If you didn&apost rush out to buy a VR headset to play Half-Life: Alyx, your patience might be rewarded. HP is teasing a Reverb G2 headset developed in tandem with Microsoft and Valve that should be “more immersive, comfortable and compatible” than previous-generation hardware. The company is unsurprisingly shy on details, although the brief glimpse hints at a few design changes.
The first Reverb wasn&apost a revolution in design, but it did stand out with a sharp 2,160 x 2,160 pixels per eye. It won&apost be surprising if HP pursues bragging rights once again, especially when its Twitter teaser claims the new Reverb is the “next benchmark” in VR gear. We wouldn&apost count on Valve dramatically influencing the design given that the Index remains its pride and joy, though. The new Reverb may be more gamer-friendly, but this is still likely to be aimed as much at professionals as it is enthusiasts.
Developers, architects, and #VR users – this one&aposs for you.
Get a sneak peek of the next benchmark in virtual reality headsets from @HP x @ValveSoftware x @Microsoft. https://t.co/m3hUAL6sK1 pic.twitter.com/IsqL2aOVsl
