Varjo Releases its Highest-Fidelity VR Headset

Varjo has launched Varjo Aero, the company’s newest virtual reality (VR) device in its portfolio. The headset expands the company's reach beyond its traditional enterprise customer base to also advanced VR users like flight simulator enthusiasts. Varjo Aero features true-to-life, edge-to-edge clarity across 115 degrees field of view.

With a resolution of 35 pixels per degree, Varjo Aero offers an immersive experience to both professionals and high-end VR enthusiasts alike. Its advanced ergonomics and significantly reduced weight make it the lightest headset from Varjo to date. The headset features professional-grade mini LED displays, color tuning, contrast levels, and crystal clear aspheric variable resolution lenses. In addition, its built-in eye tracking powers not just interaction and analytics, but also foveated rendering that further reduces compute requirements and enables a crystal clear resolution. The lower PC hardware requirements of Varjo Aero enable more scalable deployments and various multi-user experiences, including flight and racing simulations, enterprise training scenarios, design and creative use-cases, as well as delivering immersive experiences in showrooms, museums and virtual arcades.

Varjo Aero also integrates with the company’s recently launched Varjo Reality Cloud service and will fully support virtual collaboration immediately with early access to the platform’s VR teleportation software. Additional functionality, such as content streaming from the cloud, will be supported in steps when Varjo Reality Cloud becomes generally available.

The first customer shipments of Varjo Aero will begin by the end of 2021.
