Overview
About this device
The Simula One is a standalone VR headset running SimulaOS, a desktop Linux based operating system and a VR headset focused window manager. The product is intended to be used primarily as a productivity tool, with the target audience including professionals and software engineers looking to work in a VR environment.
The headset is powered by a detachable Linux-based computing unit, and can natively run x86 programs. The headset also features a tethered mode that can be used to connect the device to another PC in the absence of the included computing unit.
The Simula One's use of an intel-based x86 computing unit allows it to feature hardware normally not found in standalone headsets, including a 10-core 12-thread Intel CPU and a 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD.
