Yeah possibly. Although honestly in this case I’m ok with the yearly price tag. I mean either a new headset like the Index V2 gets released this year and I just sell the Varjo, having paid only 1 year subscription. Or in 2 years still nothing better has come along in which case I’m still happy having paid 2 years the subscription.

I think by 2022 we have a whole new realm of competition. It would make sense for Varjo to stop charging the service fee and to reduce prices in order for them to stay competitive.
Index 2, Galea, Quest 3, Half dome, Samsung oddysey 3, Psvr2, vive proton, CREAL are all coming this or next year supposedly.

Companies already do this in some ways. A few companies I have worked for own an ideas an employee has that could be linked to forming it by learning that companies process and techniques. They often have an incentive for low reward on coming up with great ideas that save the company lots of money. Great idea herecis $50 to $100 on your next pay.
Agreed and at one time some pc manufactures had implemented things in the bios to prevent MSDOS from being installed on PCDOS machines.
The greatest way to move forward is together for that reason.

Man I surely hope so! The good thing is that the number of SteamVR users is steadily growing so as long as that is happening the VR future is looking good

I hope there’s some sort of collaboration with companies to create a bit more parity between headsets. I’m going to assume Oculus keeps to themselves, while Valve will work with WMR and HTC(or they all just work with the same screen manufacturer with Valve producing lenses) and a bunch of headsets come out with the same good resolution/good FOV headsets, so we can choose a headset based on other features. Want the best tracking? Pay more for Index 2, otherwise a WMR with camera tracking it is. Having that parity should keep costs down if everything is created in bulk.
Either that or I hope Pimax lets us buy a different lens insert for something like 130 FOV using the full panel, because my 8KX is pretty solid, just the fact that everything isn’t always geometrically correct/distortions. Quest 2 gives me the best 3D effect out of any headset I’ve had. Just need that + big FOV.

I’ve reduced wobbling a lot by changing hinge from left to right and lowering the mount to the back of the head on my 8KX.
You don’t need to buy a Bluetooth adapter if you have an Android smartphone. Just download Lighthouse PM from google play. And I don’t have any problem with room setup, just spent 5 min, also on another PC of my friend, which has Vive Pro+TP cast, it just work when I downloaded PiTool and plugged HMD. Now he wants to buy Pimax 8KX

I just got an email from Varjo that the lead time is 2-3 months! So if you’re getting it next week then it’s definitely better to NOT buy it directly from Varjo …

I’ll let you know if bestware will be able to stick to their estimates.

Hi @Djonko,
I‘ll be taking delivery of my VR-3 today.
I hope to get the chance to give it a try over the weekend and will post my first impressions on the forum.
