Varjo XR-1 VS ImmersEd

It really isn't 'miles' ahead of the competition. If anything it is way behind. For example, look at Varjo: https://varjo.com/products/xr-4/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

The Varjo XR-4. This $4000 wired headset is general purpose PCXR. It has extremely high resolution and passthrough. It requires a powerful GPU to run it. Source: 5 months ago

Apple Vision Pro has a "PCVR" PC inside it - how much does say a Valve Index, plus all the accessories, PLUS the gaming PC required to drive it cost? I'd bet it's easily close to $3500. Varjo just released a new 4K HMD on Monday, which still needs a PC with something like a 4090GPU, and its pricing starts at $4000. Source: 5 months ago

Go to this site and check out a comparison of the HoloLens to a passthrough based AR experience. Scroll about halfway down the page to the car with the slider. The reason HoloLens hasn’t succeeded is AR (non-pass through) in its current form is terrible. Source: 11 months ago

Typical Apple price tag. I'll be very interested in seeing an in depth review on this headset. I work in VR development and have worked with most headsets including the £6,000 Varjo XR headset. Source: 11 months ago

Usb-c check out https://immersed.com if you want to have a virtual desktop that is pretty good. Be aware it's on the threshold of useful, depending on the user. The pixel density is not quite there and you have to turn your head more. Text at the edge of the lens is blurry. Immersed is coming out with https://visor.com which will be 4k per eye, built for the virtual desktop first (tradeoffs vs generic device like... - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

> I have the Quest 2 and the text isn't legible enough for me to write code for any length of time. The comment above about "god rays" is correct in my experience, as well as the lenses being blurry towards the edges due to how they're made. However, I realized that I need prescription lenses for VR, because while I have -0.75 in one eye, that's still enough to throw the overall experience off a lot (and the... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

I have a Meta Quest 3 and have an application called https://immersed.com/ that I can use to log into my Windows computer. It certainly works but the image quality is not as good as a good monitor. Certain keyboards can be tracked, like the Apple Magic Keyboard so they are displayed in the VR world and you can type on them like normal. Battery life is not so good. Many people (including me) find the quest 3 is... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
