Acer OJO 500 headset

Acer has launched OJO 500, the new Windows Mixed Reality Headset that is garnering attention for its one-of-a-kind detachable design. Chandrahas Panigrahi, CMO and Consumer Business Head, Acer India, said that the new headset is packed with several new features to categorise it as a windows mixed reality one.

Designed mainly to provide flexibility and comfort for consumers and businesses, the OJO 500 is priced at Rs. 39,999. The headset comes with a hard head strap or soft washable one. The design enables the lens and the head strap to be individually removed, making the headset easy to store and clean. Acer claims it is especially beneficial for businesses who want to provide customers with clean headwear for each use.

Packed with technology

Acer claims the headset as the first-of-its-kind headset that is packed with virtual reality, a patented built-in sound pipe technology and a software-assisted interpupillary distance (IPD) adjustment technology. This, along with IPD Meter and IPD Indicator software lets the wearer modify the distance between the eye’s pupil and display for sharper and clearer images, thereby offering an enhanced user experience with the combination of technologies.
