The Verge reports similarly - can't tell foveated streaming. Seems like Valve really cracked the code with this one.
I don't think a lot of people realize how big of a deal this is. You used to have to choose between wireless and slow or wired and fast. Now you can have both wireless and fast. It's insane.
Yep, that basically guarantees this as a purchase for me. It's basically a Quest 3 with some improvements, an open non-Meta OS, and the various WiFi and Streaming app issues fixed to make it nearly as good as a wired headset.
I haven't bought a VR headset since the Oculus Rift CV1, but this might do it for me
If you are lucky enough to have wired as an option anyway, especially in linux this has been shaky. But with Steam continuing to push into linux and VR I have no doubt this will change quickly.
Thats not what he said. What he said was even rapidly moving his eyes around he could not spot the lower resolution part.
If you are going to be pedantic then at least do it right. Because that's also not what he said. He said that no matter how fast he moved his eyes he wasn't able to catch it.
How is that meaningfully different than not being able to tell that it's foveated?
