It is one of the few European players in the mixed reality headset sector. Unknown to the general public, French startup Lynx is preparing to market the first copies of its mixed reality headset: the Lynx-R1. Two models will be available from the end of April: a classic version for 849 euros and the Lynx-R1 Pro for 1,300 euros.
The only European player in a high potential segment
But before reaching this stage, the startup had to prove over several years that it was capable of designing this particularly technologically demanding piece of equipment. However, “there is a conscience”, analyzes Sébastien Lissarre. “People looking for Sony and Meta for their headsets wonder if there are players who can do this in Europe. That’s when people find us and we stand out.”
And against all odds, Lynx is the only European protagonist in this segment due to the economic resources and the scarce technical knowledge necessary for the development of this equipment that is not similar to those of the competition since “we have contributed several innovations around optics, electronics and ergonomics”, says Sébastien Lissar. If it is difficult to compete with Meta or even Apple in this segment, Sébastien Lissar aims, in the long term, to make Lynx the European champion of mixed reality.
