Better and cheaper?
« on: April 13, 2017, 05:28:21 PM »
All may not be lost for those of you who are unhappy with the current crop of VR hmd’s.  As others have rightly pointed out in other threads, current VR devices are generation 1 but the VR space is continuing to get crowded as companies with means see its potential and gear up to grab a slice of the VR pie, most notably Microsoft.  Even Apple is beefing up its laptops in order to support VR.   Prices will come down, specs will improve, including having no need for IR tracking cameras… for example, Acer and Lenovo appear to jumping in by partnering with MS:

So if you’re still interested in VR but not happy with your current options for hmd's, don’t give up the ship just yet.  Looks like HiTech may not be done having to code in support for these gizmos just yet….

FWIW,
