The saddest thing is that I have to send it back before the future will be here :S The hardware is here, now we need software for it!
@Definitely Human 8:46 he gave a good enough explanation for why he didn't show any neos footage. At least pay attention to the video before complaining
Hey @Tyriel Wood - VR Tech. Just some info for you. In Australia I just ordered another Reverb G2 and it has all the new revisions! My thoughts below
*FOV-much better with spacer removed
*Tracking-much better (did a beat saber sess and it didn't annoy me once)
*New Cable/usb hub-no longer screws around with my iCUE
Two other notes
*sweet spot is sooooo good (everywhere is clear even if it's off-skew in Ur head)
*also, may be cause new but the ear phones feel nice, tighter, no movement
Wait, this does foviated rendering and the regular G2 V2 doesn't? It also says the headset is 4120x2160. Is this right?
@@adrenlynl7339 What price?
The problem with foveated rendering right now is that most engines still don't really support it natively, so if people add it at all, they usually add Nvidia VRSS since it's pretty much the only one that works and is decently easy to implement right now.
It would be cool if for example steamVR added foveated rendering to their SDK.
I´m actually having a very frustrating time right now trying to bind the controls in different games via Steam VR. In Rift S everything worked like a charm, Reverb controller bindings are a nightmare.
Same here. But the games I’m having trouble with (ARK Park and Narcosis) have janky controls in general, not just G2. Hopefully Valve update their VR bindings software to be more like SteamInput for controllers (which is way more intuitive to use). I’ve tried OpenVR2Keys, which just binds buttons to keyboard keys, but it doesn’t disable game input, so it’s not great :/
This is literally what sold the index to me
That's why i bought the Quest 2 and the G2, sticking to a Quest 2 without using FB accounts is great and to be honest ... better FOV and sweetspot for me + better tracking + better controllers that are not eating batteries like the best candy out there are the things that killed the G2 for me. Still got it for comparison but i can't use it anymore.
I returned my Reverb due to too many controller issues for what I want to play. I got a Quest 2 instead and never had any issues since.
Can you please slow down your cadence? The accent is hard to process and your sentences run into each other. Love the reviews.
Not worth it in my opinion. The "mouth tracker" is just a camera with no proper software written for it. The eye tracking works, but blinking is either open or closed no in between so, it looks awkward. The controllers are terrible you're better off using the older wmr controllers or syncing your play space with index controllers. The displays are not that great on top of that. The lenes fog up super easily. The link box needs extra power for the headset to even function. Hardly works with most laptops too. The face cushion pops off too easily if you remove the spacer. I used this headset about four play sessions before switching back to my Vive pro eye. What a disappointment.
Wow, UA-cam was on point with notifications this time.
Very true!
Face tracking? There's no face tracking for this headset as far as I can see. There's eye tracking and a face camera, but the face camera just outputs a video feed. The fake leather padding also causes the headset to fog up extremely easily. If it didn't have crashing issues, if it was more comfortable, if there was any software support, it could be a decent headset, but it doesn't look like HP cares enough to support this in any consumer sense. I traded mine for a vive pro eye and haven't ran into any issues.
And what about the G2 v 2.0 ?
10:54 Oh no, there's a V1 and V2 Omnicept? I bet they look identical externally :/
Also, it's May 2024 and face tracking isn't supported in any game, even through VRCFT. Only eye tracking is supported.
If you're considering Omnicept, just get the G2 V2 and use fixed foveated rendering.
Thanks for the great video. As you display here, the progress of VR-development is way too slow, sadly. Hopefully 2022 will be better than this year...
When is hp reverb g3 coming?
Any other good vr headset coming soon?
The Lynx r1 standalone headset is shipping in April, I'm not really sure about others
Pimax reality amazing and also varjo aero. I think both of them is really amazing and coming soon.
Ok lets not over sell this the Reverb has the worst tracking Headset to controllers i have ever seen. Constant hand controller disengaging tracking in certain lighting stops working properly. Rift S even though not as crisp optically is perfect compared to this G2 rubbish :))
Cant see the point of the Omnicept. If you want to play games there is no reason to buy it over the standard Reverb.
Sounds silly but I love the mechanisms they use for both the heartbeat tracker and mouth tracking sensors.
Especially the later one as it is magnetic and could easily be used for other accessories as well.
Too bad in the current state of VR, other than simulators VRChat would be the most famous game to make use of these sensors.
Well and Half-Life Alyx if Valve decides to push things to the limit.
You are from.. Difficult to understand your English with that intonation.. And fast speaking. Slang? Speak slowly and clearly. Americaniz8ng like you do. Makes everything sound like you are slurring.
Italy
I would love these VR headsets - i just need to save up!
Can you use the Valve controllers with it?
so is this the headset they are calling the V2 ?
Is the sweet spot still super small? I had to return my G2 for that reason.
What's your ipd ?
E
Wire has got to go.
No.
Yes
Wait... How do you disable the mixed reality portal?? That is interesting indeed. I use the G2 with lighthouse and knuckle controllers, I never use the windows portal but always found it as the necessary evil to get the g2 to run... Is there a way to make it run without it?
Check in the windows 11 settings! It's there!
Thanks both, I guess that might be a good reason to upgrade my gaming PC to Windows 11 then... I waited because of fear on performance loss, but now I suspect I should just go for it!
@@Alex82pd Make sure to create a backup though, I’ve heard some people are having issues. I haven’t upgraded, so I can’t say either way.
@@Tyrielwood 🥳
Problem I have with the reverb is the tracking is sketchy, always does small micro jumps everyone and really kills the immersion
That's what you get when you use inside-out tracking.
I have never had this, wth do you have in your room
3:15 That thing on the forehead looks amazingly uncomfortable... What a stupid design. Enough to make me not interested at all.
Title is confusing when it doesn't even do the new things well.
Original g2 had garbage tracking. Hardware revision is cool but leaves early suckers in the dust. Very hesitant to get any other hp headsets after that. And WMR is just bad. And drawing the boundary is a horrible experience too.
Australia only sells omnicept, not base G2. We're back to nothing consumer but quest selling to us lol.
I love my G2 but I think I'm happy I don't have the new stuff on it. lol I don't have any problems with mine.
AT 10:34 Tyriel, you say there has been a 30% increase in tracking effectiveness, where did you get this information from? I am about to buy a fleet of 85 Reverb G2 and I want to make sure I have the right version. And at 11:04 you say we don't need the Mixed Reality Portal, again where is this information please?
Hey! Go to the windows Settings > Mixed reality > Startup and Desktop > Automatic Startup and select the last one!
For the 30% there was a HP Blog about it, they already started shipping the new version in the US
Nice video. Got one for work doing R&D, looking forward to using sensors to measure peoples excitement, fear, etc!
Your channel is great, I always learn something from you.
Hi Tyrzl thank you for the test :) can you please tell us if the IPD is alway small limited to only 68 like the normal G2 ? about the gasket foam is alwas far from the lens like the g2 ? for the G2 we had no choice except to print an 3d gasker and add like 8mm foam to improov the field of view. without as you know is like we watch in kind of tube :( but this one have the sensor... regardin the foam do you think we can transfert the foam cloth of the G2 to this one ?
Met a guy with this headset and index controllers… i had no idea you could mix and match…
Facial tracking is a big deal if you spend a lot of time in VRchat or NeosVT
And did they solve the tiny sweet spot of the G2 Reverb or is still the same?
Exact same lenses - big nope. Sweetspot is tiny and unstable. FOV is mediocre.
Exact the same panels - another big nope as they smear when turning your head in FS2020 or SimRacing same way as they do in any app/game.
The game gets slightly blurred when you turn and is gets clear again, when you stop moving - even after 1 hour of warm-up time.
We better not talk about WMR and the mediocre overall tracking.
I bought the G2 and i bought a Quest 2 and except for resolution the Quest 2 is more comfy to use.
Without the facial foam fov is pretty big and so is the sweetspot
What zombie game were you playing? Singing the flashlight around the convenience store?
ua-cam.com/video/1sMOWTE9Gpo/v-deo.html :)
Tell me more about that software update that lets me use Steam VR directly without using WMR. Can i have that with the "old" HP Reverb G2 i got? How does it work?
Check the settings in windows 11, it will be there :)
@@Tyrielwood oh well, i am still on Windows 10. As i read, there will be an update for that in the coming months. Thanks
Don't know why HP is not releasing one with LH tracking. They are alienating a huge userbase because of it.
Lol on the other hand all the hmds that requires LH tracking alienate me. I almost got one but read some posts of it making noise when not turned off. Found out that all LH emmit a high frequency pitch, I'm super sensitive to that so unfortunate no go bc it's very painful to me.
@@MaxRamos8 Just cut the power, that's what I do. You don't hear them when you have headphones on.
Hi Tyriel, you mentioned there is a method to bypass running the WMR software and just open SteamVR. I'm an owner of a G2 and can't find any information about this. Any links/hints/info?
Hey! It's in the windows 11 settings, Windows mixed reality, startup and desktop and automatic startup
@@Tyrielwood Thank you for taking the time to reply!
I also found this from a WMR release notes highlight on reddit: "Starting on November 22 2021, Windows 10 version 2004 and newer will enable Infinite Expanse, SteamVR boot with Mixed Reality Portal launch, and new startup experience settings currently available for Windows 11"
What is the game 6:25-6:40???
Dont mind if i yes
So same headset?
Awesome. I need.
Decagear is more for the future. Wireless and face tracking.
DecaGear doesn't exist yet
@@Tyrielwood It would be great if a new headset emerged with both Decar Gear and the HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition features.
Absolutely! For now tho prompts to hp for creating this! The future is bright my friend :)
The original "Reverb G2" is 399€ now (Black Friday).
Is it worth it for someone with a Lenovo Explorer and Oculus Quest 1?
I mean I love just how lightweight the Explorer is and the fact that the Quest is wireless is hard to beat.
@@MegaManNeo I just bought it yesterday, tomorrow will arrive at home. Precisely, i have a Lenovo Explorer too, and everybody told me that the change is going to be awesome and great, that's why i made the decission.
@@zaxxon32 Good luck and lots of fun then 👀
@@MegaManNeo Thanks! 👍
Waiting the G2.1 with fixed tracking :p
They actually delivering a new model now with 30% better tracking area
@@Tyrielwood not in the eu
@@Tyrielwood are you planning a comparison video with the tracking area? It'll be great if you could.
If it wasn't for the tracking I would have bought the og G2, It's just a beautiful headset!
Btw is it just me or the link for the Quest competition isn't working? I get a "competition has already ended"
It seems, he posted the old previous month link here. Hopefully, he fixes it or posts an update in a future video.
Oculus quest 2 is the king
Only cause it's cheap and most people don't care about having proper tacking?
@@Nekotaku_TV quest 2 have great tracking, imo the best for inside out tracking
very disingenuous review man you got the money and you are calling reverb G2 a future. Future made of stuff that already were there?
