All questions I wanted to ask right here!

The open source nature of this headset is very exciting. It looks like the lenses might be canted, how much binocular overlap does the headset have?

The passthrough sounds good - although what I'd really love is to be able to define a window of passthrough independent of the VR program currently running (e.g. to be able to see my keyboard or keep an eye on my phone). Is anything like that going to be possible?

I am very curious as to how the AR/XR will work, will it ship with software or an environment you can selectively bring in real world elements/mask things in/out and track those real world elements in the VR 3d space? Or will someone have to write/create that software/environment?

Question: Will it have brightness control for those like me with sensitive eyes who need to dial it way down ?

Amazing!!! You said about the passthrough camera that it is 4k camera resolution per eye, what about the full latency from camera capture to display rendering? Thanks

dont know if there allredy is, but are there going to be trackers that work over wi-fi insted of wires? coz that would be quite nice could use entire room over wifi

I'm so hyped that a VR/XR company finally does full color pass through right and as we/I want it.

Did it have integrated sound or not? Didn't quite understand what he said other than having a jack for 3rd party headphones aswell (or only?)

Doubt this will get answered here, but will all of the raw camera feeds be accessible? I would assume so due to the open nature of the hmd.

How much does it weigh? It looks very nice, and I'd be interested when they release a standalone, but weight is very important and it looks kinda heavy.

Very interesting. I’ll keep my eye on this one, looks awesome for flight simulation. FFR included?

Cool seb!

Exciting looking hardware! Two major concerns though are audio and vision correction. Hoping a mod comes along that allows me to take the speakers off my Valve Index to be used with this headset. I don't want to use earbuds and I sure as hell don't want to have to use a separate set of headphones. Good quality audio is essential for VR immersion! As for vision correction, there was no mention at all on how comfortable it is for people that wear glasses, or if it will offer some sort of minor vision correction adjustment like is rumored to potentially be a feature with Deckard (if we ever see it). Aside from those two areas, this headset looks very good and will definitely be on my short list.

Are you going to support the new AV1 encoder or at least HEVC? Maybe an oversight on my part but are you going to ship controllers with this headset? I don't wanna invest into light-house tracking anymore at this point as the market clearly shifts towards inside-out tracking? If not, what alternatives are there? Perhaps we can make Quest 2 / Quest Pro controllers work with it? So happy to see you're actively designing the anchor points for custom headstraps.

it was stated on their website for their first release they are focusing on just delivering the pcvr experience because of supply chain issues for their first headset, and not doing the standalone mode. though i feel like the battery life wont be a huge issue mainly because the cameras on the front dont always have to be on or being used even if it was being used wirelessly, which when you also consider its form factor it has much more room for 1 larger or possibly even 2 larger batteries for this and a usb-c port to connect your own batteries.

Unfortunately somnium does not have Variable focal displays where the eye tracking automatically enables the user to focus on close objects like the half dome once showed us

looks good, but if the display isn't qled with local dimming for close to oled blacks, then its hard to choose it over the crystal. 2023 looks like the year of high end headsets though, at last an improvement to 5k, bye bye fresnel, and better blacks

If you are into AR, this could be a good headset. But I am afraid all this features will make it very expensive. I would pay maximum 700€, maybe 800 if it comes with good sound (but if I understood correctly it doesn't have any speakers right?) I still have many questions: 1. Whats the price ? 2. How good does it work when you wear glasses? 3. How heavy is it? 4. How good it the comfort when playing long sessions? How warm does it get? Does the lenses get fogged up? 5. How does it work with steamVR, do you need any extra software? How does steam find the headset when it's working wireless? 6. How long can you play wireless without charging? 7.

I do have a question...I wonder what Artur's thoughts are on foveated rendering? - does he think that something like Nvidia's driver-level-only VRSS 2 is the way forward, or does he think the game code itself (game loop and game engine) should, ideally, also offer an optimised foveated render pathway in order to fully unlock this technology? For interest, can he share an indication of, for each 'typical' game frame (real...not DLSS3), what percentage comes from the game code + game engine, and what percentage comes from the GPU? If a significant time of each frame generation is spent outside the GPU (i.e. in the game code) then perhaps it is the game engine that should be controlling (primarily contributing to) the foveated rendering process/pathway?

This looks very nice. Nonetheless, I am confused and would like to learn more about three things. 1) How will the headset connect to a PC wirelessly without standalone capabilities? 2) The anchor point idea is cool, but how will this be more modular than other headsets in practice? The face gasket, headstrap, audio, even controllers I believe if you are using steamVR are de facto modular even on intended to be proprietary headsets like the Quest 2. Maybe I'm missing something but it seems like the only major difference here in terms of modularity is intention. 3) Why the need for so much room for active cooling if it is just for PCVR streaming? Also just how much longer does this make the headset? Biggest actual turnoff is that it looks fresnel lens size despite having pancakes.

I am sure pricing is a concern for almost everyone (especially these days). But this head set is clearly high-end so don't expect a Quest price-tag. That said I hope they keep it low enough to be visible on enthusiasts radar. As of now the only true high-end available on the market is the Varjo Aero and that price is just insane and only for the rich.

It looks like a "highend version of the Pimax Crystal"..... Arthur is very sympathetic! I prefer such companies (Somnium Space, Vrgineers, HTC, Pimax) to Meta, ByteDance, Apple, etc.

Can you do an OLED version?

No, OLED screens do not allow this field of view nor image quality yet. Our displays are HDR ready and very vibrant

@@artursychov The StarVR One has a vastly larger FOV with OLED, and the PSVR2 has OLED and a similar FOV to the Somnium. Apple VR is believed to use OLED and have a similar FOV to the Somnium, too.

@@artursychov what about when OLEDs are released that do support that. Will you offer upgrade modules for the headset? Also in generally speaking not only OLED

Is there possibility to do wireless PCVR also?
