Well I won't hold my breath for anything decent tbh. Unless they've managed to nail eye tracking and dynamic foveated rendering it's going to be another 1.5K headset.

If it's under a grand then they might sell a few otherwise I can't see it (or anything from anyone else for that matter) outshining the CV2 next year.

I'm hoping it is going to be something great because Oculus need some competition from somewhere next year.

Sadly @snowdog - this is aimed at the enterprise sector, so will not be really competition to CV2... unless they are pivoting into this sector?

I think it has been confirmed to be a consumer headset, not an enterprise headset.

Any idea what tracking system the current enterprise headsets use? Just wondering what tracking system the consumer version will be using.

If they had any sense they would approach Oculus to licence the Constellation tracking system and get Oculus to extend their SDK to cover the new headset. Will give their future owners the opportunity to buy software from both stores without messing around with a third party app and give them the benefits of ASW.

That's assuming that the headset is of good enough quality for Oculus to allow it.

The teaser vaguely shows a new headset design.
And the hint of "WE MADE SOMETHING FOR YOU" seems like a more consumer focused marketing direction.

We'll know on Tuesday.

I at least have a tiny bit more faith in StarVR than Pimax, since they are owned by Starbreeze, who made the Chronicles Of Riddick games. Ok, that's not much of a reason, but I like those games and it's better than anything Pimax has ever done. 🙂

Plus as I've talked about on here multiple times, StarVR actually understand the issues involved in wide FOV rendering in modern engines and have talked about their solution.
