Vivo files multiple trademarks for smart headsets ahead of debut

Vivo has submitted trademark applications for several mixed-reality and augmented-reality devices, including “Vivo AI Glasses,” “Vivo AR,” “Vivo MR Headset,” and “Vivo MR Smart Glasses.”

The Chinese smartphone manufacturer presented its entry into the MR market at the Boao Forum for Asia, revealing its upcoming Vision headset. This device, anticipated to launch in mid-2025, represents Vivo’s first move into extended reality (XR), following the trend set by Apple’s Vision Pro.

Details about the Vision headset are currently sparse. Vivo has not released technical specifications or pricing information. Initial design indications suggest a focus on immersive entertainment, productivity, and spatial computing, aligning with features found in existing MR devices.
