The long-awaited launch of The Beast in late 2025 marked a technological milestone, featuring an upgraded optical architecture and next-generation display system that will serve as a cornerstone of VITURE's 2026 roadmap.

Cultural Momentum: Cyberpunk Collaboration

In December, VITURE partnered with CD Projekt RED to release a serialized limited-edition XR collaboration celebrating the fifth anniversary of Cyberpunk 2077.

The limited run of Luma Cyber XR Glasses quickly sold out, further strengthening VITURE's cultural footprint within gaming and immersive entertainment communities. A wearable collectible. A display masterpiece. A slice of Night City — made real.

Strategic AI + AR Collaboration with NVIDIA & Stanford

Beyond consumer hardware, VITURE is also expanding into enterprise and medical applications.

In October, VITURE announced a joint initiative with NVIDIA and Stanford Medicine, combining AR and AI technologies to streamline laboratory workflows and accelerate research processes.

The collaboration was briefly featured in Jensen Huang's keynote last October — a moment that VITURE considers a meaningful milestone, standing alongside innovations shaping the future of technology. The initiative will also be showcased at the upcoming NVIDIA GTC, further positioning VITURE at the intersection of spatial computing and artificial intelligence.

Official Statement Regarding XREAL Litigation

As an official response to XREAL's litigation, VITURE confirms that it has already taken affirmative legal action to protect its rights. This includes initiating patent infringement proceedings against XREAL in China, as well as separate legal action addressing false and harmful statements made by XREAL concerning VITURE and its products.

While VITURE did not seek to be drawn into litigation, the company will not hesitate to enforce its intellectual property rights and pursue all appropriate legal remedies available under applicable law.

If the court rules in VITURE's favor, potential remedies may include injunctive relief restricting the manufacturing and export of all XREAL products utilizing the electrochromic film technology, along with other corrective measures as permitted by law.

With respect to the patent infringement claims recently brought by XREAL in the United States, VITURE has retained Cooley LLP, a leading international litigation firm, as counsel. VITURE's official position is as follows:

We believe the claims lack merit. VITURE has independently developed its products and respects valid intellectual property rights. We will address these matters through the appropriate legal process while remaining focused on delivering innovative products and serving our customers.

VITURE stands confident in its technology, its intellectual property portfolio, and its long-term vision for advancing the XR industry.

Eyes on 2026

With exponential year-over-year growth and strong institutional backing, VITURE enters 2026 positioned not only as a leading XR hardware company, but as a broader spatial computing platform shaping the future of work, entertainment, and AI integration.

The newly secured funding will accelerate next-generation product development, global expansion, and deeper strategic collaborations across the XR ecosystem. It will also support the launch of the new product line, VITURE's next evolution in intelligent spatial experiences, ushering in a new category of connected lifestyle technology.

As spatial computing moves from niche to mainstream, VITURE is positioned at the forefront — redefining how people see, interact with, and experience digital worlds in everyday life.

Unisound Unveils U1-OCR: The First Industrial-Grade Document Intelligence Model, Ushering in OCR 3.0 Era

BEIJING, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisound has officially launched its Unisound U1-OCR, the world's first industrial-grade foundation model for document intelligence, a groundbreaking release that ushers in the OCR 3.0 era and sets a new industry standard with five core strengths: SOTA performance, verifiable results, out-of-the-box functionality, efficient deployment, and robust adaptability.

Document intelligence leverages AI to automatically read, understand, classify digitized documents and extract key information. OCR 1.0 only enabled basic text recognition, while OCR 2.0 added preliminary layout understanding capabilities. U1-OCR takes a quantum leap to OCR 3.0, moving far beyond layout recognition to deliver deep semantic insight, automatic document classification and business-level information extraction—marking a transformative shift from "character perception" to "document cognition".

As a SOTA-level document intelligence model, U1-OCR resolves the longstanding bottleneck of traditional models that "recognize text but fail to grasp layout", enabling it to interpret complex documents like human experts. It pioneers a "semantic-driven + dynamic focus" strategy, first mapping a document's hierarchical structure of headings and structural metadata before extracting content on demand, and builds a semantic map to identify the relationship between titles, charts and text—even in disorganized layouts. Its enhanced spatial alignment module leverages positional data to accurately restore document structure for dense tables and mixed text-image content, effectively mitigating spatial recognition errors. Equipped with Multi-Token Prediction technology and full-task reinforcement learning, it boosts reasoning efficiency by over 80%, ensuring logical coherence for long documents.

Trained with multi-task collaborative reinforcement learning and optimized for both semantics and coordinates, U1-OCR suppresses spatial hallucinations for reliable outputs, and achieves SOTA results across major authoritative benchmarks: scoring 95.1 in OmniDocBench V1.5, outperforming leading models like GLM-OCR and Gemini-3-Pro; hitting an F1 score of 90.8 in D4LA and 95.9 in DocLayNet, excelling in table recognition and cross-page association; and outperforming models such as Gemini-2.5-Flash and Qwen-2.5-VL in internal business tests, with standout performance in medical document processing such as admission and discharge records.

Built for real-world industrial applications, U1-OCR features four key capabilities that bridge the gap between document understanding and business action. Its proprietary "coordinate-text-semantics" architecture enables pixel-level positioning and full evidence traceability, making audit processes transparent and efficient. Integrated with Unisound's industry expertise in healthcare and finance, it achieves over 99% classification accuracy for more than 50 common business documents, supporting cross-field logical verification with zero-shot capabilities. It supports private on-premise and offline deployment while delivering highly efficient document processing, meeting strict data privacy requirements for government, healthcare, and finance sectors while lowering hardware costs. Most notably, it delivers stable, high-precision performance in extreme scenarios—including non-standard photos, blurred documents, complex formatting and multilingual text—freeing businesses from reliance on standardized document formats.

Validated in real-world use cases, U1-OCR enables visual traceability of extracted information, automatic classification of mixed documents, performing intelligent image purification for cluttered layouts, and accurate recognition of complex nested tables with full structural retention.

The launch of U1-OCR marks AI's evolution from simple text recognition to business logic comprehension, a key step for Unisound toward AGI. By taking multimodal documents as a knowledge entry point, Unisound is empowering machines with autonomous reasoning and evidence traceability capabilities, driving AI from perceptual intelligence to cognitive intelligence—with the vision to build a general intelligent agent that reads, thinks and solves complex problems like humans, turning every document into a stepping stone to AGI.
