VR Thread

As someone who has had the Vive since release. I still use it daily and I rarely play desktop games anymore. The Odyssey 2 looks mighty interesting. But with valve leaking their headset along with their knuckle controllers. If you don't have a bunch of money it might be wise to wait for valve. But I'm sure everyone here knows that valve time isn't usually fast. VR isn't a meme. I thought it was going to be another Xbox Kinect. It's not. It's the future.

I have HTC vive. Haven't tried the others.
That one is good. I'd like more like a 220fov though. When you're focused it's fine. But during calmer moments it feels like you're wearing swimming goggles again.

students do not need vr bullshit

students need books

I also have it since day 1 but got bored of it real quick, the only thing that stops me from selling it is Beat Saber.
What games are you playing everyday?
(Pls dont say vrchat)

I've been out of college for 3 years, dumb trip poster. My edu email still works.

Lol I've maybe spent a total of 2 hours on VRchat? Something that will surprise you more is that I've spent less than 1 hour on beat saber. I bought it a week ago and it's a great game I just haven't taken the time to install custom songs. My most played game is rec room with over 600 hours. I find that rec room has a good mixture of social VR and activities. It's much better when you can find a group of adults to hang out with as kids on that game can be a problem. Skyrim vr is great especially after installing a shit ton of mods. However I don't really have as much time as I want to invest into that game. But my go-to games are
Recroom
Skyrim vr
Pavlov
Google Earth VR (this is great when you're stoned)
Onward
Budget cuts
Vanishing realms
Anyland
Bigscreen beta
Dolphin VR (play GameCube/Wii games in VR)

Yes, mein thread. Where my VR ni/g/gas at?

Started with the Rift DK1 and building/scripting in a self-hosted opensim grid. Got the Gear VR for the standalone factor and motion controller, then stepped up to the Vive a few months ago and haven't looked back. Wanna dive into development for them all but I lack much direction or impetus. I just consume for now, my go to's being Sairento VR, Raw Data, and Skyrim VR.

I have a Vive, big living room with tons of open space, so roomscale VR feels great.

Sairento is amazing.

Virt-A-Mate alone has made it worth it to me.

got dk1. was fine.
got the consumer release. travel sickness.
wtf is wrong with me?

The porn can be really really good.

Gaming however I haven't found anything exceptional all around.

Any recommendations?

>that playspace
I took my bed apart and just have the mattress now, and I prop it up against the wall when it's VR time. the extra 2 square meters of playspace makes a huge difference.

I'd get it, it's a good deal. The downsides of WMR compared to rift/vive are minimal. FWIW the rift is $350 on amazon and best buy right now too though. If it drops to $300 or better, I'd lean towards the rift honestly, just because the controllers are really good.

Pavlov is basically counter strike VR. It's cheap, you can play in maps ported from CS and other games. Beat saber is extremely fun on its own too, once you get into custom songs. If you like driving sims and have a wheel, I've heard asetto corsa is good. There are some other less realistic racing games too with VR support.

Honestly bought Sairento before I even ordered the Vive and hoped my win7 box with a phenom II X4 970 and a 750ti would run it. I wasn't disappointed.

Couldnt tell you user, never got VR sickness, thought it was kinda weird. I must be a newtype or something.

I kind of want to rent a studio and just sleep on a futon for that exact reason. I can definitely live with seated VR comfortably until then.

Oculus controllers are more ergonomic compared to the Vive wands. HOWEVER, if you get the Oculus you have to plug your sensors in via USB to your computer. And they say 3 sensors is best so that means you'll more than likely have to run a USB extension around your room for the third sensor. If you get the vive it already comes with valves light house tracking. The wands aren't that bad (I've used them for two years) but valves knuckle controllers are going to be better than both the Vive wands and Oculus controllers. If you get the Oculus you won't be able to get the knuckles because it uses valves light house trackers. Which the light houses don't have to be plugged in via USB as they work off bluetooth and you only need two.

Superhot VR is the best VR game I've played so far. You will literally feel like Neo.

Yeah, there are downsides to the rift tracking setup. There are a lot of downsides to the vive as well though, mostly around HTC's shit hardware quality and support. I'm a riftcuck myself, but most of the people I've talked to on vive are on their 3rd or 4th controller replacement, and 2nd or 3rd 3-in-1 cord.

If you already have a vive, the rift isn't enough better to switch, and vice versa. But for somebody that just wants to get into VR right now, I still think that the odyssey or the rift on sale is the better experience than the vive. Once valve actually announces a firm release date for knuckles controllers, i'll start shilling for it

i have the samsung odyssey .. it's the best of the windows vr headsets. with other software you gain acess to all of oculus rift and vive software as well

however if i did not have it already i'd wait. new standard will be using usbC to connect to the video card.

For those with headsets, there's a small amount of cool VR shit that runs in a web browser you should check out
webvr.directory/
The soundboxing thing linked first is a perfectly serviceable rhythm game, and it runs at 90fps, in javascript. A bit philosophically disturbing, but hey, it's cool.

>new standard will be using usbC to connect to the video card.
VRlink-enabled headsets won't be out for a few years at least, and the only GPUs that even have the port currently are nvidia RTX cards. Now's a fine time to get into VR. there's nothing new hardware-wise that officially announced to be released anytime soon.

I love Rifts build quality and the whole software experience, but the display is really showing it's age. Odyssey+ however has one of the best displays available right now
I know there's some hassle to run Oculus games on WMRs, but it's definitely serviceable. For $300 it's a steal.

RecRoom is great but I have yet to find a decent group of adults yet. Only had VR for a week ish though. The kids make me quit pretty quickly.

Weird. I have that same chair. It's fucking awful.

I own a rift and recently bought a Odyssey+ just to check out how it compares.
>The higher resolution screen + the anti SDE tech is awesome. The picture quality is definitely better but it doesn't feel like a huge leap over the rift.
>Inside out tracking that doesn't need sensors set up is cool, but it's less accurate and loses tracking if you put your hands behind you.
>Way shittier software. The Windows Mixed Reality hub is kind of a mess and a total pain in the ass to launch steam games.
>Uncomfortable as fuck. This is subjective because I have a huge ass head, but there aren't many points of adjustability on this thing. All of the weight is basically pinched to your head.
>The controllers aren't terrible but the Rift's are better.
I ultimately decided that it wasn't worth it for the $500 I paid but if you don't have an existing headset $300 on BF is impossible to beat.
