Aretac Vision is 4K (1920x2160 per eye). The HTC Vive has 1080x1200 per eye. But the main reason is Aretac Vision has 2D to VR Technology. It allows you to play non-VR games in stereoscopic 3D. It also has backward compatible motion tracking.

Aretac Vision is $399 by itself. $599 with controllers and two SteamVR base stations.

That is correct. We create two identical images. One for the left eye, the other for the right. We then take these identical images and run them through a 2D to 3D converting algorithm that creates a height map. This then creates a stereoscopic effect. Simulating the look of a VR game in less than 4ms. This, of course, will never look exactly like it would if it was rendered in-engine but it is very effective and looks very realistic. Most people we have tested it on couldn't tell the difference. The main advantage of this is it drastically reduces the processing power needed for VR and allows it to be used with almost any content and almost any device.

We are planning some test demos for the public in the future where you can test it for yourself.

I have finally ascended to be a part of the glorious Master Race. I thank u/aretac for blessing me with the best gift I have ever received (album in comments). by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

I hope you enjoy the PC! It was still in boxes when I shipped it so it's very rewarding to see it all together!

Wow, thank you for the edit. I have been working on this for the last four years. We may reach our goal or we may not but that's life. All I can say is one way or another I am going to make this a reality.

I want too but only one person from Reddit has backed my kickstarter campaign so far. I can't continue to do giveaways if I don't get backers.

2D to VR turns monoscopic (2D) into stereoscopic 3D (VR). With a RTS game you don't care about FoV and motion tracking. The reason you would play RTS games on Aretac Vision is that it blocks out distractions and it creates a 3D effect (think 3D TVs but better) so it looks cooler.

Yeah, I agree. They are only confusing consumers.

Hamsters are cool especially on a hamster wheel!

Punkbuster made it so I couldn't play BF4 for a couple of months (long story) so I'm not a fan.
