The '''HP Reverb G1''' ( | The '''HP Reverb G1''' (marketed simply as '''HP Reverb''' at launch<ref name="Verge"/>) is a [[Virtual Reality]] [[head-mounted display]] (HMD) developed and manufactured by [[HP Inc.]].<ref name="QS"/> Announced on March 19, 2019<ref name="HPPR"/> and released shortly after in April/May 2019<ref name="RTVAnn"/>, it was part of the second wave of [[Windows Mixed Reality]] (WMR) headsets.<ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/> The Reverb G1 gained significant attention for its high display [[resolution]]—2160 x 2160 pixels per eye—which surpassed nearly all consumer and professional headsets available at the time, including the [[HTC Vive Pro]], offering exceptional visual clarity and significantly reducing the [[screen door effect]].<ref name="TechRadar_Review"/><ref name="PCMag_Review"/><ref name="PCWorld"/> It was targeted towards both professional/enterprise users (particularly in design, training, and simulation) and VR enthusiasts demanding the highest fidelity.<ref name="QS"/><ref name="GamersByNight_Tracking"/><ref name="YouTube_Exigeous_Review"/><ref name="MoorInsights_Article"/> | ||
== | == History == | ||
HP unveiled the Reverb at its Reinvent Partner Forum on March 19, 2019,<ref name="HPPR"/> positioning it as a successor to their first WMR device, the [[HP Windows Mixed Reality Headset (VR1000)]].<ref name="MoorInsights_Article"/> The Reverb aimed to meet a growing demand, especially in professional fields like architecture, engineering, healthcare, and training, for higher visual fidelity to enable clearer visualization of intricate models, text, and detailed virtual environments.<ref name="QS"/><ref name="MoorInsights_Article"/><ref name="Develop3D_Review"/> Pre-orders opened immediately for two versions: a Consumer Edition ($599) and a Professional Edition ($649).<ref name="HPPR"/><ref name="Upload"/><ref name="TechRadar_Review"/> The Professional Edition began shipping in late April 2019, with the Consumer Edition following on May 6, 2019.<ref name="RTVAnn"/> The primary differences between editions were the inclusion of an additional short (0.6m) cable suitable for [[VR backpack]] PCs and an easy-to-clean [[pleather]] face cushion with the Professional Edition, versus a washable fabric cushion on the Consumer version.<ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/><ref name="YouTube_Exigeous_Review"/><ref name="MoorInsights_Article"/><ref name="Develop3D_Review"/> Initial demand exceeded supply, and HP briefly paused shipments to address reports of minor panel uniformity issues in early batches.<ref name="RTVStock"/> The Reverb G1 was ultimately succeeded by the [[HP Reverb G2]] in late 2020, which built upon the G1's strengths while addressing key criticisms.<ref name="VRARWiki_G2"/><ref name="JAMK_Thesis_VR"/><ref name="VROne_G2_Review"/> | |||
== Hardware == | |||
=== Display and Optics === | |||
The defining feature of the Reverb G1 was its state-of-the-art display system. It employed dual 2.89-inch [[LCD]] panels featuring Pulse Backlight technology, each boasting a native resolution of 2160 x 2160 pixels.<ref name="QS"/> This resulted in a combined resolution of 4320 x 2160, delivering approximately 9.3 million pixels—nearly double the pixel count of contemporary headsets like the [[HTC Vive Pro]] (1440 x 1600 per eye).<ref name="PCWorld"/> The panels utilized an [[RGB stripe]] subpixel arrangement, enhancing clarity and further reducing the [[screen door effect]] (SDE), making text particularly sharp.<ref name="HPPR"/><ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/> The calculated [[pixel density]] was approximately 1057 PPI.<ref name="RTVAnn"/> The displays operated at a native [[refresh rate]] of 90 Hz, with an optional 60 Hz mode for less powerful systems.<ref name="QS"/><ref name="BoxThisLap_G1"/><ref name="YouTube_Exigeous_Review"/> | |||
[[Fresnel lenses]] (specifically Fresnel-Aspherical) were used for the optics.<ref name="QS"/><ref name="TechRadar_Review"/> HP advertised a [[field of view]] (FoV) of approximately 114 degrees diagonally.<ref name="QS"/><ref name="AmazonUK_G1_Pro"/> However, independent measurements often reported a lower effective horizontal FoV, typically around 98 degrees.<ref name="RTVRev"/><ref name="RTVG2"/> A notable drawback was the lack of hardware [[IPD]] (interpupillary distance) adjustment. The lenses were fixed at approximately 63mm, with only software adjustment available to compensate within a range of 55-71mm.<ref name="QS"/><ref name="YouTube_Exigeous_Review"/> | |||
The | === Tracking === | ||
The Reverb G1 utilized the standard [[Windows Mixed Reality]] [[inside-out tracking]] architecture.<ref name="QS"/><ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/><ref name="GamersByNight_Tracking"/> This system relies on two front-facing monochrome cameras on the headset combined with data from a 9-axis [[IMU]] (incorporating a gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer) to determine the headset's position and orientation in 3D space with [[6DoF]] (Six Degrees of Freedom).<ref name="QS"/><ref name="BTR_G1vG2vPro"/> This eliminated the need for external sensors or base stations, simplifying setup.<ref name="PCWorld"/> The same headset cameras tracked the included motion controllers.<ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/> | |||
While convenient, the two-camera setup had inherent limitations compared to systems with four cameras (like the later Reverb G2 or [[Oculus Rift S]]) or external tracking (like [[SteamVR]] base stations).<ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/><ref name="TechRadar_Review"/> The tracking volume was primarily limited to the area in front of the user, and controllers could lose tracking if held too close to the headset, behind the user's back, or moved too rapidly outside the cameras' line of sight.<ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/><ref name="GamersByNight_Tracking"/><ref name="TechRadar_Review"/> Tracking performance was generally considered sufficient for seated or standing experiences and moderate room-scale games, but could struggle with very fast or wide-reaching movements.<ref name="GamersByNight_Tracking"/><ref name="TechRadar_Review"/><ref name="YouTube_Exigeous_Review"/> Reliable tracking depended on adequate room lighting and sufficient visual features in the environment.<ref name="GamersByNight_Tracking"/> | |||
== | === Audio === | ||
The | The headset featured integrated off-ear headphones providing spatial audio, using a "floating" driver design inspired by [[Valve Corporation|Valve]]'s work on the [[Valve Index]].<ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/><ref name="Microless_G1_Pro"/><ref name="Wired"/> These speakers could be adjusted, swiveled up, or completely detached via a single screw.<ref name="Wired"/><ref name="RTVAnn"/> A standard 3.5mm audio jack allowed users to connect their preferred headphones or earbuds.<ref name="QS"/><ref name="RTVAnn"/> A dual microphone array with noise-cancelling capabilities was also built into the headset for voice input and communication.<ref name="Microless_G1_Pro"/><ref name="AmazonUS_G1_Pro"/><ref name="HPPR"/> | ||
=== Comfort and Design === | |||
The Reverb G1's physical design resembled the original [[Oculus Rift CV1]], employing a fabric strap system with adjustable velcro side straps and a top strap for fitting.<ref name="Develop3D_Review"/> It was relatively lightweight, with HP's official specification listing a starting weight of 433g (0.95 lbs) for the bare HMD,<ref name="QS"/> while many reviews reported a weight around 498g (1.1 lbs) without the cable.<ref name="AmazonUK_G1_Pro"/><ref name="AmazonUS_G1_Pro"/><ref name="Develop3D_Review"/> Comfort was generally regarded as good, suitable for extended sessions often required in professional applications.<ref name="HPPR"/> The Professional Edition included a wipeable pleather face cushion for easier cleaning in multi-user environments, compared to the Consumer Edition's washable fabric cushion.<ref name="MoorInsights_Article"/><ref name="Develop3D_Review"/> The 4-meter 2-in-1 cable connecting to the PC carried DisplayPort 1.3, USB 3.0, and power; it was sometimes criticized for being somewhat thick and heavy.<ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/><ref name="YouTube_Exigeous_Review"/><ref name="AmazonUS_G1_Pro"/> The Professional Edition also included a shorter 0.6m cable for use with backpack PCs.<ref name="QS"/> | |||
The | === Controllers === | ||
The Reverb G1 shipped with the standard [[Windows Mixed Reality motion controllers]].<ref name="BoxThisLap_G1"/><ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/> Each controller includes a thumbstick, a clickable trackpad, menu button, Windows button, grip button, and trigger.<ref name="QS"/><ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/> A key improvement over earlier WMR headsets was the integration of [[Bluetooth]] (version 4.0) directly into the headset itself for controller pairing, eliminating the need for a separate USB dongle on the PC and simplifying setup, particularly for enterprise deployments.<ref name="QS"/><ref name="HPPR"/><ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/><ref name="PCWorld"/> Despite this convenience, the WMR controllers were frequently criticized for their ergonomics compared to competitors like Oculus Touch controllers, and for their tracking limitations tied to the headset's two-camera system.<ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/><ref name="Reddit_MRTV_FOV_G1G2"/><ref name="YouTube_Exigeous_Review"/><ref name="AmazonUS_G1_Pro"/><ref name="BTR_G1vG2vPro"/><ref name="PCMag_Review"/><ref name="TechRadar_Review"/> | |||
== | == Software and Platform == | ||
The HP Reverb G1 | The HP Reverb G1 operates natively within the [[Windows Mixed Reality]] environment, requiring a PC running [[Windows 10]] (specifically the October 2018 update or newer).<ref name="QS"/><ref name="BoxThisLap_G1"/> HP recommended meeting or exceeding the "Windows Mixed Reality Ultra" PC hardware specifications for the best experience.<ref name="QS"/> The headset is officially compatible with [[SteamVR]] via the "Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR" software bridge provided by Microsoft, granting access to a vast library of VR games and applications, including demanding titles like ''[[Half-Life: Alyx]]''.<ref name="QS"/><ref name="BoxThisLap_G1"/><ref name="ServReality_Article"/><ref name="Engadget"/> Accessing content from the Oculus Store was possible through third-party compatibility layers like Revive, although controller mapping could sometimes present challenges.<ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/> | ||
Due to its extremely high resolution, the Reverb G1 was very demanding on PC hardware. Driving the displays at their native 2160x2160 per eye resolution and 90 Hz refresh rate required a powerful graphics card; recommendations typically started with an [[NVIDIA]] [[GeForce]] GTX 1080, [[NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060|RTX 2060 Super]] / [[NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070|RTX 2070]], or [[AMD]] [[Radeon RX 5700 XT|Radeon RX 5700 XT]] / [[AMD Radeon Pro|Radeon Pro WX 8200]] or better, paired with a capable CPU (like an Intel Core i7) and ample RAM (16GB recommended).<ref name="BoxThisLap_G1"/><ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/><ref name="YouTube_Exigeous_Review"/><ref name="Develop3D_Review"/><ref name="BTR_G1vG2vPro"/> | |||
== | == Reception == | ||
The Reverb G1 | The HP Reverb G1 was widely praised upon release for its groundbreaking visual clarity.<ref name="TechRadar_Review"/><ref name="AmazonUS_G1_Pro"/><ref name="PCMag_Review"/><ref name="Develop3D_Review"/> The high resolution significantly minimized the screen door effect, making text legible and fine details exceptionally sharp compared to other headsets on the market. ''Road to VR'' described it as having "the most detailed image available in a consumer HMD to date".<ref name="RTVRev"/> This made it an immediate favorite for simulation genres (flight simulators, racing simulators) and professional applications where visual fidelity was paramount.<ref name="GamersByNight_Tracking"/><ref name="YouTube_Exigeous_Review"/><ref name="MoorInsights_Article"/><ref name="Develop3D_Review"/><ref name="PCWorld"/> The lightweight design and comfortable ergonomics, including the off-ear audio solution, were also generally well-received.<ref name="HPPR"/><ref name="Wired"/> | ||
However, the headset also faced criticism. The primary drawbacks cited were the limitations of the two-camera inside-out tracking system, especially concerning the controller tracking volume and robustness during fast movements, compared to four-camera WMR headsets or external tracking systems.<ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/><ref name="TechRadar_Review"/><ref name="YouTube_Exigeous_Review"/><ref name="AmazonUS_G1_Pro"/><ref name="RTVG2"/> The bundled WMR controllers were frequently described as less ergonomic and immersive than competitors' offerings.<ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/><ref name="AmazonUS_G1_Pro"/><ref name="PCMag_Review"/> The lack of physical IPD adjustment was a significant disadvantage for users whose interpupillary distance fell outside the optimal range accommodated by software adjustments.<ref name="YouTube_Exigeous_Review"/> The thick connection cable<ref name="YouTube_Exigeous_Review"/><ref name="AmazonUS_G1_Pro"/> and the substantial PC hardware required to power the high-resolution displays were other points of concern.<ref name="YouTube_VROasis_NeedToKnow"/><ref name="YouTube_Exigeous_Review"/><ref name="Develop3D_Review"/> Initial launch difficulties involving stock shortages and minor display uniformity issues also affected early perception.<ref name="RTVStock"/> | |||
Overall, the Reverb G1 was considered a strong, albeit specialized, contender in the VR market. It excelled in applications prioritizing visual sharpness above all else but was seen as potentially compromised for action-heavy, room-scale gaming compared to headsets with more robust tracking and controller solutions.<ref name="TechRadar_Review"/><ref name="YouTube_Exigeous_Review"/><ref name="PCMag_Review"/> | |||
== Legacy == | |||
The HP Reverb G1 marked a significant step forward in display resolution for consumer and prosumer VR headsets, setting a new benchmark for visual clarity that influenced subsequent designs across the industry. Feedback gathered from G1 users directly informed the development of its successor, the [[HP Reverb G2]]. Co-developed with [[Valve Corporation|Valve]] and [[Microsoft]], the G2 aimed to retain the G1's class-leading resolution while addressing its main weaknesses by incorporating improved lenses designed by Valve, a four-camera tracking system for better coverage, redesigned ergonomics, physical IPD adjustment, and updated controllers.<ref name="RTVG2"/><ref name="VROne_G2_Review"/> | |||

The HP Reverb G1 (marketed simply as HP Reverb at launch[1]) is a Virtual Reality head-mounted display (HMD) developed and manufactured by HP Inc..[2] Announced on March 19, 2019[3] and released shortly after in April/May 2019[4], it was part of the second wave of Windows Mixed Reality (WMR) headsets.[5] The Reverb G1 gained significant attention for its high display resolution—2160 x 2160 pixels per eye—which surpassed nearly all consumer and professional headsets available at the time, including the HTC Vive Pro, offering exceptional visual clarity and significantly reducing the screen door effect.[6][7][8] It was targeted towards both professional/enterprise users (particularly in design, training, and simulation) and VR enthusiasts demanding the highest fidelity.[2][9][10][11]
History
HP unveiled the Reverb at its Reinvent Partner Forum on March 19, 2019,[3] positioning it as a successor to their first WMR device, the HP Windows Mixed Reality Headset (VR1000).[11] The Reverb aimed to meet a growing demand, especially in professional fields like architecture, engineering, healthcare, and training, for higher visual fidelity to enable clearer visualization of intricate models, text, and detailed virtual environments.[2][11][12] Pre-orders opened immediately for two versions: a Consumer Edition ($599) and a Professional Edition ($649).[3][13][6] The Professional Edition began shipping in late April 2019, with the Consumer Edition following on May 6, 2019.[4] The primary differences between editions were the inclusion of an additional short (0.6m) cable suitable for VR backpack PCs and an easy-to-clean pleather face cushion with the Professional Edition, versus a washable fabric cushion on the Consumer version.[5][10][11][12] Initial demand exceeded supply, and HP briefly paused shipments to address reports of minor panel uniformity issues in early batches.[14] The Reverb G1 was ultimately succeeded by the HP Reverb G2 in late 2020, which built upon the G1's strengths while addressing key criticisms.[15][16][17]
Hardware
Display and Optics
The defining feature of the Reverb G1 was its state-of-the-art display system. It employed dual 2.89-inch LCD panels featuring Pulse Backlight technology, each boasting a native resolution of 2160 x 2160 pixels.[2] This resulted in a combined resolution of 4320 x 2160, delivering approximately 9.3 million pixels—nearly double the pixel count of contemporary headsets like the HTC Vive Pro (1440 x 1600 per eye).[8] The panels utilized an RGB stripe subpixel arrangement, enhancing clarity and further reducing the screen door effect (SDE), making text particularly sharp.[3][5] The calculated pixel density was approximately 1057 PPI.[4] The displays operated at a native refresh rate of 90 Hz, with an optional 60 Hz mode for less powerful systems.[2][18][10]
Fresnel lenses (specifically Fresnel-Aspherical) were used for the optics.[2][6] HP advertised a field of view (FoV) of approximately 114 degrees diagonally.[2][19] However, independent measurements often reported a lower effective horizontal FoV, typically around 98 degrees.[20][21] A notable drawback was the lack of hardware IPD (interpupillary distance) adjustment. The lenses were fixed at approximately 63mm, with only software adjustment available to compensate within a range of 55-71mm.[2][10]
Tracking
The Reverb G1 utilized the standard Windows Mixed Reality inside-out tracking architecture.[2][5][9] This system relies on two front-facing monochrome cameras on the headset combined with data from a 9-axis IMU (incorporating a gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer) to determine the headset's position and orientation in 3D space with 6DoF (Six Degrees of Freedom).[2][22] This eliminated the need for external sensors or base stations, simplifying setup.[8] The same headset cameras tracked the included motion controllers.[5]
While convenient, the two-camera setup had inherent limitations compared to systems with four cameras (like the later Reverb G2 or Oculus Rift S) or external tracking (like SteamVR base stations).[5][6] The tracking volume was primarily limited to the area in front of the user, and controllers could lose tracking if held too close to the headset, behind the user's back, or moved too rapidly outside the cameras' line of sight.[5][9][6] Tracking performance was generally considered sufficient for seated or standing experiences and moderate room-scale games, but could struggle with very fast or wide-reaching movements.[9][6][10] Reliable tracking depended on adequate room lighting and sufficient visual features in the environment.[9]
Audio
The headset featured integrated off-ear headphones providing spatial audio, using a "floating" driver design inspired by Valve's work on the Valve Index.[5][23][24] These speakers could be adjusted, swiveled up, or completely detached via a single screw.[24][4] A standard 3.5mm audio jack allowed users to connect their preferred headphones or earbuds.[2][4] A dual microphone array with noise-cancelling capabilities was also built into the headset for voice input and communication.[23][25][3]
Comfort and Design
The Reverb G1's physical design resembled the original Oculus Rift CV1, employing a fabric strap system with adjustable velcro side straps and a top strap for fitting.[12] It was relatively lightweight, with HP's official specification listing a starting weight of 433g (0.95 lbs) for the bare HMD,[2] while many reviews reported a weight around 498g (1.1 lbs) without the cable.[19][25][12] Comfort was generally regarded as good, suitable for extended sessions often required in professional applications.[3] The Professional Edition included a wipeable pleather face cushion for easier cleaning in multi-user environments, compared to the Consumer Edition's washable fabric cushion.[11][12] The 4-meter 2-in-1 cable connecting to the PC carried DisplayPort 1.3, USB 3.0, and power; it was sometimes criticized for being somewhat thick and heavy.[5][10][25] The Professional Edition also included a shorter 0.6m cable for use with backpack PCs.[2]
Controllers
The Reverb G1 shipped with the standard Windows Mixed Reality motion controllers.[18][5] Each controller includes a thumbstick, a clickable trackpad, menu button, Windows button, grip button, and trigger.[2][5] A key improvement over earlier WMR headsets was the integration of Bluetooth (version 4.0) directly into the headset itself for controller pairing, eliminating the need for a separate USB dongle on the PC and simplifying setup, particularly for enterprise deployments.[2][3][5][8] Despite this convenience, the WMR controllers were frequently criticized for their ergonomics compared to competitors like Oculus Touch controllers, and for their tracking limitations tied to the headset's two-camera system.[5][26][10][25][22][7][6]
Software and Platform
The HP Reverb G1 operates natively within the Windows Mixed Reality environment, requiring a PC running Windows 10 (specifically the October 2018 update or newer).[2][18] HP recommended meeting or exceeding the "Windows Mixed Reality Ultra" PC hardware specifications for the best experience.[2] The headset is officially compatible with SteamVR via the "Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR" software bridge provided by Microsoft, granting access to a vast library of VR games and applications, including demanding titles like Half-Life: Alyx.[2][18][27][28] Accessing content from the Oculus Store was possible through third-party compatibility layers like Revive, although controller mapping could sometimes present challenges.[5]
Due to its extremely high resolution, the Reverb G1 was very demanding on PC hardware. Driving the displays at their native 2160x2160 per eye resolution and 90 Hz refresh rate required a powerful graphics card; recommendations typically started with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080, RTX 2060 Super / RTX 2070, or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT / Radeon Pro WX 8200 or better, paired with a capable CPU (like an Intel Core i7) and ample RAM (16GB recommended).[18][5][10][12][22]
Reception
The HP Reverb G1 was widely praised upon release for its groundbreaking visual clarity.[6][25][7][12] The high resolution significantly minimized the screen door effect, making text legible and fine details exceptionally sharp compared to other headsets on the market. Road to VR described it as having "the most detailed image available in a consumer HMD to date".[20] This made it an immediate favorite for simulation genres (flight simulators, racing simulators) and professional applications where visual fidelity was paramount.[9][10][11][12][8] The lightweight design and comfortable ergonomics, including the off-ear audio solution, were also generally well-received.[3][24]
However, the headset also faced criticism. The primary drawbacks cited were the limitations of the two-camera inside-out tracking system, especially concerning the controller tracking volume and robustness during fast movements, compared to four-camera WMR headsets or external tracking systems.[5][6][10][25][21] The bundled WMR controllers were frequently described as less ergonomic and immersive than competitors' offerings.[5][25][7] The lack of physical IPD adjustment was a significant disadvantage for users whose interpupillary distance fell outside the optimal range accommodated by software adjustments.[10] The thick connection cable[10][25] and the substantial PC hardware required to power the high-resolution displays were other points of concern.[5][10][12] Initial launch difficulties involving stock shortages and minor display uniformity issues also affected early perception.[14]
Overall, the Reverb G1 was considered a strong, albeit specialized, contender in the VR market. It excelled in applications prioritizing visual sharpness above all else but was seen as potentially compromised for action-heavy, room-scale gaming compared to headsets with more robust tracking and controller solutions.[6][10][7]
Legacy
The HP Reverb G1 marked a significant step forward in display resolution for consumer and prosumer VR headsets, setting a new benchmark for visual clarity that influenced subsequent designs across the industry. Feedback gathered from G1 users directly informed the development of its successor, the HP Reverb G2. Co-developed with Valve and Microsoft, the G2 aimed to retain the G1's class-leading resolution while addressing its main weaknesses by incorporating improved lenses designed by Valve, a four-camera tracking system for better coverage, redesigned ergonomics, physical IPD adjustment, and updated controllers.[21][17]
