The LUCI Immers is a personal cinema head-mounted display developed by LUCI, released in 2020 at approximately $600. Marketed as a premium personal theater experience, the LUCI Immers features dual 0.7-inch micro-OLED displays with an exceptional 3147 PPI (pixels per inch) providing a combined 3840 × 1080 resolution (1920 × 1080 per eye), delivering the visual equivalent of a 1,023-inch screen viewed from 20 meters—similar to a movie theater experience. The micro-OLED technology provides 114% sRGB color accuracy, a 70° field of view, and the characteristic OLED benefits of deep blacks, high contrast, and ultra-fast pixel response for minimal motion blur. The lightweight headset weighs just 180g (6.35 oz), features a 4-lens coated optical system per eye with 55-72mm IPD adjustment, and connects via USB 3.0, USB-C, or HDMI to virtually any video source including PC, Mac, iPhone, Android phones, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Blu-ray players, and tablets. The LUCI Home content platform supports 2D, 3D, 4K, 8K, and 360-degree content across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.
