We attempted to use the Reverb G2 for a training sim but their equivalent of ASW wasn’t up to snuff. Lots of jumping around between frames. Shame, because the display was really sharp, a good answer to the short-lived Rift S.
They thought they were going to sell it to the US Army as a combat HID but they were far too frail and gave people motion sickness. Additionally, to develop for it you needed to use their Windows-only dev tooling. Any serendipitous killer app was not going to happen. The product was DOA.
I still use the HP Reverb G2 for flight sim and I’m wondering how this will effect it. The Mixed Reality app comes up just from connecting the headset to the PC and AFAIK needs to be open in order for the VR to work. I guess it’ll just be deprecated and still there.
Sadly I don't think they're popular enough to let that sort of thing happen. I've seen attempts to make them work on Linux, but never to full functionality.
What does “not full functionality” mean here, no head movement or you can’t use the cameras? Cus as long as I can play the games I’e got through steamvr I’m happy
Position: Experimental 6DoF tracking support with external SLAM/VIO systems is upstreamed but still being worked on. Tested with RealSense D455 and Samsung Odyssey+, Reverb G2, Oculus Rift S.
Additional Notes: HMD only, no controllers. Tested: HP Reverb, HP Reverb G2, Samsung Odyssey, Lenovo Explorer, others: maybe.
I meant a successor to the index. Preferably standalone. The rumoured Deckard if you will. I’d like to update my headset and I don’t want to buy another meta product. While it’s true that the OP was about software, it locks out a branch of hardware from being viable.
