I wish it had a wider fov
This felt like HTC was holding the camera in one hand and a gun in the another
I don’t know about this review
It feels shady
Are the controllers supported by the VR games on steam?
The controllers are just a redesighned quest crontoller
you don’t know what you’re talking about..
Notice how he has to hold on to the back of the headset while the visor is flipped up.
What’s the field of view? Same as before?
Standalone? Be careful with your words
Cosmos stole everything from rift s
i asked my parents to buy me one and they said that i had to pay half so i paid 400 cad. but today i heard them say that its pointless to buy something thats so expensive so im probably no getting it
im so depressed right now 🙁
Why hate on the old tech that was the foundation of this new technology? You keep tossing the old head piece as of it’s trash. Instead, it should be in a showcase.
Dude those this guy know what stand-alone is?? A stand-alone headset doesn’t require you to have a PC… oculus quest is one of them. These guys literally reviewed the quest before and still don’t know what stand-alone is. Disappointed
You can get an old Lenovo Explorer with like the same specs.… and for $200 lol
is this better for immersion quality and better tracking?
Hi, Where do you buy black headset support see on vidéo at 2:46 time?
soooo they copied the Oculus hand controllers. cool.
Aaaand used stuff that the vive pro used like the dual pass-through cameras. cool.
Aaaaand they give you a some time if you pre-ordered, to play in their “not only do you have to pay for the games, but pay to access the viveport” propietary game server, that is exclusive to htc and not cross-platform so friends with Oculus or Index can’t play with you, limiting your experience. cool.
Soooo they copied Windows Mixed Reality headsets with the flip-up visor, cool.
So you have to buy a swap-out module to replace the inside-out tracking, and use lighthouses if you want to use full body… plus the 100$ea vive body trackers… cool…
So basically this is Vive Mixed Reality with half the refresh rate as the index, LCD instead of OLED (a downgrade) and the controllers of an Oculus? Pretty much?
You can’t even use those controllers with the external tracking module, you have to go back to the “mammoth vive controllers“
if you want to use full body…
This seems like a bit of a side step.
what a one sided ‘hands on’ review. didn’t mention any of the issues with the Cosmos!! looks like a PAID review.
just a few of the ISSUES: 1. Battery doesn’t last that long. 2. Flip down isn’t that firm against your face. 3. controllers don’t work well when close together (like holding a gun). 4. you loose hand tracking if your arm is too far back.
Get a oculus quest this thing is junk .
this feels like he was paid to say these things
Wait.….…. Looking like a modern public art sculpture is a GOOD thing?
This is an ad, not a review.
THIS THING WONT PLAY TRACK CONTROLLERS FOR FUCKIN PAVLOV. SERIOUSLY WTF.
the cosmos is terrible wym
Paid overview?
Ha, how much did they pay this guy?… Reviews have been terrible for this thing.
Just watch Virtual Reality Oasis review on the cosmos. Easily can show you why this headset is a yikes and will decide to not buy
try first impression in dark room where normal people plays. cosmos is demo glasses that works on studios
why not rechargeable battery packs? regular batteries aren’t a revolution smh
Htc vive or htc vive cosmos.
Wich one is better?
true VR headset should be wireless
Its awful..the tracking is really bad. And $699? HUGE RIP OFF!
cool stupef
This headset is crap, stops often with low light problems.
The old vive has a refresh rate of 90 Hz as well, and the controllers copied DIRECTLY off of the oculus. Also, you keep talking about how it’s a “Standalone headset” which it’s not because it absolutely requires a PC
I BOUGHT IT THINKING I DIDN’T NEED A PC
Now I gotta return it
You should download some fitness games on you “stand alone” headset
The garbage tracking was never mentioned, and all this stuff, Oculus does better, AA batteries should have been on the original Vive anyway.
I like them analog stick console like controllers than the original vive.
how is it Standalone. standalone means no pc needed but it does need a computer to run.
This is the worst review I’ve ever seen and clearly knows nothing about Vr
ANYONE WATCHING (SINGLE MOMS OR FAMILIES)
IT IS NOTTTTT STANDALONE IN THE SENSE OF IT NEEDS A POWERFUL COMPUTER TO RUN IT. SO WITHOUT A COMPUTER (GAMING SPEC) YOUR OUT OF LUCK.
THIS PRATT IS TELLING PEOPLE ITS STANDALONE AND NEEDS TO LEARN RESPONSIBILITY HE HAS WHEN REVIEWING THINGS.
100% paid review. cnet, please get scott to do vr, not this dude
Buying mine used let some one with more money
