It’s been just over a year since Valve released Index, their flagship VR system, and it’s worth looking back at this GitHub repository as a fine example of how to provide supporting materials to a hacker-friendly hardware design. The image above shows off one of the hacker-friendly desig...
The glare seems to concentrate toward the edges of the lens and you can reduce it somewhat by dialing back the field of view a bit. The headphones on Index are simply excellent; easily the best of any headset on the market. The floating design is smart in the way that the headphones ...
We certainly like the more affordable price of the Oculus Rift S as well as the way it tracks your movement without the use of any external base stations but its specs leave something to be desired. That said, if you want the most premium VR package, the Valve Index is worth it....
Though Valve didn’t manufacture the Vive, they did contribute significant R&D to the headset and regularly referenced it as a point of comparison for Index (so we’ll do the same). So what has Valve done to try to get all the details right to raise the bar on VR fidelity? SEE ALSO...
Speaking of comfort, the Valve Index also feels great to wear. It's a bit heavier than the Rift S—enough that the weight is noticeable in a side-by-side comparison—but the shape of the head strap better distributes that weight around your head. The strap materials feel quality too—mo...
The Valve Index is arguably the most comfortable VR headset and offers the best controllers around, but it’s absurdly expensive and has subpar safety features.
There are no two ways around it, the Valve Index is an expensive VR option, but in my opinion, well worth it. You can pick up an Oculus unit for a much more reasonable price, but the Index is better in almost every single way. What VR headsets work with the Valve Index? The Valve...

Since a leaflet is not homogeneous through its cross section and large displacements were applied, it would be inaccurate to accept EI as the true bending stiffness. Instead, EI was reported as a bending stiffness index (BSI) which was used only to compare relative bending stiffnesses between ...
Valve has a long and storied history with virtual reality, but the company didn’t actually release a VR system of its own until 2019. That’s when the Valve Index was born. Until this point, the company had instead helped companies like Oculus (before it was acquired) and HTC to build...
