Vuzix Wrap VR 1200DX vs Wrap 920 first impressions
Posted: Tue Jun 03, 2014 3:52 pm
Hey,
Just got my new Vuzix glasses delivered today and I have tried them on for about 5 minutes, but OMG! the difference between the two pairs is amazing... it's like wearing the grand daddy of VR
Playing Watchdogs
Nvidia stereoscopic drivers just work... 3D kicks in automatically and windows detetcs its 3D capable hardware (I'm using a 760gtx)
They feel very comfortable
They do feel more immersive and less like a viewer, although I mean it feels more immersive in the sense of I feel like I have a big TV infront of me kind of feel instead of feeling im in the game...
The picture between the eyes is better stitched together it feels like one big screen where as the 920's kind of felt like you were peering through two close but ever so slightly out of focus screens...
The picture is notically sharper compared to VGA
Being able to accept native 1080p signal is a win, I don't have to mess around with my settings!
The light sheild makes a very big difference it definatly blocks the rest of the world out...
The built in rechargeable battery pack is a big win but it is heavy on your glasses if you dont support it...
In short if you have tried the other Wraps or VR920's the difference is Huge! They aren't just an iterative slightly higher resolution with hdmi they are a new completely different beast!
NOTE:
I am bit of a noob I haven't tried the Oculus Rift only the two other previous generations of Vuzix :p This has definately made me think wow Vuzix actually has something!
