Is it just me, or do they only have the headset, replacement left controller, and replacement tether available? You can’t buy the entire kit?
They ran out of them. The index hasn’t been produced for almost a year now, and first they ran out of spare lighthouses (though HTC still sells compatible ones) and now it seems they ran out of the full kits and put all the rest to a clearance sale.
1600p per eye and it’s over 400 euros on sale. That’s…not remotely good value for that price. I can get a Reverb G2 for about 150 bucks which has 2160p per eye.
Granted, the maximum refresh rate is a bit lower, but the resolution makes a massive difference and imho it’s what really matters in VR.
Doesn’t the G2 have notably much worse tracking accuracy?
Could be, I don’t know. I played HL Alyx on it with the Oasis drivers and it worked really well for me.
20% blowout sale honestly is making me consider going index lol. But I could never justify having to mount the lighthouses
I put mine on tripods most of the time.
That was… Brief.
Well, it’s over 7 years old now, and they just released it’s successor at about the same price point
I meant the announcement. 😛
I wonder what will happen to the lighthouses. They are relied on by a lot of VR stuff. Is HTC going to make them? This could be awful news for the space if nobody is going to manufacture themHTC Vive have took over, for now at least.
That’s a relief. The lighthouses are the only part I’ve had die on their own.
