After making a foray into the laptop segment only recently, Xiaomi is now in the Virtual Reality (VR) scene as well with its latest product, Mi VR Play.

The entry level VR headset was launched along with the its VR app in China. With this launch, Xiaomi hopes to bring the VR experience to a much wider audience. Similar to the flash sales here in India, Xiaomi did a beta testing program in China on August 1 for the VR headset where 1million people registered and few were able to buy the Mi VR Play for RMB 1 (Roughly Rs. 10). Xiaomi is planning to bring Mi VR Play in a selection of bold prints and colours. It comes with a two-way zipper that can work best with 4.7- to 5.7-inch smartphones.

Xiaomi has not yet announced the pricing for the VR headset. It has said the pricing will be announced at a later date. And we will have to wait and watch if and when the product will be available in India.
