Reverb

[APC900]

I know there is an original HP Reverb and also an HP Reverb G2.

Within the G2 line, is there more than one revision....(I.E....G2 version1/ G2 version2, etc....?

If there is a variant... What are the physical or electrical differences...different lenses, data cables etc...?

Hi@APC900,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! I'd like to help!

I see you are looking for differences with the HP Reverb G2 Virtual Reality Headset.

• There is no comparison, especially with G2's superior tracking and its greatly improved clarity over the G1. 

• The HP Reverb G1 is a very good headset with a few major display flaws which turned customers off. The new announcement for the G2 promises to fix those and bring even more improvements. In this guide, we will explain each headset and show you the differences in the HP Reverb G1 vs G2.

  This will help you decide whether to buy the HP Reverb over other popular headsets from Oculus or HTC.

• The HP Reverb is a VR Headset built on the Windows Mixed Reality (WMR) platform. WMR is an ecosystem from Microsoft designed for head-mounted displays. Other devices on the WMR platform include the Microsoft HoloLens AR glasses and the Samsung Odyssey+ and Acer OJO 500 VR headsets.

  WMR devices integrate well with the Windows 10 platform, promising low latency and high performance with a connected PC. You can also stream and use Windows 10 on your WMR VR headset.

  All WMR devices also support the Steam platform for a wider selection of games.

  Check out our VR Headset Comparison Tool for a table of of specs for all headsets.

The overall summary of the HP Reverb G1 and G2 are the same. It is a PC VR headset that must be tethered to a connected gaming PC. The PC requirements for the Reverb G1 and G2 headsets are the same.

The G2 is the best Windows VR headset and one that is easily worth checking out. The Reverb G2 is a much better headset for gaming than the G1.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
