  • Wider field-of-view, 'Knuckle' Controllers, Room-scale VR, Great audio
  • Still uses base stations, SteamVR has serious issues, Lackluster game selection, Glasses do get in the way
  • The Valve Index might be one of the best VR headsets ever released, but it's brought some of VR's most annoying aspects along for the ride. Setting it up can be painful, updates can cause connection issues and you may find a new error the next time you go...

  • Abstract:  Virtual reality is a fascinating way to travel using nothing more than the power of technology. With a headset and motion tracking, VR lets you look around a virtual space as if you're actually there, or play a game as though you're in it. VR's been gaini...

  • Valve's Index is a premium VR set for enthusiasts: those of us who have a powerful PC, the space to set up external sensors to cover a large area, and who want to experience the cutting edge of finger-tracking input devices. It justifies its high $1,000 p...

  • Ampio campo visivo (senza occhiali), Controller Knuckle, VR room-scale, Ottimo audio,
  • Base Station, SteamVR ha problemi seri, Libreria giochi da migliorare, Un po' scomodo per chi indossa occhiali,
  • Valve Index è il visore VR di nuova generazione che stavamo aspettando, ma la piattaforma Steam VR non è stata ancora ottimizzata a dovere. Il kit completo costa 1.079 euro, ma il visore rappresenta un bell'investimento per il futuro. Il difetto? Il softw...

  • Benjamin Kratsch, Designt für Half-Life Alyx, liefert Valve ein VR-Headset der nächsten Generation zum Apple-Preis ab. Die Knuckle-Controller tracken mit 87 Sensoren jeden einzelnen Finger, was zu neuen Gameplay-Ideen und mehr Immersion führt. Doch reicht
  • Valve Index ist Luxus-VR, da müssen wir uns nichts vormachen. Der Einstieg ist mit 1000 Euro sehr hoch und wer in 144 Hz spielen möchte, der braucht auch noch eine Grafikkarte im Bereich einerRTX 2080für 700 Euro. Lohn...

  • Wenn Geld keine Rolle spielen würdeWenn Geld tatsächlich keine Rolle spielen würde, wäre die Empfehlung, beide Headsets zu wählen, denn beide haben ihre Stärken. Die Valve Index käme immer dann zum Einsatz, wenn eine längere Session am immer gleichen Eins...

  • Valve hat mit der Valve Index eine wirklich gute Highend-VR-Brille abgeliefert. Sie ist derzeit klar die beste PC-VR-Brille für Enthusiasten - das notwendige Kleingeld und den Willen, den etwas höheren Aufwand fürs Tracking zu betreiben, vorausgesetzt.Die...

  • Dennis Ziesecke: Ich musste mit der Valve Index im Test erst einmal ein paar Tage warm werden. Anfangs war ich ein wenig von der gegenüber der deutlich günstigeren Oculus Rift S kaum besseren Bildqualität enttäuscht - angesichts des Preises von 1.079 Euro...
