This reminds me of another company that recently entered the VR space. 🤔
Definitely does a lot more than the Vision Pro does though, waaay more useful.
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. :)
Yeah thats pretty much the beyond 1 also. I wasn’t expecting anything different in pricing. Also you only really need 2 base stations

This might be what gets me to finally purchase VR
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.
It’s actually recommended to run it at 75hz, it’s a limitation of the screen, not the cable.

Real progress for PCVR.
Do I still need to buy an iPhone to get it?
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
Does it work with glasses?
I think you can order prescription lenses with it. Maybe with the halo strap it might accommodate glasses nicely.
Prescription lenses are available at checkout, yes.
You order corrective lens inserts for it
I’d be interested once it is compatible with Linux.
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.
lvra.gitlab.io is a great source of info for vr on linux. The discord server you mentioned is also bridged to Matrix for those who don’t want to use discord.
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.
If you are interested in Valve you might want to wait, rumor is we get at least an announcement very soon. I say this as someone that pre-order a Bigscreen Beyond 2 though, lol.
Hasn’t this been a rumor for like a year?
