First VR Produc
I originally bought this after looking for hours at different VR headsets. I can’t speak for others who have tried numerous headset generations and comparing to the Index but I am overall happy with the headset.
I also purchased with this headset a smaller profile face pad which increased my FOV slightly and a cable management track to help hold the cable out of the way.
The visuals are crisp, the 5k display is great, you do not perceive any screen door effect, and the high refresh rates allow for really smooth gameplay. As everyone says this does get let down by the lenses. In menus and beat saber I immediately noticed the so called ‘god rays’ although when actually playing I never noticed this as they only appear on high contrast menus (white text on black background) in HL Alyx gameplay I never noticed this. Finding the sweet spot is important in reducing artifacting and making sure the lenses are as close as possible to your eyes, which is a problem for any people such as my partner who wears glasses, they need the lenses moved further away, severely reducing FOV and increasing distortion. Contacts can help but there are some other headsets which have adjustments to allow prescription adjustments.
The tracking is also a strong point as the Vive Pro 2 comes with 2 lighthouse bases for room scale tracking which works flawlessly and allows you to switch out for any number of accessories like leg trackers, or to even swap out the controllers. I will be swapping out the controllers for the Index ones which feature finger tracking, the Vive controllers I found are not great for gaming and are clunky.
It’s difficult to say if I would have gotten the Index as in pure specs the Vive Pro 2 beats it which was the deciding factor for me. It feels very much like a push of last gen tech, and the argument for the Index Vs Pro becomes challenging, apparently the lens design on the Index is better.
I think overall this gives you the best of both worlds, if I could get this as a bundle with Index controllers I would do it in a heart beat. I will likely keep this for a few years and when the time is right and other tech has matured I will likely go down the upgrade path of the Bigscreen Beyond which should be a drop in replacement to the existing ecosystem although that headset alone at the time of reviewing is about the same cost as any leading VR kit.
Impressive
It’s amazing, much better than my nephews oculus quest by miles. The high resolution of the display makes this a dream to use. Tracking is spot on and the audio is fantastic. Running on a 6800XT, 5800X3D, 64GB RAM.
Work perfectly for FullBody VR
So first of all, I bought these in 2022 for the price of 128.99 and now they are 139. Kind of sucks but not the end of the world.
However these trackers are great, I was looking at Tundra’s VS Vive 3.0’s but couldn’t get my hands on Tundras as they were sold out (at the time). My Vive’s have been working perfectly since I bought them, no tracking issues whatsoever and always connect without fail.
I do recommend them even though trackers aren’t cheap, it changes how VR feels and once you go fullbody you can’t really ever go back to half body, it feels wrong.
Overall a good purchase.
leggies
I now have 4 vive trackers, all are great and super easy to setup, i use three for my lower body and then the fourth on the front of my quest for continuous calibration, super cool and will change ur vr experience.
Legit, best thing for VR
Incredible price, got 3 of them and it did the trick and they came in all brand new! Don’t think about if you should get these, just get them, they are incredible.
10/10
One of the best products on the market for easy full body Tracking
It’s not the most affordable but it is the most accurate for full body tracking. Can be used just in small play spaces, but would recommend buying this in larger play spaces if you have one. Three are usually required for full body tracking, so save up some money.
Great for full body tracking
Brought 4 of these to go alongside my other 2.0 trackers for full body. Well worth the investment, and last as long if not longer than the 2.0 trackers connected to trackstrap+ power packs.
Much smaller size, and being lighter weight, they’re a lot more comfortable to have attached. Just make sure you don’t have much interference in the area, and have enough usb bandwidth available.
Great little trackers!!
Not gonna lie they had my scared. They sent the 3 trackers in one massive corsair box. I thought inhad received the wrong product. But it was just the box. All of them work and are perfect working condition too
If you have the money just go for it, it’s actually incredible how much more immersive it makes you feel, apart from it being expensive its amazing I’ve managed to hit these against the walls and other things multiple times and only tiny scratches have appeared
Great so far. So sharp and easy to get setup. Upgraded from the quest 2.
My only gripe is that it’s a lot more expensive than the competition and it comes with the older controllers. The headphones are fine but not as good as the index. And the foam it comes with limits the FOV slightly.
literally have a tail, and legs.. i can dance, switch my hips, i can wiggle and jiggle and dance to my hearts content…
real easy to set up
instructions were very easy to follow, works right out the box!
