[chimerax-users] HP Reverb headset

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Shingo,

  I think Oculus Rift S is the best choice for ChimeraX VR.  Unfortunately all the good VR headsets are sold out apparently because of production delays in China the last few months.  So you will have to be patient.  I think it is worth waiting instead of getting a headset that will not function well.

ChimeraX just uses the Windows Mixed Reality runtime through SteamVR so I expect any Windows Mixed Reality headset will work.  That said, the reviews on the HP Reverb are poorer than other headsets
