2160x2160 per eye? Om my! [image] Corporations, not consumers, drive demand for HP’s new VR headset HP's second gen headsets have more resolution, more comfort, and wipe-down face cushions.

I think the used market will cover a lot of that. The early adopters will sell their headsets. And considering that I will most likely never have a top tier hardware I guess the best stuff will always be out of reach. …that’s why I am seriously thinking about the Rift S. I will definitely watch t…

Where would one demo an HP headset anyway? Is that a Microsoft Store product?

I think if you don’t have VR already then the Rift S has got to be worth a serious look.

They sold the gen 1 HP headsets in the Microsoft Store. This time around they have this ‘consumer and pro’ price split, so not sure. Sure would like a look. The trouble is in store they often do the ‘here’s Fruit Ninja on a laptop!!’, so if I did grab one for a demo I’d probably do what I did with …

If I like it, the newish O+ would go to a new desk with the old computer and Kai and Marisa would inherit that whole setup. Probably sell the Rift at that point…

I’d buy it in a heartbeat even at that price, but my primary VR use is DCS and no way my RTX2070 will run those resolutions without major barf induci…

I wonder if an option with these headsets is to ‘under sample’ until we get DCS running better or we can afford 2080 Ti’s sort of cards? Just like we over-sample on existing units, it makes me wonder what running 0.8 PD on this would look like? It might be ok, and then lets us tweak as the hardware…

Hi @fearlessfrog , I thought that was an interesting idea and had some time over lunch (working from home today). Here is what I found. I have a Lenovo Explorer headset with an i5 7600K driving a (poverty) GTX 970 . So your mileage will vary :slight_smile: I derped out and selected the “Low” prese…

[image] Anklebiter: Vulkan is a big no-show for DCS, so it looks like going to have to wait for a generation or two of cards before something like this makes sense. I don’t know how it’s called but more than raw power we need software technology to render with different quality the center of …

[image] EAF51_Jimmi: I don’t know how it’s called Foveated rendering, or imaging. Yes, this will probably be the next big thing in VR.
