Wait for Quest... That's the holy grail ... as far as I am concerned.No other comments?
I do wonder how likely it is what we'll see a VR product with this? We've seen a good number of VR tech announcements, but it's kind of rare to get an actual productThis should be even more powerful than the pimax and Samsung Odyssey + whenever it comes out.

Through quest seems like a more improved version of the Go headset. Not sure how it compares in visuals to the Odyssey/Odyssey+.
Are you sure? An article just said as a non-PC-based system, it won't have nearly as good graphics as a PC system.This should be even more powerful than the pimax and Samsung Odyssey + whenever it comes out.

That's odd because I thought it was supposed to to be a PC based system. I'm definitely waiting for the next PC based system. I have the Odyssey right now and it's better than the rift in visuals but I guess If that google one isn't gonna be PC based the next best thing right now would be the pimax.Are you sure?

I read about it on Ars, but honestly, the only thing that interested me was the fifth camera for better inside-out camera tracking. Oh, and that it was developed in part with Lenovo... that was a interesting tidbit.wow, nobody bothered to post about the rift S.

current reddit meme: S = subpar.
the fact that rift cv1 is effectively out of production and being replaced with what is arguably a sidegrade has drawn some backlash. constellation really was a deadend so insideout being semi futureproof is nice but going down from 90hz oled to 80hz lcd and no physical ipd adjust, just seems like a downgrade.I read about it on Ars, but honestly, the only thing that interested me was the fifth camera for better inside-out camera tracking.

I'm wondering if that's their biggest reason for "cheaping out" on the new model. I think it's pretty fair to say that VR is a somewhat expensive and niche hobby. That doesn't mean it isn't fun, but it often has decent requirements and a modest cost to even buy the hardware. In that regard, one thing that I also saw in Ars's article is that they're stressing the low requirements of some VR games, which means the system only needs a 1050 to run. (They did state that some games will still need at least a 1060.)i suppose with the $400 starting price it may get lower than the $350 final price of rift cv1
Besides Superhot and Beat Saber, what are the best VR games to get into? Already played Skyrim enough in one lifetime so that's a pass unless it's really cheap.
Awkwardly enough, Valve also accidentally leaked their work-in-progress store page for the Index:valve index headset teased
https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/03/valve-index-is-the-game-makers-brand-new-vr-headset-slated-for-may-2019/
at least it has ipd adjust.
I saw some rumors on Reddit that put it at about the same as a Vive Pro.I'm not sure if the index will have better resolution than the Vive pro or Samsung Odyssey. They did not seem to list the specs.
I've been saving up for an Oculus Quest this summer (comes out May 21st, just opened for pre-orders today!), which is the standalone headset with ~PS3-level graphical capabilities built-in. Right now I have an Oculus Go (basically replaced the Samsung Gear VR with a built-in smartphone-level chip, instead of having to use your cell phone), which I pretty much exclusively use with my Virzoom bike setup for cardio workouts, plus my Vive, which is running off my 1070 system. I have a small room & haven't bothered upgrading to wireless as of yet. The Index looks really neat, but I'll probably wait until they ship from the factory with built-in wireless & foveated rendering, so I probably have another generation to go before that happens. Would be curious to try an Index in-person tho!Havent' really been keeping up on any of this, but regarding what was posted earlier pre-orders are up for the new Valve units
