Yesterday in London, a new VR HMD emerged under the name Infinitus Prime tVR. The headset is the result of a collaboration between two companies—Delion Global (UK) and Quanti (Czech Republic)—who have united under the brand Infinitus Global.
The launch event took place at the Bulgari Hotel in Knightsbridge, where Infinitus Global publicly unveiled details of their debut device for the first time.
What is the Infinitus Prime?
Infinitus Prime is positioned slightly differently from its main competitors, such as Meta’s Quest series or the HTC and Valve collaboration, the Vive. Infinitus is focused on enterprise clients as their primary audience.
Use cases mentioned in the company’s press release include education, advertising, tourism, marketing, design, and engineering. To support this wide applicability, the Prime comes with modular, interchangeable lenses tailored to specific applications.
Howard Thompson, CEO of Infinitus Global, explained:
“Say you’re doing a racing simulator game with high resolution but fast motion—you may not need extreme detail. That could require a Fresnel lens. But if you’re performing remote surgery, clarity is everything. That’s where our traditional glass lenses come in.”
Designed for Heavy Use
A major differentiator for the Prime is its robustness. It’s built to withstand high-volume, repeated use. Infinitus Global was involved in every stage of its development—from design to software, firmware, and even building their own 3D printers to fabricate parts. The only outsourced component is the display.
Key Specs
- 5K resolution
- 140-degree field of view
- Approximate weight: 500 grams (final version will be lighter and more compact)
- 60Hz refresh rate (lower than the typical 75Hz standard)
Thompson noted that the current specs are conservative and the final version may exceed the listed FOV.
The Prime uses an IPS LCD display—a contentious decision given AMOLED’s advantages—but Thompson justified the choice as a trade-off in favour of pixel density and image definition.
Motion Tracking and Audio
The headset includes built-in tracking (accelerometer, gyroscope, etc.) akin to what’s found in Gear VR, but integrated directly into the device. There are no built-in headphones. Instead, users can choose their own, depending on context—such as noise-cancelling headsets in loud environments or home theatre audio setups.
Performance and Content
According to CTO Marek Polcak, the team had to build their own VR video player to handle high-resolution content:
“It plays up to 16K videos. 4K runs fluently on integrated laptop graphics. 8K is slower. For 16K, we recommend a GTX Titan.”
The headset has been tested by 30,000 users over the past three years, mainly through Polcak’s other company, Fly Prague—a VR flight simulator business. This practical testing environment informed the final design, especially the need for hardware durability.
Customisation and Multi-User Features
The Prime is highly customisable to suit enterprise clients:
- Programmable RGB LEDs for brand alignment
- Custom firmware and full-system integration available
The system can also support multiple users in the same space. Tests have run up to 18 people sharing one experience, such as watching a 3D film simultaneously, with all data buffered from a single machine.
Thompson added:
“Imagine you’re in a theatre. If your headset’s LED turns red, a steward would know you’ve run out of popcorn.”
Platform Compatibility
Infinitus Prime runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. The proprietary video player supports common formats like MP4 and VLC, and includes drag-and-drop functionality similar to Windows Media Player or iTunes.
An SDK will be released for third-party content developers.
Pricing and Availability
The Infinitus Prime starts at $3,000. Distribution will be both direct-to-consumer and through partners such as Arrow ECS in the UK, selected for their ability to provide post-sale support.
According to Thompson, 150 organisations had expressed interest prior to the launch, equating to potential orders of over 5,500 units. Preorders officially began yesterday.
A private demo with Infinitus Prime is being arranged. Stay with VR Related for our hands-on impressions soon.
