I've been keeping an eye out, looking around - but it seems that this has basically just turned into radio silence from HTC.

Is there something I've missed here, or has HTC quietly walked back their previous comments about releasing an eye tracking module for the VP2?

For some reason there was a flurry of news, then it all seems to have dried up - with nobody really even talking about it anymore very much. Anyone have any idea what's up?

Thanks!

The 2.0 wands are so expensive in comparison, and I struggle to understand why exactly this is the case. Is this just a case of HTC milking the price? I’d love to have a set as a backup for my index controls but not for the absurd money the want for an arguably inferior controller in many use cases.

I guess I was just curious if anyone could shed any light here, given it would be cheaper for me to just get a second set of 1.0 lighthouses. Is there even anything worthwhile about the 2.0 ones aside from modern lighthouse compatibility and a better USB port?

Hey all,

So I've looked around, found older posts and older videos showing and testing out different microphones as an alternative to the Vive's built in one.

I wanted to reach out though and get some up to date ideas on suggested Microphones that are good quality which you'd recommend as a replacement for using the integrated Vive Pro 2 Microphone?

I've bought a few different lavalier microphones including a usb-c one, and while admittedly cheaper ones than some microphones, they have all been worse than the integrated Vive microphone. I've seen some people use the modmic wireless, but then others say that it doesn't capture low frequencies quite as nicely, and you lose that timbre to

Edit: this is regarding the vive pro 2 and automatic resolution settings.

I was looking in this thread for turning off variable automatic brightness, which I did and this does work.

In this thread it refers to the following default.vrsettings file where I also disabled the IPD Overlay successfully. This was to let me adjust IPD but see the changes ingame without that overlay coming up.

For me it's located here (you'll want to open default.vrsettings in notepad or suitable text editor)

C:\Program Files (x86)\VIVE\

New firmware update for the headset and vive console beta version just dropped for me, no release notes on the vive software page yet though? Anyone got any more details on what it's supposed to do?

​

Version is 2.0.17.3 (version _was_ 2.0.17.0)

​

Changelog that was linked goes to here but doesn't have the new version updates:

VIVE Software – Release Notes on beta last version - Developer Resources

​

And there's no updates regarding the new VP2 firmware either. /shrug

Another update which is cool, looks like it fixes the hidden area mesh issues raised by some people in here prior as well as some other things for the G2.

Keen to try it out tonight.

Can you imagine the smile on my face? We even camped right on the beach, and hit up Cooloola way to get there. Left via the inland sand trails. One of which 20km took us two hours. Intense fun. Absolutely loved it. Can't recommend it enough to anyone interested.

edit: Wow, I forgot to embed the image. Whoops! I'll add a few photos in now then.
