Onix VR is building a modular VR HMD that will let you pick and choose the functionality that you want. Onix VR designed the headset to be upgraded from a tethered device to a wireless device, or to a standalone HMD.
During Immersed 2016, we had the chance to speak with Alan Peric, the founder of Onix Virtual Reality, a VR HMD company that ?is taking a modular approach to upgradability.? Onix is designing a high-end VR headset called Pulsar that features a curved 4K 120Hz display that you can use as a tethered, wireless, or self-contained device.
The basic unit needs a PC to access content, but customers will have the option of purchasing upgrade modules that change the core function of the hardware. Onix VR plans to release a tether-free upgrade to make the Pulsar HMD wireless, and the ultimate configuration is the self-contained unit. An upgraded head strap that includes all the computational power necessary for high-end virtual reality experiences is in the works to make that possible.
