Analysis
Vrgineers launched the XTAL 3 CAVU MR headset.
The company worked with AMD and NVIDIA to make its architecture. "By utilizing AMD XILINX FPGA in a combination with NVIDIA Quadro card, we found a way to provide so much needed performance boost for mixed reality, which is far above of two fastest graphical cards, with much lower latency as well as power consumption," explains Marek Polcak, Vrgineers CEO & co-founder.
The headset also uses 4K LCD displays, running at 120 Hz per eye, though the FOV is unclear.
