In a leap towards revolutionizing the landscape of enterprise virtual reality, Varjo, the Finnish mixed reality trailblazer, has unveiled its latest marvel—the XR-4 headset. Priced at $3,990, this cutting-edge creation steps onto the stage, echoing the strides made by other tech giants, placing hefty bets on the transformative power of virtual and augmented reality.

Diverging from consumer-centric norms, Varjo’s XR-4 is not just a headset; it’s a sophisticated tool meticulously crafted for enterprise landscapes. Whether it’s refining the skills of a defense contractor’s pilot in a virtual reality simulation or aiding a surveyor in mapping out expansive construction sites, the XR-4 is tailored for professional prowess.
Boasting twin 4K displays, a 50% wider field of view, and intensified brightness and color depth, the XR-4 is not merely an iteration; it’s a leap forward. Patrick Wyatt, Varjo’s Chief Product Officer, emphasizes the technical nuances, including a screen-per-eye configuration for optimal resolution, a move that not only enhances performance but also contributes to cost efficiency and scalability.
At the heart of XR-4’s allure is its dual 20-megapixel front cameras, facilitating pass-through mixed reality. Users can seamlessly blend the digital realm with their physical surroundings, a feature resonant with trends set by Meta and Apple’s Vision Pro. Imagine stepping into a virtually rendered kitchen, interacting with objects, and feeling the surface—Varjo’s XR-4 makes this immersive experience a reality.
Beyond visuals, the XR-4 incorporates ambient light sensors, advanced lidar for precise 3D laser scanning, and built-in 3D spatial audio with noise-canceling mics and integrated speakers. Navigating the XR-4’s virtual and physical realms is effortless, thanks to inside-out tracking and Varjo’s bespoke controllers.
