June 28th 2019 So its another day and we have
another Vive Cosmos trailer straight from
HTC.
This one shows a lot more than it did last
week so we dont have the spinning anymore.
Now we have people actually using the headset
so lets take a quick deep dive at today's
trailer and see if we have learned anything
new about the vive cosmos.
For the latest in virtual reality news as
well as how to's and reviews subscribe to
my channel and hit the bell to be notified
when I post a new video every tuesday.
So today we are going over the ergonomics
and the design.
So here we can see right off the bat that
there is no cable here now at the bottom of
the screen it does say that the cable is not
shown and it does require a pc connection
or the vive wireless adapter which on our
last video we've already had that confirmed.
But the fact that it says requires pc cable
connection is already starting to make me
think that no this is not going to be a competitor
for the oculus quest.
So that's kind of a downer already unfortunately.
What we can also see here is that the cosmos
does have pretty much the exact same headphone
setup as the original vive das depending on
how you actually felt about those in the past
im not sure this is something to get excited
about.
Mine never clicked in properly so im not sure
how excited I am about that.
So this is the lightest vive to date at 651
grams the playstation vr inspired halo design
allows for balanced weight distribution so
if you've already used a playstation vr or
rift s you kind of already know how the weight
distribution is going to work on here it doesnt
sound like its going to be anything revolutionary
but if you've used these headsets before I
think it's safe to say that its going to be
pretty comfortable on your head and there
is even a little dial on the back to tighten
again like playstation vr like rift s.
The hinged and stable flip design looks like
its actually very easy to use and going to
be very very handy.
You can answer your phone, you have have a
drink you can eat some pizza you can do really
whatever you need to do without having to
remove the headset.
And its fits comfortably with your glasses.
So if you are glasses wearer then this is
going to be very useful.
When having people play on my quest or my
rift s it is kind of a hassle to have to put
that little adapter on there so its nice that
this is already working with the headset.
The top strap adds stability.
Synthetic leather for easy cleaning so it
doesnt actually say what the leather is but
im thinking thats actually on the cover itself
which should be really really comfortable
and a lot better than that old foam that came
on the original vive.
Light pressure on face and low light leakage.
I'd be very interested to see what they mean
by low light leakage because on a lot of headsets
unfortunately there is a lot of light leakage
and you pretty much have to do it in the dark.
But with today's headsets with the inside
out tracking its kind of impossible to do
it in the dark so it'll be nice to see what
they mean by low light leakage.
Because i've heard this before and sometimes
I get light and it just takes you completely
out of the experience.
And that is it.
So lets thank HTC once again for a deluge
of information.
Ok seriously this trickle thing is really
getting old.
I mean I am still excited about the Cosmos
do not get me wrong I am and I think you should
be too.
Because to me anyway it does seem like it
is going to offer some really nice evolutions
but a couple bits of information every couple
of days is kinda just not really doing it
as far as getting people hyped I mean I am
looking here at my comments I see some people
here that are getting hyped for it but not
very many.
What I think HTC needs to do is I think they
really need to address the real problems that
people have with the company itself.
I mean seriously when people are talking about
the HTC Vive in forums or on Reddit the number
one thing I see that people complain about
is their lack of customer support.
They need to talk about how they are going
to be there for you when this thing breaks
and that they arent going to be like oh you
have had it for two weeks guess what you get
to buy another one for two hundred bucks.
Now obviously I am exaggerating a little bit
but I think you get the idea especially for
you Vive owners that actually had to RMA some
of your Vive equipment back to HTC.
You know what I'm talking about.
Another thing I think HTC needs to do is I
really think they need to just jump on it
man.
This is how much it's going to be, this is
what it does and this is when you can have
it.
It's a little old school but you know what
its just crazy enough to work.
I mean today is the day the Valve Index is
finally in our hands.
Well not my hands probably your hands let
me know in the comments if you have it.
Anyway and the best HTC can do is just this
little what?
40 second video of things we really already
know.
We already know these things.
If you noticed in the video I am just kinda
saying the things I see on my screen.
It's because its not really interesting look
its got a halo design, we knew this.
Look its got headphones we knew this its got
the flip up design we knew this.
We need something new we need something tangible
we need something now.
Ok Rant over.
But what do you guys think?
Let me know in the comments and go ahead and
like this video it doesnt take but a second
to do and it seriously helps out the channel
so go ahead and like this video and if you
havent already go ahead and subscribe for
more videos just like this as well as news
reviews and how to's.
Till next time guys my name is VR Ninjoe have
an awesome day.
And if you have a Valve Index today have a
seriously awesome day.
I am so jealous.
Bye for now.
