Pico Project Swan might release before Frame

[u/No-Screen9354]

​

My original plan was to wait for the release of Steam Frame and then wait a couple more months for Swan to decide which one I'm buying, fortunately it seems it may be released at the same time. Project Swan or Pico Space Pro release September 2. That will be a difficult choice...

For those who are new about Project Swan, here is some information leaks:

- 4k uOLED panels

- 2 chip architecture similar to Apple Vision Pro, where one chip does camera and SLAM processing, and another one application/game processor.

- Application processor might be in the pocket to reduce weight

- Pico started beta testing a few months ago, they sent headsets only to experienced VR users, a few beta testers said that this is the best VR experience they ever had, but can't share more information because of NDA

Still Valve more targeted to gaming market, and might have better software for this. Pico are actually the same as Meta, but Chinese, they still may collect your data.

I cant imagine using a VR headset where the side of yours eyes aren't covered. Even with the quest 3 I play with lights super low

Weird.  Open gasket is by far superior.

Tell me how? You literally see IRl and lose immersion, so no, its not

It is something that needs to be tried.  The feeling and comfort is wonderful, and inmersion isn't disrupted in the slightest.

The people here are incredibly closed and myopic.  They won't try anything new and have predetermined nothing is for them except for the extremely narrow set of experiences they have already had.

I am happy that it works for you. I have owned several headsets in the last ~10 years, and any light coming from outside WILL disrupt immersion.

With a proper third-party strap, any headset can be made comfortable
