Somnium VR1 modular PCVR headset is set to be released to public in 2023
We are delighted to announce that Somnium Space will reveal its latest functional DevKit and final design of VR1 headset at CES at our booth nr. 15167, Central Hall, Tech East. Visitors can have a look into the headset to test high resolution VR picture clarity and its state-of-the-art mixed reality camera modules quality and check the latest design.
Somnium VR1 is an opensource high end PCVR headset with high resolution displays, special custom non-fresnel, crystal clear lenses, eye tracking, hand tracking, high resolution pass-through cameras and a modular design allowing users to change, add or modify many parts of headset. Additionally, Somnium Space will give access to the majority of sensors allowing advanced users to create custom VR & mixed-reality applications.
Somnium VR1 will be able to upgrade with Mixed Reality Module or even a wireless connection using WiFi6 module, which will be presented at the CES show using the XTAL headset.
Full specifications are the following:
Somnium VR1 headset specifications
“We are dedicated to bringing the most versatile and robust headset on the market. This headset is aimed at enthusiasts, who want to fully own their VR hardware and those, who like to tinker with their hardware and software to get the most out of their experience. I am sure, that with such amazing visuals and industrial design, those who are true fans of VR will gladly join the community of Somnium VR1 headset owners” — says Artur Sychov, Somnium Space CEO.
“Due to supply chain constraints and more complex than expected negotiations with key suppliers, Somnium Space has decided to focus its efforts fully on a PCVR headset for its first release and postpone release of a standalone version. Somnium continues R&D for a standalone version of VR1 headset and will bring more information after official release of PCVR version in 2023” Artur Sychov adds.

The Somnium Space partnered with the leader in delivering next-generation virtual and mixed reality pilot training systems Vrgineers, Inc. and 3D printer manufacturer Prusa Research to enhance the development of a new cutting-edge open-source VR headset. This new VR headset aims to change the restrictive politics in the virtual reality market in general, which was established by big corporate and centralized entities. As a reaction to these restrictions, the Somnium VR1 headset will be built on as open and modular platform as possible. All the three companies will jointly exhibit at the booth nr. 15167, Central Hall, Tech East.
“The goal of this collaboration is to provide VR enthusiasts and the whole community the ability to make their own headset without big corporation restrictions.” explains Marek Polcak, Vrgineers CEO.
The concept of this revolutionary Somnium VR1 headset is based on the availability of the 3D headset data. The VR enthusiasts will be able to easily download the 3D parts from Prusa website and purchase electronic components, sensors, and lenses directly from Somnium not just for building their own headset but also for its future maintenance and upgrades.
The whole project is solely funded by Somnium Space and is positioned as an alternative to centralized VR hardware manufacturers with closed platforms, which are trying to limit applications and slowdown innovation.
