SG2 is now old tech, plenty better available nowadays.
MSo I recalibrated my rhino to work better for the stick throw limiter I made, then the forces were off, so I clicked the reset button, but it factory reset it. I can’t figure it out now. Does anyone have a way to upload the settings just like it came out of the box? Thanks
MI have dug a deep hole and just need a factory preset if that’s possible
WThere's a file RHINO-defaults in the configurator
configs directory
AYou have to click store to have device remember your settings too
FLook for vr flight sim guy on yt, he has a few breakdowns on those 2 plus the pimax. Keep in mind the price decrease was recent so older vids will be taking the old price into account.
JWell the Varjo Aero just dropped in price to under $1k USD, and one website sells it for even less than that at like $890 USD https://twitter.com/SadlyItsBradley/status/1710414637135503417
As for BSB... it'll be some months before yours would ship out even if you ordered today.

Most Bigscreen Beyond US preorders originally slated to ship in Q3 have slipped into Q4 as the startup experiences production delays.
AI think the BSB is kind of a bit like the Rhino in the regard that you might need something to keep you going until yours arrives
JAnother thing to consider is the software powering the device. Varjo software is, simply put, incredible. Top of the line high end software that would be far superior to anything BSB offers.
JThere's also a ton of pre-established tweaks and fixes and setting adjustment by the community to get as much performance as possible out of the Aero for flight sim
BAnd honestly don't really see it as that much of a competition for the varjo in general.
JThey are similar in 2 ways
1) they are similarly priced
2) they don't have built in audio solutions

Joh I guess 3, since both rely on Lighthouse 2.0 tracking
Aam I wrong in thinking that one of the strengths of the BSB is that you can easily use whatever headphones you'd normally use?
JNo, but you can do the same thing with the Aero
JThe primary appeal of the BSB is the small and light form factor
BBsb is premium video viewer at best, where the varjo with eyetracking etc is actually meant for simulation.
Adoesn't it have more involved straps that might make using headphones harder?
JHaving used an Aero I didn't have any issue with my headphones
Jused 2-3 different pairs with different types of headstraps/cup shapes
BI can even fit my regular corsair cans over my quest pro.
JAnd yeah the foveated rendering on the Aero is the bread and butter of performance
JAnd how they make the most out of the high res very clear lenses
JAnother thing to consider is PC hardware. Are you on at least a 3080 with a decent CPU? Also you need to be using Nvidia GPU for the Aero, not sure about BSB.
Aanyway I wouldn't buy BSB for myself, but I think it's fantastic that someone is already making a VR headset with such a small form factor
BIts even higher res, without the option for dfr, 4090 or dont bother.
FWait, you mean static or eye tracked
JThe amount of variety in headset shape, design philosophy, and features available on the market right now is great for the industry as a whole.
FAlso i am not 100% sure but i remember the aero had more ppd in the center than the edges, correct?
AI think you might be referring to the pro version
Ait has two separate screens, one for the center
AI don't think the aero does anything like that
FI think i remember 35ppd in center and like 20 on edge
FBut that might be lens warping
FPlus that was something from a while ago
Aat least with pimax the lens warping actually compresses the center, which is not ideal
AI don't know how it's on aero
BUntil good pancakes came, optical claeiry around the edges would be closer to 5 than anything.
FThe crystal? Havent heard anything like that
FI heard it had great edge to edge clarity, better than pico 4
JIt has eye tracking, and its built in software renders stuff based on where you look. The eye tracking cameras run at 200hz. So the image will always be clearest where you look. You can adjust how clear by changing the PPD in the software, which obv needs more GPU the higher you go
The Aero has a smaller 'sweet spot' than other headsets like the Index, but it also has a lower FOV which contributes to this smaller sweet spot.
The image might seem 'blurry' on the edges because that is partially how foveated rendering based on eye tracking looks. Directly where your eyes are pointing will look clearest. Peripheral will start to look a bit blurry.
Here is an example of what foveated rendering looks like, on the PSVR2 in No Man's Sky, one of the only PSVR2 games to support it currently: https://twitter.com/PSVRUnderground/status/1698745249756053538

AI'm using the 8kx
JI should also mention there is a distinct difference between a game that has DFR and a headset software using it
Athe very wide fow is problematic in many ways, one of which is the way you need to warp the picture
FI know how it looks like, but is the edge clarity fine if you look at the edges in the headset or is lens warping an issue?
JThe lenses aren't large enough for it to have warping
FI see. I am keeping an eye out for crystal/12k stuff for when i have the money so assumed you were talking about that.
JAlso, adjusting the PPD changes how close or far the lenses are from your eyes'
BPico 4 is quite disappointing, the lenses on the pro for instance is massively better.
