HP teases ‘next gen’ VR headset made with Microsoft and Valve’s help

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.
