Panisho brand Shiftall has announced the latest prototype of the MeganeX VR headset. In addition to the updated design, Panasonic also demonstrated the SteamVR tracking module, adding precise tracking to the headset, and supporting Valve Index controller. The company said the headset will showcase the latest design at the AWE Europe 2022 conference, although the MeganeX does not appear to be an all-in-one, but is designed for PC VR.
While the name of "Shiftall MeganeX VR" may be inconspicuous, it is indeed a stylish looking VR headset with good SteamVR compatibility, inside-out/outside-in tracking, a single-eye high resolution 2560 × 2560 (6.5MP), a 120Hz display that claims to support HDR – all included in a compact form factor… This is undoubtedly an impressive feature of this PCVR headset.
Only time will tell if this headset is really amazing, and with Panasonic unveiling the latest prototype of the MeganeX headset, including the first demonstration of the SteamVR tracking module installed on the top of the headset, Shiftall said that this will support the headset optionally with external tracking as an alternative to the outside-in tracking solution.
Shiftall also stated that the final design of the SteamVR tracking module will have a coverage sensor, which will have a simpler appearance:
In addition, Shiftall also confirmed that the headset will include an adapter that can not only connect to the SteamVR tracking module, but also increase support for the Valve Index handle. Given the interoperability of the SteamVR ecosystem, it is expected that this means that any object that can be connected to a standard SteamVR adapter can also work with a headset (such as Vive wands or Tundra trackers).
, however, strangely, when Shiftall MeganeX was first released, Shiftall said that the headset could be used as a VR all-in-one thanks to the addition of the Snapdragon XR1 chip. However, the latest information we found on the headset does not mention the standalone feature, but points out that this is a pure PCVR headset.
