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!
