Our Thoughts: Seen as the younger brother of the Sensics zSight the Sensics XSight had good immersion with 1920×1200 pixels per eye, tiled OLEDs and a massive 123° field of view! Sensics have such a long line of impressive VR headsets that they could almost copyright the tech behind it! But they do work with the Razer OSVR (Open-Source Virtual Reality) ecosystem so it might be a bit hard to close that copywriter down.
I’m sure they have no intention of releasing a VR headset to the public because they really don’t need to prove anything to the public. By helping out various other firms that will cement their place in the VR history books and forever be loved and respected within the VR community. The xSight has seen a lot of successfully in the defense, commercial and academic markets and is perfect for the more industrial markets. It’s thanks to this company that the costs of making a VR headset have lowered making VR headsets almost affordable to the general public.
