The new glasses are for non-tracked spectators of the virtual 3D scene and are not fully enclosed, so the user can switch between the virtual and real world. They are also super lightweight and the arms fold away for compactness. Moreover, they sit easily in front of existing spectacles.

The new Virtalis ActiveWorks 1600 Glasses are available in two variants, infra-red or RF, so they cater for different types of VR systems. Virtalis typically supplies its glasses with its ActiveWall, ActiveMove and ActiveCube display installations.

The new Virtalis glasses are lower in price than their predecessors, enabling groups of people and even whole lecture theatre audiences to experience immersion in a virtual presentation.
