Bigscreen says it sold more Beyond 2 headsets in the first 24 hours than it did Beyond 1 in its first 6 months.

It says this represents ten times as many Beyond 2 headsets as compared to Beyond 1's launch day two years ago.

The startup also said yesterday that it outsold Beyond 1's first day in just 25 minutes, and its first 2 months in just 4 hours.

New orders of Beyond 2 and Beyond 2e will now ship in June, compared to April and May for the first batches respectively.

Bigscreen Beyond 2 and Beyond 2e were announced and went on sale yesterday. Compared to the original, Beyond 2 adds clearer, wider lenses with independent IPD adjustment, all while actually weighing 20 grams less, and Beyond 2e also adds eye tracking via just 1.05 grams of tiny sensors.

The original Bigscreen Beyond is used by 0.45% of SteamVR users, around 1 in 200. We'll keep a close eye on the adoption of Beyond 2 in the coming months, with its initial sales velocity suggesting it might surpass the original by the end of the year.

I saw a review of this and it’s crazy tiny! Obviously expensive with their highest tier coming in at nearly $1400, but this is the first headset that looks properly futuristic.

And from what the review said, it’s a seriously high quality output.
