Welp. Heres a full play through of DEATH from Pistol Whip. (NORMAL difficulty) You'll see more videos pop up today from a few of us folks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfheGZ3-PcE

So I've had Virtual Desktop on my Quest saying there is an update available in the updates menu for a week, but whenever I click on it it doesn't update. Is this something to do with sidequest loading on the steamvr forwarding? Will an app not update if it has been modded by sideloading?

If anyone uses Virtual Desktop, try checking out the 1.7.0 beta with sliced/foveated encoding, the video quality is amazing. It almost looks native!Chin Strap posted:So I've had Virtual Desktop on my Quest saying there is an update available in the updates menu for a week, but whenever I click on it it doesn't update. Yeah, it's a bug caused by the sideload. It can update when there's a "real" update but you'll need to install the sideloaded apk manually.

ZombyDog posted:OK so I haven't tried GTA V in VR because I didn't really want to buy VorpX, but if you do own GTA V and don't mind a bit of jank I seriously recommend giving this a shot, guy named Luke Ross released a GTA V VR mod that doesn't require VorpX ( apparently he did a VR conversion for No One Lives Forever 2 that I think I need to investigate ) and it works with the current version of the game, and is pretty basic to set up. Can you look around without your gun always facing where you look? If the answer is no, I don't consider that VR support. That's just 3d.

Very curious. I would say that Beat Saber is "hard on the arms", but I've put hours into Skyrim VR and Onward without feeling like this is a limitation.

ZombyDog posted:Apparently it's a design decision by the author. Yeah sorry that's a hard no from me. I think head-aiming is loving awful. I bought Rez on PS4 and while having it in VR was cool, the head aiming turned me off real hard. Then I got it on PC and turned on fully independent input, and now I loving love it. It feels great. That's real VR, having separate hands and eyes. If your hands and eyes are tied together... that's just 3D. (PS4VR Rez probably has an option to use move controllers too I just didn't get around to it I guess)

Sorry for being slow, but what cool stuff does Virtual Desktop let me do (other than presumably giving me a 3D desktop)? It sounds like a useful tool but I don’t know why I need it. Is it useful for Oculus  , or porn, or something else I don’t know about?

I get it GTA modding dude, a proper VR GTA5 would need to be completely reworked control-wise and that's completely unreasonable to expect. Don't pretend that look to aim isn't garbo tho.

Took me quite a while to find a frame-incrementing latency test on YouTube but I tracked one down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oFcrxVFzvo Now I can directly compare ALVR to the new-and-improved Virtual Desktop and see how they both fare. I'd just have to use my cell phone camera to get a picture of one of the VR lenses and the monitor in the background so I can see how many frames worth of spread there is. I'd be interested to see what other people get on their own setups. Wifi routers have quite a bit of variance.

That does look fun, but the fact that half the video is waving a machine around gun inside a helicopter to aim missiles kinda underscores there's much more work to be done than just making the gun point where the controller does. Regardless if the dude don't wanna he don't wanna. I hope someone else gives it a shot.

AgentF posted:Works amazingly in Vox Machinae, unless we're talking about something else.

Yeah it feels very in-universe in Vox. Your hands are controlling stuff, and your head tracks your externally mounted cannon, the same way several actual helicopters and their sims work (the Ka-50 in DCS World, for example). It would feel weird if, say, Payday 2 did that, having you control a handheld gun by looking at things.

So this was 6 hours ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGVxBpMXpzc As is the usual with Kickstarter the 8KX was delayed by many years, but apparently these claim to ship in December so we'll see. It's a lot to chew through in the video but it's cool to see the headset will have a single DP 1.4 cable, and they still seem to be doing an eye tracking module.

So cull everything but cars and the base environment? They already do that for reflection cubemaps. You do that and render at low resolution and its pretty drat cheap. Or dial it back to non perspective mirrors. They may not be "correct" in VR, but they're better than nothing. I've played racing games that had flat mirrors and they still let you know if a car is right behind you. But the real thing is that doesn't mean it can't be done, just that you need beefy hardware to do it. Buuuut the whole thing is a fan hack so
