Just coming to post that, incredible headset for sure!!

Posted (edited)

That is awesome - hopefully means competition is going to bring down the high end headset prices a bit going forward too. 

 

Tinfoil hat on: This dramatic price drop, and the Pimax announcement this week that the Crystal will be available for an $800 trade in for the 12K (whenever that may be released), makes me hope they are positioning themselves to get headsets sold in advance of a Valve announcement...or maybe an Aero 2, wouldn't those be nice?

Hoping for an Aero 2 but in no real hurry, still getting my money's worth out of my Aero quite nicely.

My hunch is they will be doing at Aero 2 just matter of when to do it.  Time will tell I reckon.

Aero needs a bigger FOV IMHO, it already has an amazing resolution and with FDR probably it is the best performer in DCS (which supports DFR)

Will a larger FOV be a performance hit? hope not.

Motion Smoothing does not work well in the Aero yet, so they should make it work before going for Aero 2.

Larger FOV = More pixels displayed = some performance hit. Not sure how anyone could get around that.

Hopefully the Aero price drop won't contribute to a drop in QC.

Varjo is very well known across the industry and have a large reputation on quality. I highly doubt that would change.

great price for the folks already in the ecosystem.  (Having base stations and controllers).  I would buy it in a heart beat if it was plug and go, but having to get the other stuff racks up...   I'm looking to move from my G2.  A few months ago, upgraded my rig to a 13900K, (and reused the 4090).

The Aero vertical FOV is small compared with all the other headsets. This is my main concern which prevent me to buy it even at that price.

But the horizontal FOV is good.

These are the maximum achievable FOVs of each device (reported in OpenVR library of each device)

But this is a good move of Aero. We need competition.

I hope if they do am Aero2 they will do a better FOV.

 

Having DFR implemented a larger FOV should not be a problem for the performance.

Yep Aero vertical FOV is not so good - however I think most new Aero users are like myself in that the other positives outweigh that deficiency and they find it not so big a deal. Horizontal yes is fine.

Surely this means that a new Varjo headset is coming out soon?

 

(Just like with Tesla Model 3s...)

+1 and the whole area you see has a sweet spot.

Where to order?

I'll have to pass-base stations are a deal breaker....

You can get used V1 ones quite cheap.

Note they also have the lowest stereo overlap, it was sacrificed for the wider FOV, things may not have quite the same 3D vibe.

Is it hard to implement Dynamic Foveated Rendering in IL2 ? Anybody has any idea ?
