A comparison of the Varjo Aero and HP Reverb G2 virtual reality headsets reveals some interesting differences between the two products. Both feature a wide field of view and high refresh rate, which are essential for an immersive VR experience. However, there are distinct differences in resolution, minimum CPU and graphics requirements, and operating system.

The Varjo Aero has a higher resolution than the Reverb G2 (2880 x 2720 px vs 2160 x 2160 px) but also requires a more powerful CPU (Intel Core i5-4590 or Intel Xeon E5-1620, AMD Ryzen 5 1500X equivalent or better). It also features room scale tracking support for 360 degree movement, allowing for greater exploration within the virtual world. The drawback here is that it only supports Windows as an operating system.

The HP Reverb G2 has slightly lower resolution than its counterpart but requires less demanding hardware to run (Intel Core i5 or i7, Intel Xeon E3-1240 v5 equivalent or better; Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080/AMD Radeon RX 5700). Its compatibility with Windows is still present but this headset also offers full integration with SteamVR and Viveport platforms making it great for gamers looking to take their experience to another level. As far as drawbacks go here, the lack of room scale tracking might be seen as a con by some users who wish to explore larger virtual environments in full detail.

As far as my personal opinion goes regarding these two headsets I would say that both offer great value when it comes to immersing yourself into your favourite game or other digital media forms - however if you’re looking for higher detail visuals and more accurate motion tracking then I believe the Varjo Aero would be the superior choice thanks to its sharper display resolution and room scale tracking capabilities.
