Why choose this product?
- 2880 × 2880 resolution per eye and 35 PPD provide the pixel density needed to read small cockpit instruments, dashboards and interface text more clearly.
- Four-camera inside-out tracking and a direct DisplayPort 1.4a connection provide a complete wired PCVR route without making external tracking stations mandatory for the normal setup.
