Bigscreen Beyond - I tried the world's smallest VR headset!
Introduction
In this section, the speaker introduces himself and talks about his experience with the Big Screen Beyond VR headset.
The World's Smallest VR Headset
- The speaker had a chance to try out the world's smallest VR headset, the Big Screen Beyond.
- Upon seeing the small size of the headset, he initially thought it was fake.
- The headset is real and weighs only 127 grams. It comes with a facial interface made from silicone form or similar material.
Comfort and Display Quality
This section covers comfort and display quality of the Big Screen Beyond VR headset.
Facial Interface and Comfort
- To use the headset, you need to scan your face to get your own face cushion. The speaker used Max's cushion since they have similar IPD and face shape.
- The facial interface is comfortable with no light leakage. Later on, he will receive his own facial interface.
- The material of this facial interface is made from something like silicon form or so.
Display Quality
- There is no software needed to connect it to PC; SteamVR recognizes it automatically.
- The micro OLED display has a resolution of 2560 by 2560 per eye, which makes it look crystal clear with no visible pixels.
- Colors are good due to OLED displays, black levels are really black, and there are no problems with mura effects or anything else.
Field of View and Controls
This section covers the field of view and controls of the Big Screen Beyond VR headset.
Field of View
- Due to the small shape of this headset, the lenses are pretty small, and so is the field of view. It's a little bit smaller than Quest 2.
- The display is so good, and the headset is so small that you don't feel it on your head. The small field of view was not such a big problem.
Controls
- The speaker used Index controllers because Big Screen Beyond has Lighthouse tracking from Steam. This allows for playing all SteamVR games with no problems.
Review of the Bigscreen Beyond Headset
In this section, the speaker reviews the Bigscreen Beyond headset and its features.
Features of the Bigscreen Beyond Headset
- The headset is small and lightweight, but lacks face tracking, eye tracking, hand tracking, cameras or any other feature that could add weight to it.
- The IPD (interpupillary distance) is fixed and cannot be adjusted. There are no modules available for purchase either.
- Base stations are required for proper tracking. They need to be mounted on walls or tripods.
- The facial interface can be removed easily for cleaning purposes.
- The IPD is measured using an iPhone app during setup. This means that the headset is not suitable for sharing with others who have different IPDs.
- Prescription lenses can be ordered separately for people who wear glasses.
- The headset connects via USB-C cable. An adapter can be used to connect headphones with an audio jack.
Audio and Microphone Quality
- The integrated microphone has stereo sound quality and is ideal for YouTubers or anyone who needs a good microphone while using VR headsets.
- A test recording was made to demonstrate the quality of the microphone.
Full Body Tracking
- Full body tracking can be achieved by using Vive trackers or Tundra trackers on knees and feet.
Price and Availability
