Have questions about Samsung odyssey.

Watching the apple VR release drew me to this sub. I have never even tried an vr headset. After reading lots of posts on this sub, I ordered an odyssey. Should be here in a few days. Why an odyssey? It has a wired connection to my pc and it has oled. At the price I paid, if I don’t like it, it’s no big deal. If I really like it, I can get something better.
 
I have a 3070ti. Hopefully that’s enough to get me started. I will upgrade if I end up liking it or if I buy the upcoming Samsung hmd.
 
Are there 3D videos or movies I can watch somewhere after I get it? What’s the first thing I should do with it? What do you typically show someone who has never tried vr?
 
What’s the next pc vr hmd that’s coming out? I want it to be wired.

You do know this isn't Reddit, right?

If it's the Odyssey+ it's a (should I say was?) cracking little headset but the Quest 3 is leaps and bounds more advanced.

Do a search of the forum for best VR experiences, what should I try first - something like that - you'll get plenty of results.

Big PC, all the headsets, now using Quest 3

The Odyssey is a WMR (Windows Mixed Reality) headset. Microsoft are discontinuing WMR, they've said in 2026 they are stopping downloads of the software needed to run all WMR headsets (Odyssey, HP Reverb G2, etc).

The next one hasn't been confirmed but it's rumored to be called the Meta Quest 3s or Quest Lite which is a trimmed down version of the 3.

Samsung's followup to the Odyssey hasn't been released that one is focused on XR and doesn't have a name yet. It likely won't be using Windows Mixed Reality because that was discontinued and will be built on a VR optimised version of Android instead.

You can find articles on it under Samsung XR Infinite

For a tethered PC VR headset you have flexibility of choosing the applications like SteamVR, Virtual Desktop or Bigscreen VR. For videos, use YouTube.
