Review on πŸ‘“ Samsung HMD Odyssey VR Headset for Windows Mixed Reality by Haissam Abo Fahd ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's the best purchase I ever made, I will definitely do it again.

All in all, this VR kit is great, only the valve index is better. The conclusion is based on the comparative characteristics of this helmet, HTC Vive (not pro) and Valve Index. The main gain is in the price of the product. Its pros: - Optimal in terms of price-quality ratio. - Adjustment of distance between lenses, gives the chance of partial focusing. - Pretty long cord, enough for indoor 2v2 play (I play Alyx standing up). - Minimum equipment - only a helmet with a wire and controllers, no cameras need to be hung) - A very comfortable helmet, not very heavy (but for more than 2 hours in a row it puts a little pressure on the forehead, I will write about this in the shortcomings). - The sound in the headphones is quite normal by my standards. - Wide viewing angle, high resolution. Cons below: - The image is not perfect, in the SteamVR virtual office, if you look at a light background, it is as if you are looking at a canvas. But in games you no longer notice this, in Alyx, for example, everything is magical. - The helmet itself, although not heavy, but after a few hours of playing, there is still pressure on the forehead. To relieve pressure, a strap (odyssey strap) was invented, it is attached to the rim of the helmet, like a crossbar. You can also make it yourself if you wish. - Not all VR-enabled games go to WMR.
