Vivo Vision mixed reality headset is launching soon

Vivo Vision, which was first showcased at the Boao Forum for Asia, is finally approaching its official launch. This Apple Vision Pro competition has a strikingly familiar design, although the company says its challenger will be a lot more comfortable and “addictive”.

What is the Vivo Vision?

A familiar design    

The Vivo Vision is a mixed reality (MR) headset that — as mentioned before — looks almost identical to Apple’s Vision Pro. Its grey fabric facial interface, rear strap, external battery, and connector look almost identical.

The only notable difference is the side arms of the headset, which appear to be shiny with a metallic finish.

Vivo’s Product Manager, Han Boxiao, highlighted key impressions from his experience with this device. He claimed that the Vivo Vision felt extremely light and compared its comfort to wearing AirPods Max over-ear headphones.

Although the details remain undisclosed, they are likely to be around 350 to 400 grams when it launches. Which would make it a lot more lightweight than the Vision Pro (600 – 650 grams).

Functionality 

Till now, Vivo has not released the technical specifications of its first mixed reality headset or what it can do. Since only a handful of people inside the company have had the opportunity to test it. Alongside CCTV (China Central Television) host Zhu Guangquan, who got to try it out as well.

And based on that demo, we know that the Vivo Vision will have similar gesture controls as the Vision Pro. While it seems this mixed reality headset will have a separate battery puck as well.
