Microsoft is doing gods work for VR by pushing OEM's to work off of one hassle free standard with differences in headsets being regulated to things like resolution, refresh rates, and quality of life things like the monitor market.

thats what Valve was trying to do with SteamVR, it supports everything PC VR out there at the moment

and now everyone in the game except Microsoft is working together on an open standard called OpenXR though a consortium via the Khronos Group while MS is working on a closed standard ala DirectX for VR

Too bad Valve couldn't produce anything at a reasonable price point that could be easily set up anywhere.

they werent trying to, they are interested in making the highest fidelity in home VR tracking systems and they succeeded, nothing else is on par with Lighthouse, these MS backed HMDs use the same inside out that Hololens use which is decent but not nearly as fast or as accurate or precise, it also means their controllers lose tracking when your not looking at them where as Lighthouse can be used to track infinite objects in a full 3D volume

it's like comparing a gaming PC to a prebuilt Dell, they have different purposes

holy shit someone who is informed on /v/

i want to like these headset so bad even with new decent looking controllers they shown recently but Its only going to further muddy the waters on what the uniformed think vr is. just like how people now go "vive sucks cause i tried gear vr and that sucked"

>>376793160

the good news is that somewhere around 500+ companies last time i checked are fully licensed to use Valve's tracking tech, including some that are working on HMDs and im sure there will be lower end ones to compete in the same segment that the lower end MS backed HMDs do

>>376792219
just wanted to say you are the first non idiotic post about VR I have seen on /v/ so far.

On another note I skeptical of MS's controllers because I believe the headset keeps track of the controllers which certainly means that when the controllers are out of sight they will loose tracking. It just seems really bad all around, although the mixed reality seems like it could have some potential.

I'm personally more interested in that Microsoft is prioritizing accessibility. Those future open source headsets are neat, but the Microsoft ones are already real. I think it's honestly the biggest push to get VR to the mainstream, and once that happens, super high quality experiences like the Vive can take proper foothold.

the MS backed HMDs really are a great option for non-hardcoregaming stuff, you can run them off of essentially any relatively modern laptop with no setup and do things like watch VR media, play lighter games and use enterprise/educational software just fine. they would also be fine for anything like simulators where you arent moving around very much IRL. the specs on the upcoming ones we know of arent super great, particularly in the display area, but for $300 bucks theyre a great option for people

>>376794219
They'll also be cross compatible with the Scorpio.

>>376789795
bretty much

How to fix VR vomiting?

>>376794971

don't use shitty VR software or hardware without positional tracking

>>376794971
the system requirements come with a spew bucket, deal with it or dont be born asian
