Review on ๐ŸŒ HTC Vive Cosmos Elite VR System - Compatible with PC, Mac, and Linux by Bach แ Œ

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Expectations were not met, average quality.

I took the helmet at a discount, for 74,000. As a result, after almost six months of use, I can not recommend it for purchase. Unless it costs thousands like that . 50. Yes, Half-Life Alyx is awesome (by the way, almost the only full-fledged single-player game for VR), but after an hour of "soap" in the eyes, I donโ€™t even want to return to it . Pros below: 1. Image quality with very big reservations, which are discussed below. After all, this is a VR helmet, and if you havenโ€™t seen such a miracle before, then the first 2-3 days of crazy delight is guaranteed. The mosquito net effect is almost invisible. 2. Tracking is very good. If you place the base stations correctly. 3. More or less convenient controllers. Has cons: 1. In my opinion, this device has a lot of disadvantages, and the most important of them is the picture quality. Everything seems to be fine with the picture in the eyepieces, until you realize that it is slightly, just a little bit out of focus. Everything around is a little blurry, no matter how you rub your helmet on your face. And it's a disaster. It is impossible to play anything for more than an hour, the eyes just flow out. Moreover, the whole real world also becomes out of focus for some time after playing some "Aluh". Adjusting the interpupillary distance does not help. If you press the helmet closer to your eyes with your hand, the clarity increases, but itโ€™s impossible to do this with the help of the helmet itself. Unless you tape it to your head. 2. Claimed viewing angle of 110 degrees. Feels like there's not even 90 here. The spyglass effect in all its glory. But you can get used to this, unlike the first drawback. 3. Manufacturers did not bother to put a normal step-by-step instruction for installing software for a helmet in the box. Because of this, you may have enough "contras" when you come from the store with an expensive toy, connect it to your computer and install the VivePort program, you suddenly find that the helmet does not seem to work. At all. Who knew that this program itself cannot determine the presence of a connected helmet, as well as automatically download drivers. In the yard, the beginning of the 00s, the technique is still stupid, everything is logical. 4. Extremely uncomfortable headphones attached to the headband. It is solved by connecting your own, normal "ears" to the 3.5 mm jack provided for this. Thank you for this though. 5. Few buttons on controllers. 6. Overpriced.

I think I'll have to take tripods . And if you don't get hung up on this, then I'm delighted.
