Its just surprising no one mentioned the 110 fov before.
We knew that for ages. PSVR without Parole accurately talked about PSVR2 hardware in spring of 2021 [their source was at Sony developer meeting], including 110FOV.
My favorite is their hdr showcase. The video is in sdr....
hopefully you wont have to repurchase
Exactly, its just that the 110degree fov didnt get talked about much, which was abit surprising (or not lol).
130 degree fov wouldve been up to current higher end pc solutions. The 2019 Index has 130fov, it does add to the immersion (in HL Alyx).
It's similar to the Odyssey+. I've seen a 115 diagonal measurement for both. It's noticeably wider than the Reverbs in my experience.
It's just unfortunate that PSVR2 sounds like it will be a familiar experience on the FOV front. I don't remember what PSVR1 was like anymore but 110 can't be that much wider.

its also super misleading.
Q2 is not only narrow, it also FAR AWAY from your eyes.
while PSVR1 allows eyes to be RIDICULOUSLY CLOSE
Its surprising because the rest of the specs are formiddable for a 400/500usd vr kit in 2022. (Tied to a 10TF main machine)
A wide fov adds to the immersion, a crucial aspect to the total experience.

We won't know until it's the fov is measured. A lot of factors contribute to the actual fov experienced.
A quick search showed a measured fov of 108 horizontal and 106 vertical for the Valve Index.

When we set out to create the Index HMD, one of our primary goals was to improve the overall fidelity of the VR experience, including visuals, audio, ergonomics, tracking quality, and more.

If 130fov results in 106/108, then 110 will be quite below todays highend standards.

Not necessarily.

I can't find anywhere where Valve list the fov as being 130°. They only say:
Fov is a simple geometrical relationship between your eyes and the screen so it has range from person to person. I don't think the Index is physically capable of a 130° fov.
Depending on who you listen to, the HTC Vive has a typical fov or a bad fov. So 20° more than what?

psvr1 measured fov
101 horizontal, 104 vertical, almost exactly as sony advertised, psvr2 being 110 horizontal will be similar or above competitors on market (with exception of pimax that costed 1300$ on premiere and doesnt support eye tracking and haptick feedback).

Valve Index is a 2019 VR product, its not a 2022/2023 one. Its listed as a 130 degree fov and 144hz panel, abit weird its lower than 130?
Theres allegedly coming VR sets this/next year which would be a more accurate comparison. VR remains a niche market though, so its entirely possible everyone but Sony is ignoring it. On PC its the mod community that makes VR interesting there, otherwise its your standard VR games akin to PS4.
Maybe PSVR2 injects some interest for others, but then it has to do better than PSVR in sales.

The 130 number for Index seems to be related to adjustable eye distance. It's a diagonal measurement. I also see 115 for that. And yeah that does vary by user.
With the Reverb G2 one can skip the removable face frame and attach a mask directly to the HMD and get a few more degrees as well. You can get your eyelashes flicking against the lenses and can see the edges of the LCD panels heh. It's still less FOV than an Odyssey+.
