      No they sell a generic facial unit that can work with almost anyone’s face now and the IPD of the lenses is configurable, so you don’t need a 3D scan of your face

      The first one worked with some kernel patches, there is a Discord server (Linux Adventures in VR) with lots of information about getting various headsets running in Linux.

    $1019

    • +$200 for eyetracking
    • +$50 for orange
    • +$120 for cushion
    • +$129 for speaker
    • +$447 for steam VR base station x3

    This reminds me of another company that recently entered the VR space. 🤔

      Yeah thats pretty much the beyond 1 also. I wasn’t expecting anything different in pricing. Also you only really need 2 base stations

      Eh. Bigscreen isn’t new to this. I think they understand how niche they are.

        Yup, they are targeting people deep into the PCVR ecosystem. Index owners are their ideal customers. And now, people who previously purchased an Index and a Beyond, too.

      That’s true! The moohan might not be that expensive for what it is if it ends up being around 2k then! I feel better about waiting for that one. :)

    Why is the resolution limited at 90hz?

    There should be plenty of bandwidth to run 2x2560x2560 at 90hz. That should only be ~28.3gbps, which is less than dp 1.4 max of 32.

    And it’s less bandwidth than a 4k monitor at 240hz, though that requires DSC.

    If this could be used standalone, I’d be interested. Hell, I might be interested anyways since we have no idea if the valve 2 is coming out anytime.
