Varjo XR-1 was the company’s flagship mixed reality headset (until recently superseded by XR-3). It uses advanced technology to provide a superior visual fidelity that the company is calling “human eye resolution visual experience”. The headset is equipped with a mixed reality camera making it possible to use the headset for high-fidelity AR applications. It also has integrated gaze tracking. The device is compatible with SteamVR and as such HTC Vive lighthouses, motion controllers and trackers can be used with the headset. In mixed reality mode, markers can be used to insert virtual objects into the surrounding environment. It should be emphasized that these features come at a hefty price tag; the device also requires a powerful desktop computer to operate properly: at the time of writing, the recommended desktop specifications include native Thunderbolt 3 support and an Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti graphics card. The user should consult Varjo’s website for updated specifications.
