The 'world's smallest VR headset' is finally shipping out pre-orders in the US
As someone who's recently become a VR convert, the one big complaint I (along with other VR users) have is how the headset's weight can keep me from gaming for long periods. Bigscreen aims to solve that problem by releasing Beyond, a pair of lightweight, compact VR glasses that look like sci-fi goggles straight out of Cyberpunk 2077. The Bigscreen Beyond only weighs 127 grams, which makes it nearly four times lighter than our favorite VR headset, the Meta Quest 2. Size-wise, the wired headset is only 143mm long and 52mm thick and can fit in the palm of your hand, at least according to the video above. The Beyond uses pancake lenses like the Meta Quest Pro, which provides the 3D effect of VR with less space. Behind them are a pair of MicroOLED displays with a total resolution of 5,120 x 2,560, or 2,560 x 2,560 per eye, at up to 90Hz refresh rate.
