With Varjo VR-2, the Boeing Starliner space program has unlocked an entirely new way for astronauts to prepare for spaceflight. Varjo allows astronaut training – from pre-launch to docking to landing – entirely in VR for the first time.
The Varjo VR-2 headset provides a clear, human-eye resolution system so that the crew can read instruments from a normal distance, which vital to effective astronaut training.
Resolution is key when it comes to using VR in the most demanding industrial settings. With human-eye resolution of over 60 PPD, plus improved peripheral vision and color consistency, VR-2’s Bionic Display delivers pixel-perfect clarity and the most natural visual experience for exploring and interacting with high-resolution 3D models and simulations.
By delivering the world’s only VR with human-eye resolution, Varjo allows professionals to create and interact with true-to-life VR prototypes.
These are unedited, shot-through images of Autodesk VRED software. On the right, you can explore the tiniest details, thanks to the human-eye resolution (over 60 PPD) in Varjo's headset.
In addition to compatibility with the most popular 3D software, Varjo VR-2 and VR-2 Pro are the only devices on the market that support SteamVR content and the OpenVR development platforms at ultra-high resolution (up to 40 PPD / 4K rendering per eye).
Varjo’s unmatched visual fidelity supercharges SteamVR applications, giving quick and easy access to hundreds of professional applications for research, analytics, training and simulation, industrial design and more.
With Varjo's ultra-high resolution support for SteamVR and OpenVR content, the visual fidelity is crystal-clear in the professional applications. These are unedited pictures shot through a competitor device and Varjo when using the DCS World simulator.
With Varjo, you see the tiniest details near and far, and every color, surface and contour are just as clear as they are in the real world.
Varjo’s 20/20 Eye Tracker™ is the most advanced and powerful stereo eye tracking technology ever integrated into a VR headset.
Now with even faster and more accurate calibration performance, 20/20 Tracker™ gives you never-before-seen access to precise eye data for use in research, analytics, training and simulation, industrial design, and more.
20/20 Eye Tracker™ is optimized for data analytics and user interactions in the most demanding professional environments. And it works just as precisely and accurately even when worn with glasses.
