A glimpse into the future of VR: StarVR One, now available for $3200

This isn't an upcoming product. This headset released a week ago and is NOW available to purchase through a waiting list. But here's the thing. While it may cost $3200, we can only expect this technology to become cheaper. In not even five years, everyone will own one of these for a grand or less.

So what's different? The StarVR One fills your _entire_ field of view. Unlike the horizontal FOV of the Rift S or the Reverb (90 degrees), the Vive or Index (110 degrees), the Pimax (180 degrees), the StarVR is literally 210 horizontal degrees. The Pimax may claim 210 diagonal degrees, but this is 210 horizontal degrees. So how do they do it? This headset has integrated Tobii eye tracking, which recomputes the distortion profile on-the-fly by taking account your IPD and your pupils looking direction. This also allows for superior lenses where the sweet spot falls apart quicker, because the distortion errors can be mitigated through software (Unlike Pimax, for instance).

Seems overly optimistic to me, but it's good to see innovation in vr technology.

It’s still a fucking screen strapped to your face for $3000. Real VR won’t exist until retinal implants or believable interactive holograms.

>1,830 x 1,464 resolution per eye

shit, this is why those chinks don't mention proper resolution size

That's going to be some major horizontal pixel warping with the lens.

I mean, sounds cool in theory, but who the hell is gonna buy it now?
What was starbreeze thinking, investing so much into VR they nearly went bankrupt, and then putting out this?

theyre not chinks developing this.

>90hz for 3200$

lol

If they are funding it, they are developing it. they are Chinks

StarVR Corporation, of 25F, No. 88, Sec. 1, Xin Tai 5th Road, Xizhi, New Taipei City 221, Taiwan, R.O.C. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “StarVR”, “our” or “we”)

>some optic glasses and plastic costs 3200 dollars
this is why VR is a meme
the machine you'd need to RUN this is 2000 at least

AMOLED at higher than 90Hz doesn't exist. The colors are so superior to LCDs.

The people who have tried the headset described it as "scary". because of how real everything looks, like you're truly in the virtual world.

as someone who actually plays vr games, I'd rather have a higher refresh rate and resolution than better colors for a much higher price
index is superior in pretty much every way, and cheaper

more competition is cool
i'm all for more market adoption
means more good software
anyone except oculus niggers actively trying to segregate

It'd depend on what I'm sacrificing colour-wise. If it's black levels, I'll take the colour accuracy any day of the week. I have my Rift CV1 and I've tried my friend's Index, and dark scenes are fucked on the Index.

How much do you get paid to post here? I feel like a chump doing it for free rn

we need that great firewall to block Yas Forums
right now it only currently blocks video games

kek I was going to post this even if that chang didnt post
oculus? you mean the first company to actually attempt at bringing VR to consumers?
they're the ones trying to segregate?

Taiwan are as much china as americans are the british you absolute mongoloids

Does VR damage eyes or cause other health problems (with brain chemistry for example)?

not paid, just hyped about vr generally.

here's a pic of the lenses. they warp all around the headset.

probably not in the short term. long term who knows.

try cooming with VR and then come back

It can cause vergence-accommodation conflict, which the 3DS was also prone to doing, albeit to a lesser extent than VR because who the fuck plays with the 3-D mode on for more than 30min on a 3ds.

>AMOLED
Enjoy your virtual burn-in!

>muh sci-fi movies

Masturbation, playing games infront of a screen and eating ready made food you can buy in a store is a detriment to your health. Stop doing it

Ok but does it induce physical resistance or at least have haptic feedback?

What about god rays or any of the other problems that come with using bighuge lenses right now?

You know what's also a detriment to your health?
Having a prostate the size of a grapefruit that eventually kills you with cancer.

VR made me gay, because of it I bought striped thigh highs, a lovense edge and had countless of gay erp sessions with other losers in vrchat

>Starver

VR doesn't get rid of shit smells, you must stink you gay freak

>It can cause vergence-accommodation conflict
Yeah this is scary to me. Even if it fixes sometime after you take down the gadget means something is happening.

Don't be a retard. People in Taiwan are Chinese. People in America are no longer British.

Never happening in your life time, if this is your only comment why do you even bother posting, we've heard it a million times already

lol what are you even asking? You know it isn't going to. It's a headset not a fucking vest with motors built in

My point exactly, VR is a meme.

The horizontal Fov is easily the big downside of VR in my mind, I would downgrade my Rift S in virtually every aspect if it meant I could play with an FoV of around 200 degrees
