Everyone jumps on board

It looks like VR has finally reached the price and quality levels that are gaining momentum. At the last Microsoft conference, it was evident that Microsoft fully embraces integration, Linux, virtual servers, services and virtual reality. This is how this headset fits. Fresnel lenses tend to give a sharp image in the center of the eye, but become fuzzy or fuzzy when you look to the side. So expect your head to be spinning to keep the image sharp. It has the highest resolution screen for the price and Valve's best speakers placed close to your ears. They don't touch the ears, but the sound moves relative to the movement of the head, creating an immersive sound atmosphere. There's a newer, more expensive model, and the next generation of headsets will track eye position and focus with absolute precision, to the point where you can't just look at objects or keys on a virtual on-screen keyboard. The connecting cable is the weak link. Use care and caution when plugging in the headset and securing with the clip. Keep the adapter on the side of the computer, as users have trouble using it directly. I think the new cable and power switch adapter will solve many cable compatibility issues. I use large loose zip ties to route the cable to the back of the headset. I can tell a lot of people are transitioning to VR right now as the rate of VR software and driver updates for betas on Steam and Microsoft is almost daily. The good news is that each version gets better. We'll see another push for VR when Windows 11 is also released to the public. Disclaimer - I have high-end AI research gear, so I'm not sure what the minimum satisfactory level of gear is. necessary. I suggest turning on motion smoothing, which allows the glasses to shift the image according to movement between computer updates. This makes for a nice, smooth ride when you look around.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
