This VR headset looks like a regular pair of sunglasses

VR headsets are not particularly attractive. They’re chunky and kind-of look like ski mask goggles with a screen and lenses that strap to your head.

But what if there was a VR headset that wasn’t so big and ugly? The Chinese company Dlodlo has recently introduced its V One VR headset, which has been designed to look like a regular pair of sunglasses!

The stylish V One headset is arguably the lightest VR headset around. Weighing only about 80 grams, it is even lighter than LG’s 360 VR, which weighs in at around 114 grams. Dlodlo’s lenses are also only 16mm thick.

For such a regular looking VR headset, the specs are pretty powerful:

- 2560 x 1440 resolution display

- 1600 pixels per inch for each eye

- 100 degree field of view

- 10ms latency

- 9-axis sensor for head-tracking

Similar to LG’s 360 VR headset, the V One connects to an external processing unit. LG’s VR headset connects to the LG G5 via a USB-C cable. The V Once connects to the company’s D-BOX processing box, which means the headset will have its own API and app store for downloading VR content.

There is no word on the pricing or when the V Once will be releases, but if the company can really deliver on the form factor without a lot of downsides, then VR could finally overcome its nerdy stigma!
