FOV
116°
Beyond 2 delivers an incredibly wide field of view , surprisingly wider than VR headsets such as the Meta Quest 3 and Valve Index. This reduces the tunnel vision effect, allowing you to see more of your virtual world at once with greater immersion.
The above comparison is for illustrative purposes and may differ from real-world performance. Actual results may vary. Bigscreen Beyond 2 measured at 116° diagonal, 108° horizontal, 96° vertical. Valve Index measured at 114° diagonal, 110° horizontal, 110° vertical. Meta Quest 3 measured at 110° diagonal, 108° horizontal, 99° vertical. Measured using WIMFOV at minimum eye relief and default accessories.

Over 13.1 million pixels are packed into dual 1-inch OLED displays in an RGB striped layout. Each pixel is just 7.2 μm wide – 7 times thinner than a human hair – with response times measured in nanoseconds. The result? No more screen door effect, dull colors, gray shadows, or motion blur you became accustomed to with older-generation LCD-based VR headsets. Beyond supports 75Hz and 90Hz refresh rates.
Dual micro-OLED displays
Over 13.1 million pixels are packed into two 1-inch OLED displays in an RGB striped layout. Each pixel is just 7.2 μm wide, 7 times thinner than a human hair, with response times measured in nanoseconds. The result? No more screen door effect, dull colors, gray shadows, or motion blur you became accustomed to with older and cheaper LCD-based VR headsets. Beyond supports 75Hz and 90Hz refresh rates.
In dark scenes, pixels don’t just go dim. They turn off.
OLED shuts black pixels off completely. There is no backlight and no gray glow. This makes a massive difference for VR. Because you are actually inside the scene, true darkness makes the virtual world feel entirely real.

Scan your face once with your iPhone and the Custom-fit Cushion is made to match it exactly: even pressure across the seal, no light leak, and the lightest, most precise fit Beyond offers.

Beyond 2e features integrated eyetracking with incredibly tiny camera sensors the size of a grain of sand. Our advanced AI and computer vision research has resulted in a state-of-the-art pupil model, with inference running on AMD and NVIDIA GPUs.
Expression in social VR
Enhance your avatars in applications like VRChat with eyetracking to communicate body language cues like attention and gaze.
Dynamic foveated rendering
Now available in early access, this technique uses eyetracking to focus GPU power exactly where you look. By reducing resolution in the edges of your vision, it lowers PC workload and improves performance in demanding titles.
Camera access and APIs
In addition to Bigscreen's native eyetracking software, open camera access and APIs enable developers and 3rd-party tools like EyeTrackVR.

★★★★★Apr 2026
“Blew me away out of the box. Going from a Vive 1.0, the comparison is night and day. Games are clear, the headset is lightweight and easy to wear for hours, and the mic is crisp.”
★★★★★Sep 2025
“Best headset I’ve ever used. Tried the HP Reverb, Valve Index, Shiftall Meganex 8K Superlight, and this.”
★★★★★Nov 2025
“It’s light on your face, the screens are awesome. The only downside with the headset would be the color washing out on the extreme edges of the screens. 10/10 would buy again.”
★★★★★Dec 2025
“Generally no issues and it’s my daily driver now over the Quest 3. If you play a lot of VRChat, watch media, and want a light headset, this is it.”
★★★★★Jan 2026
“Coming from the HTC Vive Pro 2 was a shockingly better experience. The light weight and clarity of the Beyond 2 far surpasses headsets claiming higher resolution. A must have for flight sim lovers.”
★★★★★Feb 2026
“What a difference to my Valve Index! I use it for VR racing on a 6DOF simulator and it’s just the best combination for me to train in wintertime to get better in real racing during summer.”
★★★★★Oct 2025
“Better FOV than the 1. Better lenses, and my eyetracking is working pretty well after messing with it for 10 minutes.”
★★★★★Feb 2026
“After trying several different headsets for MS Flight Simulator and DCS World, my search has finally come to an end. The optics, the clarity, the panels and, most of all, the weight and form factor.”
