The 'Xrostella VR1' is a pair of VR glasses designed to be used via a wired connection to a PC or smartphone. Featuring a lightweight body of approximately 198g and high-definition image display, it is designed to be comfortable for long periods of use, allowing users to stay immersed in VR spaces. Its glasses-style design makes it easy to put on and take off, making VR experiences more accessible for use during spare moments in daily life. In conjunction with the start of the crowdfunding campaign, a virtual showroom called 'SHARP Xrostella World' has been opened on VRChat. It can be accessed via commercially available PC-connected VR glasses or directly from a PC. The venue features a giant monument of the 'Xrostella VR1', key visuals, and explanatory panels to showcase features such as the impact of the large screen and comfortable fit. It also includes a 'relaxation space' themed around a campfire and camping, where visitors can spend time in a tranquil environment filled with soothing ambient sounds and soft lighting. Various events will be held sequentially in 'SHARP Xrostella World' in the future, including planned interactive sessions with the development team to discuss the behind-the-scenes development and the vision behind the product. ■ About the Crowdfunding Campaign on 'GREEN FUNDING' URL: https://greenfunding.jp/lab/projects/9064 Campaign Period: Friday, March 27, 2026, 11:00 AM – Sunday, May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM Early Bird Price (tax included): Starting from 199,900 yen (limited to 40 units) For more information regarding our VR products and 'SHARP Xrostella World', please visit the following website.
