The '''Huawei VR Glass''' is a [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Huawei]]. Released on December 19, 2019, the VR Glass features an ultra-thin foldable design at only 26.6mm thick and weighing just 166 grams, making it one of the lightest VR headsets available. The device won the World VR Industry Conference Innovation Gold Award in 2019 for its lightweight, portable design.<ref name="gizchina">{{cite web|url=https://www.gizchina.com/2019/12/15/huawei-vr-glass-light-foldable-vr-headset/|title=Huawei VR Glass Light & Foldable VR Headset Hitting the Market|publisher=Gizchina}}</ref>
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.

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.
