          HTC Vive vs Samsung HMD Odyssey - User Opinions

            Both headsets offer the same 110-degree field of view and have OLED screens. However, the Samsung displays are a combined resolution of 2880×1600 while the HTC Vive Headset is only 2160×1200. You would think its higher resolution would give the Odyssey a much better image, but the two headsets are surprisingly similar.Jan 4, 2022

            There is a critical difference, though, in the way the systems track your motion. The HTC Vive uses external sensors, called lighthouses, to track both your headset and your hand controllers, even your fingers. The Samsung Odyssey Plus uses cameras on your headset to track your movement and your hand controllers.Jan 4, 2022
