VR one is the response to Samsungs gear vr

[Rbolsen]

Carl Zeiss responds to the samsung gear VR with the VR one, it has gotten the price of $99 and it will be compatible with most phones with a screen size from 4.7 to 5.5 inches. it will have about half the price of a Gear VR.

One? Who the hell are they? Microsoft?

 

Looks cool.

[DigitalHermit]

not another 'one'...

 

How many 'one's do we need on the market?

I still don't quite get what you could use this for. A smartphone doesn't have enough power to get some good visuals and how would connecting it to a pc work?

I hate this

 

VR is already becoming a race to the bottom and these products are barely even out of the gate (most of them are not even available)

 

Normally new and upcoming tech starts at silly high prices like 4k, and slowly drops, but with VR we seem to be starting at the bottom, I know they want the tech to be accessible to the masses, but its emerging tech and generally people expect to pay more for exciting new products

 

I would rather have an amazing £300 headset, than a shitty £100 one

So you are basicly saying we should pay the price for hypes? Because that's the cause of the ridiculous devalution of some hardware in the spawn of few months sometimes.

From with my limited knowlege about each subject, I highly doubt that the costs of making a 4k panel (R&D, get a production line well tuned, market it, and get shelf space) would match the costs of a VR headset that is already using hardware that has been on the market for quite some time, wich has production lines already tuned and the production is already flowing with loads of purchase orders.

This device works with smartphones, so it's not just a shitty €100 euros headset, it's €100 + the price of a smartphone.

In the case of headset that uses an existing smartphone yes

 

I was talking in generalities with VR as a whole, that does not use an existing smartphone

Stop with the "One" names please, I'm so sick of it. It's stupid.

Well I look at it this way: there are two trends - dedicated VR headsets and VR headsets to be used with external devices. One will deliver the best quality the other will deliver just enough quality to enjoy the experience.

The prices will make that clear in the end.

One more please?

[Techhog]

ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL
