The Varjo has a secondary high res screen overlaid, but it doesn't move. There *is* eye-tracking in the headset but the high res portion of the screen doesn't move to follow it. Also, it's silly money for the headset plus a yearly sub, which is also expensive (tho not sure if required or a "maintenance" style contract). Also, found that has to be fed very carefully as fovea screen runs at 60fps and backing at 75 fps IIRC, so tearing in the centre portion becomes very noticeable against a non-torn BG. There's a faint outline around fovea screen as well, not sure if you'd notice if not looking for it though. Reading text (e.g. spines of books in scanned scene) and control panels etc. is super-good on the high res screen though. Probably very useful for high-end CAD work, definitely not a consumer HMD.Kernowgaz wrote:How close is the tech for the headset know where you’re looking so that actual area has a stunning resolution and everything else isn’t as good?

I mentioned in the thread earlier the Nat Geo thing which would probably go down as an experience app. Ocean Rift maybe? That's just floating around in the sea with sea creatures (or in a shark cage).pantyfire wrote:Are there any 'experience' apps? Like visit the pyramids type of thing?
Not yet but we'll put a gear order together later this yea so perhaps then.SpaceGazelle wrote:

I'm basically asking because I really want one of these but the wife would only be interested if there are experience type of things and not games.Scout wrote:I mentioned in the thread earlier the Nat Geo thing which would probably go down as an experience app. Ocean Rift maybe?
