QuestionDo you need sensors for tracking on the HTC VIVE COSMOS?
Asked 6 years ago by Modelo64.
- Answer The cosmos comes with "Inside-Out" tracking which means it has built in sensors (6 to be exact). Though it is supposed to work well, "outside-in" tracking (external trackers watching you) is still the most efficient for tracking, move latency, etc. The cosmo's is compatible with also using "Outside-In" tracking via Steam VR 1.0/2.0 Lighthouses BUT you must buy a special faceplate to enable this feature. We run arcades and distribute VR Treadmills and its a bummer as this changes our packages in a negative way.

QuestionWould I be able to connect the original vive controllers to this device?
Asked 5 years ago by Sal.
- Answer They are making the head set work with 2.0 tracking, but it's another expensive you would have to add. I'm not sure if it's gonna be compatible with 1.0.

QuestionIs rumor of a 2hr controller battery life accurate?
Asked 6 years ago by Kaptkrunch.
- Answer Yes and it requires 2 AA batteries, why? to create super duper bright blinding lights around the controller ring because they opted for low res RGB cam vs IR I'm not an oculus spokesperson but for inside-out entry level VR, Rift S is the only way to go in my opinion.
  I would recommend:
  - Oculus - Rift S PC-Powered VR Gaming Headset - Black

QuestionI know that the price is the exact same on BestBuy.com as it is on HTC's website, but I'm leaning towards purchasing from them as it comes with a free 6 months of VivePort. Does anyone who has purchased from BestBuy know if this comes with Viveport?
Asked 5 years ago by SyNstuff.
- Answer Yes. it does come with it. I return my Cosmos because the tracking was so bad. I couldn't even play Beat Saber. When back to my Vive.

QuestionHave they fixed the tracking, noise, heat and compatibility issues yet? Basically, does it work as advertised yet?
Asked 6 years ago by kaptkrunch.
- Answer Not sure what you mean by nosie, it doesn't make nosie. Also heat? The lenses don't shoot heat out to your face. I have played all the games I wanted to on mine, no man sky, Skyrim, fallout, and blade and sorcery. The tracking is way better than the Samsung odessy I have by alot . With the odseey I can't even use 2 handed weapons right, can't holster my weapons, and in no man sky I can't get my multi tool out right. With the cosmos I have none of these problems.
