Bigscreen Beyond 2 Now Ships In 1-3 Days & 2e Has Eye-Tracked Foveated Rendering
Bigscreen Beyond 2 orders now ship within 1-3 days, and in December Beyond 2e got support for eye-tracked foveated rendering in select VR titles.
Beyond 2 and Beyond 2e were announced almost exactly a year ago, with preorders opening immediately. Originally it was set to ship in April 2025, but a PCB design flaw led to a roughly 3 month delay, with shipping finally beginning in late June.
The startup has spent the 9 months since then fulfilling the backlog of preorders, with new orders taking months and then weeks to ship. Now, Bigscreen says it has completed this phase, with new Beyond 2 shipping within days. The exact shipping time depends on which facial interface you opt for.
The fastest option, Bigscreen says, is ordering with the Halo Mount and Universal-Fit Cushion. Priced $60 higher than the Custom-Fit Cushion, this option gives you a halo strap and a cushion designed to suit anyone's face. Bigscreen says it now ships within 1-2 days, and sometimes even on the same day.
If you want the Bigscreen signature Custom-Fit Cushion instead, customized for your face based on an iPhone TrueDepth face scan you provide, that should take slightly longer, 2-3 days on average.
"In some cases due to SKU, color, accessory, or regional variability, orders may take a week to ship", the startup notes, and orders with prescription lens inserts will still take multiple weeks.
