index requires basestations. If you're doing minimal movement you could just set a single base station on a desk and it'll still work though, don't have to mount it. You could also consider the hp reverb g2, which doesn't require basestations and does have a slightly higher resolution screen than index. However, I have both and while the g2 is clearer in the center 30deg, it's annoyingly blurry off-center, more so than the index, which hurts a lot for virtual desktop. So I make do with the index's lower resolution, g2 is strictly a backup if/when the index dies. g2 is otherwise about identical to the index as far as the headset. identical audio and mic and headstrap. its gasket fits my face a lot better than the index too in terms of lightgap, and it's slightly lighter. but I still prefer index overall.
