Project Q is the upcoming streaming only device that will allow you to play games installed on a PlayStation 5 remotely.
It has not been announced if the handheld will allow streaming of games from the cloud and is rumoured to cost between £250 - £300.
Will you be picking one up later this year?
I’m expecting my next big ticket purchase to be Deckard if it ever comes out. That’ll be my entry into VR. I’m keeping eye an Deck compatible storage prices too. Hope storage keeps dropping.
I want the Apple Vision Pro lol. It’s a chunk of change, but the amount of tech they put in there is stupid, and ideally I’d get in some development to be on the ground floor when they make a more affordable version.
VR is nice. Skyrim was mind blowing. It just takes up too much space and where I have space isn’t where I use my computer so I fell off it.
I’d love the vision too, but I’m going to wait for the vision air after couple generations haha. By then I’m sure VR will be absolutely amazing and blow out the first Gen vision pro and hopefully make it look ridiculously bulky by then and be a much lighter sleeker headset.
I’m guessing the “cheap” version will be significantly cut down. If you actually compare the tech in it to the rest of the space I think they’re pricing it pretty damn aggressively. There aren’t other options with just the resolution, but when there are they’re going to be $2k+ on their own. The resolution is the biggest thing I’ve been waiting for before moving from my vive. It makes a huge difference.
I’m guessing they’ll be best in class at low latency full quality passthrough for a good while, too. Nothing else out there is close to that. Add in how much more powerful it is than the other standalone options and Apple being miles ahead of anyone else in terms of AR development tools (solo developers can genuinely make AR stuff right now that works on the phone), and I’d really like to take the plunge. We’ll see how my self control works in the mean time and whether I can actually be there to pull the trigger right away, but there’s nothing out there comparable to what it is.
I’d like to say I’d get a Vision Pro when it’s cooled off and maybe pick it up used but I wonder about the creation process. I think I heard about something with scanning the face when ordering so is it meant to be form fitting? I guess maybe I can get it used and have it adjusted/be scanned for a replacement padding.
I have to think there will be some method of scanning to replace the back at some point. While they’d obviously love it if everyone got their own, I can’t imagine they think it’s realistic enough that they’d try to force your hand and pass up on the software sales of multiple users on a device, especially when they can’t make all that many.
But worst case you can probably get a third party, not custom fit option at some point.
