Hands-on: Shiftall MeganeX Superlight Packs a Wishlist of Ergonomics Into a Tiny Package
- Japan-based Shiftall plans to release an ultra-compact VR headset, the MeganeX Superlight, which delivers optical adjustments, such as IPD and eye-relief, which are standard for any headset.
- The MeganeX Superlight has a 13.6MP per-eye resolution as well as and a 90Hz refresh rate, therefore, the headset calls for a top-tier PC to run high-quality VR content.
- The headset is set to be perfect for flight simulators where long sightlines to distant objects are common, and for virtual desktops where resolving fine text is crucial.
- The headset will reportedly begin shipping between February and March next year, starting from a retail price of $1900.
- The MeganeX Superlight is designed for the SteamVR ecosystem and can be purchased as a headset only, meaning buyers need to bring their own SteamVR Tracking beacons and controllers.
- The MeganeX Superlight includes new adjustments such as IPD, eye-relief, diopter, a flip-up visor, and a lens angle adjustment, making it easier to adjust to fit each individual and giving them the most comfortable visual experience.
- One drawback of the headset is the lack of built-in audio, which has been rectified by including optional audio headstraps available for separate purchase.
- Another disadvantage of the headset is the cost, as it is an expensive gadget, which costs $1,900.
- Shiftall CEO Takuma Iwasa said the headset is primarily targeted towards hardcore VR users who are willing to spend big on maximizing their VR experience, especially those using VRChat for long stretches of time.
- Shiftall is on track to deliver an impressive headset granted it can work out a few tweaks before crossing the finish line. If the company can find a group of users who love the MeganeX Superlight, it will have proven VR's success among hardcore fans willing to spend a lot to improve their experience
