The [[Varjo VR-3]] is a professional [[PC-Powered VR|PC-powered]] [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]] announced on December 1, 2020, by [[Varjo|Varjo Technologies]]. Representing the third generation of Varjo's professional VR headsets, the VR-3 introduced significant improvements including a 115° field of view, 40% weight reduction, and resolution exceeding 70 pixels per degree in the focus area.<ref name="varjo-announcement" />


==History==
The '''Varjo VR-3''' is a professional [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Varjo]], released on December 1, 2020 at $3,195. Launched alongside the [[Varjo XR-3]], the VR-3 features Varjo's signature Bionic Display technology delivering human-eye resolution at 70 pixels per degree (PPD) in the focus area, industry-widest 115° field of view, 200 Hz eye tracking with sub-1° accuracy, Ultraleap Gemini hand tracking, and custom non-Fresnel lenses. The VR-3 represented a significant improvement over earlier Varjo models with 40% weight reduction, 33% wider FOV, and nearly 50% lower price.
The VR-3 was developed in response to customer feedback regarding the weight and limited field of view of previous Varjo headsets. Announced alongside the [[Varjo XR-3]] mixed reality headset, the VR-3 represented a complete redesign of Varjo's hardware platform while maintaining the company's focus on visual fidelity.<ref name="roadtovr" />
