”The Resolution Revolution is on” – Varjo™
Varjo is revolutionizing immersive computing with the world’s most advanced professional VR/XR products.
Varjo VR–1: The only human-eye resolution headset
VR-1 is the world’s only human-eye resolution headset. Designed for use in complex and demanding industries, it comes with the world’s most advanced integrated eye tracking technology and is compatible with the most popular 3D software tools. VR-1 can also be used by people with glasses.
Varjo’s Bionic Display™ makes VR-1 the world’s only VR device with human-eye resolution
Designed for use in complex and demanding industries, VR-1 also features the world’s most advanced eye tracking technology and is compatible with the most popular 3D software tools.
The resolution of other VR devices on the market is around 1/100 of what the average human eye can see. With resolution that poor, it’s been impossible for professionals to work with VR in fields where extreme precision and visual fidelity are required. Now, Varjo’s Bionic Display™ delivers an unprecedented resolution of 60 pixels per degree – the equivalent of 20/20 vision.
Integrated Varjo 20/20 Eye Tracker™ optimized for human-eye resolution fidelity
Varjo’s 20/20 Eye Tracker™, is the most advanced stereo eye tracking technology ever integrated into a VR headset, delivering unmatched accuracy and precision.
Running at a speed of 100hz, delivering accuracy below one degree, and custom made to work seamlessly with Varjo’s Bionic Display™, the 20/20 Eye Tracker™ is the world’s only eye tracker that’s optimized to track and analyze eye movements in true-to-life human-eye resolution VR.
The true power of the 20/20 Eye Tracker™ is how easy and powerful it is for developers to use. Unlike other eye trackers, the 20/20 Eye Tracker™ API can easily be used with existing solutions, and we also offer plug-ins and example code for the Unity® and Unreal® engines.
”Unmatched features” – Varjo
VR-1 comes with the highest-end features, made without compromises – from light, optical fiber cabling and active airflow to incredibly accurate, integrated eye tracking and more:
- Interchangeable front plate
Mirror-coated detachable front plate that makes VR-1 upgradeable with a Mixed Reality Add-on, launching later this year. When available, users of VR-1 can replace the front plate of VR-1 with Varjo’s video see-through XR add-on. - Active airflow
Built-in active cooling system, enabling comfortable use even for extended periods of time. - Tracking
Works with existing SteamVR™ base stations (1.0 and 2.0), also compatible with ART tracking technology. Please note that Varjo VR-1 isn’t currently compatible with Steam VR™ content or the Steam VR™ store. - Optical fiber cabling
Thin and light optical fiber cables of 10-meter length with USB-C, allowing users to move freely while wearing the headset. - Automatic IPD
Enables fast and easy calibration and high accuracy for eye tracking. - Human-eye resolution Bionic Display™
Resolution equal to 20/20 vision (over 60 PPD), combining 1920×1080 low persistence micro-OLED and 1440×1600 low persistence AMOLED displays. - Light Fusion Optics
Dual lens design combines refractive index lenses for minimal reflections, color aberrations and zero ghost rays. Surface coatings maximize the brightness and clarity of the light fusion needed to achieve human-eye resolution. - 20/20 Eye Tracker™
World’s most powerful integrated eye tracking technology, with sub-degree accuracy, superior precision, and ability to track eye movements in true-to-life human-eye resolution VR. - Headphone connector
3mm headphone connector supports custom audio solutions and headphones of your choice. - Replaceable face mask & cushions
Comfortable design with two different sized, easily replaceable large and standard face cushions, can be used with glasses. - Adjustable headband
Comfortable for all head shapes and sizes, intuitive adjustment mechanism and balanced fit.
