Lynx R1 HANDS-ON impressions // A VR/AR headset with ambition!
I travelled to Paris to get some hands-on impressions of the LYNX R1 VR/AR headset which is currently heading towards doubling its goal on Kickstarter (link below). I made this trip with Sebastian from MRTV to spend a long day discussing and experiencing this interesting and promising headset with founder, Stan Larroque.
We also recorded a live episode of the Next Dimension podcast on location and you can also watch that on MRTV's channel here: https://youtu.be/kaVuEft721E
