The team behind the revolutionary VR headset Visor knows exactly who their product is designed for: laptop users who crave the freedom to have large screens wherever they go. And we’re not talking just any screens, but massive 4K displays!
But here’s the best part: with the Immersed software, you can transform your computer into a virtual workstation with up to 5 monitors, all without needing any additional hardware! Immersive promises that their app will make you “Work Faster in VR Than in Real Life,” giving you a private workspace where you can hyperfocus for hours on end without any distractions. The only downside? You might end up with a sore neck from wearing a VR headset for too long.
Now, here’s the thing: most VR headsets on the market are still clunky and heavy, which doesn’t align with Immersive’s vision for their Immersed app. That’s why they’ve developed their own headset, Visor, in collaboration with a secret tech giant. The Visor is all about productivity, optimizing a product specifically for laptop users who want a portable, expansive working space. Check out the link to see the presentation.
The Visor headset is a game-changer. It’s 25% lighter than a smartphone, fits in the palm of your hand, and boasts a 100-degree field of view. Plus, it features two 4K Micro OLED screens that provide the same resolution as a conventional monitor. Renjy Bijoy, the founder and CEO of Immersed VR, emphasizes the importance of sharp screens, as they eliminate the need for a physical 4K screen in real life. With the Visor, you can take your workspace with you wherever you go!
Both a wired and wireless PC VR headset
The Visor offers the best of both worlds: it can be used as a wired or wireless PC VR headset. According to Bijoy, wired headsets are often underrated. Many premium wireless headsets on the market only offer about an hour and a half of battery life before needing to be plugged in. The Visor, on the other hand, is hardwired to your laptop, providing not only power but also lower latency and higher resolution. Immersive has found that many users of their Immersed app don’t mind being wired, as they primarily work at their desks.
The Immersive Visor gives you the best of both worlds: wired and wireless options. When you need to move around, simply unplug the device and use the passthrough mode. When you return, plug it back in. This PC VR headset is compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux, making it a versatile tool for laptop users looking to expand their desktop space virtually. During the announcement, Bijoy acknowledged that a large percentage of viewers would be watching on a laptop, which is why the Visor is tailored specifically for them.
Twice the field of view of AR glasses
The Visor isn’t your typical AR/VR headset for gaming or entertainment. It’s designed with professionals in mind, optimized specifically for work. While some may argue that AR glasses are the future, the Visor team begs to differ. They boast twice the field of view of AR glasses, allowing you to see multiple screens simultaneously. Plus, the Visor offers both AR and VR experiences, so you can fully immerse yourself and eliminate distractions when needed. And let’s not forget, the Visor runs Immersed, the most widely used AR/VR work application out there. Oh, and it tracks with 6 degrees of freedom to prevent any motion sickness.
The Immersive Visor is tailor-made for each user, from IPD to the face mask contour. It’s set to hit the market in 2024, but you can sign up for the waitlist now. While the price is still unknown, one thing’s for sure: it won’t be cheap. However, it’ll likely be more affordable than Apple’s offerings.
