Overview

  • Han Boxiao, Vivo’s product manager, announced on Weibo that the Vivo Vision mixed-reality headset is in active development and introduced an internal MR experience zone for select personnel.
  • Early testers reported the headset felt notably light at the front and comfortable to wear, likening its stability to the AirPods Max and improving on criticisms of Apple’s Vision Pro.
  • Shared photos and videos show the device using multiple front-facing cameras for hand-tracking controls and featuring an external battery pack to lower on-head weight.
  • Details on processing hardware, display quality and pricing remain unconfirmed as claims of a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip and a much lower price point than the Vision Pro come from an unverified insider.
  • Vivo is preparing a press conference with a possible year-end unveiling window but has yet to announce official specs, pricing or a launch date.
