They haven't announced any specs or price.  So I'm not sure if it's similar/better otherwise.  

They talked a bit about foveated rendering and navigating menus without a controller.

Wonder how much the vive pro eye will end up costing.  Cause there is Star VR that has a 210 degree field of view and an AMOLED screen with eye tracking and foveated rendering for $3200.  They are just available for companies/professionals to buy and use right now though.

The New VIVE Pro

Sounds like it's literally Vive Pro with eye tracking.

Umm what does it mean by LED tracking? It looks like a ring of lights around the lense yet that'd be experience breaking if it was visible.

I asked and this was the result:
QuoteThe LEDs are to direct Near-infrared light directed towards the center of the eyes and this light reflections is tracked by an infrared camera.
