Real progress for PCVR.

I’d be interested once it is compatible with Linux.

The first one worked with some kernel patches, there is a Discord server (Linux Adventures in VR) with lots of information about getting various headsets running in Linux.

lvra.gitlab.io is a great source of info for vr on linux. The discord server you mentioned is also bridged to Matrix for those who don’t want to use discord.

Do I still need to buy an iPhone to get it?
BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No they sell a generic facial unit that can work with almost anyone’s face now and the IPD of the lenses is configurable, so you don’t need a 3D scan of your face

Why is the resolution limited at 90hz?
There should be plenty of bandwidth to run 2x2560x2560 at 90hz. That should only be ~28.3gbps, which is less than dp 1.4 max of 32.
And it’s less bandwidth than a 4k monitor at 240hz, though that requires DSC.
KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s actually recommended to run it at 75hz, it’s a limitation of the screen, not the cable.

Does it work with glasses?
koncertejo@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
I think you can order prescription lenses with it. Maybe with the halo strap it might accommodate glasses nicely.
Dremor@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Prescription lenses are available at checkout, yes.
Blaster_M@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You order corrective lens inserts for it

If this could be used standalone, I’d be interested. Hell, I might be interested anyways since we have no idea if the valve 2 is coming out anytime.
G0ldenSp00n@lemmy.jacaranda.club 2 months ago
If you are interested in Valve you might want to wait, rumor is we get at least an announcement very soon. I say this as someone that pre-order a Bigscreen Beyond 2 though, lol.

Hasn’t this been a rumor for like a year?
KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 2 months ago
$1019 +$200 for eyetracking +$50 for orange +$120 for cushion +$129 for speaker
This reminds me of another company that recently entered the VR space. 🤔
koncertejo@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Definitely does a lot more than the Vision Pro does though, waaay more useful.
villainy@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Eh. Bigscreen isn’t new to this. I think they understand how niche they are.
paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yup, they are targeting people deep into the PCVR ecosystem. Index owners are their ideal customers. And now, people who previously purchased an Index and a Beyond.
Euphoma@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Yeah thats pretty much the beyond 1 also. Also you only really need 2 base stations
Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
That’s true! The moohan might not be that expensive for what it is if it ends up being around 2k then! I feel better about waiting for that one. :)
