Bigscreen 3D prints a custom washable facial mask using a 3D scan of the customer's face, which blocks all outside light. The interpupillary distance (IPD) between the displays is configured at the factory, and cannot be adjusted, which Bigscreen cites as being due to decreasing the weight. Because the device is tuned to a particular customer, the Beyond will not fit well on other peoples' faces. An imperfect fit will lead to "a major drop in visual quality".

At a MSRP of {{US$|999}}, the Beyond does not come with SteamVR base stations or controllers. Two base stations and Knuckles controllers are an additional $580.

Road to VR, in a review, called it "the most interesting and promising new dedicated PC VR headset to come out in years", but criticized it for having no built-in audio. The Beyond is praised for its extremely light weight, at {{Convert|127|g|oz}}.
