The Varjo XR-4 Focal Edition (2023) builds on the XR-4 Fixed Focus platform by introducing an advanced gaze-driven autofocus passthrough camera system, designed to closely mimic human eye behavior. This enables near-to-far clarity when interacting with both virtual content and real-world objects, delivering exceptional visual acuity for demanding professional workflows.

With up to 51 pixels per degree (PPD), the XR-4 Focal Edition offers a level of visual fidelity comparable to human vision—digitally optimized. It is purpose-built for professional training and simulation environments where precision, depth perception, and interaction with physical components are critical, such as cockpit training, industrial simulation, medical procedures, and advanced R&D use cases.

The XR-4 Focal Edition supports inside-out positional tracking by default and ships with (2) Varjo Controllers for immediate deployment. Optional SteamVR outside-in tracking can be added for environments requiring the highest level of positional accuracy.

Please note: this product can only be sold to an organization or business. A valid EIN / TAX ID is required.

A valid Varjo software subscription is required to use the device.
Every XR-4 user must have a Varjo account and an active Varjo software license. Read more here.
