HP teases ‘next gen’ VR headset made with Microsoft and Valve’s help

[ad_1] The first Reverb wasn’t a revolution in design, but it did stand out with a sharp 2,160 x 2,160 pixels per eye. It won’t be surprising if HP pursues bragging rights once again, especially when its Twitter teaser claims the new Reverb is the “next benchmark” in VR gear. We wouldn’t count on Valve […]

Oculus Go is on sale for $120 at Amazon for Cyber Monday

[ad_1] The same caveats apply. The Go is limited to tracking head movements, not body movements like the Oculus Quest, and the lone remote is relatively simple. You’ll want to pass if you dream of playing Beat Saber. We found the Go ideal for basic apps and videos, however. It’s easy to use, comfortable and […]
