• Doesn't require tethering to PC or mobile device
• 'Sweet spot' between high-end PC headsets and mobile solutions
• It's white

Edit: More info/specs...

• Super-lightweight design

Just as Palmer would have wanted

 

[Turkoop]

well, this is a good move!

[Kuro]

No specs?

 

[zelas]

Pass

 

[JaggedSac]

Just as Palmer would have wanted

Well done

 

[Black Duke]

We really need some more technical details like resolution/hardware spec.

The price is good.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Just as Palmer would have wanted

whew...

 

[Windu]

Need specs to get excited.

 

[Onaco]

Just as Palmer would have wanted

Oh... oh... oh my... /thread right there, people. They need to rebrand ASAP.

 

[Tain]

Curious about specs but the video footage made the tracking look surprisingly good with a lot of hands-tracked-while-out-of-vision.

I want to believe, but I gotta be skeptical.

 

[GrantDaNasty]

Curious how it functions, does it have some sort-of SoC in the headset, does it work off some sort of streaming tech (though realistically I suppose the latency would be way too high for viable VR).

Fucking perfect.

First post nailed it. Also credit for the lob by the OP.

Holy shit! LOL

Damn!

Close the thread. It's over.

Holy shit. first post of the year!


on topic: Interested in this, but wary of how good it can be at this price.....

Also, does the controllers track themselves or are they being tracked by the HMD like Microsoft devices?

 

[Diablohead]

Sounds like it should have the power of a high end gaming tablet if it's between mobile and a pc, a nice idea to get more be stuff out there.

I always found mobile phone vr works rather well but you need a good phone and screen which raises the price a lot.

 

[KJRS_1993]

The dudes's not even with the company anymore and I still feel like I'd be letting the Nazi's win by buying it.

 

[spad3]

Just as Palmer would have wanted

Wow...Saucy. we're done here.

 

[TheMan]

Is this self contained or streaming from PC? I'm guessing the former...

 

[Windu]

Considering this is standalone, at $200. I wouldn't expect this to be built for gaming.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Is this self contained or streaming from PC? I'm guessing the former...

yes, self contained.

Got it in 1.

Best first post I've ever fucking seen. This poster deserves the gaf silver star, for posting honorably in a time of great turmoil.

Fully self contained it seems, no PC required. It would be nice if it had some PC link capabilities as well though, best of both worlds.

 

[jacobeid]

Just as Palmer would have wanted

damn.

Best first post in a long time.

 

[LowRoller]

yes, self contained.

Wow. That's pretty impressive

 

[Ferr986]

Just as Palmer would have wanted

I approve this first post.

 

[Aureon]

Just as Palmer would have wanted

That's quite the first post.

 

[Cutebrute]

Just as Palmer would have wanted

Put this poster in the first post hall of fame.

But this sounds like an interesting product. It probably should have been launched alongside the high end headset, though. I don't know if the market will care about this at $200.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

It'll likely be like that down the road, but I don't imagine it will be any time soon.

 

[xxracerxx]

Does this come pre-loaded with a tour of hurricane ravaged Puerto Rico?

 

[Kaako]

"Next gen" VR lenses with these as well. Yet to be tested.
1440P.
Spacial Audio.

Flawless victory.

 

[Jibbed]

Added the new specs just shared to the OP.

 

[Kthulhu]

Just as Palmer would have wanted

Lmao

Perfect first post.

 

[DSN2K]

if you can use it on PC as well im in....

 

[franklyshankly]

So does it have positional tracking?

 

[Calm Mind]

[Principate]

Just as Palmer would have wanted

I salute you good sir.

 

[The Elite]

As someone who owns the high end Oculus this seems closer to what I might want in the long run. I barely use mine for PC gaming these days. I get more enjoyment out of using it with applications.

 

[Makonero]

Just as Palmer would have wanted

this is perfect in every way
