Forums - Gaming Discussion - Microsoft partner's Mixed Reality headsets are shamelessly copying PSVR design

 

ASUS has arguably the most distinctive and striking design of any Windows Mixed Reality headset seen so far; Microsoft described it as "a futuristic head-mount device with a unique polygonal 3D cover panel". It added that the ASUS HMD is "fast, powerful, and ultra-light", and will come with a six degrees of freedom (6DoF) tracked motion controller.

 

We saw Lenovo's HMD at CES 2017 back in January, and its design appears unchanged since then. The Lenovo headset includes "built-in sensors to enable inside-out tracking and simplified set-up to let users move around more easily".

Shameless ripoff of

If PSVR never released they would all do the generic Oculus type headband.

MS' headset look like those 3rd party knock-offs you can buy off ebay.

Everyone copies each other



until they run 4k vr is just a gimmick

and proper 4k at 120fps at least, low framerate on vr is even worse than low res



How do you suggest they drastically change wearing a giant camera on your face?

Companies go with what works.



Shameless? Lol. Everyone copies from everyone. When a design works well you stick with it. Don't act like Sony has never copied from MS before.



Eh. That's like saying BMW ripped off Mercedes by making cars with 4 wheels. An efficient design is an efficient design and it should be used by others if it's the best available.

Which is why I hate Apple-type lawsuits which only serve to hurt consumers.



The PSVR has the best, easiest to use and most comfortable headband out of all the VR headsets. Companies are naturally going to copy. I'm sure Sony has taken "inspiration" from other designs themselves.
