Product Information

HP Omnicept SDK required for integration of HP VR Spatial Audio. Unity and Unreal Engine plug-in are required, plug-ins provided. Equipped with industry-leading lenses and speakers designed by Valve, our HMD provides high quality resolution and fully immersive spatial audio. With mura-free, 2160 x 2160 LCD panels per eye, you can now see more detail than ever before. The Reverb G2's 2021 refresh coincides nicely with some advancements Microsoft has made to WMR in Windows 11. There's a new virtual environment that's much more streamlined than the sprawling Cliff House, plus you can now skip entirely the WMR portal and jump straight into SteamVR. For many people, that's a welcome change that saves time and annoyance. HP’s MSRP is subject to discount. HP’s MSRP price is shown as either a stand-alone price or as a strike-through price with a discounted or promotional price also listed. Discounted or promotional pricing is indicated by the presence of an additional higher MSRP strike-through price

CRYSTAL CLEAR picture with zero screen-door effect. If your computer can handle it, upscaling can make the image even more incredible. What’s even better, though, is that the HP Reverb G2 (and Windows Mixed Reality headsets in general) is compatible with Steam VR. This gives you access to a library of hundreds of fantastic VR games, such as Half Life: Alyx and Star Wars: Squadrons, two of the best VR games we’ve played recently. The Reverb G2 still has a foot firmly placed in the professional world, which translates in my case to use as a virtual monitor. Years ago, there were plenty of "I worked a day inside my VR headset" impressions, and I, too, gave the older headsets a try to see how long I could go. Result? Not long. The HP Reverb G2 belongs to the Windows Mixed Reality (WMR) family, a platform created by Microsoft with a vision of holographic computing that includes the HoloLens and HoloLens 2. The platform also includes the Mixed Reality Portal, Microsoft's software that acts as a basecamp for anyone who dons a WMR headset.A 90Hz refresh rate and manual IPD adjustment should help nausea-prone users find a more comfortable fit.

The controllers are missing touchpads and any sort of next-gen feature to make up for them... I'm personally using my Odyssey controllers to ensure I can play most titles on SteamVR hassle-free. They paired right out of the box to the Reverb :) Pulling out the extra gasket and replacing the foam gasket drops the eye relief down to 9mm. With the closer eye relief you might find that some prescription frames are too large to fit inside. The last thing you want to do is scratch any of the lenses, so take care. I was able to continue using one set of prescription frames, while the others were too much of a risk. The new face gasket go-between does fit on the older G2-V1, but all it does is add eye relief up to about 21mm.Meet HP Anyware Secure your digital workspaces from virtually anywhere. Keep people and teams productive by streaming interactive desktop displays to secure data to digital hybrid workspaces. Powered by two Emmy® award–winning remote desktop solutions combined into one. With the headset established as offering drool-worthy visuals and audio able to keep up, it's the controllers that will ultimately cement a VR system as great or not so great. Unfortunately for the Reverb G2, even with a significant overhaul to the WMR controllers, they're still not great. Windows Mixed Reality offers a decent amount of apps and games that you can install though the VR interface, including some real gems. The actual interface, which takes the form of a large home you can walk around, looks fantastic on the HP Reverb G2 – if this is your first taste of VR, you’re going to be very impressed. The Reverb G2-V1 had a horizontal FOV between 80 and 90 degrees, with vertical FOV coming in around 5 degrees lower depending on how your face fits into the HMD. With the new intermediate gasket removed and eye relief dropped down to 9mm, you can expect the FOV to climb anywhere from 10 to 15 degrees horizontally and about 5 to 10 degrees vertically.

Based on HP's internal analysis of companies that have shipped greater than 50,000 VR tethered headsets. Resolution based on panel pixel count as of May 2020. According to a MASiE 2017 Report (January 2017, by Bobby Carlton): in a study carried out by the National Training Laboratory. The boosted resolution of the HP Reverb G2 means it will require some modern PC hardware, but there are two modes — full resolution and half resolution — you can run for the best results. No matter what, for a processor (CPU) HP recommends at least a modern Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5. That's a Xeon E3-1240 v5 or better for those on the workstation side. To complement, at least 8GB of RAM is recommended.The cable's ends are natively DisplayPort 1.3 and USB-C 3.0. Fret not if your PC doesn't include these ports. In the box with the G2 comes a USB-C to USB-A adapter and a DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort adapter. The hardware and overall build quality are high-end, but what's the Reverb G2 like when the displays light up?
