- kazinator 6y agoGoogle Cardboard. :)
- rantwasp 6y agoi have a Cardboard... but since I upgraded to Iphone 11 i can no longer use it :O (ie it does not fit in the cardboard) For its price point it is pretty dope
- Pfhreak 6y agoThe Valve Index appears to be a very good piece of hardware, from everything I've read.
- Gunax 6y agoIt is good, but it's a different market segment. It's much more expensive and requires a gaming PC.
- chrischen 6y agoArguably the Quest 2 hits this market still because 1) You can still use Valve Index controllers with the Quest 2) You can do PC VR with the Quest 2 via a USB 3.0 cable 3) You can do wireless PC VR using wifi AC using your home router and Virtual Desktop 4) You have a higher resolution headset panel than the Vive, when using it with PC VR.
- marcan_42 6y agoThere is nothing affordable and standalone other than Oculus. However, for the tethered route, I just pre-ordered an HP Reverb G2.
- CookieMon 6y agoThe Reverb G2 looks like the best of the current crop - it launches in a week, however it needs a high-end gaming PC to run, and costs twice as much as a Quest 2. https://i.redd.it/r6idh33kitp51.png https://i.redd.it/r6idh33kitp51.png I think facebook is going to own standalone headsets for a while.
- jamiek88 6y agoThat Pimax 8k looks good!
- warrenq 6y agoYes, It's called Loser Club -- like buying Zune or Windows Phone to spite Apple. What people don't realize is that there is a non-zero cost to not be on a popular ecosystem, far greater than any perceived, ill-informed, conspiracy bullshit that they hear on the internet.
