Clearly you haven't tried a Hololens. It does mixed reality rather well. Unfortunately, it doesn't do full VR. But the resolution and immersion is similar. In fact, when playing their demo game I was actually creeped out when I saw the dude hanging out behind the couch in my living room. Can't remember the name, fragments maybe? Anyhow that was the H1. Never tried an H2.

[@ayylmao.mp3]

For anyone wondering it's not just that there is a sharp screen in the middle, it has full eye tracking and the sharp area moves whenever you look. Also the XR thing is really where it shines. I thought VR for training scenarios was a bit gimmicky, but with these glasses you can slap a green screen in front of you and a tracker to your real tools, then see the tools and your own arms and interact with the virtual environment (tool being tracked and simulated in VR) and it's such a real but weird portal between realities experience.

[@Acenthus]

Duuuuude with the eye tracking you can make scp containment breach vr or Minecraft VR even more realistic that would be so fucking cool.

[@nascarjake787]

So how does the pupil swim work if it has eye tracking? Does that mean the tracking isn't always perfect or the screens don't always line up fast enough? Or does pupil swim happen at the edges of lenses no matter what tracking you do with screens, etc

[@pauldeddens5349]

@Robert Sears Why would a company pay him off to say positive things about an industry grade headset not meant for consumer use? This isnt meant for regular people to buy, or enthusiasts. Its like comparing a gaming computer to a room sized super computer. One is obviously way more powerful, but is in no way meant for consumer use. Anyone planning to buy this headset likely works for a corporation, and this form of advertisement is the least effective way of getting their target demographic to bite. Think of it this way; does it benefit the rich? It would benefit the rich of people bought lots of headsets. But who is buying the headsets? Other rich people, or rich companies. Would some random VR hobbyists testimonial be enough to convince a team to choose this over something else? Likely not. Would other methods of advertisement, like an in person demonstration, in depth video by the company itself, or money backed trial period? Probably more than the testimonial.

[@azynkron]

It's all about the cost. It's still WAAAY too expensive for it to really break through. The original idea that Oculus had was better. Remember they claimed that the set would be priced as a monitor. But what we got was way more expensive and it's not only the set, you also likely have to upgrade or buy a new rig. So, you could argue that it's volume and as more people buy it, it will become cheaper. This is true, however in this case it would already have happened so the ball is back with the manufacturers. If they want this to become a real thing, they have to make it affordable and available to a wider audience. Before that, it's just a novelty.

I am a huge VR fan as well. I was already hooked when beat saber came out but when I tried Half Life Alyx for the first time, my mind was blown. I didn't know the graphics could be as good as playing on a desktop PC and in some instances it was even better. It's not really about just the graphics alone but it's the experience as a whole. Simple things such as a broken bottle, I would never bother to pick up or interact with when playing on desktop, but in VR, I would get close to everything, try to touch and pick up everything that I could, even holding objects in my hand and spin them around to look at them. Something as simple as reloading became difficult because I have to watch what's coming at me, try to move away, all the while trying to get the magazine in to properly reload. This changes the gameplay for me because I would always reload after a few shots, because there was no penalty for doing so, just click a button and you can't fail to reload. However, in this game, I would lose out on unused bullets (which is also a feature implemented in non-VR games so nothing special here) and if I'm not precise enough, I could fail to reload the first time, which means I'm rushing now. All of this combined really transforms the experience of playing something that's practically a simple FPS. Even games with not so good graphics such as The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners, became very scary playing on just the Oculus Quest even though the graphics were not anywhere near realistic. It's the environment that you lose yourself in that makes the VR experience unforgettable to me. Playing a horror game on a monitor can be scary and sure you may jump a few times here and there, but you see your surroundings, your desk, your cup of water, you can always "escape" the horror in the game. However, when you have that VR headset on, everywhere you look, you're IN the game environment and even that alone really changes the experience. I know there are vests and gloves that add to the immersion but my hope is that one day VR not only means a visual sensation but an all-encompassing touch and feel experience as well.

It's not clear why you think this would help with that, but it won't.

That's lower than several other options. If you're really serious about FOV, maybe check out the Pimax headsets, which have 200 degree FOV.

This just reminds me of my frustration with VR. The second I tried a Google cardboard I knew this would be the future of entertainment. Sadly, companies will not make the investment in VR tech unless it makes them billions right now. VR will not take over until headsets like the Varjo become mainstream and this headset can't get cheap enough to go mainstream until we get the market big enough to support it. It's actually incredibly short sighted by the tech companies. They test the waters with inferior products and then abandon the tech when it doesn't get huge market share. HELLO!? We are all sitting here waiting for the real good stuff! We can see the flaws that have to be overcome and want the real deal.

[@FastForwardPlans]

The problem is the investment required, the tech for a long time was still too unclear for any comapany to bother, only giants like facebook and google could really afford the sort of R&D needed to get it very far. Companies jumped on the band wagon in the past for a bit because they could just take established tech and mix it around, but once things got complicated there was no way for most companies to afford it. Only now that facebook is starting to get stupid amounts of money is it starting to get worth the cost of investing again, because there is now a baseline for vr tech to climb up from.

I can still safely say that I was and still blown away, while I know that feeling may leave eventually.... I didn't get the HUGE Hype around it and seeing everyone on twitch stream stuff sure it looked cool but didn't see the hype till I got my very own. First of all, I've been "disabled" (Not full functionality of my lower extremities due to high levels of chronic pain & chronic pain of my lower back) and when I put it on, go into like a boxing game or beat saber. I am blown away at how quickly I can feel that escape and actually have been ducking, moving in beat saber, I can feel just a smidge of weight loss already comparative to almost 4 years of no ability to work out. I tested it, I took it off and just tried a youtube workout, 4 pushups, 2 situps, and like 3-4 minutes of moving with the YT workout and I was done, but yesterday (3/5) I think the quest 2 tagged me at about 40 minutes of "move time" and about 600 calories burned.

So hearing you describe the march of progress from the current, extravagant, prototype-level technology, and knowing that we have come so far and have yet so much to experience is so encouraging.

[@bricaaron3978]

*"...the origins of VR, y'know, the in-place, sitting down stuff."* "In-place, sitting down" is not just the _origins_ of Virtual Reality, it's one of many possible ways to experience VR. I can't make this more clear: _Everyone who believes that VR means "Wii-style motion control" is _*_sorely confused,_*_ and does not understand what VR is._ Furthermore, this Wii motion control mentality is a significant part of the reason why VR has failed to become more popular and _finally_ succeed_ as many people flat-out assumed it would ~8 years ago. VR is --- and has always been --- defined by sensory _input_ --- by how information is _received_ by an individual. When it comes to _output_ or control, there are many possible alternatives, each one depending upon the desired experience and circumstances. Examples include: > Keyboard and mouse > Console-style gamepad > Steering wheel and pedals, etc. (Driving/Racing sims) > Flight Yoke, rudder pedals, etc. (Flight sims) > Specialized inputs for purpose-built installations > Motion controls > Matrix-style direct neural link

Not only would our brain anticipate and simulate phantom touch from interacting with realistic objects. But the haptics would make it seem even more real, seaming together those slight inconsistencies.

*if the cost of this headset doesnt get you the cost of the "YEARLY" subscription you must pay will 0_o"* it truely is an amazing unit overall though

[@matthewblackwood9653]

Yeah I'm certain that annual subscription is because in a business use case (which is their intended market) that covers support for troubleshooting, repairs, and help getting the headset running in user software suites. For a business that money is probably absolutely worth it as it streamlines the setup and troubleshooting process. But for an individual user it just doesn't make sense.

@@matthewblackwood9653 Also, these types of subscriptions get you an immediate replacement while your unit is off being repaired. Usually but not always, enterprise subscriptions allow for "zero" downtime. Some high end 3d printers for example come with maintenance contracts that give you loaner machines when yours goes down for whatever reason. Not sure if that's true with Varjo but I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

[@komogosmotivation1447]

Gosh I really want that same high as the first time you wear a head set. this video made me feel the longing for that in my chest. Thank you

[@MrChannelnamehere]

So many YT'ers demoing off Varjo's XR3/VR3 lately. I really hope they're planning on releasing a consumer headset, otherwise all of this hype over Varjo would seem like it's for nothing as its out of reach for 99% of consumers. The headset looks amazing but it's also the equivalent of demoing a new Lamborghini to an audience that primarily drives a normal car like a Civic or Camry.

[@EthanFilms]

7:30 is such a magical moment lol especially the part where he says he feels warmth. There's some serious psychology going on here, with the phantom effect, it's so fascinating to see its overlap with vr

[@samihanski4086]

This is their first "consumer" marketed device and two headsets released before have been double the price of this one (basically they have halved the price with every device they have released) also with professional models and in professional use you have yearly license fees which this one doesn't have in consumer use. Their models are also only VR devices that have been officially approved for virtual reality based flight training by aviation authorities.

[@Syllaren]

Pretty sure he's using the professional version, he mentioned there was a consumer device less than half the cost of this one.

[@samihanski4086]

Sorry. You are correct. I got little confused with their newer models and their naming conventions. Varjo Aero is their newest and only consumer available device and both their 3rd generation models VR3 and this XR3 is still for professional/business use. If had a pleasure to use their XR-1 for a few times which was device between third and second generation headsets.

[@Cooe.]

You really should have just deleted this super misleading post. You were talking about a completely wrong headset (Aero) that didn't even exist when this video was made. 🤷

[@Glowbox3D]

This is very exciting to see. Wow...we are definitely farther along than I thought, even being a bit of a geek. Man...that's steep though. In addition to the hardware cost, there is a yearly subscription of 1k? Jeepers. Ya, so, for this level of fidelity to drop to 1K like the Index, I assume we've got another 10 years. I can wait...I mean...I think I can wait.

[@RCortez1986]

it's exciting and terrifying at the same time, to imagine that in 10 years vr tech, then and now, will seem like comparing a vcr to a blueray player/ 4k monitor.

Well I was looking at the specs for the VR3 which is 3500, and outside of missing the pass through cameras and hand tracking via them, the VR3 should have the exact same visuals as the XR3, just without all the AR macguffins. Might wanna look into that. Although I am sure in a year or two a consumer products around 1k will feature this type of display.

[@EvilSanta482]

You also have to have a subscription to use it even after the initial purchase price shock which is also not cheap.
