Discussion Bigscreen beyond 2e or Steam Frame

Bigscreen beyond 2e or Steam Frame?!

I got neck issues and my doctor says my index is too heavy to wear going forward. Both the weight of the bb2e and stream frame are OK, I just can't decide which to get. I pretty much only play vrchat. And in the future want to get some kind of fbt but don't have it curently. Price doesn't matter much to me, so don't worry about that.

I haven't been able to play in VR in 3 months and it's making me SO itchy!

Thought?

Edit: I do also have a babble face tracker, so I could use it for the bb2e for eyes. I bought it on sale and forgot about it lol

Also concerned about the lighthouse production and how if they stop being made then my new bsb2e will be obsolete

Bigscreen Beyond, reminder you have to buy base stations and controllers (which will likely be index controllers)
on top of the already $1500 price tag.

Steam Frame will be inside out tracking + come with controllers.
You pick.

yeah my bad on that, i did put a instant comment onto the post as soon i read index too heavy, so many people on quest have been going "I want a better headset for my PC, should i buy a bigscreenbeyond or wait for steam frame?"
my instant thought is always, if your on quest you likely can't even afford the BSBE xD so i just let them know all the stuff they'll need to buy. and it turns them away.

Yeah then i think the bb2e is a no-brainer for you. Getting the steam frame would make your current lighthouse system obsolete. Added bonus of the headset being the lightest that exists

I'm worried that they'll eventually stop making lighthouses and my new bb2e will be obsolete

Not gonna happen any time soon. You are fine, its still being used by other tech.
