Vivo Takes Aim at apple with New Mixed Reality Headset
Technology giant vivo has announced enterprising plans too enter the mixed reality (MR) market with a headset designed to rival Apple‘s Vision Pro. The announcement,made at a recent event,revealed that a prototype of the device will be showcased to the public in either September or October of this year. while specific details remain under wraps, vivo promises that its MR headset will boast features that surpass those of the Vision Pro. This move comes despite the less-than-stellar sales performance of apple’s vision Pro since its launch. Though, vivo seems undeterred, with a dedicated team of 500 engineers reportedly working tirelessly on the project. The company clearly believes that MR technology has immense potential and is positioning itself to capitalize on this growing market. One potential advantage vivo might hold is pricing. industry insiders speculate that the Chinese company could deliver a comparable MR experience, possibly even surpassing the Vision Pro in certain aspects, at a considerably lower cost. If successful,this strategy could prove highly effective in attracting budget-conscious consumers. Before its official release, vivo plans to offer “high-fidelity prototype experiences” of the MR headset in multiple cities across China by late 2025. The exact launch date for the consumer version remains uncertain and will depend on the advancement of a robust ecosystem of supporting content, according to a vivo executive.## Vivo’s Bold Bet on Mixed Reality
