The short version
The Beyond 2 is Bigscreen's ultra-compact PC VR headset, weighing 107 grams with dual micro-OLED panels totaling 5120 by 2560, new pancake optics and a 116-degree field of view. It runs natively on SteamVR and needs external base stations, which are not included; a Beyond 2e version adds eye tracking. The small size and modular comfort system suit long sessions, but buyers must already own or budget for tracking hardware, and refresh tops out at 90 Hz.
