After months of speculation, Vivo has finally unveiled its mixed reality (MR) headset at the Boao Forum for Asia. It’s called the Vision. If the name rings a bell, just wait until you see the device itself.
At first glance, the Vivo Vision looks strikingly similar to Apple’s headset. It features the same ski goggle-style design with a sleek, black glass front covering its front.
We can also see a bunch of cameras inside the front glass and within the body of the headset. These will likely be used for motion tracking and hand gesture recognition — a standard fare for this type of device.
But the similarities with Vision Pro don’t end there. Like it, Vivo’s MR headset also comes with a separate battery pack that needs to be carried while in use. Even the magnetic connector that links the battery to the headset appears to have the same knob-like design as Apple’s.
It’s just a glimpse
For now, this is just a first look. Vivo hasn’t shared full specifications or software details about the headset, but the company says the prototype will be officially unveiled in mid-2025.
Vivo is positioning the Vision headset as part of a larger push toward real-time spatial computing. A move it says will play a key role in future consumer robotics applications.
Alongside the headset, Vivo also announced the establishment of a new robotics lab in China. The lab will focus on developing AI-driven imaging and large model learning, which the company hopes will contribute to building the “brain” and “eyes” of future robots.
While Vivo remains tight-lipped about its headset, the company did confirm the launch of the Vivo X200 Ultra in April. The company might share more details about Vivo Vision around that time, so we’ll have to wait and see what’s next.
