integrated eye tracking so that virtual content becomes indistinguishable from the real world. This means that for the first time, professional users can switch seamlessly between VR and mixed reality to create and interact with 3D immersive content while collaborating with others in real-life simultaneously.
Key XR-1 Developer Edition features include:
- Photorealistic video pass-through enables users to see digital objects in true-to-life color, lighting and shadows in a full field of view (87 degrees).
- The ability to switch between mixed reality and ‘full’ VR so users can interact with the real and the virtual world in one device for applications such as testing designs in different environments or manipulating their surroundings with pixel-perfect clarity.
- Industrial-grade 20/20 Eye Tracker delivers unmatched sub-degree accuracy of users’ eye movements in mixed reality scenarios for valuable insights into research, training and simulation and product design.
- Ultra-low latency imaging pipeline lets users experience the most realistic digital worlds as extensions of the natural environment without perceivable lag.
- Human-eye resolution Bionic Display (over 60 PPD/3,000 PPI) brings high visual fidelity to even the most demanding industrial scenarios where extreme precision and photorealistic accuracy is required.
