Vireo Interfaces
Input devices engineered for immersive computing
Our Mission
At Vireo Interfaces, our mission is to unlock the potential of head-mounted displays for productive work by introducing high-performance input devices specifically designed for interacting with immersive virtual realities.
Foremost, this means enabling tactile and dexterous interaction with 3D virtual objects while ensuring the user can move freely about the virtual space.
Simultaneously, it means guaranteeing pointing and text entry performance that meets or exceeds the standards set by traditional desktop input devices.
Existing virtual reality input methods are designed for entertainment and media consumption, and traditional keyboards and mice are designed for users sitting at a desk and interacting with 2D content.
Our input devices will enable immersive computing to grow into its niche in the productivity space, empowering users to explore, create, and connect in ways previously unimagined.
