UploadVR spotlights the Play For Dream MR headset, focusing on its global expansion and standout features following its CES 2025 showcase.

Play for Dream has launched a Kickstarter campaign back to 2024, to bring its Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 headset to the west, including the US. This extends availability beyond its initial rollout in Asia. The campaign offers early - bird discounts as low as

1200(retail:

2000 for 512GB, $2300 for 1TB), with first global shipments starting in December and all units expected by early 2025.

UploadVR notes the headset’s design is heavily "inspired" by Apple Vision Pro, with top - tier specs to match. It features the powerful Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip, 16GB RAM, and 512GB/1TB storage. Its dual 3840×3552 micro - OLED displays from BOE offer higher resolution than Vision Pro, plus a 90Hz refresh rate and 92% DCI - P3 color gamut.

Hardware highlights include 103° FOV pancake lenses, eye tracking, high - res color passthrough, hand tracking, and ringless controllers. At 650g, it matches Vision Pro’s weight but with better distribution—its visor alone weighs just 288g (vs. 478g for Vision Pro). The rear battery lasts over 1 hour, with an external battery adding 2.5 hours for 3.5 total hours.

UploadVR emphasizes the headset runs on its own Android - based platform and supports SteamVR streaming, appealing to gamers. With global availability now, the Play For Dream MR solidifies its position as a strong XR market contender.

“The headset features dual 3840×3552 micro-OLED displays from BOE, higher resolution than Vision Pro's Sony panels, with a refresh rate of 90Hz and 92% DCI-P3 color gamut, the same as Vision Pro.

Its pancake lenses offer a claimed field of view of 103°, and the headset has eye tracking for automatic IPD adjustment and foveated rendering.”— UploadVR
