Varjo XR-1 Developer Edition: See your design changes in real time.

See completely realistic representations of un-built work.

Design real-world or virtual objects in a completely immersive environment, testing and developing your designs as you go. With Varjo, every detail, shape, shadow and color come into true-to-life focus.

Varjo VR-2, VR-2 Pro and XR-1 Developer Edition are the only HMDs that allow industrial design, modelling and prototyping processes to be moved to photorealistic VR/XR, allowing you to alter and evaluate what you’re working on in real time on as you go.

Application areas include:

Design reviews

Make your design reviews faster and smoother with Varjo’s virtual and mixed reality products. Visualise and explore the exterior and interior of your design in human-eye resolution VR/XR. Bring your virtual sketches into reality and see the changes you make in real time.

Human-machine interface design

Design and test your HMIs with Varjo at a fraction of the cost of building physical prototypes. Test your vehicle designs by performing realistic user studies, such as virtual test drives, and implement changes quickly and cost-efficiently.

Digital factory

Move your layout and assembly planning to human-eye resolution virtual reality. Create photorealistic digital twins and improve quality assurance by ensuring early on that your 3D models and reality are a match.

Virtual showrooms

Showcase your high-value products inside flagship stores, showrooms, fairs and events in photorealistic visual quality. Use Varjo’s VR/XR to create a truly immersive marketing or sales experience even for very large or demanding offerings.

Explore everything from the big picture to the tiniest detail.

Whether designing a car, a piece of furniture, an industrial object, an architectural project or more, the ability to see the big picture and every detail is key.

Varjo ensures that everything from large surfaces to how materials interact in natural light to even the tiniest texts appear just as clearly in VR/XR as they do in the real world.

When creating with Varjo, you’ll see every detail, color, surface and contour come to life in human-eye resolution.

Faster, smoother design reviews.

Getting feedback on in-progress work is a core part of the industrial design process. Iterations with clients and others involved in a project take a lot of time, effort and money. And when changes need to be made, it takes time and significant effort to modify.

With Varjo’s devices, everyone involved in a project can not only see but truly experience designs before they’re built – in true-to-life VR/XR. This shortens development times, streamlines production pipelines and allows designers to create braver and bolder products.

Case Kia: Immersive collaboration in car design

Kia Motors has always been an industry leader when it comes to implementing new and innovative tech in their design process. Now, with Varjo XR-1 supported by Autodesk VRED, Kia’s visualization process can move to a totally immersive photorealistic environment. And that means global design reviews can go from days to an hour.

Virtualize the industrial design workflow.

Industrial design and development has traditionally been all about viewing 3D renders on 2D screens, or building prototypes that look and feel as real as possible. By moving the design, modelling and construction processes to true-to-life virtual and mixed reality, Varjo gives you the freedom to take more risks and try new things.

Varjo VR-2 and VR-2 Pro are compatible with a fast-growing collection of 3D applications, now including SteamVR content. For developing your own mixed reality applications with Varjo XR-1 Developer Edition, we offer a native SDK and plugins for Unity® and Unreal®.

The most accurate eye tracking the world has ever seen.

Varjo’s 20/20 Eye Tracker™ is the most advanced and powerful stereo eye tracking technology ever integrated into a VR or XR 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.
