Questions about HTC Vive Cosmos

According to the online reviews, the tracking of the controllers takes place via the illuminated rings on the controllers themselves. The cameras on the headset track these rings accordingly to determine the position of the controllers. The whole thing (and more) is described in more detail on the following page => https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/htc-vive-cosmos-vs-vive-pro/

This is not a problem. Normal batteries only have 1.5V directly after unpacking. In a few minutes of operation (depending on the power), the voltage drops significantly.

There are no base stations, no lighthouse tracking. The glasses use inside-out tracking, see also the many camera lenses on the HMD.

By manufacturer : Operating system: Windows® 10 There is some test for Steam VR for MAC but the market is too small so it will take some time! So you could use the Cosmos via Steam VR MAC! Otherwise look at Oculus, they seem to be compatible with MAC! You can also use it directly via smartphone. Oculus Quest you are good to go! Oculus Quest 128GB I don't know about Oculus yet, but this one will also be worth buying!

I would also be interested in this. I would like to simply replace the VR glasses from the first Vive generation (because they have a higher resolution).

Yes that works, but you also need the: HTC Wireless Adapter Mounting Kit (Cosmos) (HTC Vive Cosmos)

The Cosmos comes with an A cable, you don't need an adapter. The 980ti is sufficient according to the manufacturer's specifications, but I do not have my own experience.

Nein, dazu braucht man noch den HTC Vive Wireless Adapter. HTC Vive Wireless Adapter (HTC Vive)

There is a wireless adapter for the VIVE Cosmos (https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/htc-vive-wireless-adapter-vr-zubehoer-9577370), but the PC is still needed. Standalone VR is offered by e.g. Oculus Quest/Go or HTC VIVE Focus.

Yes. The glasses have sensors (camera). You do not need external sensors.

It has been improved, tracking runs cleanly for vr-only and vr-optimised titles. But still, neither I nor anyone I know can manage a longer session. So 30-60min max, then comes sweat, burning eyes and ev nausea.... + the cable mess, if wireless is not playing General: Still far from perfect or optimal.

Warranty case in my opinion, should get a replacement upon request to support.

If you already have a VR from HTC, the first version with basic boxes is really not bad! The battery in the controller is just ridiculous! The glasses themselves are good! With the update that will come for about 100.- is the glasses Lighthouse Tracked! Otherwise buy the Vive right away!
