HP Announces Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition
HP has today announced the Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition VR headset with advanced tracking technology to create "human centric" experiences. The HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition VR headset is an upgraded version of the recently released HP Reverb G2 headset with added cameras and sensors to track eye movement, pupillometry, heart rate, and facial expressions. This data can be used with the advanced machine learning algorithms of the Omnicept SDK to capture physiological responses. The headset's firmware safeguards the sensor data at every moment of capture and no data is stored in the headset.
The HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition VR headset maintains the impressive resolution, inside-out tracking, and 3D audio of the HP Reverb G2 while adding a suite of new sensors and cameras to deliver enhanced monitoring. These new sensors enable eye tracking and gaze to determine focus and engagement levels while also enabling foveated rendering for reduced GPU and higher image quality. They also allow for heart rate monitoring which can be used in wellness treatments along with facial expression monitoring capabilities for more natural and engaging conversations. The HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition is expected to be available in Spring 2021. Pricing will be shared closer to product availability. HP Omnicept SDK is expected to be available in Spring 2021 and will include a flexible business model.

What is this lack of specific information?
Will it challenge the "index" for supremecy?
Quack quack quack and further quack more?
Whaadda bout dlssssssssss optimization infatuation for the proliferation of hiher res~esque quality per eye @ decent frames and all that acid mariachi jazz?
What about half alyx life? How will this allow urs to play the game for free @ 20000000x10000000 7000 frames per ms on my couch phone!?
Tostada!
index just doesn't bring much to the table, especially considering the insane price tag.
meanwhile, you can go on ebay right now and get super high-res reverb1 and have a blast!
I feel 2.8 to 3k per eye is the sweetsop with minimum 1051 ppi like reverb and 140 FOV will be perfected .
I still prefer my WMR headset over the Vives at work, but holy hell the Cliff House and 'drivers' for WMR are a trainwreck that need some love.
At least if foveated rendering with eye tracking becomes an expected standard we can realistically get HMDs with high enough resolutions that the screen door effect becomes a non-issue without needing a PC from 2023 to run it. Which at least might tempt more people to buy in despite the iffy software (as long as the games and experiences are decent). Which might again lead to increased effort put into the base software. The point being, this cycle needs breaking, and it needs it sooner rather than later.
