The sharpest VR headset in the world is now available and offers human eye-resolution of more than 60 pixels per degree, which is about 20X higher than other VR headsets. Varjo’s VR-1 is designed for industrial designers, engineering and construction applications, as well as certain training and simulation use cases where fidelity is imperative.
The headset has a sticker price of nearly $6000 with an additional yearly service license of $995.
Given the difficulty companies like Oculus and Sony have had finding customer bases for task agnostic headsets, and with big players like Microsoft already staking flags across wide swaths of enterprise training and field service, Varjo’s decision to specialize with a high-market product for designers is smart.
