Alright, day 3 of nightly vr news, you know the drill.

The previously mentioned Vive XR Elite was confirmed to be $1,099, and started preorders. If you preorder now you get 5 popular titles bundled with it, however those titles I could not find the names of. It has a combined 3840 x 1920 resolution.

A company known as Rendever, which focuses on creating vr experiences for the elderly to make those of them who are lonely feel less lonely, just acquired Alcove, a family social meet up platform. The links to their sites below

Razor just announced their Quest 2 Headstrap and facial interface. It is said to be made out of a high-performance nylon material to ensure quality weight distribution, a soft strap, and a slip on design. It is also said to block light while still allowing ventilation, and will supposedly eliminate facial pressure. It is also adjustable.

Here is a quote from them in a press statement

“Designed for long-lasting comfort and weight-balanced support, the Razer Adjustable Head Strap System was created with all head shapes in mind. The high-performance nylon material provides reliability, comfort, and durability while the optimized weight distribution allows for more balance during active gameplay. The soft adjustable straps will help gamers find their perfect fit and quick slip-on design ensures little interruption in resuming gameplay”

There’s a lot of promise in this head strap, but the one thing I’m not looking forward too is the price.

The platform known as Wave, known for hosting digital concerts, just partnered up with Pico despite ending their vr concerts a few years back. The concerts will be available on the Pico Neo 3 and the new quest competitor, the Pico Neo 4. Just note that these concerts will not be available in the US, and instead take place in Europe and Asia. (Unless you have one of these headsets in the US, I’m not too sure if it would work if you had it imported here)

Its debut concert is set to feature The Calvin Harris Experience, taking place on January 13th at 8:00PM GMT. It will last around an hour, with its contents being a five-minute preshow and 25 minutes exclusive extended set. (I don’t know what the latter is, however, it is included)

To join this concert, you need to download the Pico Video app from the headsets App Store, and choose the Calvin Harris experience in your video feed on the day of the concert.

Rebroadcasts will re-air daily on weekends starting Jan 14-26 at 8pm GMT.

On the Steam Hardware Survey, Windows Mixed reality was the fastest growing headset type in December, this is due to the HP Reverb G2 getting steel discounts. This is the first time this has happened in years. (Referring to Windows MR topic)

Not much news, sorry guys. This took a while to make do I hope you find this helpful. So goodbye, and goodnight!

Time for day 2 of vr news.

Starting off with the Psvr2, Gran Turismo 7 will be getting a free psvr 2 upgrade, and best saber is currently in development for the platform.

The upcoming Apple Vr/Ar headset had a couple of its features announced, and they are as follow

– A waist-mounted battery, connected via a magnetic, MagSafe-like power cable to the headset’s headband. One battery charge lasts no longer than two hours, but users can swap the battery out for longer sessions.
– A design that uses aluminum, glass, and carbon fiber to reduce its size and weight. Cameras are largely concealed for aesthetic reasons.
– A small, Digital Crown-like dial on its right side that enables users to quickly transition between the virtual and physical world. Unlike the Apple Watch, it will not offer haptic feedback.
– Apple has developed different headbands, including one for consumers made of a similar material to Apple Watch sport bands with built-in speakers, and one targeted at developers.
– Magnetically attachable custom prescription lenses for glasses-wearers.
– Small motors to automatically adjust its internal lenses to match the wearer’s interpupillary distance, providing the largest field of view possible for each individual.
– A 120-degree field of view, like the Valve Index – more than the Meta Quest Pro’s 106-degree field of view.
– The H2 chip for ultra-low latency connection with the second-generation AirPods Pro and future AirPods models.
– Two chips, including a main SoC, including a CPU, GPU, and memory, and a dedicated image signal processor. Both are fabricated with a 5nm process, meaning that the headset misses out on advancements expected to come to other Apple chips later this year. The chips communicate via a custom streaming codec that Apple was forced to develop due to unacceptable latency.

The headset known as the XTAL 3, known for being highly advanced (and highly expensive) is getting a wireless option, expecting to launch in late 2023.

A game known as “Smog in the Smoke” will be getting a psvr2 remaster known as “Smog in the Smoke: Rekindled”, and will release on February 22

HTC Is releasing a new consumer headset, reportedly called the Vive XR Elite, will most likely cost $1,400, and due to its features, (“listed here: https://www.roadtovr.com/htc-mr-headset-meta-quest-pro/), is currently being considered as a quest pro competitor.

And that’s it, sorry for being vague and for this not having much. Much of the news today was either

A.) Vague

B.) Containing very little besides a list of features and some minor details

Or

C.) containing little confirmed info and instead talked about leaks

But I hoped you enjoyed it nevertheless, goodbye fellow vr enthusiast!

Hello everyone! I’ve decided that I’m gonna post a vr news update every night! So stay tuned for that if you are interested.

Hello everyone, here a small, healthy dose of vr news that I will forcefully inject into your neck

Playstation and psvr titles confirmed for a free psvr 2 upgrade.

(This means the game will work on both psvr headsets instead of having 2 separate versions, however it also means in resident evil village’s case that it is getting a vr mode for psvr 2, but it was originally a flat screen game)

1.) After the fall

2.) No Man’s Sky

3.) Resident Evil Village

4.) Pistol Whip

5.) Zenith, the last city

6.) The Last Brigade

7.) Hello Neighbor: Search and Rescue

Later this year, a face tracking mask called “X Mask” Will be available for $90, and reportable has 95 percent accuracy. It will be available in the US and Japan

I’m a bit late to this but the Quest 2 will receive an automatic performance boost in apps as of v49, (not out yet)

And here is a list for all announced psvr 2 games.

Here’s Every Game Announced for PSVR 2

Well, that’s it everybody. I hope all of you found this helpful, as this took a while to write. (Although due to the time this is going to get buried and forgotten)

No news so far on anything new sadly. Hope you all are doing well. A funny video I came across about a few guys wanting to explore some paranormal activity in vr.

Vr name is Chyll-75 as on the site. I’m surprised nobody has guessed that yet. If you ever wanna get a game in. Let me at least know though first.

Hello fellow Vr users. Happy New Year. 2023 will hold new things and opportunities for Vr and will at best advance it. Have a great New Years Eve and week. Updates on what’s new will be coming.

Just got my brother a Oculus Quest 2 for Christmas and I set it up for him. Bro was so happy it made me happy. We got ESPIRE 2 and hope to play it some more. Although, we’re going to Georgia along with my parents and have to wait a week to play. I’m writing this at 11:32 pm and are flight is 5:00. We’ll, have a Merry Christmas!

To anyone with a quest/quest 2/quest pro, I recommend Pavlov shack

It has custom game modes

It has a huge variety of vanilla game modes

It has a gamemode called TTT (like Gmod) that I think is the best gamemode, kinda like among us except with more roles, no tasks, and the innocents could actually fight back. Oh yeah and with guns, knives, plasma cannons, and a whole variety of stuff.

Hello everyone. Happy holidays. Some new things are being added and updated on Quest 2. A game called “Hyper Dash” will be free to play by the end of December. A campaign is coming to the parkour game “Stride” by 2023. Also a game called “Blaston” is now free to play. All the things I have knowledge of so far.

New games coming to Quest 2. Saint and sinners new chapter just launched too a few days ago.

Can anyone tell me their experience or what they know of Resident Evil Vr. I’m going to get it, but want to know a little bit more of the game.

Ralph… I almost did it. Probably wouldn’t have slapped him, but who knows. Just woke up to find out my controller has a big black mark on it and marks everywhere. It’s not coming off! To those if you play Oculus. I know y’all care for it (supposed to) but if you let any other play on it. Please check the controller and oculus itself. Tell them to as well. Man I’m upset, he’s gonna have to buy me a new left controller now.
