Check this out

So ive been eyeing up the rift, However im going to hold my money out to see what this is like, Ill be waiting for updates etc and hopefully or should DCS support it. Anyway heres the link check them out:

There will be a number of high resolution 2nd gen VR sets appearing in the coming months I suspect. I'd expect that Oculus are still going to be market leaders and we'll hear from them soon. HTC seem to have jumped the gun and announced an intermediate solution already, but they've probably got more to announce too.

We can expect wireless solutions, glove controllers, wider field of view, forward facing cameras to implement augmented reality too.

Star VR have a lot of catching up to do, so it may be a bit of a leap in the dark if you pin your hopes on them at this stage.

You're right not to leap right now, because these developments are probably less than a year away now.

Best advice would be to wait and see what the reviews say when the press get hold of the 2nd generation equipment.

Yea i was so close to buying a rift, If rift do do this id stick with a rift, Looks good tho.

Have you seen anywhere that StarVR will develop and come out with a consumer version?

StarVr has been around since the beginning with Oculus and Vive, but they have made statements and have no interest in making a consumer version headset. There only dealing with companies for entertainment.

Well... They are following the OpenVR standard that Valve started by making own VR standard available for HTC first closed, then later opening it and calling "OpenVR".

And that is the key now here on the Vive/Steam side, that you have this one standard how software and hardware should work. You have the "lighthouse" laser beam reflectors and then dozens of tiny cameras in HMD and every controller reading the position of the "lighthouse" in their field of view.

And then you have all combined to software as well for calibration and configuration etc.

And that is what they are doing, following the OpenVR standard by using specific IR sensitive sensors in HMD and coming to be compatible with the controllers from others as they can just leave it to OpenVR side and not even consider it by themselves other way than implementing the Bluetooth to HMD so controllers can communicate with the HMD to send their data to computer.

The idea of the "OpenVR" standard is that you don't really need to work with Valve than just follow the specifications. That instead going a own route or going what Oculus has done (their trademark).

Interesting part is the 6:05 and 11:15 part about the FOV.

Well if they start selling to home users that would be great.. This is one of there companies that is part of StarVR look at all the games they got. I have a email sent to these guys if they would sell a home use headset.
