In 2016 the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive were launched and made VR presentable. In the meantime, a lot of time has passed, numerous games and better follow-up devices were introduced. We have tried one of the latter: The HTC Vive Cosmos Elite.
Without accessories the VR headset costs 420 € (currently € 419,70), together with controllers and two base stations that do the tracking, the headset is available for 820 € (currently € 819,23).
The following article has partly the structure of a test report, but due to the lack of comparison devices it is not really supposed to be one. Instead of comparing the HTC Vive Cosmos Elite with other devices, we want to describe our first experiences with the headset and explain the advantages and problems VR brings to the current generation.
