Varjo’s dual-resolution VR and AR headsets just got crisper and cheaper - The Verge

The VR-3 and XR-3 will ship in early 2021.

It’s promising even higher resolution, a wider field of view, and AR with advanced depth mapping.

The original Varjo screen (which it calls a “bionic display”) had a relatively narrow, boxy field of view, but the VR-3 and XR-3 have expanded that to offer a 115-degree horizontal FOV.

The XR-3 and VR-3 use the same screen, and both feature hand and eye tracking, as well as the same 90Hz refresh rate.

But the XR-3 also includes cameras and LIDAR sensors that turn it into an AR headset by combining virtual objects with a passthrough video feed.

With the screen resolution boost, higher field of view, and other features in place, it’s going to focus on scaling up deliveries and improving performance via software tweaks
