The follow up to Samsung's Odyssey VR headset has
just passed through the FCC revealing much of its features. It's called the
Odyssey+ and bears the model number XE800ZBA.
This suggests a small upgrade over the original
Odyssey (XE800ZAA). According to the FCC listing the new VR headset has a
bigger nose contact area, wider eye box and anti-fog (possibly referencing that
the lenses will get foggy less because of the wider nose area).
The Samsung Odyssey+ will add SteamVR support to the
existing Windows Mixed Reality support. This means the new headset will be able
to consume VR content from Steam without the need for Windows as a middle
ground.
Finally the Odyssey+ will use AMOLED + SFS but what
that means is unclear at the moment. Samsung announced the HMD Odyssey
VR headset in October of last year so it's logical to expect it successor
around the same time this year.
