With a privacy-focused approach (no Facebook account required) and open SDK, the Lynx R1 targets developers and enterprises seeking an independent mixed reality platform.
The '''Lynx R1''' is a [[standalone]] [[virtual reality]] and [[mixed reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by French startup [[Lynx Mixed Reality]]. Announced on February 3, 2020, and released between November 2022 and 2023, it was the first standalone headset designed from the ground up to support both [[virtual reality]] (VR) and [[augmented reality]] (AR) experiences through video [[passthrough]].<ref name="lynx-website"></ref> The device features a unique optical system using 4-fold catadioptric freeform prisms, allowing for a more compact design compared to traditional [[Fresnel lens]]-based headsets.<ref name="roadtovr-optics"/>


== History and Development ==
==History==
===Development===
[[Lynx Mixed Reality]] was founded in 2019 by [[Stan Larroque]], who discovered the field of VR/AR in late 2016 while using an [[Oculus Rift|Oculus DK2]] at his school.<ref name="stan-blog"></ref> The company started with a team of 15 people with various backgrounds ranging from designers to electronics engineers.<ref name="lynx-about"></ref>


Lynx Mixed Reality launched a successful Kickstarter campaign raising over $800,000 to fund development of the R1. The French company focused on creating an independent MR platform with data sovereignty as a core principle. The R1's unique 4-fold catadioptric optics enable simultaneous AR and VR modes in a compact form factor, representing a novel approach to mixed reality hardware. The headset is available as a Development Kit ($849) and Enterprise Edition ($1,299) with additional support.<ref name="lynx">{{cite web |url=https://www.lynx-r.com/ |title=Lynx R1 Mixed Reality |publisher=Lynx Mixed Reality |access-date=2025-01-07}}</ref>
The Lynx R1 was first publicly revealed at the [[SPIE Photonics West]] conference in San Francisco on February 3, 2020, where Larroque presented the headset's unique optical approach during an online presentation.<ref name="roadtovr-optics"/> Initially positioned primarily for enterprise applications with a planned price of $1,500, the device was set to ship in summer 2020 with pre-orders available for a $150 down payment.<ref name="roadtovr-optics"/>


== Design and Hardware ==
===Kickstarter Campaign===
In October 2021, Lynx launched a [[Kickstarter]] campaign for the R1 headset, pivoting toward a wider consumer audience and removing the originally planned [[eye tracking]] feature to reduce costs. The campaign was highly successful, reaching its funding goal in under 15 hours and ultimately raising €725,281 (approximately $835,000) from 1,216 backers.<ref name="roadtovr-kickstarter"></ref> The Kickstarter offered different tiers, with the consumer version starting at €530 ($500 without European VAT) and the Professional Edition at €950 ($900 without VAT).<ref name="roadtovr-kickstarter"/> Backers could opt for a Limited Edition version featuring a transparent front faceplate.<ref name="kickstarter-campaign"></ref>


=== Display ===
===Production and Delays===
Following multiple pandemic-related supply chain delays, production began at contract manufacturer [[Compal]] in mid-2023.<ref name="uploadvr-production"></ref> The first certified retail units shipped to Kickstarter backers on November 18, 2022, with general availability following in 2023.<ref name="vrexpert-launch"/>


Innovative dual displays:
===Funding and Investment===
In May 2022, Lynx announced it had secured $4 million in Series A funding led by [[Somnium Space]], a social VR platform company. This funding round aimed to help establish Lynx as the "European Champion of Mixed Reality."<ref name="roadtovr-series-a"></ref>


* '''1600x1600 per eye''' resolution
==Technical Specifications==
* '''Dual LCD displays'''
===Display and Optics===
* '''90 Hz refresh rate'''
The Lynx R1 uses two [[LCD]] displays, each with a resolution of 1600×1600 pixels per eye, running at a 90 Hz refresh rate.<ref name="vrcompare"/> The headset's most distinctive feature is its optical system, which employs 4-fold catadioptric freeform prisms instead of traditional [[Fresnel lens]]es.<ref name="roadtovr-optics"/> This innovative lens design allows the displays to sit flush with the lenses, creating a more compact form factor than conventional VR headsets and enabling the characteristic flip-up visor design.<ref name="roadtovr-optics"/>
* '''90° circular FOV'''
* AR and VR capable
* Same optical system for both modes


=== Optics ===
The [[field of view]] is 90 degrees in a circular shape, providing approximately 18 pixels per degree (PPD), which is comparable to the [[Meta Quest 2]] but smaller than some competing headsets like the [[Meta Quest 3]].<ref name="xrtoday"/> The unique optical design overlaps portions of the image, which the company claims provides "supersampling" in those regions to reduce the [[screen door effect]].<ref name="roadtovr-optics"/>
