Vive XR Elite is the Flow remastered to deliver an immersive XR experience with a convertible dual-system architecture. Users can switch from All-in-Two (AIT) to All-in-One (AIO) mode utilizing the battery cradle attachment for activities requiring active moment and ergonomic support, adding up to two hours of battery life. The challenge was downsizing the XR Elite from its predecessor, Flow, while integrating a patented dual-spring hinge, four tracking cameras, RGB passthrough, and structured light. By overcoming optical constraints and thermal demands, we achieved a refined, compact design that preserved the dual-lens aesthetic and met our battery life goals.
