This professional VR headset is used by pilots in the US Airforce for training! - Yanko Design

There are only a scattering of professional person VR headsets available in the marketplace today for industrial applications but, the but one to receive a Ruby-red Dot Award for its design is Czech business firm, VRgineer Inc.'s XTAL. Designed by Stedina Blueprint Studio, the XTAL is an enterprise grade VR headset made for professionals in the automotive, architecture, industrial design, and training sectors.

The latest version of XTAL, showcased at CES 2020, comes with a host of technical upgrades. Most significant of which are the high density LCDs with 4k resolution per eye (making a total of 8k horizontally) giving a crystal clear view assisted by foveated rendering capabilities, improved lenses with a 180 degree field of view, and eye-tracking capable of running at 210 fps. That'due south not all. It comes with an embedded Ultraleap manus-tracking sensor and conveniently connects to a PC via a VirtualLink cable. Oh, and did I mention that you can become an AR mixed reality module as an add-on? Pretty crawly, don't yous think? And so impressive that the US Airforce has already placed an order for the latest headsets to train their pilots in simulations. The people at VRgineers have fifty-fifty designed a helmet-mountable version for such cases.

And that blueprint! That ultra-cool futuristic pattern! The inspiration behind those faceted triangular motifs also every bit the proper name of the product comes from – crystal structures made up of triangular grids – which are the cadre of computer graphics as well as virtual reality. XTAL stands for crystal glasses just like Xmas stands for Christmas, with both bringing cheer everywhere!
