Using the same Fresnel lenses as the Quest 2 instead, you can expect a smidge more distortion, and a lower resolution output across the board.

It&#8217;s the best option for SteamVR compatibility and provides users access to the entire Steam library at the tip of their virtual fingers, with support for hundreds of VR games. As for the hardware itself, the headset features dual 1440 x 1600 LCDs with full RGB per pixel, (up to) a 144Hz refresh rate, and a massive 130-degree field of view.<\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":6,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":6,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":6,\"ruleCount\":1000,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":856} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"currentRuleCount\":1000,\"actualCount\":856,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":true,\"countRemainingForInjection\":144,\"nextBlockCount\":380,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":true,\"nextCount\":1236} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":6,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":6,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":6,\"ruleCount\":1000,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":1000} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":7,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":7,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":6,\"ruleCount\":1000,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":0} --><\/p>\n<p>Although the Valve Index is hardly a cheap option, its modular design offsets the cost somewhat. This approach means that you&#8217;re not necessarily saddled with the cost of the complete kit and can pick and choose the components that you want.

These utilize sensors added for each individual finger and are controlled via a touch-sensitive panel.
