The conceptual '0²' VR headset has been designed by RITE as a new take on virtual reality (VR) wearables that takes a handful of pain points into account to streamline the user experience.
The headset is constructed using 3D printing technology in conjunction with parametric design techniques to reduce overall weight without affecting the functionality or structure of the wearable. The headset is equipped with high-quality lenses and cameras with a metallic construction, but manages to keep the weight low to reduce the potential for fatigue or strain during long-term use.
The conceptual '0²' VR headset is also imagined with strategic ventilation points to prevent the user from feeling uncomfortable during longer sessions to further increase overall comfort.
