Man, I was hoping to see more compact VR headsets further down the line. Glad to see the support for VR is still going. If it turns out to be great I'd be willing to sell my Valve Index for this. Such a clean trailer as well, really well made. Didn't expect Bigscreen to start making headsets but I'm down for it.

[@AloysiusVelocitor]

This is actually aimed Directly at the Index user that’s ready for an HMD upgrade. Notice that’s All BigScreen is developing ATM, just the HMD (the sound strap doesn’t really count IMO). The controllers are Index, and the device is made For SteamVR.

[@niloticshadow]

​@@AloysiusVelocitor Ah, I see. The overall specs seems impressive to me. Although I would have liked to have those off-ear headphones since the quality on those are amazing, and how you're able to hear everything without it pressing onto your head was a nice idea that I wish other companies could pick up on. But I guess the durability of those may concern some. Also, I've noticed that the FOV is somewhat smaller on this device so I hope that doesn't take away from the experience that people are used to with the Index. But if the resolution and the screen quality in general can provide a greater experience in watching movies or playing games on apps like Bigscreen then I'm excited to see more from this. Especially if it's able to stay cool throughout a session since most headsets tend to get hot after a while. The Valve Index is still a decent device but I feel like VR just isn't there yet for that kind of experience.

[@Ghostly_scarf]

The fact that this is a PCVR headset is actually really nice to see (coming from a standalone user). There may be downsides but this is what’s going to push the vr industry further!

[@TheHellkapRides]

Actually, this is great, but, not for me. Cordless only. What VR needs is Meta to give us Quest, 3, 4, then 5...about that time, it will be fantastic!!!

[@Ghostly_scarf]

@@TheHellkapRides Thats understandable but I shouldve mentioned how its competition in the general VR market, (sort of).

[@AloysiusVelocitor]

Disagree. What’s going to push VR is wide adoption of XR devices by companies like Apple. Right now this sort of device won’t add any new users. It’s made for people that already have a killer PCVR rig and lighthouses on the walls and are looking for their next HMD.

[@Ghostly_scarf]

@@AloysiusVelocitor I should've worded it differently, I should've said that this headsets pushes the limits of what a headset can be, both in size, comfort, weight, hardware (screens), customization (both for comfort and possible add on hardware) Thanks for the correction!

[@BurstLimitKL]

Agree, as convenient as inside-out tracking wireless headsets are, the multitude of them that are being released have little to offer for someone like me who's still waiting for something that's a real upgrade from an index. Here's hoping bigscreen delivers.

2.5K striped oled. This is the holly grail of VR. I guess i want to know a bit more info about the panel. Does it have a white subpixel? Is it bright enough? Does it have microlens array or quantum dot? Can you drive the displays of such large resolution at 90hz without interlacing or foviated rendering?

[@UltimateAK86]

The panel is apparently capable of 3000 nits, but the pancake optics cut that down a lot, and cap at ~90 degrees FOV. It seems the laws of physics are being challenged by this extremely small design. I'm so ready to see this device in person.

[@TristanTheVRGamecat]

Fov is so important , the difference between 90 and 110 degrees is like looking through binoculars for 90 and a window for 110, worst aspect we could be going backwards in tbh , priority should be increasing the fov before anything else

[@AloysiusVelocitor]

The FOV is 93°… not great, not horrible.

[@ChaosContrl]

Alright, gotta make sure no data leaks out of those 3D Face Scans. Also not having more than 93 degrees of FOV's gonna hurt when used to the Index's 120-130 degrees. Now Quest users already used to refresh rates at 80-90 Hz won't seemingly see any difference, but if you love higher rates like on the Index then it seems not the headset for you yet. I will admit however that their solution to have magnetically clipped prescription lenses (and having support for prescription lenses in the first place) is a really nice concept. Now to see if they accept positive diopters. I'll still wait to see what MeganeX has in store.

[@MentalEdge]

By full steamvr support, you better be including the ability for it to run on linux. One of the reasons I made the difficult decision to ditch by beloved CV1 for the Index.

[@MethosOhio]

I think that's 100% on steam, not the headset maker.

[@MentalEdge]

@@MethosOhio No. If the the device driver is proprietary, and does not support linux, then there would be nothing valve could do. Steam VR, for example, despite supporting Oculus HMDs, has no way of doing so on linux, because Meta has not made the necessary software for their devices and steamvr to communicate, available on linux. Works on windows, doesn't on linux.

[@trentsworld7745]

If I had the money, I'd buy this in a heartbeat. Most people would argue the lack of content is the biggest issue with vr right now, but it'd be a close second to comfort for me personally. If I could play Beat Saber, Pistol Whip, Boneworks, Bonelab, and Blade and Sorcery without having to worry about the growing fatigue of the pressure on my head and face, I'd be in vr waaaaaaaaay more. I won't be getting this, but this really shows how close we are to a future with small goggle-like headsets. The Quest Pro and upcoming Quest 3 are already looking pretty damn small. So there's no excuse for pcvr headsets to be so enormous.

[@BlackV4You]

Now that Universial Unreal Engine VR is out from praydog its amazing! You can play almost any unreal engine 4 (around 1000 titles) (and up) games with real vr tracking on weapons and more

Looks cool. I want a wired wireless adapter (to be fixed to the belt or on the pocket) together with this.

[@TristanTheVRGamecat]

Dealing with compression then and anyone whose tried air link on quest will tell you , wire results in a better more stable experience, and anyone complaining about the wire is to be quite Frank.....an absolute moron because it's the easiest fix in the world JUST DONT HAVE IT TRAILING ON THE FLOOR

[@SergTTL]

@@TristanTheVRGamecat well I'm that moron then. I've played a lot with various wired HMDs (Vive, several generations of Oculus, various WMR headsets) and I currently own Quest2. I strongly prefer playing wireless and having the full freedom of movement within the play area even while having a power bank attached. Yes, the wireless connection has it's problems. But I'm playing via Virtual Desktop and I have a powerful WiFi router (TUF-AX5400). Last time I checked, Virtual Desktop seemed to have much better image quality and latency than air link and the connection is very stable for me.

[@MethosOhio]

I've played both wired and wireless. I'm willing to put up with quite a lot of artifacts to avoid a wire. You always feel the wire. It breaks immersion. You're always getting tangled. Unless you're a sim racing player that never moves, or just sitting in a chair watching movies, the wire is a problem.

[@SergTTL]

@@MethosOhio Exactly! Even though a good wire suspension may help a lot with that tether, the suspension can be difficult to build and still this is not as good as going tetherless.

[@replacesoundboard]

I'm a bit worried about the custom fit face gasket. It's based on the 3D scan of your face at a given time, but tomorrow or the day after, my face may swell/shrink because of reasons X or Y and the face gasket won't be a perfect fit anymore. I kind of wish there was some kind of "universal gel pads" you could use (you know, like how hearing protection muffs can have gel cushions instead of foam cushions sometimes). On the downside, it means the headset must be firmly pressed against your face. On the plus side, gel makes it hundreds of times more comfortable than foam.

[@markkovalcson7243]

After 5 month's use, I haven't had any issues with my cushions. With the Audio strap you can lower the pressure on your face to barely touching and still have it stay in place. It's ultimate comfort.

This is game changing. I don't even use my reverb G2 anymore because of how heavy it is, always painful to watch movie after 1 hour, always painful when removing the headset like my hair/head got threw in a washing machine. Even more painful, especially with the loss of lens sweetspot, when doing action games and having to turn quickly the head. Sweat and heat issues are being addressed too, that's a big point.

I'm trying so hard to fight the urge to preorder one of these

[@josetorres6241]

Display port??

[@MultiWarbird]

[@Indian-ez1cs]

Super excited

[@orberku7094]

looks amazing can't afford it but it can have a competion with ps and meta

[@acpmc76]

Hmm... wire. I'll just wait for the Quest 3.

[@Fatalution]

Wired is better than wireless for bandwidth purposes. You cannot physically make a wireless headset that will be agnostic of stream latency and compression. But oh well, why would you ever think about that, your problem is "wire". In reality tho, wired headsets rival all the wireless options when it comes to picture quality and latency.

@@Fatalutionquest has both options

Congrats 👏✨

[@ariarst8977]

please bring bigscreen to PSVR2, we need it there.

[@blackbibletv]

I can't wait to preorder.

[@bearlyphased]

Interesting! I like what I see so far, and even more interested in the specs, and demo

[@philipkeane2217]

Do I need computer for this

[@CAPTAINBL00DL0SS]

This is awesome, but vr will be fully ready when it is the size of sunglasses with ar in it as well.

[@Mar-5016]

You can’t have full VR with glasses, AR sure but not VR. This is about as small as it gets for VR, unless you want to be peeking through a door peep hole

1k headset with no controlelrs, same FOV as quest 2 in 2023. What are you guys doing?

[@issawrapppp]
