Why invest in the world's most advanced mixed reality?

When teaching complex, technically demanding subjects, realism matters. Being able to see and interact with objects or work in environments that look and feel true-to-life directly impacts how engaged students are and what their learning outcomes will be.

With Varjo’s solutions, you’ll be able to teach technical subjects such as engineering and design, visualize complex topics such as human anatomy, practice core skills such as surgery or operating dangerous machinery, simulate critical scenarios such as emergency response, or conduct student research or studies in a scalable and repeatable way.

Varjo XR-4 Series headsets enable an incredibly natural experience, thanks to their industry-leading retinal resolution and a 120-degree horizontal and 105-degree vertical field of view. And with advanced features such as active cooling and zero-gravity headband, you can host longer training sessions comfortably.
