Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition HMD

HP recently revealed the Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition, a virtual reality headset for businesses that captures biometric data for various uses. The Omnicept headset can track your pupil movement, mouth movement, and your heart rate. The HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition is based on the upcoming Reverb G2 VR headset and shares most of the core features, including the display resolution, speakers, and general form factor. The Omnicept Edition has a few upgrades that the basic model does not offer, including a wipeable PU leather cushion and a ratcheting adjustment system for the head strap.


The Omnicept Edtion includes eye-tracking sensors from Tobii, which enable gaze-based interactions. The headset is also compatible with NVIDIA's foveated rendering technology, improving rendering performance while enhancing localized image fidelity with super sampling. The face camera always records the user's mouth, and developers can use the captured data to animate avatars with natural human expressions in real-time. The facial expressions this camera captures can also tell a lot about your mood, especially when combined with your heartbeat.
