Pineal: A Standalone VR Headset

Unleashing the Third Eye of Virtual Reality

Inspired by the Pineal Gland, Mohamad Montazeri's Pineal VR Headset offers a unique and immersive virtual reality experience.

Virtual reality (VR) has revolutionized the way we interact with digital content, and the Pineal VR Headset takes this experience to a whole new level. Designed by Mohamad Montazeri, Pineal is a standalone VR headset that offers a seamless and immersive virtual reality experience without the need for a computer or mobile phone.

What sets Pineal apart from other VR headsets is its lightweight design and ease of use. Made from lighter materials, Pineal is comfortable to wear for extended periods. The ergonomics of the controllers, strap, and cushion have been meticulously improved to provide maximum comfort and support.

One of the standout features of Pineal is its unique design inspired by the Pineal gland. Located deep in the brain, between the left and right hemispheres, the Pineal gland has long been associated with the third eye. Montazeri's Pineal VR Headset embodies this symbolism, allowing users to explore the virtual world through their own "third eye."

The Pineal VR Headset boasts impressive technical specifications. With dimensions of 180.9 mm x 117 mm x 141 mm and weighing just 436 g, it offers a compact and lightweight solution for immersive VR experiences. The motion controllers, with dimensions of 87 mm x 115 mm and weighing 120 g, provide precise and intuitive interaction.

Using the Pineal VR Headset is a breeze. Simply turn on the headset, adjust the straps to fit your head, and put it on. The distance between the lenses and your eyes can be easily adjusted using the scroll wheel. The controllers connect to the headset automatically via Bluetooth, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free experience.

Montazeri's design process for Pineal involved extensive research and development. User feedback from previous VR experiences was analyzed and classified to improve the overall user experience. Ergonomic research was also conducted to enhance the design of the controllers, strap, and cushion, resulting in a more comfortable and enjoyable VR experience.

The Pineal VR Headset was not without its challenges. Encouraging users to embrace VR technology required improving the design, reducing size and weight, and enhancing the overall quality of use. Montazeri's dedication to overcoming these challenges has resulted in a standout product that pushes the boundaries of what VR headsets can offer.

Recognized for its ingenuity and excellence, the Pineal VR Headset was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Computers and Peripheral Devices Design category in 2021. This prestigious accolade is a testament to Montazeri's commitment to creating innovative designs that enhance the quality of life and make the world a better place.

Step into a world of limitless possibilities with the Pineal VR Headset. Experience virtual reality like never before and unleash your inner explorer.
