I found this amusing https://twitter.com/volgaksoy/status/1372799141860970503 The fact they are still using the old demo internally. The technique itself if cool, of course.

It seems the Wraith Oblivion game is in the 7-8 hours range. Which you know, it's a highlight because so many single player VR games are more in the 3-4 hour game range. It's atmospheric/psychological horror, instead of relying in jump scares, in case you hate jump scares.

Hello VR friends! I just jumped on the VR train and man it's cool. I also got to see my Facebook account for the first time in 5 years. Man, that poo poo is foul as gently caress and I haven't missed it a bit! Now to ignore it again for (hopefully) the rest of my life. I got this thing called "Ecosphere" and watched a VR movie about elephants and you start off like 150 feet up off the plains floating and I realized instantly what I need out of virtual reality. Is there a game out there that's anything like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0Ib9SwC7EI Because frankly all I need for the rest of my life is a Superman simulator and an Aquaman simulator and I'm pretty much finished with collecting entertainment products. I see this poo poo in my dreams. Someone get on making this and quit making even loving more shoot-em-ups. Also if you are like me and just got on VR, just go immediately buy the elite strap and the silicon facial interface, they make the Quest 2 much nicer and are especially excellent when putting it on a new person for the first time. Also that Ecosphere elephant vid is a great way to introduce non-gaming people to VR IMO. >mid-40s friend who's never played games puts it on, immediately looks astounded and takes step back< >whispering< "Rob... Rob, there's an elephant right here."

EchoVR has Iron Man-style wrist thrusters for flying about, and you should definitely check out the goon-made Gorilla Tag if you want to throw yourself around a map with your hands.

I think Richie's Plank Experience also had wrist thrusters and quite a lot more space to fly around.

I haven't played it myself, but you basically want Megaton Rainfall. It's a bit tongue in cheek from the videos, but is basically "You're superman". Subnautica also supports VR, but you're far less super in that, and it is a crafting survival game. DelphiAegis fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Apr 23, 2021 |

Someone already said EchoVR but also check out Jet Island, it's an awesome platformer with a hoverboard and Iron Man thrusters and Spider-Man like grappling hooks. It's also got giant bosses you climb and fight Shadow of the Colossus style. https://youtu.be/uztlUt2MVoQ

This is a curious app, a training tool for doing presentations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMK2dXK8EyY&t=16s It's a novel idea to beat the stage fright, I guess. Upload VR has a script transcription of the past Carmack & Boz talk on Twitter https://uploadvr.com/carmack-bosworth-recording-twitter/ The Verge talks of the new Oculus avatars :no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/69175848/Avatar_Animation.0.gif){kind=avatar} quote:The new avatar editor apparently allows for a quintillion possible combinations of hair, eyes, body type, facial hair, piercings, clothing, and other features. There’s no gender toggle, nor are there a pre-baked batch of face presets. Instead, the editor lets you dive into each facial feature, down to wrinkles, nose, and makeup. It’s like a glorified character creator from an RPG

They'd have a lighthouse version to use for people on older vives, as well as something that some index owners might even prefer since some people don't like the knuckles.

They'd have a lighthouse version to use for people on older vives, as well as something that some index owners might even prefer since some people don't like the knuckles. The weight balance and power requirements. Lighthouse controllers are a fair bit smarter than inside-out controllers, because all those do is spit out light and report the gyroscope's values while a lighthouse device has to actively calculate its present location and then report that to the PC itself. That's why they all have chargeable lithium batteries instead of running off AA's. It's not a bad idea in-principle, but it'd probably wind up looking more like an Index controller and rebuilt from the ground-up just out of functionality and ergonomic requirements. And it's something they badly need to do so they can toss the goddamn Vive Wands in the bin once and for all. There's an easy market for the Lighthouse equivalent of Touch controllers, and you'd think HTC would've jumped on it ages ago. I'm kinda surprised Logitech haven't actually taken a stab at it, since they made the VR Ink stylus and love their third-party controllers. quote:“We’re at the start of a long journey,” Mike Howard, product manager for avatars at Oculus, told The Verge Anyone else hear a peal of thunder and evil cackling?

Well, yeah of course they'd have to change some things and not literally just slap sensors on the existing molds, but what i mean is they have a base to work off of with those cosmos controllers that would onyl need tracking hardware changes, and theres clearly a market considering they're still shipping off wands.

Nuts and Gum posted:holy poo poo lmao i had no idea they were still in production anywhere. Maximum laziness. I bought an elite because I got a stupid crazy deal on it (500 bucks or something out the door, warranty and tax included)and wanted to mess with a cosmos and its hilarious for 1000 bucks getting 1.0 wands and 1.0 light houses. I still say that if they put the DAS on the cosmos elite, and put 2.0 stuff with it, it would have killed. Its REALLY a nice headset but the halo sucks rear end and 1.0 wands sigh.

Custom songs are "native" so really just copy and pasta your folder back over unless you just have some super super super out of date maps pre the conversion to egg or w/e. Best bet is to just run the mod installer again tho and redownload stuff through the ingame browser dealio. :-\ EbolaIvory fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Apr 24, 2021 |

Just let us use VRChat avatars so everyone can be a bowling ball with legs or whatever. Anyone who wants to be literally themselves with a bland plastic filter is a terrifying and inhuman creature that I want nothing to do with. The only hope with these ones will be to shoot for something funny like Danny Devito or Hank Hill.

VR Chat also has the advantage that some people spend as much time designing, modeling, texturing, custom rigging their VR Chat avatars as big companies have to design an entire customization system. It's more that customizable humanoid avatars are a bare minimum benchmark feature for social VR apps. That said, I'm not a big fan of th Oculus avatars either. I think fully 3D faces is the wrong way to go at the moment.

So if you have Quest 2 and you're not seeing Airlink yet: If your PC app isn't updated to v28 yet, try enabling or disabling the beta branch, this may force an update. If your headset isn't updated to v28 yet, try turning it all the way off (not just sleep mode), waiting 10 to 15 seconds, and then restarting it, and going into the device settings to see if it says an update can be downloaded. If your PC app is v28 but you're not seeing Airlink under settings>beta, try logging your account out of the PC app and back in again. It should show up then. If your headset is v28 but you're not seeing Airlink under Experimental Features, click the "reset Experimental Features" button (which should cause a headset restart), and it should appear. Doing the above got me up on and on Airlink. Just anecdotal experience from playing a few games, but my framerate feels more stable than Virtual Desktop.

My Quest just randomly disconnected itself from my PC where it was charging so I figure it just restarted itself. I'll try some stuff out myself later.

The best way to climb stuff in Boneworks, if I remember right, is to push down so you pull yourself up, then tilt the stick down so you "crouch", then physically lean forward a little so your guy's legs end up on top of what you're trying to climb. This works on ladders, too. Just...try not to fall over. Hasn't happened to me yet, though.
