Well that’s pretty compelling!
Ever since the failure of Windows mixed reality, there hasn’t been many non-Meta HMD’s worth buying. At least with inside out tracking.
Maybe this will finally pressure Valve to lower the price on the venerable Index? Probably not. But one can hope!
Aren’t there still tons of headsets? Besides multiple HTC sets, pico, and then all the tethered ones…
Aren’t there still tons of headsets?
Definitely not on Linux.
Linux compatibility will be my question as well. If I’m forced to sign up with PSN I’m out LOL
Hopefully it just functions as a standalone headset and doesn’t need any proprietary software…
I’m encouraged by the facts that Sony’s game controller linux driver works with no signup, and that this announcement mentions needing a Steam account but says nothing about a PSN account.
This is disappointing, though:
some key features, like HDR, headset feedback, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback (other than rumble), are not available when playing on PC.
Ah so this one will be?
We don’t know. Sony added open source Linux drivers for their gamepads so I guess it’s not completely out of the question.
Ah ok then it sounds pretty out of context from the previous comment, unless I’m missing something.
Open drivers would be nice though, of course.
Probably not until the Deckard comes out. Would be cool if Sony added Linux drivers for the adapter.
I have a feeling there will be no Deckard. Why bother when Meta is investing billions into headset tech and then selling them for $500?
Sweet! I kept saying I’d consider getting this if it had PC support, soooo maybe I’m saving up now 👀
Doesn’t have HDR, and doesn’t have eye tracking? Those are two of its biggest selling points! What were they thinking?
Does it require a PSN account to use the adaptor?
