The Think Reality VRX Gen 2 software improves upon the VRX Gen 1 Enterprise software with an intense purpose-driven focus on design-for-inclusion, improved accessibility, and a scalable roadmap including AI voice navigation using natural language.
Four key areas of improvement set the gold standard for accessibility and inclusion:
1. Cognitive Accessibility:
• New simplified interfaces for proximal and distal interaction,
• Clear guidance, and
• Tooltips improve the experience for first-time MR/VR users.
2. Visual Accessibility:
• Greater user control over contrast settings, and
• Color-blindness options make for a richer UI experience for visually impaired users.
3. Auditory Accessibility:
• The ThinkReality VRX gently hints at function with
• Tooltip subtitles,
• Easy-to-read-labels, and
• A rich set of auditory enhancements to help the user locate key settings and applications.
4. Physical Accessibility:
• Improved Controller Interaction,
• Adaptive controllers,
• Customizable controls,
• Adjustable user height for a realistic experience,
• Hand-tracking + gestures, and
• AI voice control ensures the next generation of MR/VR software will reach a wider audience with multiple input methods.
The ThinkReality VRX is built for enterprise security, networking, and mobile device management (MDM) demands. No other headset in the market is built for enterprise-first usage and the Gen2 Software update establishes a higher standard for accessibility and adaptability.
The ThinkReality VRX Gen 2 Software is built to adapt to a wide range of spatial computing applications with intuitive, customizable controls designed for diverse users. The VRX passed rigorous user testing to be sure it is accessible, comfortable, intuitive, and safe for beginners and advanced users. Unlike the consumer market, the ThinkReality VRX is ready to meet users where they are and provides a great immersive workplace experience that builds adaptability and customization into the mix.
Over two rounds of testing in 2023-2024, a diverse group of users rated the VRX accessibility, intuitiveness, and usability with a SUS score of 81, in the 90-95th percentile of all product ratings. The users many of whom wear corrective lenses, are colorblind, or have a disability affecting their upper- or lower-body mobility, rated the VRX as an “excellent” system with a grade of A.
