Immersed Visor: A Demo That Never Was

  • I had a hands on demo of Immersed Visor and it was the most peculiar experience! Not at all what I, or anyone else, were expecting, but more than necessary to talk about nonetheless. So... here we go!
    Timestamps:
    00:00 - The Promise
    00:46 - Expectations vs. Reality
    01:43 - Design vs. Weight vs. Comfort
    04:39 - A Demo That Wasn’t
    06:15 - Production Concerns
    08:02 - Is There Hope?
    Here are the questions I sent to the Immersed team after the event. If there is something else you're interested in, drop it in the comments below and I will try to get the answers for you!
    1. Will Visor allow sideload? And will it support open XR?
    2. Are you facing a low yield rate issue with micro oled panels and how do you plan to mitigate it?
    3. What's the earliest planned shipping date?
    4. Will it ever get up to 120hz refresh rate? What about Dolby Vision?
    5. Is Immersed going to be an app on Visor, or will the productivity features work natively on this headset, like on AVP?
    6. Will there be an app store for users, and/or a b2b app store with discoverability planned?
    7. Do you consider supporting developers in adapting their software to support your device?

    This, on top of them blocking people on social media and deleting criticism on their subreddit, makes it abundantly clear to me how this is a company that had the best of intentions but has an ego problem. They can't be told they're wrong, they refuse to be realistic about expectations, and they are overly ambitious to the point of underdelivering on everything thus far.
    You wanna root for the little guy and more competition, but Immersed has sadly made it abundantly clear that they aren't the ones to do it.

      Exactly! And one more red flag: them constantly changing their business models. They started as a subscription app (fine by me, I was even a paying customer), then veering off towards crypto grifting with virtual real-estate and then, when this did not work out, going into the hardware business and neglecting the app itself. Oh, and one more thing: their idiotic decision to force the users to physically unplug any additional monitors from their PCs. They could've simply limited the app to just use one monitor, but, according to Renji, that would be very difficult to implement. If _that_ is difficult for them, why should people trust their hundreds of dollars with such a company?

I have put in a request to cancel my Founder’s Edition preorder as I only did that so that I could hopefully get the product sometime this year. I don’t think Visor is anywhere close to release, and that preorder money could be better used in other areas of my life. I bought a product. I never intended to invest in a Kickstarter. I hope now that they abide by the conditions of the preorder and provide a full refund.

    It was a great review with detailed insights and sound criticism. I’ve also subscribed to the Founder's Edition, and I have high expectations for Visor. While there are some differences between the marketing and the actual product, I personally find them somewhat understandable, and there’s no doubt it’s an innovative product. In an interview with Rejin, the CEO, conducted by a Japanese blogger, he mentioned that they plan to do a demo in Japan in December. I expect they’ll showcase something fully functional at that time. Based on this, I think the shipping will be around the end of 2024 or early 2025 at the earliest. If there are any delays, I hope Immersed will announce them promptly.

    I appreciate Tetiana focusing on the current form factor of the Visor, and the fact that it's not yet as comfortable to wear as their advertising implies, including its head strap issues causing it to press somewhat against the face like a VR headset instead of VR glasses.

      Xreal drops the ball on their Beam gear. I bought the Beam and was so burned by it that I have pulled back, happy to stick with the Xreal 1, and just treat them as a 1080 HMD powered by Dex. Which, the form factor is really nice, but we need something solid, not a half-baked solution with the only solution to buy the next, possibly, half-baked product.
      It doesn't help when many supporters provide anecdotal reviews based on a desire to justify their purchase and most professional reviewers will review favorably in hopes of getting more free stuff.

    So glad I held off on this for “release”. I watched the live keynote and kept thinking how unprofessional & unorganized there is no way they are delivering what they advertised. Then they failed to demo in any real sense, final straw was when he said “they only designed the stems to get you to buy it” and showed the weight on a grocery store scale. They never intended you to use it and I was out at that statement. Your vid confirms what I’ve suspected of visor all along…. They are full of shit, the presentation and product are doomed to be half assed. There is no way they have backing of major IT product companies, no major brand would associate with such a subpar release. Thank you so much you further reinforced my gut feel I will be avoiding this company even if they ever do deliver.

    We were all misled. Period. A lot of hipe for nothing. I was going to purchase one because of the form factor, but it is evident that it is a traditional vr headset disguised as glasses. While I use immersed and I enjoy the software, I think they pulled the wool over our eyes; it is hard for me to trust their word after the demo and how they lead us on. Finally, they should have weighted the headset with the stems on. That is how they promoted it for months, and that is what I expected to see. It is better to under promise and over deliver.
    I appreciate your optimism, though. You are a great journalist. Obejective and fair.

      If it was a traditional headset it would've been excellent at that price with those lenses and it would be the standard for PCVR. Cheap MicroOLED with wireless PCVR?

      The software component is nice enough. I unfortunately use a LG C1 for a monitor and it catches a lot of glare. Using my Quest 3 I can get virtual screens and ignore this glare. They are also generous enough to give full access after 3 days of usage in a rolling 7 day window. Using it currently as I type this.
      But, the hardware isn't it. Clearly they are a software company and they should just start monetizing that software and possibly port it to a AR glasses so someone can plug in some Xreals/Rokids/etc and get a similar experience. Controlling the screens and passthrough via software on Mac or Windows should be easier to solve than creating a headset.

    They should have gone more the AR glasses route with better panels. It is something that would have required a lot less tech and be something they could deliver on and be something that could be smaller and look like what they originally presented. Trying to be a VR headset that has all the tech that companies like Meta and Apple worked years on and be smaller isn't possible. If it was possible, it would have been done by one of these companies already. We all know how much Apple didn't want their headset as big as it end up being.

    Very fair review. I didn't have seen the keynote but from what you describe that critics are very fair. You don't go to a keynote and then you don't see a working product. And even if it was a mistake at the last moment, that they also pretty much laid about the form factor didn't help to build up trust. I would say if all was right and they only messed up the prototype to show it, the critics would be much smaller. But so you can't tell if on the visual/software side is not another let down waiting. They need to make a clear statement.

    Fully agree with you. I put my money in for the headset since last year but the go of transparency is just ridiculous... They can show videos of it being demoed or they can show screenshots of this software or they can show what the theater mode is or explain the app center or the curator... All renji said is that they will expand more in the upcoming weeks... These had to be discussed during the irl yet non of these was discussed... The faith in immersed is getting thinner, there is no reason not to give more info at this point. The firmware issue is not holding them back....

People have pre-ordered these units just to be disappointed that there is no working demo of it. The amount of time these small startups and companies are going to spend to get this right and then not make profit out of it, Apple & Meta's of the world will be rolling out budget versions of these glasses what blends in to the ecosystem, has excellent support and years of engineering and reputation to back up.

    I would like simple answers, such as how much RAM and storage space the VISOR has. That at least should be something they can communicate even without a unit with working firmware. Most other stats we now know (resolution, weight, processor etc), the headset while bigger than initial marketing still looks like a good VR headset design (if the head strap is used at least). But what needs to be revealed before people should be expected to order this thing are simple answers, like how much storage do I get for (theoretical upcoming theatre mode).
    Great video though. Thank you for seeking answers.

    Great job Tetiana! Failing to impress reviewers is a bad sign for consumers. Despite that, I think it’s important that with the price consumers will also have to purchase lenses and maybe even audio along with a decent headset. The cost already seems to be climbing and you didn’t even get to test the actual visor. This product sounds like a definite “buyer beware”

    The stems don't have the angle that the original mock ups had. That's interesting. It makes sense it would fall down on your face. The fact that they didn't have the straps is odd too. I'd think that would be something that's easy to get set up with. It's not technical or anything. I wonder if some last minute design changes happened and the accessories weren't ready yet.

    • @ShawnFumo
      @ShawnFumo 4 місяці тому

      Yeah it is odd. Like for people who would actually travel there, I’d think they most care about working in VR and so would be most interested in the real strap and the battery connection etc. And it seems like even the stems are supposed to connect to the battery pack, which should help counterweight it a little at least. So weird to just have a pull thing in the back to tighten it. At least have a fake battery pack with weight in the case that the cord runs through.

  • @quipsilvervr
    @quipsilvervr 4 місяці тому

    As much as I'm interested in new tech entering the fray, if they can't/won't give a technical demonstration, then they're essentially saying that they have an idea, and want upfront preorder money for it.
    I think since they did it this way, they probably just killed any hype their marketting materials might have built up. I imagine the cover that hides the camera, is mostly there because without it, people will believe they're being recorded since the cameras are very clear without that cover. Until they have a working demo with proof that it can be mass produced in a way that won't sink the company, it's likely a safe move to consider it as an idea and not existing hardware.
    Sounds harsh, but safest to temper expectations, especially when they'd be expected to meet demand, but couldn't have a working prototype for journalists to have a look at for first impressions.

      If you have to ask, you know the answer.

    • @inuyasha331
      @inuyasha331 4 місяці тому

      The subscription is a PAYMENT PLAN. Lets get that out of the way first. It is NOT required and after your plan is finished you can simply NOT renew it. Yes you lose the Visor Premium features but none of these hinder the usage of the device. You still get your 5 screens, you can still mirror them.
      During the payment plan you need to "phone home" once every 30 days. If your plan isn't paid for and you don't connect online in that 30 day window then yes it's effectively a brick until you pay what's due.

But not having a working model available? That's seriously lame. This leaves me feeling more scammed than before the conference.

    Sure this is a headset territory, not the glasses I've seen in promo materials.

I still think it has potential, but for now, I suggest going back to the drawing board - make v2 smaller and more comfortable.

Look I’m still hopeful they come up with something close to their target, even though I am not the target audience, this would only help the VR market for productivity which is something I’ve always wanted to see. Disclaimer I’m all in on Apple with all my devices which is why I bought the AVP, and I have no regrets. But the visor has been on my radar though I knew it’s not going to be as good as the marketing videos made it out to be.

    I was there for the keynote and I was super disappointed that no units were working. Visor engineers really failed on delivery. On their biggest day they did not have back up units with old working software? Or a least a version of the software to revert back to in case of a failure?
    We just need a unit to works enough to display the content. The extra bells and whistles can be left for later. People wanted to see these screens turned on.
    I wore the unit for a couple of seconds and I was done because the weight and design was something we already knew. We all wanted to see the quality of the screens which they failed to present.
