VARJO?

First I have heard of VARJO was in todays 5/29/2020 Weekend Newsletter.

What does this mean for us?

Can we get some info from ED about VARJO with DCS?

It means nothing to most of us !

I'd be a dead man if the wife caught me spending 10k on a headset and card to run it :)

have you seen the price of these

VR-2 Pro: 5995€

VR-2: 4995€

Yep...wow.. I just saw the pricing...

Maybe one day they will have a "consumer" model people can actually afford with ground breaking resolution.

You can use it now in DCS

See screenshots of the A-10C

"With Varjo's ultra-high resolution support for SteamVR and OpenVR content, the visual fidelity is crystal clear in the professional applications. These are unedited pictures shot through a competitor device and Varjo when using the DCS World simulator. "

R-2 Pro comes with advanced integrated Ultraleap.

That looks cool too.

VR-2 version is cheaper than the XTAL. And some people here have actually purchased that, so I wouldn't be surprised if we'd see a "pulled the trigger on VARJO VR - First impressions" thread pop up somewhere on the VR sub-forum :P

that's the leap vr needs. if only they can get that price down. I wonder how it performs. I suspect better than expected due to the foveated rendering.

For such a cutting edge device (and serious price tag), the 87deg. FOV of the VR-2, is quite disappointing. But they probably weren't focusing on the gaming market :smilewink:

I can tell something from using XR-1. The image is so sharp in the center that it's like putting real eye glasses on and watching real instruments. It looks more real than usual HMD's because it takes away the aliasing in the image. The center image is rendered as a separate view which causes the LOD's to be on higher fidelity than the side image. It's a bit strange effect when houses pop up in the center view on far distances. This center image can at least fit Hornet displays in the sharp area. Overall combined FOV is weak. When in Hornet cockpit and watching down to the center display can't see anything outside from peripheral view because the image is cut just barely to the sides of the cockpit window. Also the sides are blurry but maybe it's more because the center is so sharp so it appears worse than it actually is. After using Varjo it's kind of hard to adjust on bad quality in consumer HMD like Index. But I would not buy one for home usage yet. It need's better fov and side clarity. At least they used to be trying to achieve center image that would move to where ever eyes are pointing. That moving sharp image if combined with high FOV would be something worth buying, but who knows when it will happen.
