How does the HTC Vive compare to it's competitors?
I'm pretty sure people swear by them. Apparently though, Valve Index blows everyone out of the water and even Linus says they're a pretty big jump from others. Only thing though in Australia, IM pretty sure it's going to be a wallet burner.
Still not sure if Facebooks buying up games and making them exclusives on oculous I think that was the case a while ago.
Facebook is constantly attempting to violate the privacy of Oculus users just like with everything else that they own.
Yeah the Valve Index is going to soundly trump the Oculus Rift S and the HTC Vive Pro when it releases as its combined resolution (2880×1600) and higher refresh rate (144 Hz) is going to make the image a million times better and the "Knuckles" controllers don't require you to grip them constantly as they can be strapped across the back of your hands to free up all of your fingers and thumbs for fully realistic gesturing (i.e. grabbing and releasing objects as you would in real life), which is a much, much better control scheme than any of the other VR controllers currently implemented.
I'm still waiting for the Valve Index
Yeah. Buggered they still haven’t released it to us.
Don't own either Vive Pro or Index, do own Rift, I think wireless would make up for the other shortcomings.
Can order it through a vpn - > parcel fowarder but it's probably not worth it, you're paying an extra 300-400$ and you have no australian warranty and there are supposedly some issues with the hand thingies
I'm aware, and you also highlighted the reason why I haven't yet haha
Don't worry, I was also really tempted a few weeks ago. The no aus warranty coupled with lots of reddit posts about issues made me not do it. Hopefully valve opens it up to australia early next year before alyx
I wouldn't be caught dead paying anywhere near this much for a Vive Pro in today's market.
If you do absolutely require a wireless PCVR headset, the Vive Pro and the HTC Cosmos are just about your only (officially supported) choices… but be aware both fall significantly short of other (wired) competitors in many relevant aspects.
The Vive Pro is wired from the start and the wireless adapter just untethers you.
Seeing as the Vive pro uses the same lighthouses as the Index, which is much better tracking than the inside out on the Rift S etc, what is your alleged "many relevant aspects" it lets you down?
The Vive Pro is expensive as hell, but sits alongside the Index as one of the best PC Vr experiences you can get.
It did a year ago, but not today IMHO. The screen clarity is not even on par with the Rift S, let alone something like the HP Reverb or one of the newer Pimax headsets… Screen door effect and unreadable pixelated text were huge issues with early VR headsets, but nobody needs to deal with them in late 2019.
Vive wands are also the worst in class, as is HTC customer support.
If lighthouse tracking is a requirement for you, you can get an Index kit at about the same price as this. Or you can get a Pimax HMD on Amazon and someone's old OG Vive kit on gumtree and have 500-1000 left to spend.
The Vive pro has more pixels and a higher refresh rate than the Rift S. There is not a single measure the Rift S beats it on from refresh rate, FOV, raw pixel count or anything.
There's very very few people complaining about screen door effect in a Vive Pro and huge numbers of people praising it for eliminating it as a problem from the original Vive.
Vive wands and trackers have far better sub mm tracking than anything from Oculus or WMR.
You're just parroting off crap without any basis in reality at all.
The Index is a beautiful headset, no one denies it at all.
The Vive pro is just below it.
Pimax 5k has a wider FOV than the Vive Pro and woefully underperforms it in pretty much every stat you can throw at it.
It's less bright, blurrier and uses a pentile display that makes SDE worse than ever. It has inconsistent focus across the entire display and blurred edges.
@timps: The pentile subpixel arrangement which you correctly claim "makes SDE worse" is used in the Vive Pro as well. In fact is is the single reason why the Vive Pro looks like garbage compared to the Rift S despite having a higher resolution.
Why are you sitting here trying to talk people into spending 2 grand on obsolete technology when you don't even seem to know the products most basic specifications?
If you really think the Vive Pro "solves" SDE, you have never tried a single VR headset launched in 2019.
This is only a good deal if you absolutely want a vive pro. Fact is, this is valve index type money (obviously the valve index will be wired, though).
You'd be better off spending the money on a ceiling pulley system than spend this much on wireless just yet…
If your spending this money get an index from the US parcel forwarded. I have a Vive Pro and Oculus Quest and can say hand on heart the Oculus Quest with Link cable is on par if not better than the Vive Pro because there is no need to setup lighthouses. SDE is similar.
Vive Pro, although good with the TPCast your paying for last gen VR tech at a still astronomical price
Can't recommend the wireless adaptor enough. :)
