Vivo has officially announced that its new mixed reality headset, the Vivo Vision Exploration Edition, will be unveiled on August 21 in China. Back in 2023, HTC launched the Vivo XR Elite as the world’s first mixed reality headset based on Android. The Vivo Vision will be the second MR headset from a well-known Android brand. Here’s a look at what to expect from the Vivo Vision.
Vivo Vision: What to expect?
The Vivo Vision is positioned as a mixed reality device rather than a traditional virtual reality headset, enabling a fusion of real-world visuals with digital overlays. Weighing around 380 grams, it is significantly lighter than the Apple Vision Pro at 650 grams and similar to the AirPods Max over-ear headphones.
This reduction in weight is expected to ease strain on the nose and head during prolonged use. The front panel includes at least six cameras or sensors, allowing for accurate real-world passthrough and improved immersion.
The headset will be powered by a Qualcomm processor, placing it among high-end MR devices. It incorporates both eye-tracking and hand gesture controls, a feature currently seen in only a handful of products worldwide. Vivo has designed the Vision to integrate seamlessly with its smartphone ecosystem, especially with the upcoming X200 Ultra, whose panoramic shots can be transformed into spatial video experiences when viewed through the headset. As an “exploration edition,” it will not be commercially available in 2025, but users can register for in-store trial sessions after launch to provide feedback for future models.
