YVR 2 with Landmark Pancake Optics—A New Era for VR Headsets

July 12: PFDM’s flagship brand YVR announced YVR 2—a new VR headset with disruptive optics, high-end hardware, powerful self-developed algorithms, and cutting-edge design for a revolutionary VR experience. It is the world’s first retail Pancake ultra-short-focus VR all-in-one—addressing industry pain points and upgrading comfort and immersion.

Huang Feng, Founder and CEO of PFDM, said: “YVR aims to build metaverse infrastructure, always driven by ‘play your dreams’ and great user experiences—working with global partners to open the door to the metaverse.”

Ultra-clear and thin: Pancake optics define the next all-in-one

YVR 2 adopts Pancake ultra-short-focus optics for a breakthrough in clarity and slimness. Multi-lens folded optics overcome Fresnel edge blur and distortion and reduce edge glare—details stay sharp across the field.

Pancake optics and proprietary curved film yield an optical engine only ~20 mm thick—about 50% thinner than traditional Fresnel engines. The whole device is as thin as 42 mm. Dual Fast-LCD, 1058 PPI, 90 Hz, 95° FOV deliver fluid visuals.

Flagship specs—beyond ordinary

YVR 2 pushes hardware toward a new high-end bar for China: Snapdragon XR2, 8 GB LPDDR5, 128 GB / 256 GB UFS 3.1—fast and efficient. A 5300 mAh battery supports about 2.5 hours of continuous gaming.

YVR 2 is among the first to bundle a GaN fast charger for headset and controllers charging together—compact, efficient, and portable.

With green tech and ergonomics in mind, controllers are rechargeable at only ~108 g—comfortable for long play, up to ~35 hours. Rechargeable design avoids contact issues during intense motion versus disposable batteries and reduces waste.

Bold design—humanity in hardware

Inspired by pilot sunglasses, the 42 mm slim body uses high-pressure composite on the front shell—prism shine, flowing curves, bold style. YVR 2 is the only domestic headset with both Red Dot and iF.

Guided by great experiences, details matter: Babyskin-feel paint, magnetic removable facial interface, and glasses-friendly wear.

For comfort and fit: a 3:2 rear counterweight, adjustable rear pad, and nose piece that reduces light leak—fitting more face shapes, especially Asian users.

【Ergonomics tested and tuned】

Enjoy without limits—freedom and fun

Fast, precise tracking drives immersion. Self-developed head and hand 6DoF offers low latency, high accuracy, robustness, and wide range—controllers cover ~270° horizontal and ~210° vertical. Head 6DoF supports walking, jumping, and more.

YVR’s self-built UI is minimal and friendly—with Composite Layer rendering for clearer UI and system-level social: friends list, online status, and in-game voice.

【Self-developed OS with social features】

“Beyond hardware and software, YVR grows content with developers,” Huang Feng emphasized. “Through a premium content strategy, we link the ecosystem for a rich content universe.”

YVR is building games, fitness, culture, education, and more—including Arizona Sunshine, Synth Riders, Zombieland: Headshot Fever, Inspiration Brush, Universe Decode 2, and fitness app Punch in Q3—more to come.

Innovation together—play dreams with more people

Since 2021, global giants have doubled down on the metaverse—VR as a key interface is widely seen as the gateway. China’s share of global VR shipments still has room to grow.

“Technology is core—and YVR’s path,” Huang Feng said. YVR built a global, high-level team across hardware, software, algorithms, optics, and industrial design—among China’s strongest independent VR teams—with AI talent from Silicon Valley and China and many patents.

Amid growing demand, YVR 2 targets ultimate experience and helps China’s VR hardware catch up globally.

“We partner with industry leaders for higher quality and standards,” Huang Feng said. YVR works with Qualcomm, Pegatron, 3M, BYD, JDI, OFILM, and others.
