It is pretty narrow but also what makes it work, IMO. I don't have them for immersion but for display replacement. The narrow field of view lets the 1080p display have nearly 0 screen door effect. Plus, the birdbath optics are really cheap compared to waveguides or fancy lenses in VR headsets.
This has been on my radar for a while to compliment my steam deck. But I believe it doesn't do head tracking with the steam deck or does it? I just want a floating screen in front of me that stays still when moving my head around, otherwise I'm gonna hurl!
I think it's great for my Deck but, that will indeed be a problem. The headset contains only the sensors and display systems but, none of the logic circuitry to "pin" displays. Including that would increase the price a good deal.
Understood thanks for the feedback. After posting you reignited my interest and I found out that they also have their product called beam which would do the trick to make a spatial display... if you're willing to cough up another 120 for it!
Yeah... I'm not :P But, I am plotting a DIY solution. A solution that will probably cost more than $120 on components but, I think it will still be worth it.
