vivo is celebrating its 30th anniversary by unveiling its first mixed reality headset, the vivo Vision Discovery Edition, at the vivo Vision Launch Event & Imaging Grand Ceremony. This launch represents a significant step in vivo’s journey into spatial computing and immersive technology, highlighting the company’s commitment to innovation and user-centric design.
Drawing on its extensive experience in imaging, sensors, and display technologies, vivo has tackled key engineering challenges in mixed reality, particularly in perception, interaction, and computational performance. The vivo Vision Discovery Edition is the first MR device developed by a Chinese smartphone manufacturer, positioning vivo as the first company from China to operate in both the smartphone and MR product sectors.
The vivo Vision Discovery Edition offers a lightweight and immersive mixed reality experience that has been four years in the making. Designed for daily use, the headset features an ergonomically optimized build weighing just 398 grams, with a height of 83 mm and a thickness of 40 mm, making it 26 percent smaller than the industry average.
Extensive human factors research has informed the design, which includes four sizes of light seal and eight foam padding options to ensure comfort during extended wear or active use. Powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon® XR2+ Gen 2 platform, the headset delivers up to 2.5 times GPU performance and eight times AI performance compared to the previous generation, enabling high-speed rendering and advanced interactive experiences in spatial computing.
Running on OriginOS Vision, the vivo Vision Discovery Edition allows for natural and intuitive interactions across entertainment, gaming, and productivity scenarios. Users can enjoy immersive panoramic video, watch live sports or e-sports from multiple angles, or experience cinematic media on a virtual 120-foot theater screen anytime, anywhere.
The headset introduces Malaysian consumers to the growing OriginOS Vision ecosystem, extending vivo’s technology beyond smartphones and providing a new portal into digital life. The vivo Vision Discovery Edition is now available for hands-on experiences at selected vivo Concept Stores nationwide, marking vivo’s latest innovation in delivering immersive, accessible, and high-performance mixed reality experiences to everyday users.
