If you're considering stepping into the world of full-body virtual reality with Omni One, you might find yourself deciding between two versions: Omni One and Omni One Core. Both offer an incredible VR experience, but the right choice for you depends on what kind of VR setup you currently have, and how streamlined you'd like your gaming experience to be.

Omni One: The All-in-One, Streamlined Experience

Omni One is designed for those who want a plug-and-play experience, where everything is optimized and ready to go from the moment you unbox it. This version of Omni One comes complete with the Omni One treadmill, a customized Pico 4E VR headset, hand controllers, and access to the Omni One game store. The games available in the Omni One store are optimized specifically for movement on the platform, ensuring a seamless, immersive experience without needing to worry about tinkering with settings.

With Omni One, you’ll enjoy a streamlined, hassle-free setup that eliminates the need for adjusting settings or compatibility issues. If you’re looking for an easy-to-use system that provides instant access to a library of games perfectly suited for the Omni One treadmill, this is your go-to option. Simply connect the system, put on the headset, and dive into a world of full-body VR without any extra setup.

Omni One is also compatible with PCVR, so if you want to expand your gaming options beyond the Omni One game store, you can connect it to your PC and play your favorite SteamVR games using the included headset or any other PC-compatible headset.

Omni One Core: For the Tinkerers and PCVR Enthusiasts

On the other hand, Omni One Core is perfect for users who already have a PCVR headset, such as an Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, or Valve Index, and a library of SteamVR games. Omni One Core comes with only the Omni One treadmill and a Bluetooth dongle for easy connection to your PC. However, it does not come with a headset or controllers, so you'll need to bring your own.

Omni One Core requires more setup to get everything running optimally. You’ll need to configure your headset and ensure that your PCVR games are compatible with the Omni One movement system through SteamVR. This might involve some extra time adjusting settings to get the best experience.

Omni One Core is ideal for those who already have a robust VR setup and want to enhance it with full-body movement using the Omni One treadmill. Just like the complete Omni One system, it offers compatibility with existing SteamVR games, but be prepared for a bit more work to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Which Should You Choose?

If you’re new to VR or want a simplified, all-in-one solution without the hassle of additional configuration, Omni One is your best bet. It provides a streamlined experience, with optimized games and everything you need out of the box, while also offering the same PC-compatibility as Omni One Core.

If you’re an experienced PCVR gamer who already owns a PCVR headset and has a SteamVR library, Omni One Core might be more your style. It offers flexibility to use your existing hardware but requires a bit more setup and configuration to get the most out of your experience.

Ultimately, it comes down to your experience level, hardware preferences, and whether you prioritize a plug-and-play experience. Whichever option you choose, you’re guaranteed an immersive experience that takes your VR gaming to the next level!
