Neddy Seagoon posted:It fixed a flaw with the original Quest where it was very front-heavy. Tying a battery to the back provided a counterweight. Ah, with the Quest 2 Elite strap it's pretty well balanced. I don't know that a counterweight is necessary but it'll probably mostly depend on head shape and fit. The cloth strap was just vaguely a bad fit all around. Not sure a counterweight would help all that much, it's probably better without any additional weight at all. Turin Turambar posted:Oculus PC app, PTC v23 changelog Oh nice! I'll have to mess around with this later. I wonder if a higher bitrate would mean 90Hz doesn't crash link anymore? Probably not, but that would be nice.

Did the Gear VR lens mod to my vive pro last night. The difference is actually kind of nuts. The sweet spot is actually massive, I can move my eyes more naturally - letting my gaze wander around the environment without rotating my neck as much. Why do the engineers behind these headsets go with fresnel lenses? The glare is nuts and the sweet spot is smaller.

And it fits so well design and color wise... it makes me think this was going to be the real strap, it was all designed a single headset, and in the months previous to the release they decided to split the headset in two and put the cheaper cloth strap.

Yep that's the one. Interested to hear more opinions on it if/when you get a chance to check it out. It's not as visually appealing as Alyx but I'd take it over Boneworks any day because you get to play the game instead of having to fight against the physics system. Octavius, if you get viveport, you, too, can play Vertigo Remasteted. Dunno anything about the service besides "the game is on it."

Penpal posted:Did the Gear VR lens mod to my vive pro last night. The Gear VR vive lens mod... now theres a name I haven't heard in a long time... In all seriousness, Fresnel lenses don't by their nature have bad sweet spots. If you look at something newer an index, quest 2, rift s, they use fresnel lenses but have a sweet spot that lets you look all across the field of view with your eyes. Its just the vive really that had pretty meh lenses in them since the first one launched, hence why the gear VR lens mod even became a thing, but never existed on any other headsets.

NRVNQSR posted:"Not as visually appealing as Alyx" and "not as much of a fight to control as Boneworks" describes something like 98% of VR games. In the context of a single player game with a story, I can't agree. Most VR games seem to be wave-based shovelware or 2D games with tacked-on VR support. DLC no longer on sale and the complete edition is up to $26.41, but still worth it. Anyone who refunds it and hates it is free to bash me here about how I have awful taste in games.

how bad of an idea would a "standalone" x86 headset that iterates on the whole VR backpack idea be essentially, instead of everything being inside the HMD itself, you'd have a HMD tethered to a "backpack" that's basically a non-opening, shielded laptop with arm straps it seems workable enough with similar things that people jury-rig with their own laptops and backpacks, so something purpose-built along similar lines would also probably do OK.

I just looked and drat, Viveport's game selection has gotten a lot better. Xbox gamepass has taught me these game subscriptions work real well for me, maybe I'll do this for a while and see how it goes.

Test #1 Obviously it makes the wheel to be harder to use. Although, I will see that with the weight on the back, I barely need to tighten it. Also check my wardrobe, I guess.

Why would you do x86? All the VR software you care about was written in the last 5 years and runs on standard engines. You don’t have to worry about crufty enterpriseware for which no working compiler exists, calling out to amber-preserved Win16 thunks. ARM has an enormous advantage for battery-powered applications, even if you don’t get to use Apple’s black magic Silicon. Years before the Quest when we talked to AMD’s semi-custom group about VR “consoles”, it was assumed that for anything actually portable we’d do ARM instead. I don’t think even AMD would have argued about it in an energetic way.

Anyone have a list of good seated , controller based games? Starting to realize I’d get a lot more use out of my hand if I was able to play some more traditional style games. I’m looking at Tetris Effect, House of the Dying Sun, maybe Thumper? That sort of thing. Or is there a decent program to play regular games on a big ol vr screen?

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Moss Star Wars Squadrons SteamVR has a theater mode that will project 2D games onto a virtual screen, like you're playing in a movie theater. I've not messed with it much, but it seems functional.

Zaphod42 posted:Would not recommend as a VR game I don't think SW Squadrons is something that people should be stating is an automatic no buy when there are lots of us who have had a great time in VR with it. It's good to warn people that you could potentially run into issues, but imo it's on my short list of favorite VR games. If it runs like poo poo on your computer you can always just refund it on Steam, but many of us have had minimal problems and the game itself is really cool in VR.

I posted about my Quest 2 having a bit of fan noise last week and last night I got a System Error warning about the fan. Welp Taking it back to Best Buy tonight but I think this is a sneaky plan by the Zuck to force me into a 256 model since my store is apparently out of 64s. Edit: huh, apparently Best Buy has an extended return period ending on Jan 16th for purchases made starting Oct 13th (ie: Q2 launch day). Convenient! Stan Taylor posted:Anyone have a list of good seated , controller based games? I greatly enjoyed Subnautica in VR but you need a surprisingly beefy system and a handful of VR quality of life mods.

Distance is nice for sitting and cruising. Some transition scenes break my eyes, though, since I don't think they stick to 3d. Ultrawings, too, if into flight sims/Pilotwings 64.

Professor Wayne posted:I'm pretty resigned to having no privacy from companies like Facebook and Amazon. But strapping the official Facebook headset, logging into an account linked to your real name and connected to your friends and family, and then pointing 4 cameras at your hog is the least tempting thing in existence. I might be confusing you with someone else posting in this thread, but if you're worried about accuracy of hog tracking, maybe an outside-in system would work better? An alternative could be 3D printing a Oculus Touch attachment

Bloodplay it again posted:Wanted to talk a bit about Vertigo Remastered because it recently had some DLC and the only other mentions of it in this thread are Happyimp's recommendation and someone else asking about the game with no real response. As of this post, the DLC is on sale for another ~8.5 hours but it is cheaper to get the game + soundtrack + DLC than it is to get the game + DLC. The base game is on sale until October 30. Also included in Viveport Infinity and if you happened to have bought the original Veritgo, I think it's free for all owners on Steam. wtf I can't believe Steam never showed me this game before based off my other VR games. Thanks for the rec, I will check this out! It also looks like there's a Vertigo 2 out sometime this year, i'm downloading the demo now...

Atheist Sunglasses posted:Do you live in Germany? It says six weeks to actually make it (excluding shipping times) plus 30 dollars shipping to US... I can't speak to the US side of things but it took about 5 weeks for me to get mine in Australia. Most of that was in getting the lenses made rather than the shipping so I can't imagine it being overly different. They are super easy to fit and are hugely better than trying to wear glasses while using the headset though so I'd 100% recommend getting a set.

I've ordered from them three times (rift lenses for my spouse, and Index lenses for both of us) and each time it took only a week or two. It could potentially take longer, I'm sure, but it's never been a month'ish for us.
