I’m still jumping back and forth between Rift and O+.
Additional thoughts:
-
If you wear eye glasses (I don’t) then be super careful with scratches, as a lot less ‘eye room’ than the Rift. Something like this is pretty much essential and might as well be priced in
WidmoVR -
The sweetspot of clarity is a bit less in size than the Rift I think, although like I said before, it is exacerbated by getting a good fit, in that if it wobbles on your head then you’ll lose clarity.
-
The screen is so much better. Colors, brights, contrasts, screen door. If everything else was as good as the screen this would be a slam dunk. I do wonder if rift people are returning it without getting SteamVR resolutions and super sampling set up right first, as none of that stuff is intuitive and you could pretty much ignore it on Oculus stuff.

I am getting better at driving the SteamVR settings and using WMR. It just takes a bit of time to adjust to the new normal. I like all that crap, but can see that not all will want to go through that.

The physical IPD is limited to a minimum of 60 mm or so. If you have a small head, or want to put a Chucky Doll under there (@Tankerwade) then if your Opthalmist’s or self measured IPD is under 60 then you may have a bad time. Unlike fit with headbands, foam, chicken blood etc, there isn’t really much you can do with IPD. If it gives you headaches or blurry long distance steroscopic views then no modding will help.
For $299 a new VR purchasers I still think it’s a steal, especially when compare to what I paid for my Rift back in the day.
