What's so great about the headset? I'm not much into VR so I don't have the knowledge to know why this news is so exciting?
For me, I mostly want to play VR games on my PS5, but I also want to play Half Life Alyx. So this ist hopefully a way to do this.
Also this headset is quite nice with an ok price.
A major option for PC VR are Windows Mixed Reality headsets. They are all wired with inside out tracking. Microsoft recently announced WMR is going to be depreciated, and the next version of Windows won't have WMR available. This means sooner than later, all of us with WMR will need to "upgrade". And by upgrading, it means looking into either the aging Index, older Vives, a Meta Quest headset (which has its own compatibility quirks), or a bigscreen beyond.
PSVR2 is the logical upgrade path for those of us without base station tracking and don't mind the cord.
Thanks for the reply. Those headsets will be paperweights after MWR is deprecated? There's no alternative support for them?
I could be wrong, but I believe WMR requires the WMR Portal app and the WMR For Steam VR (from steam) to function properly. I think there has been SOME progress made with unofficial support, mainly driven by the Linux crowd where they dont work at all, but not anything resembling a functional replacement.
