INSPIRATION:
Arges is a virtual reality headset. Its name means “bright” and is inspired by one of the three one-eyed Hesiodic Cyclops in Greek mythology. Arges is the single eye symbol for entering the world of virtual reality.

PROJECT EXPLANATION:
The headset is slightly smaller and therefore lighter than conventional models. Also, designing a new form for motion controls have made them lighter and more ergonomic. For improving the ventilation during using the device the quick-drying and breathable fabric materials are selected for the headset cushion and straps. All this makes the user do not get tired and do not feel the presence of the product during long use of the product.
OPERATION / INTERACTION:
Using this product is very simple. This product is automatically connected to its motion controllers, and this interaction between the components, along with the simple configuration paths embedded in the product, makes the experience of using this product comfortable and enjoyable for the user. Just push the power button on the headset and turn it on. The power button is on the left side. Also, there is a lens adjustment button below the headset. The headset also has a USB Type-C port, a small light, on the front, and adjustable straps. Each motion controller has three buttons to click to select, position and adjust the position. To connect to a computer or other digital device and transfer data, you can use the USB Type-C port on the left side of the product or connect to a Wi-Fi network.
