    The Varjo Aero is without a doubt the best clarity I've experienced in VR. It is not completely 4k monitor quality but very close to it and more than good enough to even work in VR for prolonged periods without me experiencing motion sickness or eye fatigue.

    My only gripes are:
    1. being "cable linked" to my PC and thus restricted wrt freedom of movement
    2. Outside in tracking further restricting mobility and flexible use ie fixed location
    3. Additional cost of having to buy Valve Index controllers and base stations

    This makes the Varjo Aero the King of Simulation based VR experiences - for any Flight Simulator or Racing Simulator games where high fidelity is the name of the game...

    It is best VR headset

    I have been thinking about buying this headset for literally 3 months. Everything else is just not what I wanted.

    Insane display detail

    If I had unlimited funds, this is the PCVR headset I would buy today. I find it difficult to go back to my other headsets, whether its Valve Index, the Reverb G2, or the Quest 2, having played games like Half-Life Alyx, Lead Dangerous Pavlov in the Varjo Aero.

    Industry-leading visual clarity for pilots, designers, and VR trailblazers.

    Elevate your virtual world with true-to-life colors, brightness, and contrast levels. Varjo Aero features dual mini-LED displays that are individually color-calibrated with an incredible 150 nits of brightness and a 99% SRGB / 95% DCI-P3 color space.

    Varjo Aero brings unparalleled visual quality to VR, more accessible than ever. With a resolution of 35 pixels per degree, it delivers exceptional realism for virtual simulations, eradicating the screen-door effect and god rays.

    Experience crystal clear visuals with Varjo's variable resolution aspheric lenses.

    Varjo Aero incorporates a groundbreaking optical design, enabling users to reach new heights of visual accuracy by tightly packing pixels in the central focus area. Its variable resolution lenses provide a razor-sharp peak resolution of 35 PPD at the center of focus – mirroring the human eye's functionality. In contrast, other commercially available headsets peak at around 20 PPD.

    Moving beyond the blurriness of consumer-grade Fresnel lenses, the Aero's aspheric lenses offer a vivid, true-to-life visual experience, making god rays and the screen-door effect obsolete.

    Automatically customized visuals for every user.

    Varjo Aero features the world's most sophisticated built-in eye tracking at 200Hz. Its automatic, mechanical interpupillary distance adjustment ensures optimal visual quality for each individual.

    With a one-dot calibration, the headset rapidly adjusts to your eyes, providing the perfect optical fit. The eye tracking also enables advanced dynamic foveated rendering, further enhancing application performance.

    Welcome to business class comfort with Varjo Aero.

    The most comfortable VR headset ever made. Designed to feel weightless, it allows users to fully immerse themselves in their VR experiences.

    The perfect blend of a precision three-point head strap, a meticulously calibrated counterweight, and active cooling makes lengthy VR sessions for flying, driving, or designing enjoyable.

    Hear what industry leaders and pioneers are saying.

    Delivering the accuracy pilots demand.

    VRM Switzerland is one of the pioneering companies who have tested and used Varjo Aero in early access. They have been able to take advantage of the ultra high fidelity, true-to-life visual experience provided by the new VR headset. VRM’s state-of-the-art helicopter motion simulation platform features Varjo Aero as a key component.

    The result? A flight simulation experience that is so immersive and realistic that it has in fact already been certified by the EASA, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, for professional pilots to log virtual reality flight hours.

    Hear what Fabi Riesen, CEO of VRM Switzerland, has to say about the simulation solution that delivers the high-quality visuals that pilots need.
