Panasonic enters "Meta Universe" and releases 3 VR devices

According to Kyodo News, Panasonic announced on the afternoon of January 3, local time, that it has officially entered the field of online virtual reality space "meta universe". Panasonic will release three products including head-mounted display devices and microphones supporting virtual reality (VR) technology in the spring as soon as possible, striving to open up new demands. The VR headset "MeganeX" released by Panasonic uses a high-definition organic EL (also known as OLED) screen. It is said that the weight is controlled below 230 grams, and the price is less than 100,000 yen (about 5,500 yuan). The other two products are leak-proof microphones that can be fixed to the mouth with a strap, and devices that can be fixed on the back to experience temperature changes according to virtual space conditions. Takuma Iwasa, the chief executive officer (CEO) of the subsidiary Shiftall in charge of development, emphasized: "Panasonic will enter the Metaverse field mainly from a hardware perspective."
