Very bad news. HP is leaving the VR production market, and considering the G2 Reverb's best-on-the-market compromise between affordable price and superb image quality, the middle ground of the market's offerings is being left empty.

The video author says it has somethign to do with the dependency on Microsoft and Valve, since this headset bases on Mixed Reality and SteamVR. Oculus is better set up in this regard, having its own VR standard oculusVR. And Microsoft struggles to get its acts together in WMR affairs, while Valve wants to sell its - much more expensive and by now nevertheless technically outdated - set.

If you considered this one model, now is the time to act.

Damn, I hoped for a third version in one or two years. With external trackers, however, so that I could play Eleven Table Tennis and First Person Tennis again.
