i don't think there's no use case at all for HMD VR but for the "just let me zoom around this landscape" kinda stuff i think google cardboard was fine for that e: now that i think about it i'm pretty sure i did something like google earth vr using cardboard too but i can't find anything about it Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Apr 5, 2023 |

i have an og htc vive + a system set aside, basically solely for flying around in flight 2020 in vr (which is great if you like flight sims) also picked up half life alyx + a second satellite, and at some point will play that w/ full room vr, because by all accounts it's awesome. but yeah flight 2020 in vr, if you like flying, it's nice

i bought a pimax vr hat off a goon a few years ago and it's plenty fun for flying/space and racing sims and arcade stuff in that style and basically very little else*. technically i have room for a full sensor setup but i just have no interest in engaging with that. *the very little else is older-non vr games bodged into working with vr rendering, because while the controls are awkward, it is fun exploring these old 3d worlds in a visually immersive way

having a whole house wired for video also might pay off if you get mistakenly raided and want to make a music video using the footage of the cops stealing poo poo from you.

obviously i wouldn't want something that is autonomously recording everything all the time, but i think i would use that thing (or at least give it a chance) if i could take complete control over both its motion and the stored footage. despite how dumb the periscope camera looks it also seems it could be quite useful

Aside from HL:ALYX which everyone should try, the best VR-first game out of all the ones I play is def. PISTOL WHIP, a John Wick Rhythm Shooter, but I have read that WALKABOUT MINI GOLF is also a pro buy. Other small-dev indies: ANCIENT DUNGEON and COMPOUND are both simple but fun. There is also the underground indie hit GORILLA TAG (that I believe one of the Devs posts on SA in the Games VR thread) that leverages the 'two free controller hands' for some fun movement mechanics. Joke-but-not-really entry: after several years the efforts of the mod community have polished SKYRIM VR into the product it should have been at launch, its still a gently caress on to get it set up but its one of the only true open worlds out there in VR even now. I love dipping into it and just enjoying being there.
