Pretty straight forward question : is the Vive Cosmos Elite compatible with Lighthouses 2.0 ?

@deddokamu - The Cosmos' external tracking faceplate is compatible with both BS 1.0 and 2.0. It gets tricky with the "Cosmos Elite" as that's specifically a bundle with v1.0 controllers and stations - the controllers in that bundle wouldn't be able to see 2.0 stations.

Ok thanks a lot for the quick reply 🙂 and is there a full 2.0 bundle in the works ?

@deddokamu - That's an extra tricky scenario for a number of reasons. We have not announced plans for a 2.0 Elite bundle at this time.

In short, since Valve is the currently the only OEM authorized to make 2.0 stations - the supply chain is very narrow. With the launch of HL: Alyx as well as the general disruptions in global supply chain mean there will be tremendous demand for Valve's hardware stock over the next few months.

Hi @VibrantNebula

Can you tell us if there are any plans anytime soon for a updated controller (from the v1.0  version) for use with the Cosmos face-plate and if so will they have advanced features planned like hand and finger sensing incorporated into them?

Thanks

Fink.

clear! Thanks a lot! 
One last question what's the resolution of the front facing cameras on the Elite ?

It is same as Comos but Elite would not work with SRWorks.
