MicroOLED displays
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.
Unparalled clarity with custom pancake optics
We designed a next-generation 3-element lens composed of glass, plastic polymers, films, and coatings that results in a smaller, lighter form factor and massively improved optical clarity compared to older-generation single-element Fresnel lenses.
Hear it from the experts
“The Bigscreen Beyond is a truly next-gen VR headset, small, lightweight, and custom-fitted to your face. I’m finally excited about VR again!”
“This is my preferred PC VR headset.
It's a no brainer to pick up Bigscreen Beyond. I love watching movies in this thing”
“Numbers can't quantify an experience. And in my time with the Beyond, I've had some of the absolute best experiences I have ever had in VR.”
“This is what I imagined VR would look like in, say, five years from now. But it's in my hands, here today.”
“The picture looks amazing, there's no question about it. The comfort is so perfect, and there's no light leakage whatsoever. Also, there's absolutely no mura here. This has so much going for it.”
“Oddly wonderful. This is the most comfortable VR experience I've had so far, and it mirrored trying VR again for the first time. That sense of magic all over again.”
“Seriously can't get over how crisp this looks. The colors are so rich. The comfort is insane. The microphone is really good. As a content creator, this is a godsend. Overall, I absolutely love this headset.”
“I was really amazed at how sharp the [visuals] could be. Felt like a cut above the VR I'd been used to even today.”
“It is just such a striking difference to feel so little weight on your face while still feeling entirely transported to a virtual environment. It feels like a cold glass of water on a hot day.”
“The most true-to-life virtual reality experience I've ever had so far. And I tried pretty much every headset available out there. It still gives me that wow effect every time I wear it.”
Custom-built for ultimate comfort
The headset is built to the shape of your face, and aligned to the position of your eyes to provide unparalleled comfort and clarity
1
Scan your face using our app
After you order your headset, we'll email you to begin the 3D face scanning process. This requires an Apple iPhone XR or newer, as the face scan utilizes the TrueDepth sensor. Our software generates a detailed sub-millimeter precision 3D mesh of your face in order to achieve a perfect fit.
2
Measuring your face shape and IPD
The scan takes 5 minutes. Our computer vision technology measures the distance between your eyes (interpupillary distance, or IPD) and the contours of your face. The headset is built to your IPD to ensure the optics line up with your eyes, and a custom foam cushion is built to the shape of your face.
3
Manufacturing your custom-fit cushion
After the scan is verified by our team, our factory in Los Angeles, Calif. begins building your cushion. Due to the custom-built nature of Beyond, it may take a few weeks or months to manufacture and fulfill your orders. Once the cushion is made, it's paired with a headset of your IPD size and shipped directly to you.

Questions?
We take pride in optimizing for quality, pushing the bounds of comfort, and respecting data privacy. If you have any questions regarding our face scanning and cushion manufacturing process, email us.
The result? A face cushion that fits you perfectly.
Enhanced immersion with no more light leakage, and comfortable to wear for hours.
The perfect fit • Like nothing else
Weight is evenly spread across the contours of your face, gently distributing pressure across your nose, cheeks and eyebrows. This prevents headaches and discomfort, typically caused by too much pressure on your face from heavy headsets.
Easy to clean • Skin-safe materials
We've designed a foam cushion material that is skin-safe, non-porous, and comfortable. VR headsets can get dirty with use. The Beyond face cushion doesn't absorb sweat, and is easy to keep clean: just handwash gently with dish soap.
Fully immersed • No light leakage
With a perfectly fitting face cushion, there is no more light leakage in VR. This enables ultimate immersion, as you're no longer distracted by light and objects in in your surrounding.
Easy to share • Magnetic frame
Share your headset with friends and family by ordering an extra custom-fit cushion for them. The cushion snaps onto the headset easily thanks to magnets embedded in the frame. This makes it easy to swap cushions when sharing your VR headset with friends.
Beyond comes in 18 sizes, from IPD 55mm-72mm
The fixed IPD reduces significant weight, and ensures your eyes are perfectly aligned with the optics, enhancing comfort and reducing eyestrain.

Every detail matters
Stereo Microphones
Voice is one of the most important elements in a VR headset. Beyond has an array of studio-grade microphones with high-end components and membranes that provide astounding sound quality. This provides high-fidelity audio without plosives, compression, or artifacts in multiplayer games and social VR.
Proximity Sensor
Beyond features a tiny proximity sensor near the nose. This sensor detects when the headset is being worn. When not worn, the displays automatically turn off, preventing screen burn-in and prolonging the life of the headset.
5m Fiber Optic Cable
The headset is powered by a custom, ultra-lightweight 5-meter fiber optic cable that connects to the USB-C port on the left side of the headset. The cable is easy to remove or replace. The cable connects the headset to a Link Box. The Link Box has a DisplayPort cable and two USB 3.0 cables, which connect to the PC.
USB-C Accessory Port
The USB-C port on the right side of the headset connects to Beyond's Audio Strap or other 3rd-party accessories such as USB-C to 3.5mm audio jack adapters and headphones. The port provides power and USB 2.0 data speeds to accessories, and is capable of driving high-end high-impedance headphones.
Here's what Beyond owners think about their experience.

Just wow...!
I was playing Microsoft flight Sim yesterday for 3 hours... Let me make something clear... The longest I could ever play VR for was about an hour and after that hour it would be actually painful to keep playing... Long sestions in racing with a index on was actually a job to do! Lol. It would get so uncomfortable that finishing races Read More

Incredible, game changer - 4.9/5
After using this a lot, I still pull off the device and think "there's no way I was just immersed in VR in this tiny device." It feels unreal how high quality it is and how small it is. 4.9/5 for some comfort stuff. My eyelashes touch the screen, and the feel where the 3D print is perfect to your face, a "swimming goggles" feeling, Read More

100 hours in Beyond
I have been a VR gamer since 2016 and I was super pumped to get my headset. It is the lightest headset, most comfortable and had amazing clarity. No headset is perfect, but this comes pretty darn close. If you are in the Lighthouse ecosystem and want an amazing upgrade, buy this headset. You’ll be happy you did.

The next gen headset
Coming from the Quest Pro, you can immediately see the image quality difference between the two. Most definitely the most comfortable headset I've worn, also easy to rest it on your forehead to see outside. I also feel it's easier to store and take out because of it's small size. I will say initially Read More
