I turn 51 tomorrow, and this video actually made me a little wistful and sad. You guys that have 25 and 30 years on me are going to get to see so much really cool and amazing technology. By the time you're my age, full-body tracking suits, full motion gaming pads (treadmills), and lifelike visuals will be the *norm*, at reasonable consumer prices, and the "cutting edge" stuff you'll be experiencing is stuff we can't even *imagine* right now. What we've got now is the kind of stuff I dreamed of as a kid, drowning myself in any sci-fi medium I could get my hands on. I'm so thankful and happy that I get to experience the beginnings of it, and at the same time, I wish I could be around to see what you guys will be experiencing and how mind-blowingly amazing it will all be forty or fifty years from now.
To be honest, I would say you would get to experience the best of the best VR tech as well. Just look back in the last 5 years and look at smartphones. The leap in tech is absolutely insane, mainly become of competition between manufacturers. Same is happening with the VR industry since there is more competition between manufacturers and that will only accelerate innovations. So I would say, look back at this comment in like 2025-2026 and you will surprised.
The Quest 2 has definitely spoiled me. The price/feature ratio is heavily on the Q2's side. It's definitely not perfect, but it's more than good enough. With that being said, I would like to see an affordable headset that isn't tied to a data mining company like Facebook. I'd love to see the Aero at under $1000.
Yeah, before Q2 I was like... I love Steam; Steam VR sounds interesting, but...is it worth it? $1000 is way too much just to find out. After a few months with the Q2, I'm a full blown VR junkie and am like, hell yeah I'd pay $1000 for VR... But for one that has to be plugged in all the time? That I can only use in one specific dedicated room? Are you kidding me? When I can take my Q2 on vacation and do anything from the Quest store on it, AND at home I can play Steam games and take advantage of my massive Geforce RTX graphics card wirelessly anywhere in the house? I too would prefer Valve or almost anyone over Facebook, but at this point, I don't see how it's a fair contest. $700 extra for what, slightly better FOV and FPS, and the mentioned disadvantages?
@@a8lg6p Give it a couple of years and these things will be built like laptops. A dozen or so manufacturers kicking out tons of models with a range of specs. IMO that's why facebook is trying to get the jump on creating the meta verse, they want to establish their space in VR before the manufacturer wave hits. I think they want to control the idea of virtual real estate. Its a completely new asset class that will start to pop up as virtual reality gets popular. Someone has to host the servers...
The first thing I ask when seeing a VR headset is "Is it wired"? because of the Quest. I pre-ordered the Q1 because it was wireless. and until somebody comes out with a wireless VR system better than the Quest.... I'll just stay where I'm at.
@@DASPRiD I would love full body tracking... But not sure I want it $1000 dollars bad, especially when...what am I going to use it in, VR Chat? What's superior about the controllers, and what is "audio solution"? The other thing is I got a Quest 2 for my gf who I won't live with for like about half a year, who doesn't have a fancy $2500 gaming desktop like I do. And we just got set up so she can use all my Quest 2 apps. But anyway, if there's a Vive 2 in the next couple of years with a built-in wireless option, I'd be all over it.
I gotta say, hearing the passion of VR in your voice has me coming back for every video. I don't have a VR headset yet, but I have never wanted one before more than after I discovered your videos. Thank you.
This reminds me a lot of what I experienced when I got glasses for the first time, I never knew the world I was living in had so much detail. This seems a lot like that experience in a way.
I can relate so much. The first time I put on glasses I just stared at grass for 20 minutes, just in aww about how I can see the individual grass blades, and just how much depth everything suddenly gets.
Fr. First time I got glasses I just went outside in my backyard and stared at the bricks on my neighbor’s house for like 20 minutes cause I could actually see the lines and spaces between the bricks there. Couldn’t see the individual leaves on trees before from that distance either, just green blobs lol. Taking off the glasses and putting them on repeatedly for a half hour comparing the clarity
As headsets have integral chips that are more and more powerful, this point becomes moot. Look at the new quest (project Cambria) that has an inbuilt processor, and doesn't even need a pc.
except it doesn't work like that on this one since it looks at where your eyes are looking and renders those spots with full resolution while rendering the rest with lower resolution meaning it will get even better fps than the competition running lower resolution displays
@luimu you are right and wrong. Yes it renders where you are looking, but overall it's still way more pixels rendered than other higher end headset resolutions. It even says on thier website that you need a top of the line graphics card for this headset
"Don't go into crippling debt for a VR headset." - Thrill Ye. Let's move those words of wisdom to the front of the video, because now I need to call my credit card company.
If you can't afford this comfortably, it's not worth it. At the rate that VR hardware technology is advancing there will be more top end headsets to talk about in just a few years, and technology like this will eventually become cheaper and cheaper, and more standard as time goes on. It may even take a bit, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was an average headset you could just go pick up within 10 years, specs wise. Honestly, it's kind of hard to predict, things can only move so fast but the hardware just moves so fast. The original vive was only 5 years ago.

Hope your crippling debt is worth it! Jokes aside, it was really heart warming to hear. You can tell he's very excited for the tech, and he knows how much people want to be at the forefront... But also knows that some people are impatient and bad with money. Just that little nudge saying "take care of yourself first, then maybe buy the hardware you can" means a lot
That would be amazing, especially if lower prices made vr a plausible device for school use. Imagine walking through a human heart with perfect clarity and getting to see big historical moments as a member of the crowd. It would be incredible.
@@unknown_-ed2rs i think most people would be disgusted if they walked through a real looking human heart in school via VR. If you’ve ever seen something similar IRL (not via video) then it is a very different experience.
I noticed the texture thing while playing No Man's Sky on a Quest 2. Most of it was good, but you could totally tell the difference between geometry and bump/displacement maps while driving the land vehicles. They've upped the resolution on many things since, but it definitely can be a downer when you get a nice new headset.
I bet In five years top that this price will go down significantly as technology gets better and cheaper as more companies apply as these features come industry standard
The idea is probably that regular consumers won't be buying it and they'd prefer their own things, however it should have detachable/add-on ones with it
The missing audio and mic isn’t for me but the FOV is. If you can afford a 2k headset you can afford audio. Adding audio at this price level would be kinda pointless as the target consumers would just add fancy audio.
@@blueberrryy yes/no, having the mic on the VR headset makes life a lot easier, it's a convenience factor. Most lapel mics are annoying to use, and anything else is stationary, so pretty useless. VR headset is right in front of your face, so can pick up audio amazingly, e.g. Quest 2 has an amazingly clear mic, I would argue it's nearly better than my Blue Yeti X and if I don't have the mic positioned correctly, actually is.
@@blueberrryy No. After experiencing index like audio on the G2... I disagree. It's the other way. If a headset is made at 2k it Should include descent audio. However, I understand that this may be sold for simulator applications where this may not be a factor.
I think my biggest letdown on it is the 90hz. My stone age Index does 144hz and my cheap-o Quest 2 does 120hz. The device would cost over 3k in Canada, and for that price I don't feel like I should have to compromise on something like that. And yeah, now I have to put on headphones and get a mic too.
-Amazing resolution - Mini LED - No weird software hassle - Dynamic foveated rendering - No hassle with ipd or diopter I think for the small part of consumers, 2k dollar is mooore than worth it for this
VR is amazing, Would love to experience this masterpiece. Surprisingly, IRL friends of mine still don't get catched with VR. The speed of progress in VR makes me want to start a local company so every person will be able to experience this already. Can't imagine the expressions people will get trying something as this out for the first time in such a small town where I live.
I love hearing the passion in your voice, it's like meeting someone who understands the love for VR just as much as I do. The Aero looks so nice, and God I wish I could enrich myself in VR as much as I want to.
Honestly, I'm really surprised that they actually made a lower-end model for consumers. Usually it's not even made available to us. I doubt I'd buy something like this, but if the FOV got better or if we could get a standardized wireless streaming solution that handled the huge amount of data necessary, it could be awesome. Having used the Pimax 5K Super and the CV1, I think I more lean towards needing wireless as a convenience to use the headset more often, followed by non-base station tracking. My play-space is very occluded a lot of the time, so I need something that can handle that, especially as the Pimax headsets have a hard connecting with/being seen by the base stations as-is for me.
@@provenor8160 not it you already own great audio solutions + index controllers. So I'm kinda happy not to pay for more expensive device and having something sub-par.
Well said. I'm 41. I remember as a kid playing on an Atari 2600 infront of a boob tube floor model TV with the neighbor kid for hours.. I remember the playable display for the OG Gameboy at Walmart. The 3DO and VirtualBoy too. Got my own SNES, N64, GameCube, 360, PS3&4. All dinosaur hardware now. From my perspective, hardware wise, the first Occulus is to VR what the OG Gameboy was for gaming as well as gamers. Coming from that level of tech, to what you crazy kids have access to today is mind blowing. The techs acceleration of development in the last decade is truly impressive, the result of great minds combined with many long hours at work and vast sums of money. I patiently await the day when most headsets are no bigger than a pair of meaty sunglasses. I'd be ok if all the VR hardware was actually just run off your smart phone in your back pocket or haptic vest. The headset would be composed of a set of screens and lenses only. One day soon I'm sure. We will get there. And after that, the next logical step after haptics fully evolve is full neural integration with hardware. Probably VR/AR contact lenses at first. Wonder if I'll still be around? I'd spend $2000 on a headset, sure. It'd take a sec to set aside for one. Priorities first. Always. Remember that no matter how good the virtual world is, you can't survive to play again another day if you neglect actual reality. Pay your bills. Take a shower. Eat good quality food, you'll live longer=game longer. Call your guardian figure on Legal Guardian Day. Stay frosty.
@@stablestoic1491 i love this part of the comment section. I'm only 18, so the first gaming hardware i knew was the ps2 and wii, but i like to imagine the point of view of past generations on tech evolutions and it hypes me for the future and the possibilities :D
@@Jallu555 I hope I'm wrong. I'd be pretty skeptical of a VR kit for less than $500 though. They're going to cut too many corners to get the price that low, either that or subsidize like FB does.
Some are spending couple grands on multidisplay setups. If this thing can really create pleasant virtual desktop environments then it's worth the money. Question still is... would i be able to work in it for 8-10+ hours every day.
VR as a monitor replacement is one of the main things I'm excited for. I'm convinced it's coming and will be a big quality of life improvement in my work & entertainment flow once the right hardware comes along. Love seeing us get closer and closer with each new headset.
I've been trying vSpatial, and it's pretty cool... I can actually get work done in it, but like he says, the screen door effect is noticeable enough to be annoying, and the controls are clunky enough to slow me down a bit... But I can see how it could actually boost productivity with a better headset and/or when the kinks are worked out.
@@04dram04 Neither blue light nor having a screen close to your eyes are inherently bad for them. What's bad for them is the constant distance. That's why doctors always recommend taking 5 Minute Breaks to look away from the Computer screen each hour. It's not the displays fault, you would have the same issue if you were to stare at a wall at a constant distance for 8 hours a day
As an artist, 2k for a headset with no screendoor, and nearly lifelike visuals is amazing. I could care less about a mic, you can find a good mic for 50 dollars if you really need one. And most people have headphones they use every day. Worst case scenario, drop another hundred or two if you need some crisp audio. But to be able to open up 3D models, pop into those worlds and add details to characters so vivid its like you have physical models of them in real life, is a game changer. You could animate like never before, intuitively map out animations. Storyboard motion paths. Work on the most beautiful damn shaders you have ever seen.
maybe I'm just having a bad day but I actually started to cry when I watched this. vr has been my only escape for along time now and wow it hit hard when you said "worlds I've spent hours in" thank you please keep making content 🙏
"This MAY BE my next everyday headset" is such a disappointing sentiment to hear about a cutting-edge pro-sumer product when his _current_ everyday headset is 2 years old and half the price. Edit: actually a *quarter*, as some people have corrected
@@MrKottter what? what you said is not relevant to the comment you replied to in any way. I think you misunderstood what "everyday headset" meant in this context. Glowing orange literally even point out its a prosumer product lol
@@MrKottter No you misunderstood. ThrillSeaker is saying what his daily driver headset would be. The goto headset as he owns so many. 'Everyday' just implies it's close to being his headset for choice for almost all interests in VR - the default headset, that's all.
They will be including earbuds with attached microphone and the distortion should be fixed by the time they ship via updated software. For me… the one potential deal breaker is the narrow FOV compared to Pimax. Plus we have to wait not much longer to see what the other guys are about to reveal. It’s such an exciting time for VR! Thanks for this very well done video. 🙏🏼😎
Just a little funny that they market it at the launch event as a 'no compromises headset' but did not include a mic. That's a compromise, looks like it's worth it, though.
Hey Thrill, are you going to check out the "rev 2" version of the Reverb G2? Apparently, they improved the tracking with the controllers by 30%, changed the face plate bit that increases FOV a bit and fixed issues with AMD systems with a new cable.
I'm really glad you added that at the end. As much as we all love this hobby, it is still just that, a hobby. People should not be putting themselves into financial debt to play on the latest and best headset. If you do, then it's no longer a hobby, it's an addiction and you need help.
Patience goes a long way with new fast-moving technologies. We should also always work on enjoying the world outside of VR to the fullest extent. Many experiences to have and amazing things to see.
@@edwardmayne9114 Cool, bro. I really like how you handled that, with grace and maturity. Too many people chime in with childish comments, when the intention is simply to help. Have a great 2022!
I liked the ending where you explained your view point on getting it and telling people not to go into debt for it. The best way I can explain it, is it felt very legit of you.
Thrill forgot to mention, VARIO IS ONLY SUPPORTING NVIDIA CARDS WHEN IT COMES TO USING THIS HEADSET. On their website they only specifically say NVIDIA GPUs are usable. Here's a bit more on that Recommended: RTX 3070 Minimum: RTX 2080ti I'm extremely sad about this because I have a 6900xt and I'm REALLY wanting to upgrade to this headset, I already have an Index and my Index alone has already been able to run this Resolution and Framerate, so I hope GPU support for AMD cards will be out soon!
I think there must be some sort of HW limitation of AMD cards, that they cannot run this headset. Just my speculation, nobody really said anything concrete, only that AMD GPUs are not supported.
I'm waiting for the RTX 4000 series to come out before I upgrade my VR setup... headsets like this really deserve good driving hardware. It's going to be a hard time waiting for everything to release. The no integrated mic is a weird decision though.
Just ordered mine. Hope it's worth the wait. I have a 6DOF motion platform and hope it will be a nice compliment to my current setup. Thanks for the video!
This video has aged well (now is april 22). Only correction is varjo have only just now managed to remove nearly all distorsion, it wasn't done by the time aeros were being received (jan 22).
I loved your comment in the end about not getting in debt to experience VR, it really speaks a lot to me because I live in Brazil, I was in love the first time I saw the very first oculus headset, I used to imagine myself playing those games and experiencing VR, I was in awe when the first Vive headset was launched. Still to this day I want to experience VR so much, but here in Brazil a single headset can cost 8 full salaries, not including the PC which is more than that. My only option for now is buying the Oculus Quest 2, here is around R$ 3800,00 but still with another headset around the corner, I need to try and save every cent I can. I wish one day to experience the bleeding edge of VR, still for now it's just a Dream, but I hope it gets cheaper and cheaper on the future so I can finally experience it.
Heyy, I'm from Brazil too. I wanted a VR headset for so long and literally put months of salaries aside to get a Vive Pro. It's, in fact, 8 full salaries + a high end PC, which gets quite pricey if you don't have any of them. Long story short, after having the Vive, I discovered the Quest 2. It's a standalone headset which plays almost all VR games you can dream of, such as Beat Saber, VRChat and others. You don't need a PC (but you can plug it in one) as it has a CPU/GPU inside already! It's just as capable as any other VR headset, has essentially the same resolution, has pretty decent audio built in (but you can plug your 3.5 jack and listen with your earbuds if you want), and I must say, having literally tried both side-by-side, the features of the Quest 2 are *so* good, that I literally prefer it over the Vive, which is MUCH pricier. It's also a TANK compared to the Vive, which breaks just to look at. You can get one on MercadoLivre NEW for R$3000 if you look around enough. However, if you have parents or friends which live in the USA or similar, you can get it for HALF the price, R$1500 - one salary. Yes, it's still a lot, but look, it's much more affordable, since you only need it and nothing more :) You literally get to know the full blown VR experience with it, there are essentially no drawbacks compared to any other pricier headset. Even more as a beginner, it will satisfy your needs plenty ahaha I hope this helps getting your hopes up! Take care!
I really dont care about missing audio, my wireless headphones and ipod pro fix that. Also i'd take the cooling over audio anyday. The FOV and pixel density is always going to be a matter for sacrificing one over the other, I personally think pixel density is more important than FOV. The price tag is big, but the caveats are not really a problem for me, if they do get rid of the distortion then I'm in.
You’re wish came true, distortion is almost completely gone and somehow they did a software update that Made the FOV wider its even comparible with the index in terms of FOV
I have personally been a VR user since the Oculus Rift and I whole heartedly agree that this is incredible. I remember the day when I first got to try VR as a little kid and saying it blew my mind is an understatement. It is so good to see this magic of sorts finally becoming what I saw it as when I was little. I am going to wait to by this however, the ONLY reason being the price. Honestly though. I'm not even mad or even a little bit irritated, they just took a massive leap that I am super happy about.
i've been looking for so long for a good VR equipment start this year and this headset could be excatly the thing i've been looking for! thank you very much
Looking forward to when vr headsets have all sorts of experience enhancing features like insane resolution, automatic ipd adjustment, good sound, mic, good inside out tracking, wide fov, comfortability, standalone wireless functionality and perhaps even settings for short- and farsighted people to play without needing to wear their glasses or contacts. EDIT: Holy shit that pimax announcement whaaat
could you please do a more in depth video on the whole "monitor replacement" thing. eg using a virtual 27 inch monitor, general reading, working, playing games in a vr monitor environment for long periods of time etc.
Goosebumps.....every time you talk like that.....just goosebumps. I almost tear up thinking about it and how far vr has come, I cant wait till I can try the arrow
The second half of this video really resonated with me. I know exactly what you mean and can't wait to see what a headset like this can show me from experiences and worlds I have spent time in before.
11:30 If you’re spending 2k on a vr headset you’re most likely already immersed in the ecosystem. Probably have a headset with a mic and probably wouldn’t bat an eye at purchasing controllers.
Man this is freaking amazing to see. I already put a good amount building my pc Id honestly pay for this headset the no audio thing isn't a issue for me.
My wife thought I was crazy when I just told her this week I wanted to buy the valve set up from steam lol. Wait till she finds out I changed my mind 😂
How beautiful of a video can you make man. You just emanate wholesome energy and the way you speak more than personally to every single viewer touches my heart. You're an amazing person, and it's fun to literally look forward to watching your videos every week. You're a great guy, keep up the wholesomeness
I wonder how long it will take until the full screen resolution reaches above 60 ppd. the VR-3 and XR-3 already have 70ppd at the center with the quad screen setup, but i don't know if there would be different technologies to achieve such resolutions with a simpler solutions. Keep up well updated when the improvements start to roll in!
@@AironNoriaLong The excitement is fleeting, whatever the item of desire. How long before you lose interest? This question varies with a person's enthusiasm for technology.
Vario is in the position as oculus was a few years ago. Oculus made really expensive headsets that couldn’t do much. Not they’re making great affordable ones. Give vario some time to perfect their craft and then the sky is the limit
This looks awesome! I think I could see myself getting something like this when it can do 120hz and has built in audio, but I'm very happy with the progression of VR
I don't think Pimax got the 8K@90Hz mode for their 8KX headset yet. It's probably rather hacky to make that happen. This video haven't shown the connector configuration of this headset. If it's also using a single Displayport 1.4 like Pimax do, then I doubt there would be high refresh rate available either. With Dual DP 1.4 or a single DP 2.0 though, that might be possible, but the latter probably requires a 30 series GPU to work.
The passion you have in your videos is phenomenal. I really hope that VR is going to be the tech that provides solutions to a lot of our social/logistical issues.
This is the start of something very powerful, i think we need to push for FOSS on platforms like this to ensure this power isn't misused (*cough* facebook), because i know that many will see proprietary software and privacy eroding nonsense as a very affordable tradeoff, myself included. We should be asking ourselves, what do we want VR to be in the future?
Yeah. I would consider buying this headset eventually but it unfortunately does not support Linux or FOSS drivers. So, I will continue to stick with my Vive as planned. If something with these specs that _did_ have open drivers came out though, it would be a perfect upgrade. I especially like that it is modular instead of coming with controllers, audio, etc, that way I can use the hardware I already have.
Not sure why you'd keep comparing this to the Index when the HP G2 already smokes it and is VERY close to this resolution - and may have a very similar PPI as we don't know the size of the panels in this to know how to really compare it. $2000 + controllers + base stations = nearly $3500 for a slight upgrade over the G2? No thank you.

I can relate so much. The first time I put on glasses I just stared at grass for 20 minutes, just in aww about how I can see the individual grass blades, and just how much depth everything suddenly gets.
I had this same reaction when I first tried contacts I cried and stared at my mother's face clearly for the first time
Same. To see the actual leaves on a tree was amazing.
Fr. First time I got glasses I just went outside in my backyard and stared at the bricks on my neighbor’s house for like 20 minutes cause I could actually see the lines and spaces between the bricks there. Couldn’t see the individual leaves on trees before from that distance either, just green blobs lol. Taking off the glasses and putting them on repeatedly for a half hour comparing the clarity
hahahaha
If it wasn't for this channel I wouldn't know anything about what's new in this industry. Thanks for the constant updates!
I think its important to state that with the higher resolution a headset has, the more powerful your pc needs to be.
This 👆🏽
As headsets have integral chips that are more and more powerful, this point becomes moot. Look at the new quest (project Cambria) that has an inbuilt processor, and doesn't even need a pc.
@@jasbails9857 a high power pc will run circles around anything on a vr headset
except it doesn't work like that on this one since it looks at where your eyes are looking and renders those spots with full resolution while rendering the rest with lower resolution meaning it will get even better fps than the competition running lower resolution displays
@luimu you are right and wrong. Yes it renders where you are looking, but overall it's still way more pixels rendered than other higher end headset resolutions. It even says on thier website that you need a top of the line graphics card for this headset
"Don't go into crippling debt for a VR headset." - Thrill
Ye. Let's move those words of wisdom to the front of the video, because now I need to call my credit card company.
If you can't afford this comfortably, it's not worth it.
At the rate that VR hardware technology is advancing there will be more top end headsets to talk about in just a few years, and technology like this will eventually become cheaper and cheaper, and more standard as time goes on. It may even take a bit, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was an average headset you could just go pick up within 10 years, specs wise.
Honestly, it's kind of hard to predict, things can only move so fast but the hardware just moves so fast.
The original vive was only 5 years ago.

But also knows that some people are impatient and bad with money. Just that little nudge saying "take care of yourself first, then maybe buy the hardware you can" means a lot
I was so excited until I looked at the 78 cents on my desk
Sell your desk. Then who knows you might have $5.78!
Fantastic break down man. Give it 3-5 years and I think this will be the norm at the price of a console.
That would be amazing, especially if lower prices made vr a plausible device for school use. Imagine walking through a human heart with perfect clarity and getting to see big historical moments as a member of the crowd. It would be incredible.
I'll just wait until sony releases their new vr
@@unknown_-ed2rs i think most people would be disgusted if they walked through a real looking human heart in school via VR. If you’ve ever seen something similar IRL (not via video) then it is a very different experience.

I noticed the texture thing while playing No Man's Sky on a Quest 2. Most of it was good, but you could totally tell the difference between geometry and bump/displacement maps while driving the land vehicles. They've upped the resolution on many things since, but it definitely can be a downer when you get a nice new headset.

> It's $2200
"I guess I'll wait ten more years."

He did say "Pro-sumer"
I bet In five years top that this price will go down significantly as technology gets better and cheaper as more companies apply as these features come industry standard
...Wouldn't saving money to eventually be able to afford this price bracket be quicker?
2000$ WITHOUT Microphone/Audio? Wow...
if youre paying that much vr you also have enough money to add your own. people would add anyway even if it had audio and a mic
i didnt expect to see you here
@@DeadpoolPlayz If I'm paying that much, I expect a full package.
Oh Hallo lol
The idea is probably that regular consumers won't be buying it and they'd prefer their own things, however it should have detachable/add-on ones with it
I would totally pay 2k or for a headset, but the missing mic and 115 FOV is a deal breaker at this price... maybe if I try it I would change my mind
The missing audio and mic isn’t for me but the FOV is. If you can afford a 2k headset you can afford audio. Adding audio at this price level would be kinda pointless as the target consumers would just add fancy audio.
@@blueberrryy yes/no, having the mic on the VR headset makes life a lot easier, it's a convenience factor. Most lapel mics are annoying to use, and anything else is stationary, so pretty useless. VR headset is right in front of your face, so can pick up audio amazingly, e.g. Quest 2 has an amazingly clear mic, I would argue it's nearly better than my Blue Yeti X and if I don't have the mic positioned correctly, actually is.
was machst du denn hier ? :D
@@blueberrryy No. After experiencing index like audio on the G2... I disagree. It's the other way. If a headset is made at 2k it Should include descent audio. However, I understand that this may be sold for simulator applications where this may not be a factor.
I think my biggest letdown on it is the 90hz. My stone age Index does 144hz and my cheap-o Quest 2 does 120hz. The device would cost over 3k in Canada, and for that price I don't feel like I should have to compromise on something like that. And yeah, now I have to put on headphones and get a mic too.
why do you paint your nails black?
-Amazing resolution
- Mini LED
- No weird software hassle
- Dynamic foveated rendering
- No hassle with ipd or diopter
I think for the small part of consumers, 2k dollar is mooore than worth it for this
VR is amazing, Would love to experience this masterpiece. Surprisingly, IRL friends of mine still don't get catched with VR. The speed of progress in VR makes me want to start a local company so every person will be able to experience this already. Can't imagine the expressions people will get trying something as this out for the first time in such a small town where I live.
Ive only used a quest 2 so far… if you start that company lemme get a discount :sheee:

Your love for VR and the way you talk about it just puts a smile on my face.
why is this guy wearing a mask all by himself ?
Honestly, I'm really surprised that they actually made a lower-end model for consumers. Usually it's not even made available to us. I doubt I'd buy something like this, but if the FOV got better or if we could get a standardized wireless streaming solution that handled the huge amount of data necessary, it could be awesome. Having used the Pimax 5K Super and the CV1, I think I more lean towards needing wireless as a convenience to use the headset more often, followed by non-base station tracking. My play-space is very occluded a lot of the time, so I need something that can handle that, especially as the Pimax headsets have a hard connecting with/being seen by the base stations as-is for me.
It cost 2k and it doesn't come with a mic or a headset so you have spend more money
@@provenor8160 not it you already own great audio solutions + index controllers. So I'm kinda happy not to pay for more expensive device and having something sub-par.
Well said. I'm 41. I remember as a kid playing on an Atari 2600 infront of a boob tube floor model TV with the neighbor kid for hours.. I remember the playable display for the OG Gameboy at Walmart. The 3DO and VirtualBoy too. Got my own SNES, N64, GameCube, 360, PS3&4. All dinosaur hardware now. From my perspective, hardware wise, the first Occulus is to VR what the OG Gameboy was for gaming as well as gamers. Coming from that level of tech, to what you crazy kids have access to today is mind blowing. The techs acceleration of development in the last decade is truly impressive, the result of great minds combined with many long hours at work and vast sums of money.
I patiently await the day when most headsets are no bigger than a pair of meaty sunglasses. I'd be ok if all the VR hardware was actually just run off your smart phone in your back pocket or haptic vest. The headset would be composed of a set of screens and lenses only.
One day soon I'm sure. We will get there. And after that, the next logical step after haptics fully evolve is full neural integration with hardware. Probably VR/AR contact lenses at first. Wonder if I'll still be around? I'd spend $2000 on a headset, sure. It'd take a sec to set aside for one. Priorities first. Always.
Remember that no matter how good the virtual world is, you can't survive to play again another day if you neglect actual reality. Pay your bills. Take a shower. Eat good quality food, you'll live longer=game longer. Call your guardian figure on Legal Guardian Day.
Stay frosty.

VR as a monitor replacement is one of the main things I'm excited for. I'm convinced it's coming and will be a big quality of life improvement in my work & entertainment flow once the right hardware comes along. Love seeing us get closer and closer with each new headset.
When I first tried Remote Desktop in VR, it was already mind blowing, wish I could add extra monitors in VR, that would be so cool
I've been trying vSpatial, and it's pretty cool... I can actually get work done in it, but like he says, the screen door effect is noticeable enough to be annoying, and the controls are clunky enough to slow me down a bit... But I can see how it could actually boost productivity with a better headset and/or when the kinks are worked out.
Having a blue light screen that close to your eyes, for that long is so bad for your eyes.
@@04dram04 Neither blue light nor having a screen close to your eyes are inherently bad for them.
What's bad for them is the constant distance. That's why doctors always recommend taking 5 Minute Breaks to look away from the Computer screen each hour.
It's not the displays fault, you would have the same issue if you were to stare at a wall at a constant distance for 8 hours a day
I cannot begin to imagine how advanced VR will be in the future, im in me early life rn so i have so much more to experience.
As an artist, 2k for a headset with no screendoor, and nearly lifelike visuals is amazing. I could care less about a mic, you can find a good mic for 50 dollars if you really need one. And most people have headphones they use every day. Worst case scenario, drop another hundred or two if you need some crisp audio. But to be able to open up 3D models, pop into those worlds and add details to characters so vivid its like you have physical models of them in real life, is a game changer. You could animate like never before, intuitively map out animations. Storyboard motion paths. Work on the most beautiful damn shaders you have ever seen.

No microphone:

@@dtrjones true
They will be including earbuds with attached microphone and the distortion should be fixed by the time they ship via updated software. For me… the one potential deal breaker is the narrow FOV compared to Pimax. Plus we have to wait not much longer to see what the other guys are about to reveal. It’s such an exciting time for VR! Thanks for this very well done video. 🙏🏼😎
Just a little funny that they market it at the launch event as a 'no compromises headset' but did not include a mic. That's a compromise, looks like it's worth it, though.
Bro - do you think it’s better than pimax8k x? Despite its higher resolution?
We can actually saw we were there to see vr take off
I don't think earbuds would come anywhere near the audio quality of, say, the Index, though.
Hey Thrill, are you going to check out the "rev 2" version of the Reverb G2? Apparently, they improved the tracking with the controllers by 30%, changed the face plate bit that increases FOV a bit and fixed issues with AMD systems with a new cable.

VARIO IS ONLY SUPPORTING NVIDIA CARDS WHEN IT COMES TO USING THIS HEADSET.
On their website they only specifically say NVIDIA GPUs are usable. Here's a bit more on that
Recommended: RTX 3070
Minimum: RTX 2080ti
I'm extremely sad about this because I have a 6900xt and I'm REALLY wanting to upgrade to this headset, I already have an Index and my Index alone has already been able to run this Resolution and Framerate, so I hope GPU support for AMD cards will be out soon!
I think there must be some sort of HW limitation of AMD cards, that they cannot run this headset. Just my speculation, nobody really said anything concrete, only that AMD GPUs are not supported.
I'm waiting for the RTX 4000 series to come out before I upgrade my VR setup... headsets like this really deserve good driving hardware. It's going to be a hard time waiting for everything to release. The no integrated mic is a weird decision though.
Just ordered mine. Hope it's worth the wait. I have a 6DOF motion platform and hope it will be a nice compliment to my current setup. Thanks for the video!
This video has aged well (now is april 22). Only correction is varjo have only just now managed to remove nearly all distorsion, it wasn't done by the time aeros were being received (jan 22).
Give it time. Owning a 4K tv seemed like purchasing premium beach front property in Dubai once too.

I was hoping for more info on that.
I loved your comment in the end about not getting in debt to experience VR, it really speaks a lot to me because I live in Brazil, I was in love the first time I saw the very first oculus headset, I used to imagine myself playing those games and experiencing VR, I was in awe when the first Vive headset was launched. Still to this day I want to experience VR so much, but here in Brazil a single headset can cost 8 full salaries, not including the PC which is more than that. My only option for now is buying the Oculus Quest 2, here is around R$ 3800,00 but still with another headset around the corner, I need to try and save every cent I can. I wish one day to experience the bleeding edge of VR, still for now it's just a Dream, but I hope it gets cheaper and cheaper on the future so I can finally experience it.
Heyy, I'm from Brazil too. I wanted a VR headset for so long and literally put months of salaries aside to get a Vive Pro.
It's, in fact, 8 full salaries + a high end PC, which gets quite pricey if you don't have any of them.
Long story short, after having the Vive, I discovered the Quest 2. It's a standalone headset which plays almost all VR games you can dream of, such as Beat Saber, VRChat and others. You don't need a PC (but you can plug it in one) as it has a CPU/GPU inside already! It's just as capable as any other VR headset, has essentially the same resolution, has pretty decent audio built in (but you can plug your 3.5 jack and listen with your earbuds if you want), and I must say, having literally tried both side-by-side, the features of the Quest 2 are *so* good, that I literally prefer it over the Vive, which is MUCH pricier. It's also a TANK compared to the Vive, which breaks just to look at.
You can get one on MercadoLivre NEW for R$3000 if you look around enough. However, if you have parents or friends which live in the USA or similar, you can get it for HALF the price, R$1500 - one salary. Yes, it's still a lot, but look, it's much more affordable, since you only need it and nothing more :)
You literally get to know the full blown VR experience with it, there are essentially no drawbacks compared to any other pricier headset. Even more as a beginner, it will satisfy your needs plenty ahaha
I hope this helps getting your hopes up! Take care!

I really dont care about missing audio, my wireless headphones and ipod pro fix that. Also i'd take the cooling over audio anyday. The FOV and pixel density is always going to be a matter for sacrificing one over the other, I personally think pixel density is more important than FOV. The price tag is big, but the caveats are not really a problem for me, if they do get rid of the distortion then I'm in.
You’re wish came true, distortion is almost completely gone and somehow they did a software update that Made the FOV wider its even comparible with the index in terms of FOV
Every innovation I see makes me emotional, this stuff is absolutely amazing.
I have personally been a VR user since the Oculus Rift and I whole heartedly agree that this is incredible. I remember the day when I first got to try VR as a little kid and saying it blew my mind is an understatement. It is so good to see this magic of sorts finally becoming what I saw it as when I was little. I am going to wait to by this however, the ONLY reason being the price. Honestly though. I'm not even mad or even a little bit irritated, they just took a massive leap that I am super happy about.
Hello fellow highschool VR enthusiast

I don't think Pimax got the 8K@90Hz mode for their 8KX headset yet. It's probably rather hacky to make that happen.
This video haven't shown the connector configuration of this headset. If it's also using a single Displayport 1.4 like Pimax do, then I doubt there would be high refresh rate available either. With Dual DP 1.4 or a single DP 2.0 though, that might be possible, but the latter probably requires a 30 series GPU to work.
That looks like some spec-ops night gear you’d see in the future
The passion you have in your videos is phenomenal. I really hope that VR is going to be the tech that provides solutions to a lot of our social/logistical issues.
This is the start of something very powerful, i think we need to push for FOSS on platforms like this to ensure this power isn't misused (*cough* facebook), because i know that many will see proprietary software and privacy eroding nonsense as a very affordable tradeoff, myself included.

Ready Player One is starting to hit close to home..

Yeah. I would consider buying this headset eventually but it unfortunately does not support Linux or FOSS drivers. So, I will continue to stick with my Vive as planned.
If something with these specs that _did_ have open drivers came out though, it would be a perfect upgrade. I especially like that it is modular instead of coming with controllers, audio, etc, that way I can use the hardware I already have.
I have no problem with no mic and headphones. I use an Astro headset whenever I play VR, makes everything more enjoyable anyways
They actually did it Lets goooooo
You're pfp looks like half life sicentist
Thank you for all your videos
I really love them and find every one of them very helpful
Not sure why you'd keep comparing this to the Index when the HP G2 already smokes it and is VERY close to this resolution - and may have a very similar PPI as we don't know the size of the panels in this to know how to really compare it. $2000 + controllers + base stations = nearly $3500 for a slight upgrade over the G2? No thank you.
