The product is powered by Qualcomm\u2019s Snapdragon XR2 Plus Gen 2 Platform, which boosts the graphics-processing frequency by 15 per cent compared with its predecessor for crisp visuals and less jitter, according to the company.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">The headset also offers two strap options: a solo knit band and a dual-loop band.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">For now, the unit only works with certain Vivo phones and with computers running Windows 10 or later versions for screen projections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chinese smartphone maker Vivo unveiled a mixed-reality headset that resembles Apple\u2019s Vision Pro in name, design and interface,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19369,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[311,5926,9451,1793,381,18,16905,6608,5218,19,17,16902,16904,2792,10522,12275,82,107,286,16903,16899,16900,288,16901],"class_list":{"0":"post-19368","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-ar","10":"tag-augmented-reality","11":"tag-beijing","12":"tag-china","13":"tag-eire","14":"tag-hainan-province","15":"tag-headset","16":"tag-huawei","17":"tag-ie","18":"tag-ireland","19":"tag-mixed-reality","20":"tag-mixed-reality-headset","21":"tag-shanghai","22":"tag-shenzhen","23":"tag-smartphone","24":"tag-technology","25":"tag-us","26":"tag-virtual-reality","27":"tag-vision-pro","28":"tag-vivo","29":"tag-vivo-vision","30":"tag-vr","31":"tag-xr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19368\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
