A new series giving you my thoughts and opinions on the super high-end Somnium VR1 PC VR headset, from a flight simulation perspective using my home setup.

Please note: I haven't had the VR1 very long and my time has been limited, so this video is an informal discussion on my thoughts and opinions so far. As I'm sure you can appreciate, things can feel very different testing the headset in my own environment vs a time limited demonstration.
Also... The VR1 featured in this video it NOT final. In fact, it's quite old now (things are moving very fast) so this won't be a review. Not yet anyway... Think of it as a new series, a journey even, as I learn more about it.

Thanks for the video Steve! Just for the information - we did not want to wait for the next batch of VR1s being finalized today, so we sent Steve an interim headset with some improvements but some things not final. We do expect to swap with another headset fairly soon. I am glad you are enjoying it and thank you very much for your feedback! Cheers! ♥

@sirgriffinman 4 месяца назад

If we want to claw back performance could we limit vertical fov separately from horizontal fov? This might be something very cool to have in the software.

Just reading through the comments Steve, you're going to be busy for a while! Great job from Artur and the Somnium Space team, and being a receptive as they as are just means so much to the flight simulation community. The headset looks good for racing sims as well. Hopefully the weight will be well balanced and not feel heavy in use. I'm sure for simmers the cheaper versions will still prove to be more than up to the job of delivering a first class VR simulation experience.

as a simmer, flight and racing, currently on a valve index. i was on the fence to get a quest but didnt really need all the connection woes, the standalone, the battery problems. i know you could get 3 quest 3's for the price of a kitted out somnium VR1 but do you think the value is there for a diehard simmer? i'm on a 4090, i have all the peripherals to fly in VR as i do now. the price is the only thing that's kinda holding me back, as it stands with the info i have and i might not have seen everything VR1 there is to see, i'd pull the trigger right now if the base price was 300 euros cheaper.

@sirgriffinman 4 месяца назад

What I want to see: Passthrough is big on my mind. Passthrough software setup and passthrough clarity. I plan to use this for both flight and sim racing. So it would be good to know if this works with any software well without any issues. Speakers: I noticed you don't have a headset on. How are the built in speakers? Microphone: There were a lot of pops in this recording. I'm assuming that is being worked on or maybe it was your recording settings... Comfort: We knew it was going to be heavy. How does it feel on the face, around the nose, after about an hour or two? Is the strap supportive enough. Does the HMD feel like it wants to fall down? I know we have a lot of options to make custom head straps. Hand tracking: Being a flight simmer, but mostly a sim racer. Being able to control the PC with hand tracking would be amazing. I've done this some with the quest 3 and when going back to my aero I miss the hand tracking PC control feature. I love the aero and it's excellent. But I find the aero no matter what has a slightly out of focus feel whereas the quest 3 is strain free and perfect on the eyes. This could be a focal distance issue or a lens issue. It seems maybe the VR1 has solved this with better lenses and focal distance adjustment... Performance: Compared to the aero how is the fps decrease linear with the resolution increase? Is there any inefficiency there?

Is the VR1 more efficient or less efficient in terms of render performance? - Does it have any kind of center or edge distortion? - Does it have CA/color shifting?

Actually quantifying **useful** field of view would be valuable. For example, overlay a virtual monitor, move it out to around 50 degrees off-center (100 FoV), adjust font size to smallest that is still easily legible, then do the math to estimate how many rows and columns of legible text. Yes, this is as much about VR1 as monitor replacement as it is for checking aircraft instrument panels at a glance.

Hello Steve. Question on the MR side. Do you know when you configure the software for MR for use with a real world cockpit, how would you account for things if you have a seat mover situation? Would the software and cameras be able to account for a stationary cockpit if the seat (and headset) are moving or would the cockpit need to move relative to the person moving in the seat mover?

@bravaldi 3 месяца назад

While we are talking about seat movers and motions platforms in general, what is your impressions of making this work with a motion setup? Were you able to configure the software so that the visuals don't shift when the platform moves around but you remain stationary in-seat? Any lighthouse trickery you needed to deal with? I only have a Quest 2, so I am only familiar with inside out systems rather than outside-in using Lighthouse setups.

@didrickkazowski2340 4 месяца назад

I'll be getting the base model with eye tracking. Eye tracking is used for several things, like dynamic foveated rendering DFR, which essentially renders the immediate center of your vision at higher resolution, and the outer range at progressively lower resolution as you move to the outer edge. But because of how our eyes work, the differences are barely noticeable. At a computational level though, DFR will reduce GPU overhead, so performance will be adjustable and better overall... More fps. Also, eye tracking is used in things like VR Chat to make interactions more human because your eye movement is mirrored in game. I will use eye tracking if DFR works well with my games, but Artur said it can be disabled if desired, so if it's not working with the software I use, I'll disable it. However I wouldn't want to find myself in a situation where I ordered the headset without eye tracking, and find that performance is bad for a specific game ie Elden Ring (very heavy in VR) and I don't have the option to adjust it with DFR because I didn't order it, then I'm sol until Nvidia releases the next gen GPU.

Hopefully they fix the microphone, you sounded really good, but the pops and like a scratching sound was annoying, but voice wise, you sounded really good and clear. Just need to angle the mic differently maybe so it doesn't pick up air from breathing when talking? Neat HMD, just another really swell toy I won't be able to afford! LOL

It is very concerning that less than a month from orders opening up this headset STILL completely lacks audio. Valve-like off-ear audio or no buy.

does it have eye tracking and dfov?

What controllers does it come with or do you need to get those separately?

@Ryudarwolf 4 месяца назад

Lighthouse based system so any lighthouse controllers work (Index knuckles). No controllers included.

@@Ryudarwolf thanks. Expensive for no controllers but luckily I have Index controllers as part of my set up.

Comfort is honestly the most important thing for me. I had to return my Pimax Crystal because it was so heavy and uncomfortable. I hope this headset feels better to wear.

How smooth is the image when quickly moving your head? The Aero's motion blur is starting to get to me.

@VRFlightSimGuy 4 месяца назад

Good question, I don't tend to move my head around that fast in VR but I'll test it.

It's so heavy? Damn😥 I was really looking forward to getting this thing, but I don't know now. Even G2 is hurting my spondylosis battled neck. Is S VR1 worse than G2 in this regard?

@l8knight845 4 месяца назад

It looks to be the same weight as the Crystal. So yes is going to be the answer

@lurchilurch5507 4 месяца назад
