Celebrating its 30th anniversary, vivo hosted a landmark event, the vivo Vision Launch Event & Imaging Grand Ceremony, in Dongguan. The occasion not only reaffirmed vivo’s position as a leading smartphone innovator but also marked its official entry into the Mixed Reality (MR) market, with the debut of its first MR headset, the vivo Vision Discovery Edition.
The device represents the culmination of four years of intensive research and development, harnessing vivo’s deep expertise in imaging technologies, advanced sensors, and high-definition displays. With this launch, vivo steps into a new chapter that fuses spatial computing and immersive experiences with its evolving strategy in imaging innovation.
Hu Baishan: “Thirty Years of Passion and Humanity”
In his opening remarks, Hu Baishan – Executive Vice President & COO of vivo, and President of the vivo Central Research Institute – reflected on the company’s journey from its beginnings in Chang’an three decades ago:
“We are not here merely to honor the past, but to continue the path we set out on. A path that unites technology with humanity, passion with mutual benefit. Our mission is to let technology illuminate beauty, to bring our products to every user without exception. Our journey does not end at 30 years; it is the beginning of a century-long commitment driven by innovation and humanity.”
Vision Discovery Edition: Lightweight, Comfortable, and Immersive
The vivo Vision Discovery Edition sets new standards for the MR industry. Weighing only 398 grams, with a height of 83 mm and thickness of 40 mm, the headset is 26% smaller than the industry average—ensuring exceptional comfort for daily use and extended immersive sessions.
The design is the result of extensive human-factors research, featuring four light-seal sizes and eight foam padding options to guarantee an optimal fit, even during active movement.
Powered by OriginOS Vision, the device introduces natural, gesture-based interactions. Instead of traditional touch controls, users can navigate using intuitive “move-and-pinch” gestures. The headset integrates 1.5° precision eye-tracking, 26 degrees of freedom fingertip tracking, and a 175° vertical tracking range, offering seamless control across gaming, productivity, and entertainment.
8K Visuals with Cinematic Precision
At the core of the visual experience are dual Micro-OLED displays, delivering 8K binocular resolution, 94% DCI-P3 color coverage, and DeltaE<2 color accuracy—standards typically reserved for professional cinema monitors. vivo has also implemented rigorous calibration to reduce interocular brightness and color differences (≤2 nits brightness variance; ΔE<2 chromatic deviation), minimizing visual fatigue during prolonged use.
Performance is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon® XR2+ Gen 2 platform, offering 2.5x GPU performance and 8x AI performance compared to the previous generation. This ensures ultra-fast rendering, enhanced spatial computing, and robust performance across all applications.
Portable Cinema and Multi-Purpose Immersion
The device transforms entertainment by turning any room into a 120-foot virtual cinema screen. Users can enjoy blockbuster films in immersive quality, watch live sports or e-sports from multiple viewing angles, or even split the screen to follow multiple streams simultaneously—all without missing a detail.
