And when I put the headset on, I could see the grey intro environment, with all the controllers moving regularly. , but sometimes it is still tricky and problematic. WTF SteamVR.

The Reverb was already a very good headset (as you can read in my hands-on impressions ) with good comfort and an astonishing resolution, but it had some problems with the display (mura, red smearing) and with the controllers (classical mediocre WMR tracking). built in to headband Controllers ?—?6DOF pounds (0.55kg) Cable Length: 19.5

I need to rush out this newsletter episode because otherwise tomorrow Apple launches its headset and no one will read my articles: everyone will be too busy reading “The top 5 features of the Apple headset” or “The 7 reasons why the Apple headset can revolutionize peeling potatoes”. How is Apple going to sell this headset?

At this point, there is another question that every one of us is making: is this a controlled leak by Valve itself? I’m not saying that it is absolutely a controlled leak… I just want to say that personally, I believe that it is. It may just be someone from Valve that is inside the /r/Vive community.

I think there were people early on, like the folks at Sixth Sense who have the hand controllers. They were talking about there are a wide variety of things you can do with these hand controllers for VR. And that was with controllers. It makes the Pro Eye more expensive than the other HTC offerings for sure. Dean: Yeah.

The documentation was the same as before, if not for the fact that in the page about headset Input page, there was also a reference to “Oculus Jedi” controllers. Even the modified one with the header file talking about controllers just leaks the constant of their name. Something like the Valve Index controllers.
