__TOC__
==Introduction==
The [[HP Reverb G2]], part of [[HP VR]], was created in partnership with [[Windows]] and [[Valve]] and released in late 2020. It improves upon previous HP models like the original Reverb G1 and the Windows Mixed Reality headsets, but maintains the same high resolution as the first Reverb.<ref name=”six”></ref>

The G2 has one of the most impressive resolutions on the market, creating sharp and clear images with no screen door effect.<ref name=”six”></ref>
==Release and Pricing==

The HP Reverb G2 started shipping in November 2020 at $599. There were some shipment issues for pre-orders due to “shipment prioritization:” some headsets were available in store for purchase before the pre-orders were fulfilled.<ref name=”seven”>https://press.hp.com/us/en/blogs/2020/hp-reverb-g2-vr-shipping-update.html</ref>

* HP Reverb G2 HMD

Valve designed the lenses and speakers of the headset.<ref name=”one”>https://www8.hp.com/us/en/vr/reverb-g2-vr-headset.html</ref> The speakers mirror those on the Valve index, slightly pulled away from your ears.

This is the first Windows Mixed Reality headset to contain 4 instead of 2 cameras on the HMD, which improves tracking.<ref name=”six”>https://www.roadtovr.com/hp-reverb-g2-review/</ref>

==Input devices==

The Reverb G2 comes with two controllers that are similar to the Oculus Touch controllers.

You can also use the Valve Index Controllers with your Reverb G2 headset. You’ll need the external bay stations, valve controllers, and a receiver to sync them with your HMD.<ref name=”five”>https://uploadvr.com/how-to-use-hp-reverb-g2-with-valve-index-controllers/</ref>

==Accessories==

===VR Backpack===
You have the ability to freely roam VR experiences with [[HP Z VR Backpack PC]]. The backpack comes with two, swappable battery packs. You can also dock the computer for a desktop experience. HP noted training, location-based entertainment, and design as three industries that could benefit from this.<ref name=”four”>https://www8.hp.com/us/en/vr/vr-backpack.html</ref>
