A Tourless Exhibition!

"An MR headset?"

Hearing Xu Yun's explanation,

curiosity immediately flickered in Wang Tong's eyes.

He looked the helmet up and down a few times, then asked Xu Yun with some confusion,

"Dr. Xu, if I remember correctly, MR and VR devices have generally looked like glasses, haven't they?"

As he spoke, Wang Tong gestured around his eyes to indicate a square shape.

At that, Xu Yun exchanged a glance with Lu Xiao, who was standing beside him. The corners of their mouths both lifted slightly.

MR and VR were easy to confuse conceptually, so when most people heard "MR," they pictured something much like traditional VR—an eye-covering device.

In fact, most MR devices did use a similar design.

For example, Apple's VisionPro, released last year, used MR Technology. But because it looked so much like a pair of VR goggles, many people assumed it was a VR product. Apple had even added terms like "VR" to its tags to attract more searches on e-commerce platforms.

So, in Wang Tong's mind, MR devices should all look more or less alike.

"..."

Seeing Wang Tong's confusion, Xu Yun smiled and explained,

"Brother Wang, we did initially use a VR-goggle design."

"After all, glasses are more convenient than a helmet."

"But during our in-person trials, we found that visitors wearing eye-covering devices like those were likely to bump into things while viewing the exhibits."

"So after discussing it, we came up with this design, which is similar to a full-face racing helmet. Compared with VR goggles, most people have at least worn a helmet before."

Just as Xu Yun said,

at the start of the project, Lu Xiao and the others had also designed the device to look like a traditional visor.

But during the actual trials, Xu Yun and the others quickly
