The struggle for virtual reality headsets continues to be in their mainstream appeal. The likes of the Lenovo Mirage Solo or Oculus Go are the latest in a long series of iterative hardware updates, and the culminations of years of development focused at a streamlined user experience. Across the market, companies are working to slim down their bulky contraptions, remove excess straps and wires, and simplify designs to the point where they look more at home in a new-build living room than a futuristic junkyard.

The VR Hero Plus transcends such concerns. Caught somewhere between Ben Affleck’s Batman helmet and concept art for the Transformers anime, the VR Hero’s design is unafraid to evoke a playful, sci-fi depiction of fantasy technology. The result is a glowing visor that looks and feels full of futuristic promise.

That promise comes at a cost, however. The VR Hero Plus retails for $9,000 (around £6,700 or AU$12,000), and it’s designed primarily for commercial use rather than as a consumer product – although it would probably find its way onto a list of money-no-object ultimate tech toys.
