If I were Sony I wouldn't release two big ticket items in the same year anyway. PS5 in 2020, VR2 in '21 or 2, possibly a 5 Pro in '23 or 4.

Interesting, but I'd like to hear more about what else it'll be doing, as well as price.

Still, this should be more about the headset itself, rather than another PSVR thread. (We seem to do this every time we mention a new GPU/CPU on here) 

Well, it seems to be a normal Vive pro with some little improvements here and there. I imagine they can maximize the pros clarity by enabling ludicrous amounts of super sampling in the fovea spot (like 300%+), but other than that it's a pretty known quality by now.

The normal pro costs $800 (headset only), hopefully this one comes in below $1500.

Hm, good idea, but a bit pricy to realize. Maybe Sony will release PSVR2 as a wired headset, but with the connector cable being able to be popped out at the HMD (would good to make that one replaceable anyway). And then 1-2y later they could release a (pretty pricy) wireless upgrade box that connects there and has the necessary processing power + batteries as well as the antenna. That would mean the PS5 would still need to reserve the processing overhead to do all those calculations itself for the wired users, but I still think that is a good way to offer wireless for the enthusiasts while keeping price in check for the base unit.

I wonder at this point if VR wouldn't work better in a helmet. You'd have more space to put components and you could space them out more. It would probably be more comfortable due to better weight distribution as well.

I don't think a helmet sounds appealing. This would have additional weight, additional costs for materials and also increase the temperature inside the helmet. 

The design as it is now is already good.

You would have better weight distribution though, and there are ways to ventilate such a device.

It looks like Pimax's promised eyetracking module (in the Kickstarter campaign - backers will receive it for free) is "rdy" aswell. That one is just going to be clipped into the soon releasing Pimax 5k+, 8k and 5k Business Edition headsets. Sebastian of MRTV could try it in a short mini-game in this vid (horrible german accent warning), but it's unclear whether or not the module  supports foveated rendering (which was promised during the campaign). The company behind that module is 7invensun, which I've never heard of.

I actually never understood the issue with the weight, though. I got the Vive and Vive Pro at home. None of them feels like the HMD is placing weight on the front of the head or dragging you down. The mount on the Pro is far superior of course, but I never understood that complain. I actually don't  really feel any additional weight on my head.

I can only say to not use the Vive without the deluxe strap, because the HMD doesn't sit as good on your head than with it.

So far, a helmet would be more bulky imo.

Bingo! Imo I think it would be a mistake. Hype it up and launch it holiday 2020. 

Good news for future on VR, but those are some ugly kupos.

On the wireless. I guess we can have something like a breakout box and processor that you plug to the power outlet so you don't need to hook to the computer or console. So you don't need a cable crossing the room. But full Wireless I'm not really looking at the moment. Even my surround system is cable based for cheaper, more reliable.
