One of the largest technological companies in China has just copied the largest Apple flop

Apple has had a few failures in the past (looking at you, G4 Cube), but lately, probably no piece of equipment has been a greater flop than the pro vision. But it is not because the sales of the computer in front of $ 3,500 from Apple have been lukewarm at best did not prevent competitors from evolving their own looks. This includes Samsung and its next Moohan Headset project running Android XR, and now an almost ridiculously close to China of the Vivo smartphones manufacturer.

If Project Moohan is inspired by the pro vision, Vivo’s helmet, called (and I do not invent it) Vivo Vision, is essentially a situation of copy / paste, except that it allegedly addresses one of the biggest drawbacks of pro vision: weight. According to Vivo, which has just published many key specifications on the Vivo vision this week, its helmet weighs 398 grams, which is a ridiculous weight reduction of 40% compared to the pro vision. This even beats Meta quest 3 in the weight department of 117 grams. Needless to say, this is a wild affirmation.

As for similarities to pro vision, Vivo vision has a lot; There is the knitted head strap, a similar glass forehead, a battery, and it supports “moving and pinching gestures” and eye tracking, which looks like Apple Visionos. There is no pro-esque vision function Eyesight (the front oriented display that shows your eyes) on the front of the helmet, which could explain the difference in weight between the two.

What makes this potential weight of weight even more wild is the fact that Vivo Vision also seems to correspond to the pro vision on one of its largest sales arguments: a very premium display. According to Vivo, the helmet has a micro-épée screen with a resolution of 3,552 x 3,840 and a PPI (pixel density) of 4,032. These two specifications correspond to the pro vision, which has a resolution of 3,660 x 3 200 pixels per eye and a PPI of 3,386. In other words, Vivo promises a helmet that has the air as high-end as the pro vision but weighs much less.

There is also another revealing piece: Vivo says that vision could cost less than half the price of a professional vision when published. According to the first rumors, prices estimates vary around the $ 1,400 mark, although there is no official price of Vivo yet.

So, hypothetically, we look at a helmet that has a display as pleasant as the pro vision, if not more pleasant, costs less than half and crushes absolutely Apple and Meta in weight … HMM. Listen, I am open-minded, but I will believe all this if and when I see the Vivo vision for myself. It should be noted here that the Vivo vision is not yet quite a real product, because the version announced this week is a “discovery edition”. There are still a lot to see before buying the media threshing, but if This helmet is legitimate, there are sort of dunks on competition.

However, I suppose that it should be noted that even if it really makes the apple section in its own game, it is not quite a real competition because the Vivo vision will probably only be published in China. In addition, the rumor could be in the laboratory to work on another pro I iteration of vision with a reinforced M5 chip, then perhaps its hard work on this front will help follow a carbon copy rival if and when it is launched. For the moment, I am labeling the Vivo vision too beautiful to be true until proven the opposite.
