'Xrostella VR1' is a pair of VR glasses used by connecting via cable to a PC or smartphone (*2). It achieves a lightweight body of approximately 198g (*3) and high-definition image display. It is comfortable to wear even for long periods, allowing users to remain immersed in the VR space. The easy-to-wear glasses-type design allows for casual use during spare moments in daily life, making the VR experience more accessible.
In conjunction with the start of the crowdfunding, a virtual showroom, 'SHARP Xrostella World,' has been opened on VRChat. It is available to users via commercially available PC-connected VR glasses as well as through PCs. The venue features a giant monument, key visuals, and explanatory panels for the 'Xrostella VR1' to introduce features such as the impact of the large screen and comfortable fit. Additionally, a 'relaxing space' themed around campfires and camping has been prepared. Users can enjoy a leisurely time while wrapped in pleasant ambient sounds and soft lighting effects.
Moving forward, various events will be held sequentially at 'SHARP Xrostella World.' Plans are also in place to hold interactive events with developers, featuring themes such as the behind-the-scenes story of the device's development and the thoughts put into the product.
