We're excited to share that the Dream Air Lighthouse edition is now shipping in significant volumes, and the SLAM version is close behind. We recently received one of the first mass production SLAM samples — it features a distinctive white exterior and four integrated cameras. Exciting progress all around.
That said, we want to keep our community fully informed on a few important updates.
Watch the video here:
New Face Mask
Many of you may have already seen the new face mask previewed in a recent MRTV video. After extensive testing across a wide range of users, the feedback has been clear: this new mask is a meaningful improvement over the previous version. The increased surface area provides noticeably better comfort and fit.
One thing to be aware of: the current mask does not include an opening for the top USB-C port. Users who need access to that port may want to wait for the halo strap, a future mask variant, or explore community modifications in the meantime.
We are currently producing the factory tooling and injection molds required for this updated mask, which takes time to do properly. Our current estimates are that new orders placed from June onward will ship with the new mask, and customers who already received the previous mask will have the new one re-issued to them in July.
Backstrap
The 3D backstrap is still being prepared for mass production and remains on track. However, new orders placed starting tomorrow will ship with the 2D backstrap only. We want to be straightforward: both straps perform well in practice. Customers who have already placed a Dream Air order will still receive the 3D backstrap as an additional accessory when it is ready.
SLAM Version Controllers
For the initial SLAM version batches, we will be shipping ringed controllers — the same design used with the Crystal, Crystal Light, and Crystal Super. Ringless controllers will be available to those orders at a later stage. Additionally, new Dream Air orders placed from tomorrow onward will include ringed controllers only. They work just as well, and we're committed to delivering the full experience to all customers over time.
