'''Immersed Visor''' is a [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]] that has been announced but not yet released.
The '''Immersed Visor''' is an ultra-lightweight [[virtual reality]] and [[mixed reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Immersed Inc.]], announced in 2023 with preorders starting at $950 (retail $1,050) and mass production expected after Summer 2025. Positioned as "the pro VR headset the Apple Vision Pro is pretending to be," the Visor targets productivity-focused users with its remarkably compact 186-gram weight (compared to 515g for Quest 3 and 650g for Vision Pro), dual micro-OLED displays delivering 4K resolution per eye (claimed to have four million more pixels than Apple Vision Pro), a 100° field of view, and Vision Pro-style gaze-and-pinch input through integrated eye and hand tracking. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chipset (a higher-performance variant of XR2 Gen 2), the Visor supports standalone operation as well as wired and wireless connectivity to Windows, macOS, and Linux computers—a unique triple-platform compatibility designed for Immersed's virtual workspace software. The headset features six cameras for tracking and color passthrough, an external battery pack (with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antenna) providing 3 hours of standalone use, and a capacitive touch sensor enabling the "Smart Touch" feature for triggering the "Curator" AI assistant. With its productivity-first design philosophy and ultra-lightweight form factor, the Visor represents an ambitious attempt to create a professional VR workspace device.

The Immersed Visor is an ultra-lightweight virtual reality and mixed reality head-mounted display developed by Immersed Inc., announced in 2023 with preorders starting at $950 (retail $1,050) and mass production expected after Summer 2025. Positioned as "the pro VR headset the Apple Vision Pro is pretending to be," the Visor targets productivity-focused users with its remarkably compact 186-gram weight (compared to 515g for Quest 3 and 650g for Vision Pro), dual micro-OLED displays delivering 4K resolution per eye (claimed to have four million more pixels than Apple Vision Pro), a 100° field of view, and Vision Pro-style gaze-and-pinch input through integrated eye and hand tracking. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chipset (a higher-performance variant of XR2 Gen 2), the Visor supports standalone operation as well as wired and wireless connectivity to Windows, macOS, and Linux computers—a unique triple-platform compatibility designed for Immersed's virtual workspace software. The headset features six cameras for tracking and color passthrough, an external battery pack (with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antenna) providing 3 hours of standalone use, and a capacitive touch sensor enabling the "Smart Touch" feature for triggering the "Curator" AI assistant. With its productivity-first design philosophy and ultra-lightweight form factor, the Visor represents an ambitious attempt to create a professional VR workspace device.
