Convertible standalone/PC-tethered mixed-reality headset with pancake lenses and a detachable battery cradle for a glasses-style form factor.
Each eye gets a 1920x1920 resolution at a 90 Hz refresh rate, viewed through pancake lenses with a field of view of around 110°. Pancake optics allow a much slimmer front section than traditional lens designs, and the per-eye resolution delivers crisp text and detailed virtual environments.
At 625 g, the headset aims for comfort during longer sessions. Its standout design feature is the detachable battery cradle: keep it attached for fully wireless standalone use, or remove it to switch to a compact, glasses-style form factor. This flexibility makes it suitable for a range of use cases, from independent sessions to PC-tethered setups.
Wireless connectivity is modern, with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. The USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, providing a wired link to a PC for desktop VR content.
The headset runs Vive OS, an Android-based operating system that gives access to standalone mixed-reality apps and experiences, while the PC link opens the door to the wider desktop VR ecosystem.
Ideal for: VR enthusiasts who want a single headset for both standalone mixed reality and PC VR, users who value a slim, glasses-style design with pancake lenses, and anyone looking for a high-resolution headset with plenty of memory.
