'''Huawei VR Glass''' is a [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]] released in 2019.
The '''Huawei VR Glass''' is an ultra-thin tethered [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Huawei]], announced in September 2019 and released in December 2019 at ¥2,999 (approximately $424). Huawei's flagship VR headset stands out for its remarkably slim form factor—just 26.6mm thick—and lightweight design at only 166 grams, achieved through innovative optical engineering and a tethered architecture that offloads processing to a compatible Huawei/Honor smartphone or PC. The headset features dual 2.1-inch Fast LCD displays with 3200 × 1600 resolution (3K, 1058 PPI), a 90° field of view, and variable refresh rates of 70Hz (smartphone) or 90Hz (PC connection). The IMAX-certified headset includes built-in diopter adjustment from 0-700 degrees myopia (eliminating glasses for many nearsighted users), 55-71mm IPD adjustment, integrated 3D spatial audio, and a foldable design with travel case. In October 2020, Huawei expanded the platform with the VR Glass 6DoF Game Set, adding inside-out positional tracking and 360-degree joystick controllers for room-scale VR gaming.
