November 22, 20223 yr Had a chance to test one today, just using some wireless apps and apps pre loaded. As the reviews mention, it does have much improved sharpness across the fov compared to the quest 2. The contrast is better. Minimal or no god rays There's a very slight screen door effect and a brightness drop off as your eyes move away from centre, unlike existing headsets. Bright in the centre and noticeably darker at the edges The pass through cameras are pretty word not allowed and grainy, but good enough for finding a button on your physical controllers if you want to go mixed reality, however you won't be reading any labels. What you see through the cameras is perfectly aligned with the object you are trying to touch, just like your eyes. FOV is about the same as a reverb g2 and quest 2 without modifications. The hand controllers are great, compact with no ring, responsive and work behind your back, haptics feel good overall - if using it just for flight sims and car racing - for it's price, I think I'd still opt for a reverb g2 for value till there's a price change.

Often, and especially in simulators, you need to reach down to access cockpit controls, and end up with your hand controllers losing direct line of sight and becoming unresponsive. X-plane solves this by having your VR controllers act as a virtual laser pointer, which sort of gets around the problem. but most sims don't do this. Controllers that remove the need for direct-line-of-sight are a blessing. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

November 22, 20223 yr Author yeah I agree with you on the controllers. btw, the headset is fairly nicely balanced. Not too front heavy and fairly comfy. Has a dial on the back for tightening. I've only tried it without the full face mask. Without the mask it is similar to a ms HoloLens. I prefer to look down and see a bit of the outside world for finding buttons and seeing my hands etc. I'm not fussed about light leak quickly tried pushing headset against face to test if i could increase fov. it might be improved slightly before seeing edges from what I could see but nothing huge. Needed more time to experiment It has a charging dock. not sure if a good thing or bad thing. Edited November 22, 20223 yr by dogmanbird
