Design
1.Can be used wirelessly
✖Samsung HMD Odyssey Plus
Wireless devices allow users more freedom of movement.
2.adjustable IPD
✔Samsung HMD Odyssey Plus
Interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance between the center of your eyes. Without adjustable IPD, the lenses of a VR headset may not line up with your pupils, which can result in eye strain and nausea.
3.weight
594g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
4.volume
2728.51cm³
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
5.thickness
129.03mm
We consider a thinner chassis better because it makes the product more compact and portable. Thinness is a feature highlighted by many manufacturers of mobile devices, but it is essential for a wide range of products.
6.height
109mm
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product. We consider a smaller height better because it assures easy maneuverability.

2.field of view
110°
