Chinese company Dlodlo has developed the world’s lightest virtual reality, or VR, glasses that weigh only 88 grams and looks like conventional sunglasses, as opposed to the chunky and larger VR glasses that hit technology markets this year.

According to official newspaper China Daily, the V1 Dlodlo are not just the lightest but also the first virtual glasses to operate independently without the need for additional accessories.

“Three years ago, when I first looked into existing VR headsets, I knew that VR equipment should not be like the way it was,” said Dlodlo CEO, Li Gang.

The new glasses, with display resolution of 2,400 by 1,200 pixels, 90 Hertz update frequency and 105-degree field of view, were launched earlier this week at a New York luxury hotel in the United States.

Dlodlo, founded in 2013, is headquartered in Shenzhen in southeastern China and neighboring Hong Kong, and is considered China’s technological capital. EFE

According to the company’s bio, since its inception in 2011 Dlodlo has given top priority to the research of VR (Virtual Reality) software and hardware technologies and the development of content and applications, covering the upstream and downstream of the VR industry. With 127 patents being secured so far, Dlodlo is committed to delivering best VR products and services to consumers.

As the first-ever provider of consumer VR products in the shape of glasses in the world, Dlodlo is set to build an open VR ecosystem and Dlodlo World, a genuine virtual world, by harnessing the power of hardware, software, applications, platforms and society on the basis of VR glasses.

The company’s clever motto is “if we can’t make the future, why not make it?”
