LYNX-R2

The LYNX-R2 is a standalone mixed reality headset designed primarily for industrial, medical, research, and professional applications. The device combines computer-generated imagery with a color image of the real environment transmitted by passthrough cameras.

The headset utilizes a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory, 128 GB of internal storage, and the LynxOS operating system based on Android and the OpenXR standard. It operates independently, without the need for a permanent connection to a computer.

Two LCD displays with a resolution of 2312 × 2160 pixels and a 90 Hz refresh rate work with curved pancake lenses. The manufacturer claims a field of view of 126° horizontal and 103° vertical, which is a key feature of the R2 design.

The headset also features open access to data from cameras and sensors. The manufacturer provides synchronous access to raw data via the Lynx API, which may be important for computer vision laboratories, AI teams, robotics teams, and developers of custom spatial applications.

Who is the LYNX-R2 intended for?

The LYNX-R2 is primarily intended for organizations that require an independent mixed reality platform without dependence on consumer services, Google accounts, or a closed ecosystem.

Potential customers include:
