The conceptual 'Surface VR' has been designed as a new Microsoft product that imagines what a potential product in the brand's signature lineup of Surface products might look like. Created by Max Dahl, the virtual reality headset follows the angular aesthetic of the other devices in the Microsoft product lineup and is outfitted with two cameras on the front. This could allow for augmented reality (AR) functionalities for professionals, medical students and the like to take advantage of when getting work done.
The conceptual 'Surface VR' headset has an intuitive user interface that consists of a built-in trackpad and buttons on both the left and right temples. This is focused on providing a more enhanced user experience by eliminating the needs for separate controllers.
