Varjo™, the technology leader in industrial-grade VR/XR headsets, has announced the official launch of its local reseller network for the world’s first human-eye resolution virtual reality device, the Varjo VR-1. Varjo’s local resellers will play a key role in introducing the product – designed solely for professionals in industrial design and architecture, training and simulation, as well as research – to companies and research institutions that want to build immersive experiences in human-eye resolution.
Expansive Network Takes VR-1 to Europe and North America
“We are incredibly happy to be able to start providing local support and demos of human-eye resolution VR with our premium partners in more than 34 countries across Europe and North America,” said Miika Jokinen, Sales & Channel Development at Varjo. “With the support of our local partners, we are committed to providing unmatched expertise and on-the-ground support for our customers who are eager to start utilizing VR across different markets.”
Varjo’s new XR-1 Developer Edition is a groundbreaking device that works by adding technology to its existing VR-1 headset.
VR-1 comes with integrated eye tracking and full compatibility with the world’s leading 3D engines and software tools, including Unity, Unreal Engine, Autodesk VRED, and Prepar3d.

With their deep industry knowledge, Varjo’s local resellers are well equipped to help companies start utilizing VR to shorten design life cycles and make training and research more effective, resulting in time and cost savings.
