I realy wish these VR companies would just wait until headsets are ready for production and orders before making these announcements. They drag this stuff out - think Pimax Crystal that was announced same time as Varjo Aero. Got my Aero in Jan, Crystal is yet to hit the streets.

I mean seriously they want to talk all about this stuff and do not even know a price yet.

I saw the video on the quick side, they talk about what PCVR connection will have? They say wireless and wired, the wired one loseless but doesnt tell what type

If they are not saying I would say likely USB.

Not sure when they updated their website page? But this has been added....

"“Due to supply chain constraints and more complex than expected negotiations with key suppliers, Somnium Space has decided to focus its efforts fully on a PCVR headset for its first release and postpone release of a standalone version. Somnium continues R&D for a standalone version of VR1 headset and will bring more information after official release of PCVR version in 2023” Artur Sychov adds.

Was hoping that this would be the headset that I would buy but the very initial reviews are disappointing and in particular the price is far higher than I expected, even for the base model.  Seem to be drifting with some reticence towards the Crystal.  One thing that would help is to know where the UK Pimax Crystal units are shipped from and where the return would be to if I had a bad unit! Seems to be some talk re Amazon, does anyone know the current situation

1900 € (excl. tax?) for the base model without a headstrap… 

So I‘m approaching 3000 € if I need eyetracking and want to be able to wear it? Uhhh..😕
I was hoping for <2.000 € incl. tax for a model with eye tracking (and headstrap!!).

Edit: Oh and no inside out tracking so 1-2 tracking base stations (approx. 150 € each) needed.

I had the hopes that I could retire my Crystal with the VR1, given how unsatisfied I am with everything it has except the very good, clear ( but definitely not edge-to-edge ) sweetspot. Oh well. Guess I'm gonna be stuck with it for a while longer.

When I saw a video last week, I was discouraged with the progress.  I thought they would be further along than they are.  I am no expert, but I would be shocked if anything is shipped from production before the middle of next year.  Unless there is a HMD coming that I don't know about, I will continue being happy with the Aero for the next several months.
