Not entirely VorpX related, but this will help a lot of people. I found this:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/719950/discussions/0/3276824488715073552/?ctp=3I thought the display was good on the Odyssey+ before doing this. Wow, huge improvement. VorpX games look even better now. I can’t even imagine going back to my Vive after this.
I wonder if this outdoes the Pimax 5k in now, since screen displays were showing that as being sharper than the Odyssey+. That’s crazy you couldn’t run things natively by default though.
May sound silly but I almost can’t imagine a screen much better than what I’m seeing. It’s pretty much almost like looking at a monitor. Such a massive upgrade from the vive.
why is odyssey+ tagged as mixed reality headset ? is it really a virtual reality headset like htc vive ?
mixed reality is like those microsoft hololenses headset for me.
Mixed Reality is what Windows calls their HMDs. The Odyssey+ is a Windows Mixed Reality Headset, but it’s VR. Just different terminology 😊
alright, thanks ^^
is it worth it to get odyssey+ over regular htc vive ? i’m looking for something more comfortable, because right now, even with DAS, my htc vive is not comfortable at all, i got this comfort issue since day one (april 2016), tried everything, custom foams, prescription lenses to avoid using my glasses, DAS, custom made extra support to ease the pain around my nose, forehead, my htc vive now looks like a heavy prototype headset :DDDD
i’d really love a new shining comfortable headset.
@dborosev could tell you more, but the Odyssey+ is generally considered to be better than the Vive 👍. Here are a couple videos about it:
I would totally get it, but I want to be able to use my own headphones. The visuals are supposed to be awesome 😁. It’s supposed to be awesome with the anti-screen door effect.Here are some other comparison videos I looked at when I was just about to buy one, lol:
@steph12 That is awesome you have prescription lenses for your HMD! I didn’t even know you could get that until now! 😃 thanks! I will have to look into this… 👀😎
I upgraded from a Vive, and its a LOT better. (Although tracking isn’t 100%, but still plenty good).
The screen is drop dead gorgeous once you edit the config files to up the SS. No SDE, and almost looks monitor quality. And I did a simple mod to “elastic” the faceplate closer to my face, which solved any light bleed and comfort issues. Now, its far more comfy, WAY better visuals, and simpler to use than the Vive.
@dborosev how do you feel about the headphones
thanks for the links :D
yeah i got my lenses from there https://vroptician.com/
very serious shop, plus mine has anti blue light treatment, i can play for hours without having my eyes destroyed, before having those lenses my eyes were seriously tired/red after long periods of VR sessions.

does that mean odyssey+ is not comfy out of the box and have bad light bleeding ? it doesnt fit your face perfectly ?
Out of the box, there is quite a bit of light bleed for some people because the angle of the faceplate to the halo is just bad. Modding it (with elastics or velcro) to pull in the face plate closer so you can wear the halo properly fixes everything. Some people don’t have that issue.
The headphones are great. Same as the DAS.
