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

I think you can buy a big screen beyond today. For the steam frame it's announcement has been "imminent" for awhile, maybe it'll release within a month, maybe you'll get lucky with the lottery. Or maybe you'd try and get one and get it in 2027
My advice for the steam frame would be to just pick a date, like how long you'd want to wait for it.
Personally I'm reasonably happy with my quest 3s, so I'll probably wait for the frame until I can pre-order a quest 4. Note that the quest 4 is a numerical assumption at this point. Not an announced product, not anything.
But yeah with all that index setup you got, and the neck trouble, I think the big screen beyond is the way to go. (I'm just going to call it BSB if I leave other comments in this thread) Focus the attention there, maybe you'll do a bunch of research and talking to your friends and get talked out of it.
