Visual precision in mixed reality close up.
Seeing crucial dials and knobs in proper focus with content close to the user requires a closer focusing point.
The mixed reality camera system in the Varjo XR-3 Focal Edition is calibrated to provide improved image clarity in the 30 cm to 80 cm range (12” to 31”) from the headset, in comparison to a standard XR-3.
Highest-level security and privacy.
The XR-3 Focal Edition is built with the most demanding security environments in mind, across defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure.
The headset is sold with a perpetual, offline license that enables operations in non-internet connected environments and does not require users to create accounts.
Furthermore, it can be delivered with radio frequency capability removed as required to operate in some classified environments.
Specialized compliance needs covered.
The XR-3 Focal Edition is fully TAA/BAA-compliant (the Trade Agreements Act and the Buy America Act), with the devices being built custom-made at Varjo’s HQ in Helsinki, Finland.
TAA compliance is becoming an ever-increasing requirement enabling HMD-based solutions to be used for secure and classified operations.
All the industry-leading features of the standard model.
Offering photorealistic, true-to-life mixed reality combined with industry-leading capabilities and components found in a headset, the Varjo XR-3 Focal Edition includes everything available in the standard Varjo XR-3.
It is also compatible with all the same software applications and hardware devices—no extra customization is required.
“The Varjo XR-3 Focal Edition offers the required visual fidelity for advanced training simulations where operating physical instruments within mixed reality is mission-critical.”
Jarmo Lindberg - General in Reserve & Former Chief of Defence, Finnish Defence Forces
“In mixed reality pilot training, having the visual precision to operate avionics is paramount. Lockheed Martin's simulators integrate with the Varjo XR-3 Focal Edition’s passthrough cameras for viewing the physical controls and dashboards in a cockpit.”
Adam Breed, Strategic Technologies Architect, Lockheed Martin Training and Logistics Solutions
“With this advanced mixed reality solution, pilots can also use physical controllers that are needed to operate commercial aircraft, strongly enhancing our training outcomes.”
Daniel Jäger, TKI, Lufthansa Aviation Training Switzerland AG
“Our engineering team has noticed a clear difference in the ability to read instruments on the avionics panel thanks to Varjo’s all new XR-3 Focal Edition.”
Chad Schmitz, Product Manager for Mixed Reality Flight, FlightSafety International
“With the XR-3 Focal Edition, we’re able to deliver world-class mixed-reality, multi-sensor and visual solutions for a variety of advanced customers for the US Air Force, US Navy, US Marines, US Coast Guard, and Allied Partner nations on the most stringent use cases.”
Javier Castellar, CSO and Co-Founder, Aechelon Technology Inc.
“The Varjo XR-3 Focal Edition perfectly addresses our customer’s requirements for training in Mixed Reality.”
George Forbes, CEO, IDSI
“The XR-3 Focal Edition provides the clarity to check if the wings of an aircraft miles away are level while also clearly and vibrantly showing something that is millimeters in size in the operations center.”
Dan Meeks, Simulation Consultant, Battlespace Simulations
“We’re seeing a radical improvement when reading print and digital text in a mixed reality cockpit training scenario with the Varjo XR-3 Focal Edition.”
Bert Haselden, Mixed Reality Lead Engineer, MVRsimulation
