New Commercial VR Headset
HP is expanding its commercial VR push in a big way with the launch of the new HP Reverb Virtual Reality Headset, which the company says is targeted for verticals such as health care and for uses such as employee training. HP is touting the Windows Mixed Reality headset as having the highest VR resolution yet among offerings from major vendors, with resolution of 2,160 x 2,160 per eye. That level of clarity is crucial for some business applications that require reading text on the display screen, and compares to 1,440 x 1,440 per eye on HP's previously released Windows Mixed Reality Headset. The Reverb headset also features 114-degree field-of-view, integrated spatial audio and improved comfort, according to HP. In addition, the Reverb features a sleeker design and weighs just 0.95 of a pound, compared to 1.84 pounds on the HP Windows Mixed Reality headset.
The HP Reverb Virtual Reality Headset - Professional Edition is expected to be available in late April. Pricing was not immediately disclosed.
