With all the excitement surrounding the launch of HL: AlyxI I realised I’d completely glossed over the other big news which was the announcement of the Reverb G2.
A collaboration between Valve, Microsoft and HP who look to bring the Reverb G2 to market - soon.
With the tag line ‘No Compromise’ it’s hard not to speculate on the possible G2 spec sheet.
For me a no compromise design would be:-
Twin OLED screens for deep blacks.
4k per eye retina quality display.
A FOV of 200 degrees with no blurr at the edge.
Built in eye tracking.
Built in off ear headphones.
Built in wireless transmitter.
Rounded off with Knuckle style controllers and perfect tracking at any distance.
A tall order for any headset but Pimax with its 8KX is already aiming for such lofty specifications albeit without OLEDs and less than perfect optics.
From the pictures released of the G2 so far it’s hard not to see some limitations on the design. How can it live up to a list of no compromise given the size of the lenses for starters? They don’t look any bigger than the Indexes which is limited to 115 degrees in my tests. It’s a stretch of the imagination to expect the G2 to jump to 200 degrees without going for an ultra wide chassis.
Anyone else excited for the Reverb G2?
