Well that’s pretty compelling!
Ever since the failure of Windows mixed reality, there hasn’t been many non-Meta HMD’s worth buying. At least with inside out tracking.
Maybe this will finally pressure Valve to lower the price on the venerable Index? Probably not. But one can hope!
The fact that the grossly outdated (spec wise) valve index is still $1k, 4 years after release, is fucking outrageous. That thing should be like at least half the price by now. Valve is out of their minds…
It’s still one of the, if not the, best headsets available. PSVR 2 is the only headset I know of that is better in a lot of areas than the Index but the Index definitely still has the best controllers by far.
Huh? As much as i don’t like standalone headsets, all of the current standalone headsets easily vastly outspec the index…you should look at the specs…
I.e. index is missing:
-
oled screen
-
pancake lenses
-
eye tracking
Most of the newer headsets have this and are cheaper than the index…
Aren’t there still tons of headsets? Besides multiple HTC sets, pico, and then all the tethered ones…
Linux compatibility will be my question as well. If I’m forced to sign up with PSN I’m out LOL
Hopefully it just functions as a standalone headset and doesn’t need any proprietary software…
Probably not until the Deckard comes out. Would be cool if Sony added Linux drivers for the adapter.
Doesn’t have HDR, and doesn’t have eye tracking? Those are two of its biggest selling points! What were they thinking?
Sweet! I kept saying I’d consider getting this if it had PC support, soooo maybe I’m saving up now 👀
Fyi on PCVR, this headset will NOT have HDR, Eye tracking, and other features. Kind of an important call out…
Does it require a PSN account to use the adaptor?
