Facebook has announced the next generation of its virtual reality glasses and opened the door to pre-purchase orders. Falafel also announced its virtual reality glasses and opened the door to pre-orders to enter the competition at the same time.
The new Falaf Indix glasses are the first to be developed by Falaf itself, as its previous virtual reality glasses were developed in cooperation with HTC Taiwan.
The company began receiving pre-orders for its new glasses from Wednesday, May 1, and will be shipped to users on June 28, about a month after the two users' Facebook shipments.
While the price is very high for the virtual reality glasses market (one of which will be priced at $ 399), the company justifies the high standards of its new glasses, which it says offers a unique experience.

The company also allows the former owners of the five or five F-Pro glasses to purchase parts of the package that include virtual reality glasses, control arms and two motion tracking stations. For example, if a user has two motion tracking stations, he can buy glasses and control arms. If he has control arms and two tracking stations, he can buy glasses alone, and so on.
The glasses require a powerful personal computer, come with a five-meter link for flexibility in motion while wearing glasses, and use two laser-operated motion tracking stations to see where the user is in the room while playing and moving in a virtual reality environment.
The glasses use a pair of 1440 x 1600 LCD screens per screen, instead of using the highest-quality OLED screens used by virtual reality glasses for competing companies.
The company claims that its glasses operate faster, with a refresh rate of 120 hertz with an experimental pattern of 144 hertz, compared with 80 hertz for the new Facebook glasses.
The glasses do not have the "screen door effect" problem, which is a visual defect in the screens. The picture shows the fine lines that separate the pixels, and the blurry problem when moving the head.

The Valdex Indics also has a button to adjust the distance between the eyes and has two lenses that offer a 20-degree view of the HTC FIVE.
The glasses come with two speakers on each side that work as loudspeakers rather than two earbuds. They are designed not to touch the ears but to release sound to the head. However, the glasses come with a 3.5 mm headphone jack for those who prefer to use their own headphones.
The most important feature of the Valf Indics is the control arm. Each arm has 87 sensors to track the position of the hands, fingers and even the pressure level you press on the joystick. Theoretically the user can easily access virtual objects and capture them and throw them as he does with a real hand, something that was not available in the arms of the HTC FIVE or Acolus Touch glasses.
