Finally eye tracking and foveated rendering have arrived - but it's not cheap - 60% more expensive than the Index:

So either $1600 or  € 1708 😉

So this is the first true Gen 2.0?  😉  😄 Could probably work with Knuckles - just add $300 = $ 1900 in total  B) (HTC is marketing the HMD as an enterprise solution, for now it's probably too expensive for HTC to consider gaming perspectives)

Surely with this resolution, Foveated rendering will only help users with lower end GFX cards ? If you can afford a 1.5k headset, you'd likely have a decent GFX card which could power the whole screen at full res anyway....

No need to track your eyes and only render at full res where you are looking if your GFX card is powerful enough to render the whole screen at full res.

I'd have thought foveated rendering was only worth while on much higher res screens, or on budget headsets for budget GFX card.

Just wondering if Vive Pro is $1200 and Vive Pro Eye is $1600 that the cost of eye tracking currently is about $400 - which could support the idea that this tech is too expensive for $500 HMDs... Even a "Rift-S Eye" for $800 probably wouldn't make a lot of sense... 

And "Rift-S + 2080 Ti = Vive Pro Eye" when it comes to costs isn't a great equation for most gamers, lol.

Vive Pro Eye may tech-wise be an important first step just to show that eye tracking and foveated rendering can be done.

(HTC is marketing the HMD as an enterprise solution, for now it's probably too expensive for HTC to consider gaming perspectives) 

I actually wonder if that's because the latency of the eye tracking and rendering is too high for gaming/rapid actions.

So what will they use it for ? As the Reverb was advertised, for medical industrial and the like ??

I have been lucky enough to scrap enough money together to purchase a Geforce 2080ti, but PC VR is never going to become mass market until Nvidia and the other greedy gits start to make it more affordable.
VR will eventually become popular but only when it's cheap enough and can replace even just a 1080p monitor. Rift S is cheap, but for a lot of people it doesn't replace their monitor.
I can imagine VR becoming popular when I'm a lot older and my old bones won't be able to play your Beat Saber or Creed. Anyways, I'm just happy I've been able to get hold of a Geforce 2080ti & HP Reverb to experience better resolutions.

Yea I almost bought a 2080TI yesterday. I had it in the cart, I've been kicking it around for months lol. What stopped me is I saw Ryzen 3k chips drop next month and I'd like to upgrade my CPU as well. So now I'm back to waiting to see what this 2080 super with the overclocked GDDR 6 Ram can do. I may grab one of those as a hold me over and go for the next tier 2180TI or w/e it ends up being.
