Lemming posted:I also like the settings for moving the screen around better, VD doesn't give you as many options for positioning. VD lets you put the screen anywhere at any angle if you set it to floating. Setting it to the ceiling while lying down on the couch to watch a movie is amazing. I bound a key to reset the position to my universal remote, but I really wish they would add Vive controller support.

BossTweed posted:I played around in Destinations for a few minutes. It seems like a pretty nice setup for people to build their own little worlds for you to explore. They let you control how people move within the world you build (free teleport or teleport to little destination pads), support an easy way to have a floating information popup that can describe where you are, and you can give things animation that can be triggered by your location. I am wondering how complex the animations and triggers can be. They seem to have ported over a lot of the entity system from Source 1, including a bunch of Half-Life 2 specific entities (that probably don't work in the actual game). You probably could build quite complicated scenes, maybe even some simple interactive games.

You can reset the seated position from the settings menu in the VR overlay too.

I mean ok sure nice backgrounds, fine, but is there some use case I can't think of that's better than "take off the headset"? It's really good for watching movies while lying down on a bed/couch.

El Grillo posted:What would be really cool would be an app which just has chilled spaces to hang out in. A beach with a sunset, stuff like that. Somewhere you can sit on the ground and just chill out enjoying the view. Anyone know of anything like this, on Steam etc? Destinations would be good for that. There is not much content for it yet though, so you'd have to hope someone creates a beach for it (or make one yourself).

I'm planning to port over the skyscraper helipad of my L4D2 map, it just seems like it's going to be a lot of work porting over the assets to Source 2. I already tired making a SteamVR photosphere, but it doesn't convey the height well enough.

Lemming posted:https://github.com/Hotrian/OpenVRDesktopDisplayPortal Trip report: Totally works in elite! You can position the overlay anywhere in the world, and even make it to fade away or shrink when you're not looking directly at it. The frame rate is too low for movies though. I tried with Chrome and MPC-HC, Chrome was a slideshow, MPC worked OK for talking heads, but action scenes were still horrible. Edit: Could be that the low frame rate is something on my end.

Overlay update. For some reason shrinking down the window does wonders to the FPS. It's also possible to run multiple overlays at once, by running multiple instances of the program. Now you too can watch top tier animes and reading shitposts while flying your spaceship.

EdEddnEddy posted:That was something that the "V" guys with their overlay were working on. They said that Elite has issues due to its Engine not being Unity/Unreal so its taking them a bit longer to get it working. Probably the same reason it isn't working for Rift in Elite either which is unfortunate. The issue is probably just that Elite tries to use the Oculus runtime over SteamVR when it detects a Rift. Ironically the Revive injector might help it run on the rift. Rectus fucked around with this message at 10:17 on Jul 23, 2016 |

Cojawfee posted:Subnautica is early access and has VR support. There's some survival but you can choose how much survival down to just having no resources and you can just build whatever you want and look at things. It's early access and hasn't gone through the performance optimization yet, so framerates won't be the best. Even without official Vive support, Subnautica works really well through ReVive. Aside for occasional framerate lag it's a really good VR game.

Are there any games out there using grappling hooks for movement? I made a barnacle grapple in Destinations and found it really fun to use, but I haven't seen any actual games that take advantage of grappling.

It's possible to use the VorpX injector to get it partially working, it's far from perfect and takes a lot of tinkering though.

TomR posted:Are the Vive wands or Touch controllers tracked well enough to act as joystick inputs if you attach them to the end of a stick that has the other end anchored like a joystick? The base would have to be mounted in place so it can't move so the zero point would be accurate, but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work. I don't see why they wouldn't be. You could probably even use them as free six axis controllers by setting a reference point when you pull the trigger, and measuring how much you've moved it.

Senor Tron posted:The tracking should be fine, although if you are going to the effort of building a physical mechanism to hold them you may as well just use an actual joystick. With the motion controller you'd get positional tracking for free tho. A joystick driver that also renders an overlay stick would be dope.

Tom Guycot posted:That game looks amazing and I can't wait to play it, but as well as that mode of locomotion looks to work, its pretty niche. It's hard to see 'zero g confined spaces with a lot to grab onto' as a big genre. Even without zero g, grabbing onto things is really intuitive and easy to implement. You get some really fine control on how you move relative to the environment. I even managed to sort of implement by accident in Destinations with the barnacle grapple. It could be useful as a secondary locomotion mode. Imagine having it in something like Onward, where you have to peek and shoot a lot around corners and over cover, but you can't lean on it in reality. You could grab onto the cover and pull yourself just to the right position without having to crouch or stand in a tedious position.

The SteamVR beta just got updated with support for asynchronous reprojection. It only works for Nvidia cards for the moment though. I just tested with Elite, and it went from a jerkfest insides stations to buttery smooth even with supersampling on.

Vince MechMahon posted:Do any videos even do depth? A lot of 180/360 videos have depth. Positional tracking won't work with any 180/360 videos though, since it always projects you at the center of the video sphere. If you watch something like a 3D blu ray (not sure if that's possible with the PSVR yet) on a virtual screen though, it gets a lot less sickening with positional tracking on.

I wonder if it would be viable to find a comfortable helmet, and mount the HMD on it on a hinge. You would probably have to remove the hood from it to get it close enough, but ti wouldn't need to be pressed up to your face anymore, so it would be possibly be a lot more comfortable.

Tweak posted:It's great! only wish the run was longer or that I could go faster (though maybe I just needed to push more). Escaping it took me a second to figure out though since the menu freaks out if you're moving. I had to steady myself with one pole while I picked from the destination's menu with the other. Thanks. I think I set up the drag to be a bit high, so the speed caps out pretty fast. I probably could set it up to stop or pause the speed while you have the menu up.

Climbey style grabbing locomotion is really awesome and I wish more games implemented it. Grabbing the world with the motion controller and moving yourself around feels perfectly natural and doesn't seem to cause motion sickness. It also seems really easy to add to a game.
