It is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm processor. The front will also feature a large glass visor, while a thick headband at the back ensures a secure fit - both elements reminiscent of the Apple Vision Pro. Notably, the right arm will house a rotating dial at the top, accompanied by two buttons below it.

According to Han, Vivo has also set up an MR experience zone, where attendees were able to try out the headset and came away impressed by three key innovations the company has implemented.

Conclusion

The introduction of the Vivo Vision comes at a time when several tech giants are also exploring mixed reality technologies. Companies like Apple and Meta have already made strides in this field, indicating a competitive market landscape for Vivo's upcoming product.

Despite the competition, Vivo's entry into the mixed reality space could diversify its product portfolio significantly. By venturing into this emerging market, Vivo aims to establish itself as a key player in the realm of AR and VR technologies.

The pricing strategy for the Vivo Vision remains unclear at this stage. However, competitive pricing could be crucial in attracting consumers who are considering similar products from established brands. The success of this headset could potentially influence future developments in mixed reality technology within China and beyond.
