There are hands tracking and eye tracking , but they are almost never exploited. It has better FOV, better computational power, better environment understanding than HoloLens, and it also has acontroller, hands tracking and eye tracking. That’s really bad. Other considerations. Final impressions.

Truly next-gen VR (featuring a fantastic display and very wide FOV, varifocal resolution, eye tracking, haptics controllers, etc…) will take many years to realize. Personally, I don’t believe this will happen , since Apple has always said it is not interested in VR, but a rumor says so.

In my opinion , the true error is with the Vive 1 , that will get a price that is higher than the one of all the competitors… and that will cost as much as a Samsung Odyssey, notwithstanding its far lower features. But we also know that when in VR, most people just look forward with their eyes. Vive Focus comes to the west.

A Bluetooth-enabled controller is what sets the Daydream HMD apart from other current smartphone-powered VR headsets (the Samsung Gear VR is really the only true competitor in this quality tier, distinctly above a Cardboard-style headset). Although not as robust as the HTC Vive controllers, the wand-like controller is easy to use… and fun.
