I’m Finally Excited About VR Again! - Bigscreen Beyond Review

[AdamFromLTT]

PS VR2? I don’t want to use a Playstation 5. Valve Index? Too Big. Meta Quest 3? I don’t want to deal with Mark Zuckerberg's wackiness. Thankfully, a new headset to end all headsets has reared its tiny little head. The Bigscreen Beyond is an incredible headset with 2 micro-OLED displays, pancake lenses in the tiniest package we’ve yet seen.

Why is there a swastika at 12:38

 

As for the headset, looks interesting despite all the drawbacks. It does feel like a first generation product of its type though.

Don't be weird...

 

Product looks really interesting though love to see the industry expanding into immersive experiences.

It was honestly what I saw when this popped up.

Yes, it does. I have a few VR headsets, both PS versions and the Index. The PSVR2 is excellent for the price and in many ways the best sub £1k headset. This new device trumps it on technology by quite a way. It just has too many quirks. The 3D printed face mount looks like a recipe for disaster unless cleaned every use, a luxury abode for bacteria and fungi. I am sure the wearers face needs washing quite soon after an energetic session too.

I think we are getting closer to everyday portable VR glasses. I think sooner than thirty years at this pace.

 

We need a 1000X improvement in compute/power

A 100X improvement compute/cost

We need a 10X improvement in the batteries across all metrics

A 10X improvement in volume and weight

The resolution and frame rate are close enough

Sensors are close enough

A 10X improvement in latency, mostly achieved by faster and closer compute

Lenses are close enough, a 2X improvement in FoV and a 2X improvement in distorsion
A 100X improvement in price/resolution of the screen and lenses

This should get a 100$ to 1000$ device that you can wear all day and do useful VR/AR

 

You can skip some improvement in compute density and power if you get a 100X improvement in LTE bandwidth and a 10X improvement in LTE latency

Would like to find out more about the story behind this team.  They don't even have a wikipedia page.

I know that this product is still very new... but does anybody know how well this product works with a thunderbolt 4 to dp adapter or hdmi to dp adapter because I would like to hook it up to my laptop to use for watching movies in hotel rooms. Thanks in advance for any info

Finally, was waiting for Linus opinion before ordering. Shipping only next year though.
