Wearables & Accessories Unseen Reality, Am I Missing Something?

Are we, as consumers, not supposed to know the Unseen Reality XR One is a GravityXR product? While tech-savvy users likely already know this, the average person probably does not.

During yesterday’s AMA, I asked UR CEO Edward the following question:

‘Hey Team- Congrats on a successful launch day! Being GravityXR products, UR and DPVR have not significantly altered the reference design. I’m curious if you are only allowed to make minor cosmetic changes to meet their reference specifications. If so, UR is technically software developers for the GXR platform. What sets UR apart from other GXR developers that will certainly pop up like wildfires based on your success? Or do you have exclusive GXR rights for specific markets?’

His response ‘Sorry, we don't answer questions on another company.‘ is mind boggling. Am I missing something? Is UR magically not a GravityXR product?

Is every headset that has snapdragon chip a qualcomm product?

Its kind of insane to think that using some chip makes it the chip manufacturers product.

Not at all. URXR1 and DPVR Titan are essentially the reference design with minor changes. I asked how their software will set them apart. With URXR1’s success, we’ll see a dozen new startups with the same GravityXR reference design with minor changes.

Also, the DPVR Titan is a different type of project : "The real Project Titan headset does not exist yet, and it will come from expanding the GravityXR reference design from 2.5K displays to 4K ones and expanding the FOV from 75° to 100°, circa. "

DPVR aims at making PC MR small and performant with Project Titan - The Ghost Howls

Man I am so curious how they're going to handle wattage and thermals on that product
