Big screen is increasing the range of PC VR headsets it offers with the official release of the Beyond 2 and Beyond 2e. When these headsets are released in April 2025, it is expected that they will significantly improve field-of-view (FOV), clarity, and adjustable interpupillary distance (IPD).
Because of their enhanced comfort and compatibility with SteamVR, they have the potential to completely transform virtual reality experiences for both commercial and consumer users.
- Key features and prices outside of 2 on Bigscreen: The cost is $1,019 ($849 for previous Beyond owners).
- Eye-tracking is a feature of the $1,219 ($1,049 for Beyond owners) Bigscreen Beyond 2e that enhances interactivity and data analysis.
- FOV: increased from the initial 102 degrees to a diagonal of 116 degrees.
- With a weight of just 107 grams, it is one of the lightest PC VR headsets available.
- Resolution: A pair of 2,560 x 2,560 micro-OLED panels with increased brightness and reduced glare
- Rate of Refresh: 90Hz and 75Hz are supported.
Tracking the Eyes on Beyond 2e
Beyond 2e presents eye tracking driven by AI that works in unison with the OpenXR and SteamVR platforms. Users may anticipate more engaging social and interactive app experiences as well as better performance in games like VRChat.
Comfort and Flexibility
A notable improvement over Beyond 1’s fixed architecture is the adjustable IPD system. Clear millimeter marks within the headset allow users to adjust lens placement for better clarity. Bigscreen has also included a universal Lightseal facial interface for greater comfort and shareability.
Compatibility and Accessories
Bigscreen Beyond 2 supports SteamVR 1.0 and 2.0 base stations along with popular controllers like Valve’s Index controllers. It also offers compatibility with existing accessories such as the fiber optic cable and Audio Strap. Comfort and usability will be further improved with the impending halo-style strap that has precise adjustability.
In conclusion
FOV, clarity, and user comfort all noticeably improve with the Bigscreen Beyond 2 and Beyond 2e. These headphones, which come in Carbon Black, Crystal Clear, and Nuclear Orange, are designed for both professionals and casual users. Bigscreen provides an appealing upgrade for VR aficionados at launch rates for prior owners.
