It will be the first consumer headset with eye-tracking and foveated rendering, and also the first one to feature haptics directly on the headset. The expected price is around $900 There has been a lot of talk around the OWO haptic vest, a very lightweight T-shirt able to provide vibrational and electrical feedback directly on your skin.
