HTC Vive Pro VR Virtual Reality Headset

Absolutely amazing.I’ve had the htc vive and this is far superiorI’m an avid sim race and flight sim enthusiast and this headset makes it look real enough to become more immersed.I’ve had to turn on supersampling and asynchronous reprojection In steam. Once this is enabled, the headset transforms into a truest sharp picture.Very expensive but worth it if you like your vr as real as it can bePs I bought direct from htc as it’s more expensive on amazon at the moment

It is an incredibly comfortable headset. No dizziness for me and most that have tried mine.With a suitable graphics card and a PC that is at least a quad core i7, this will provide an amazing experience. In some ways its therapeutic.You need also two base stations and at least one paddle. Vive do their own base stations (AKA light houses) but for larger spaces there is an alternatives. A good Internet connection is highly recommended - there s a lot to download when changing VR experiences.Now is a good time to buy as NVidia graphics card prices are on the slide due to the decline in the bitcoin market. You need at least an NVidia 1080 (or equivalent from another supported vendor) but for realistic Ray Tracing capability, one of the NVidia 2080 series is best. The graphics card must have a display port.I've stopped using it with XPlane 11 flight sim only because it is too addictive but with a powerful graphics card and full AI, the experience becomes extraordinarily realistic.Until a few months ago this was a top of the range. There's a new headset on the horizon with 4K per eye and 220 degree viewing angle but not from Vive and is USB-C (the future standard agreed for VR headsets). This model doesn't have USB-C but delivered with the required hardware. Setting up of the VR the first time can be a bit tricky.VR is not quite real life but the available media out there for games and eduction is phenomenal - highly recommend Google Earth VR, Apollo 11 Mission, The Lab, etc. Kids would enjoy walking amongst dinosaurs and its something the whole family would enjoy.While a fan of Apple Computers, getting them working with graphics processors (eGPU's) s has been tricky. Microsoft Windows (10 ideally) is currently the most supported platform for games and VR software.I hope you get one and enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine!
