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":371209,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3162],"tags":[1662,44689,27113,3801,1395,129884,46924,47584,5541,49103,10741,10743,3809,53,16,15,978,3243,41967,9398,121868,3244,101063],"class_list":{"0":"post-371208","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-ar","10":"tag-augmented-reality","11":"tag-beijing","12":"tag-china","13":"tag-hainan-province","14":"tag-headset","15":"tag-huawei","16":"tag-mixed-reality","17":"tag-mixed-reality-headset","18":"tag-shanghai","19":"tag-shenzhen","20":"tag-smartphone","21":"tag-technology","22":"tag-uk","23":"tag-united-kingdom","24":"tag-us","25":"tag-virtual-reality","26":"tag-vision-pro","27":"tag-vivo","28":"tag-vivo-vision","29":"tag-vr","30":"tag-xr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115086993949785956","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=371208"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371208\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/371209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=371208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=371208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=371208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
