This is the most immersive VR headset I have ever used - nothing else comes even close. In case you’re wondering, both headsets felt comfortable to wear.

Bryant Church

Former U.S. Naval Aviator

The XTAL’s wide field-of-view, high resolution optics, and seamless integration of physical controls creates that magical VR moment of presence where the brain believes what it’s experiencing is really happening. This creates effective mental and muscle memories. The increased cost efficiencies, time savings, safety margins, and accelerated learning curves over real world ops is dramatic.

Capt. Taimeir

F/A-18 Pilot

The feeling that I got while flying the F/A-18 in full VR mode is really astonishing and so close to reality to the point that I felt emotionally inside the F/A-18, which is exactly what I need for training purposes and for more military and civilian applications.

XTAL Focus Distance; Reading Glasses


Due to the wide FOV of the XTAL headset, the optical system of the headset focuses on standard reading distance. If you are using reading glasses or have any issues with reading text clearly at reading distance, you may experience issues with image clarity and readability in the XTAL headset. In that case, we recommend using dioptric compensation lenses with your XTAL headset.

Please, fill out your diopter values into the Notes field as a part of your order, and we will prepare custom compensation lenses accordingly.
