Amazing New Virtual Reality Helmet
This is the Way…
Researchers at Panasonic’s secretive Ikigai laboratories in remote Mosespa-hama, Japan have developed the world's first fully immersive virtual reality helmet.
Combining technologies cultivated from Panasonic’s leading-edge virtual reality, personal appliance, and audio products into a monolithic, self-contained wireless device, the company has created the stylish and functional Pandolorian ST-70 Extended Reality Sallet.
Flair and comfort are the forefront design considerations in this breakthrough device. The external housing is made from ultra-durable anodized Beskar and features a futuristic electrochromic “T” shaped visor that can be darkened on demand for privacy.
The interior of the helmet is an engineering marvel. The lining incorporates printed bio-sensors for monitoring the user’s body temperature and adrenaline levels. This information can be employed by a suite of AI enabled Metaverse applications. Air quality is maintained with a hyper-microfluidics circulation system that ensures the air inside the helmet is cycled every sixty seconds (which about 3 times better than the average commercial jetliner). Solid-state cooling elements ensure the wearer stays comfortable; the scalp-messaging functionality is a bonus. Nutrition and hydration tubes with durable bite valves enable users to wear the helmet for hours or even days at a time.
The Pandalorian N-1 Cataphract complementary sensor and haptic feed-back suit completes the full-body immersive, extended reality experience. In keeping with the helmet design, this unit also features anodized Beskar for the structural elements such as the breastplate and back-mounted lithium-ion battery pack. A proprietary form-fitting and breathable e-textile is used for the pliable elements ensuring maximum comfort.
The full Pandalorian ensemble will be on display at Comic Con 2022 (July 21-24, San Diego Convention Center). See if you can find the lucky Panasonian wearing this fully immersive device combination around the exhibit floor and get your very own “This is the Way” T-shirt to celebrate this breakthrough invention.

2 年This is sooo cool! VR headgear has been in need of a leap forward, and looks like the pros at Panasonic have taken it to a new level. I am thrilled. I am heading to Comic Con 22 anyway and will make it my mission to connect with the Panasonian and get my free “This is the Way” T-shirt. Heads up to my colleagues: this T-shirt is going to be worth tons because the roll-out of the Pandolorian ST-70 will be seen as a watershed moment in the history of technology. No mention of the price point, though. Either way, I am getting one. Can we pre-order? See you soon.
