    $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. 🤔

      Definitely does a lot more than the Vision Pro does though, waaay more useful.

      Eh. Bigscreen isn’t new to this. I think they understand how niche they are.

        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.

      Yeah thats pretty much the beyond 1 also. Also you only really need 2 base stations

      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. :)

    Another look: m.youtube.com/watch?v=gbFU6KoEASU

    This might be what gets me to finally purchase VR

    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?

    source
    • 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.

      source
      • Dremor@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Prescription lenses are available at checkout, yes.

        source
    • 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.

    source
    • 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?
