Shiftall, the Japan-based VR hardware startup, is no longer working with Panasonic on its MeganeX series of thin and light PC VR headsets.<\/p>\n

Initially acquired by Panasonic in 2018, Shiftall developed a number of devices as the company\u2019s ad hoc internal skunk works, including the first MeganeX PC VR headset,\u00a0HaritoraX wireless body trackers, FlipVR motion controllers, and mutalk soundproof microphones.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0Panasonic sold off Shiftall<\/a>\u00a0in early 2024, the companies continued to collaborate on the MeganeX headset series.<\/p>\n

Now, according to a Shiftall press statement<\/a> (via Mogura<\/a>), Panasonic is officially no longer involved with development of MeganeX as of December 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result, Panasonic will transfer the MeganeX series business assets to Shiftall,\u201d the company says, machine translated from Japanese. \u201cAnd from 2026 onwards, Shiftall will continue to develop, sell and provide customer support (for both businesses and individuals) for the MeganeX series.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shiftall\u2019s latest PC VR headset is the MeganeX \u201c8K\u201d Mark II, a follow-up to its thin and light PC VR headset originally launched late last year, the\u00a0MeganeX superlight \u201c8K\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

MeganeX \u201c8K\u201d Mark II contains the same 3,552 \u00d7 3,840 per-eye micro-OLEDs as superlight, supporting up to 90 Hz refresh, and the same SteamVR tracking standard, which requires the user to buy SteamVR 1.0\/2.0 base stations separately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shiftall, the Japan-based VR hardware startup, is no longer working with Panasonic on its MeganeX series of thin…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":126182,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[260],"tags":[18,19,17,82,286,287,288],"class_list":{"0":"post-274228","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-technology","12":"tag-virtual-reality","13":"tag-virtualreality","14":"tag-vr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115860028964126742","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274228","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=274228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274228\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
