HP Reverb G2 VS Reverb G2 V2

This new headset makes an already good headset even better. Improvements include (vertical) tracking, compatibility with the headset-kabel and various (AMD-) motherboards, and better oogafstand-customization.

• The tracking improvement is a result of hardware changes to the physical camera module on the new Reverb G2 units. These changes are not backwards compatible and are only available with the purchase of the new refreshed unit.
• Software changes are compatible with all Reverb G2 headsets and customers can learn more about the updates.
• If customers have an issue with their cable or a problem with a AMD-gebaseerd system, they can request a replacement cable for headsets under warranty through the HP customer service channel in their country. Every new cable that is sent is the V2-kabel.

When it comes to controller tracking, as a user, you only want the best of the best. If there is anything annoying in VR, it is losing controller tracking. This new upgrade significantly increases the tracking capabilities of the headset, with the vertical tracking volume being 30% larger than our original headset, and blind spots above and below the waist are resolved.

In addition to better tracking, our compatibility with more systems has also been expanded. In collaboration with AMD, a solution has been developed that has resolved connection issues some users experienced. This new improved cable is not only limited to new purchases but can also be bought online for original HP Reverb G2 consumers.

The latest update includes an entirely new facemask design that allows users to adjust their eye distance to ensure they can better reach their visual "sweet spot." This new facemask now includes a removable spacer that allows users to set their eye distance to 15mm (with the spacer on and as confirmed on the original headset) or 9mm (with the spacer off). This extensive range allows users to experience the incredible visuals that the Reverb G2 has to offer.

• Improved Controller Tracking: Get enhanced tracking below the waist with 30% more vertical area coverage (increased vertical tracking coverage will also be included on the HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition).
• Cable: Updated 6M cable for improved compatibility with AMD systems, resolving connection issues.
• Face Gasket: New design allows for eye distance adjustment to 9mm or 15mm, enabling users to better set their visual sweet spot.

In addition to the improvements to the Reverb G2, Microsoft has been working hard to enhance the Windows Mixed Reality experience. Some of the new features and settings made available with the release of Windows 11 include:

The new virtual home environment for Windows Mixed Reality-apparaten has become significantly smaller and more streamlined, reduced to a single stage instead of the more feature-rich Cliffhouse.

Infinite Expanse is built with performance in mind and is designed to meet the long-standing demand from customers for a less resource-intensieve virtual home environment, allowing customers to get the best performance out of their games and experiences.

The new virtual home environment can be found in the Pins-paneel in the Places menu.

New setting available to automatically start SteamVR when Mixed Reality Portal launches, allowing you to bypass the Windows Mixed Reality virtual home environment and jump straight into SteamVR.

This new setting can be found in the Instellingen-app under Mixed Reality > Startup and Desktop > Auto-start.

New settings available to better configure your ideal startup experience by increasing your level of control over when Mixed Reality Portal launches.

You can now determine whether Mixed Reality Portal starts when a device is connected or when the presence sensor is activated, and also decide how the virtual bureaublad-app is opened.
