Im pretty sure the new Microsoft mixed reality headset will be compatible with the xbox One X next year.
They released inside out tracking headset and at the same time removed the kinect connector for the Xbox One X (so no "ps4 like" solution with outside sensor tracking). |
I hope inside out tracking can prove itself in fast paced games. The limitations of the controllers having to remain in view and the slight hiccups in head tracking that have been reported so far need to be ironed out a bit. Basically it has the same problem as move, controllers need to stay in view of the camera, except now the camera is on your head. It's better suited for roomscale, yet when sitting it has the same problems apart from obscuring the headset with the move light.
And yeah since MS doesn't make the headsets themselves, how far are they going to go to support it with games. Or maybe that's a benefit and they'll try to get OR / Steam VR running on XBox One X instead. I guess MS will first want to wait to see what happens with XBox One X sales after the holiday period. They'll be releasing VR for a niche of a niche,and while the headsets are on par in pricing with PSVR+camera, the X is a lot pricier than a standard ps4 or a pro.
Hopefully MS doesn't leave me hanging too long on their promises of high fidelity VR. Bring it on!
