Despite consumers justifiably expecting something closer to $350, Oculus has said the headset is "obscenely cheap". The Oculus Rift launches in March for $600, and sold out within an hour of pre-orders going live even though this hefty price tag doesn't include controllers or other accessories. Vive is the second of three high-end VR headsets to be priced. It also boasts integrated smartphone compatibility called Vive Phone Service, which lets you answer and make calls and texts as well as look at calendar invites. The HTC and Valve collaboration has evolved since its last public showing, and the final consumer model had an overhauled strap. Pre-orders open at 10:00am ET on February 29, according to the Vive blog.
STEAM VR HEADSET CHEAP SIMULATOR
It's not just a headset, though that $800 nets you two wireless controllers and Lighthouse sensors, allowing users to experience room-scale VR right out of the box.įor a limited time, purchasers will also receive Job Simulator and Fantastic Contraption (trailers follow). If you live in a smaller country, its not going to be easy to find anything cheap. That's American dollarydoos, in case you thought maybe we'd missed a symbol. The Quest 2 is the only 'Cheap' (300) VR headset you can buy new. The Vive virtual reality headset has been priced at $799 ahead of an "early April" launch. ROOMSCALE VR gives you the freedom to move around and to gain an entirely new perspective on in-game worlds.
STEAM VR HEADSET CHEAP PS3
For example, you can use ping pong balls with LED (+ PSMoveService) + PS3 eye cam for positioning and Arduino + rotation sensor + buttons to get controllers -. The tracking system gives you your own personal GPS system right in your living room, accurate to a millimeter. TrueOpenVR will allow you to combine different trackers. I also wrote a SteamVR compatible driver. Steam VR won't come cheap, with Valve and HTC setting a price tag that makes the Oculus Rift looks positively thrifty. It will make a super cheap VR kit (controllers and headset).
