The Varjo XR-4 is a high-resolution headset for enterprises, primarily for companies where graphical resolution is of paramount importance.
The device features 3840 x 3744 resolution per eye, and a 120° x 105° field of view.
The Varjo XR-4 Focal Edition features an equivalent pixel density of 51 PPD.
Autofocus actions from the eye-tracking of the headset drives the autofocus of the 20 MP passthrough cameras.
This provides a passthrough with an incredibly crisp texture and a 51 PPD pixel density.
Retina resolution is generally considered to be around 60 PPD, so the Varjo XR-4 Focal Edition is very close to what human vision requires.
The high resolution, however, is only available inside a small, rectangular region, and there is a noticeable lag when moving the eyes from one object to another.
Reducing the lag and blurring the edges of the high-definition focus area could help this headset provide clearer visuals.
Passthrough vision could presumably become as crisp as our regular vision, enabling us to complete tasks without having to remove our headset entirely.
However, the device costs €10,000, which could pose a potential hurdle for many enterprises.
