I mean when you consider the end point of VR would be something similar to Johhny Quest's VR world, a fully immersive interactive experience, then the headset alone isn't maximizing the potential. I'd compare it to the hoverboards that exist currently and our idea of what the hoverboard should be. So no, I don't think it's going anywhere, it's just that the current reality of VR doesn't match with what we really want it to be.
I don't know what type of hardware no doubt running on something high end usually many of these demos are run on at least an RTX 3080 or RTX3080ti not very often I see RTX3090 being used. Most of the VR people I follow say RTX 3070ti is minimum I would recommend by my simulator is running an RTX 3070 with HP Reverb G2 with the updated higher resolution 5k optics pretty well. The thing is my simulator is running Windows 10 professional and newer titles seem to have problems with Windows 10 so far I have been lucky. I own Quest 2, HTC Vive 2 Pro not a fan of wires but has the best display and HP Reverb G2 update. HP Reverb G2 update has been the sleeper of the bunch having easily the best overall experience in terms of image quality, ease of use and supporting Steam titles as well as tight Microsoft store integration. Popping between Microsoft store and Steam is a trip.
Open AI getting into the Holodeck game maybe in the future in mixed reality be able to setup the furniture in your house without needing any at first to see how it looks using OpenAI. Or outdoor gaming where your backyard becomes full of virtual obstacles that block you during a game of laser tag.
They explained the reason why they decided not to increase the resolution if you believe them is due to back-lighting used to improve contrast it's substantially better then the Pico Neo contrast and color. They are using two different sources to achieve this effect but they did improve the FOV and the brightness. They felt that increasing the resolution without working on the contrast and brightness would be costly in the end. They also said the SOC is being pushed hard as it is and could be another generation before a major upgrade on the SOC. The brightness, color and contrast are according to people who have used it is best in class. I would like to try it as I own 4 VR headsets and the best image quality and brightness goes to HP Reverb G2 update the best FOV to HTC Vive Pro 2 I really have problems recommending the Oculus Quest 2 due to needing constant software updates and and can take some time. How happy am I about the Reverb G2 I own two of them and if HP ever releases a stand alone version it would be a winner. Only downside its FOV is around the same just marginally better then the Oculus Qwest 2 but the image quality is on another level.
