Ximmerse Rhino X Pro is an augmented reality head-mounted display released in 2022. It was developed by the Chinese company Ximmerse (燧光), which markets it as a standalone mixed reality headset for industry and education.[1][2][3] Ximmerse announced the headset on 30 November 2022 as the first update to the original Rhino X, which it had introduced in 2019.[3]
The Rhino X Pro uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 processor and two 2.89-inch LCD panels with a combined resolution of 4320 x 2160 pixels. Its field of view is 70 degrees horizontal and 57 degrees vertical. Compared with the first model, it adds hand gesture recognition, and it comes with two ring-shaped controllers.[4][5]
Announcement and release
Background
Ximmerse is based in Guangzhou. Its company profile states that it was founded in 2015, and its website footer gives the legal name Guangdong Virtual Reality Technology Co., Ltd. (广东虚拟现实科技有限公司).[6] Before it made its own headsets, the company supplied some of the technology used in the Lenovo Mirage AR headset from the Star Wars: Jedi Challenges playset.[7]
The original Rhino X was previewed at Mobile World Congress Shanghai in June 2019. Next Reality reported that it ran on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset, reflected images from an integrated display panel onto a transparent visor, had a vertical field of view of 57 degrees, and used swappable battery modules. The Rhino X anchored virtual content with a marker-based system, in which sensors on the headset read markers printed on anchor objects.[7]
In an August 2022 profile and interview, VR Tuoluo described the Rhino X as a large headset with a 70 by 57 degree field of view and a conventional freeform optical design, and wrote that Ximmerse had put field of view ahead of light weight. Ximmerse chief executive He Jie (贺杰) told the outlet that this followed from the company's applications. He said those applications needed a large field of view and that only freeform optics could provide it, while birdbath and waveguide designs could not yet do so.[8]
Announcement
He Jie briefly showed the Rhino X Pro and a Rhino X 2.0 at Ximmerse's first Infinite·X partner salon in Shenzhen on 2 July 2022. According to VR Tuoluo, both were due on the market in the third or fourth quarter of 2022, with upgrades to resolution, field of view and interaction.[8]
Ximmerse announced the Rhino X Pro on 30 November 2022.[3] In its announcement, the company said the Pro keeps the large field of view of the first model and increases sharpness. It also said the headset is meant to bring industry metaverse applications to users through its Xingkong (醒空) system.[1][5]
Ximmerse has not published a retail price for the Rhino X Pro on its product pages. Its product page offers a pre-sales inquiry form instead.[2]
Design and hardware
Processor and memory
Ximmerse lists the processor as a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 with an eight-core CPU running at up to 2.84 GHz, and describes the platform as a 7 nm chip. According to the company, rendering is smoother and spatial positioning more accurate than on the previous generation.[2][4] The headset has 8 GB of memory and comes with 128 GB or 256 GB of storage.[4]
Display and optics
The headset has two 2.89-inch LCD screens with a combined resolution of 4320 x 2160 pixels, which Ximmerse markets as "4K" resolution. The company gives a response time of 5.5 ms and says this reduces smearing when the wearer turns quickly.[2][1] The field of view is 57 degrees vertical and 70 degrees horizontal.[4]
The lens assembly is detachable and attaches magnetically, so it can be separated from the headset body. Ximmerse gives its weight as 52 g, out of a total of 635 g; the headset itself weighs 583 g.[2][4]
Tracking and input
Ximmerse states that the headset and its controllers are tracked in six degrees of freedom.[4] Two ring-shaped controllers come as standard. Their tracking algorithms are accelerated in hardware by an FPGA coprocessor, which Ximmerse says makes interaction more precise, stable and low in latency.[2][3] The Rhino X Pro also adds hand gesture recognition. Ximmerse describes gestures as a more intuitive way to handle simple interactions and the controllers as the option for complex ones.[1][5]
Battery and fit
The 3680 mAh battery is removable and supports hot swapping.[4] The head mount has a stepless adjustment frame that Ximmerse says fits both adults and children, and a Y-shaped top strap was added to make the headset more stable on the head.[2][1]
Software and features
The Rhino X Pro runs Android 10.0, according to Ximmerse's specification page.[4] It supports standard Miracast wireless screen casting, which Ximmerse offers for sharing and live broadcasting of mixed reality views, as well as wired streaming of content to the headset.[2][3]
For developers, Ximmerse lists a Unity XR SDK, a native C++ SDK and an Unreal SDK, so applications can be built with Unity or Unreal Engine as well as natively.[2]
The headset is part of Ximmerse's Xingkong system. VR Tuoluo described that system in 2022 as a stack running from terminal hardware and accessories through base software to systems and applications. Its four systems covered MR edge rendering, multi-user interaction in large spaces, custom interaction and MR live broadcasting, with the Rhino X series as the headset hardware.[8] Ximmerse's website groups its applications under education and training, science education and cultural tourism, emergency safety, and a cloud ecosystem.[2]
Current status
As of September 2026, Ximmerse's website still lists the Rhino X Pro, together with the original Rhino X, under its mixed reality systems and interaction terminals. The company now describes itself as a provider of digital training systems.[2][6] A separate headset, the Rhino X2, was entered in VR Tuoluo's 8th Golden Gyro Awards in 2023; the entry described it as the most highly integrated mixed reality interaction terminal in the industry.[9]
