Longer tether (and i like the HMD with tether), higher resolution per eye, no sensors needed... Sounds just like what i want. First tests (by tested in youtube f.e.) sound promissing. And at 399, i will get one for sure.
That remains to be seen.
Hardly anything is known at this point.
But unlike HTC, valve isn't broke and can afford to gamble on recouping a loss on a device through leveraging the fact that they have the steam platform.
HTC is only building the vive on valve's patents, in such no more affiliation to valve than Pimax at this point.
And HTC has been desperate to build their own software distribution platform.
Honestly surprised HTC is still a brand.
I'm half expecting them to get bouht by Amazon at this point.
I'm thinking Oculus.
Either has a second set coming for the pc.
One that actually pushes some limits and the S will be the budget HMD.
It they are focusing on pushing it to as many as possible through making a cheaper and less complicated device.
So in stead of actually going for VR 2.0 they are simply polishing 1.0.
That's honestly not going to be good enough and leaves them competing with masd WMR devices rather than the more serious devices.
Seriously partnering with Lenovo?
The maker of the least comfortable HMD in existence..
Gamers and especially people interested in VR are not afraid of complicated things and trying to make VR for those who simply aren't interested to go through an involved adjustment period from regular media is more likely to back fire than anything.
As for Oculus eco system.
Only titles I have there are robo recall and lone echo.
And I haven't played those for over a year.
No big loss there.
Epic?Except that everything Valve releases lately is complete garbage. I wouldn't be so hyped about Index.
ASW is what attracts me to this HMD: My Oddysey+ prob has superior screen to this, but WMD counterpart sucks in comparison.
I have not tried it but all the reviews I have seen are really complementary about the tracking . I would never buy a windows MR device but this seems a step up from that. Just remember us existing VR owners are not the demographic for riftS. RiftS is about getting new people into VR. IF you want an upgrade buy the £920 valve index. Oculus is trying to expand VR numbers and in that I think the rift S is a big improvementUnless you really need the 5 cameras for better tracking, the Odyssey+ seems like a way better buy for you than the S.

OK, that would be a fair comment if the Rift S had significant improvements over the CV1 in the visual department, but it doesn't. The resolution is barely higher, it uses LCD and has no hardware IPD adjustment.That's honestly a rather scrawny horse to settle on.
Yes, this is exactly my worry.Problem is.
It is a replacement.
This is the only PC rift they now make and offer for sale
Its very much true. Unless the Fps is 100% steady 90 or 45 FPS, you see a lot of artifacs and vibrations in the picture. This side effect is much less notisable with Oculus ASWBut thats just not true. In elite wmr reprojection is rock solid.
Quite.There is something to be said for a VR device that just works.
IF you want an upgrade buy the £920 valve index.
