marumaru posted:if the next quest or whatever doesn't have PCVR support i would not be surprised at all I hope oculus gets it together then with media production because they still use steamvr and its not looking like they are trying very loving hard not to. MRC sucks. Plus openxr. So whatever.

Turin Turambar posted:What are you referring to? Where do they steamvr? So most games videos and marketing stuff is captured using steamvr copies of games, trackers, and a quest on combined playspaces using things like LIV for mixed reality. They don't have the tools internally to "do" that kind of poo poo outside of MRC at the moment and its pretty trash. Its getting better, but its still not nearly as good as doing things steamvr side. So any time you see true "mixed reality" its probably LIV and a combo of steamvr poo poo. I've worked on a few sets for oculus. Its pretty hilarious. I don't doubt eventually they'll stop needing that kind of support but sooo many titles still use steamvr for that kind of thing I just don't see it happening anytime soon. At least "killing pcvr support" entirely ya know? More so with openxr hopefully becoming a standard.

You can buy a printer, pla, and tubes to put it together for about what it costs to ship one with any extra hopups anyways. I only have a couple stocks because companies gave them to me. My printed ones worked "Just as good" in most cases anyways. With all that said, They are well made stocks. Its just insane the cost now. They used to be 130-150 all hopped up. And that was like, premium pricing which made sense. But now? lol no.

At least, thats how it keeps getting presented to us when we work with viveport. Really is a nice team.

Inner Light posted:Yep mixed reality is what streamers use (camera feed and green screen), and it seems VR advertising never uses it and instead goes the way that you describe. SCheeseman posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYfNzhLXYGc Its weird. Most indie devs and people in the scene seem to be keen on doing mixed reality. Larger devs will shove in something like LIVs SDK, use it for a shoot for 2 small things, then do the whole "real life swinging wildly" for the rest of the ad. Its wildly inconsistent. Then these same companies want influencers to play these games and then they have no way to showcase them because they didn't keep mixed reality support in any fashion. Almost every ad uses some sort of "mixed reality", its just the level of it they use and its loving sad that theres people out there like touge or splitverse who do insane poo poo but end up getting pushed to the side by random creators and or lame non vr/mr stuff. :-\ Doing VR video stuff isn't easy but damnit its not that much harder.

Or are they losing money on each Quest 2 Pretty sure they are still losing money on each device at this point. Parts still aint cheap enough to actually turn a profit on hardware. More so at 299. Id be shocked if pico was breaking even/turning a small profit at 599 even.

It's not interference, I have ample bandwidth, my AP is Wifi6, my PC has plenty of power for it, by all accounts it should be (and had been) absolutely blazing. I've reinstalled everything all up and down the chain from graphics drivers up to steamvr, every involved device has been powercycled, nothing has fixed it. Help me, wires suck. I've had routers suddenly eat poo poo and not show signs other than random devices being wacky as gently caress. Could try nuking the router.

Professor Wayne posted:I wonder how feasible it would be to make an NPC like Vader always be at least a foot taller than the player. I'd assume pretty easily in a single player thing. You could in theory auto scale it. I don't really see it being a huge problem logically. No idea specifically how on a per engine basis but that already exists in avatar tech on the user side so slapping it on an NPC and scaling in relation to the user shouldn't be too hard? Again. No idea actual code wise as I'm not a programmer these days and have zero loving clue on unity/ue/etc but logically it all makes sense.

Fracked sucks. There isn't anything really redeeming about it. How are people enjoying this thing? Its so mediocre at best. The parkour is slow. The ziplines are kinda lame. The using walls as cover to being able to grab? Why? I'll just crouch? And the once in a while its tall enough to peek you might as well just lean? Its just.. How is this not early access? Even the captions are broken. Subtitles are bolted to center floor. Neat.

The fact some of the things like the subtitles being so broken they can't be used means they didn't test poo poo and just shoved it out. I stopped playing because something about it was making me ultra sick but so many little things were broken along the way or didnt work great. It really feels like an early access title by devs who've never REALLY done VR before and had some idea for a flat game and slapped motion controls on it.

Breakfast All Day posted:The treadmills were a somewhat neat novelty for a few experiences when consumer VR was limited to seated and standing. Since roomscale became a thing, they're strictly worse. Even roomscale with teleport is much better, as you still have free movement to lean, duck, dodge, twist, and such without having to translate that into being taped to what's basically just a big joystick while awkwardly miming rollerblading. Agreed. Im firmly in the camp of "they rule for content made for them at location based places but having it at home is lololol unless you're rich and have tons of space and want that one thing literally for the one or two games it really does well for". Its like a racing sim. They are dope as poo poo but for the average VR haver? overkill and theres like 2 good sims.

If theres another thing I missed somewhere, link me plz.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:In my experience, VR YouTubers like pretty much everything. Before my Quest arrived, I was looking for gun accessories for Oculus controllers to make them feel more like guns, and every review I saw for one of those things was positive. However after using the Quest for a lil bit it became apparent that it straight up doesn't matter because the game is going to make the gun feel real, or it won't. You can't see the controllers so its pointless. However, a YouTube reviewer isn't going to say something like that, because they were given it for free and are sponsored in some way. The bias can be very real with some folks thats for sure. Almost every single VR gimmick is totally taste. Most of them work as advertised in general. Its down to the user, price point, and do they find value in it. I've had "Fun" with all kinds of the gimmick poo poo but I would never to use most of it daily.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:Everything Kiwi makes is pretty good. I would suggest just going through their catalog and just kind of making a mental note of the stuff they have, and then when you get your Quest, think about the problems you have with it and if they can be solved by one of these products. I also recommend their, I guess its called a "facial interface" but that seems silly: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B099WN4MKW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1 Most everything. IMO VRcover makes a nicer interface. The index rear plether cover thing for the index is over priced af. its 27 dollars for a single that ships in a ziplock bag. The pads for the interface on the kiwi stuff IMO are too thin, they just straight up hurt my face after 10 min. So if you're a big head, skip it imo. Controller weight things are decent. The grip things are decent. The straps are good. Just not a fan of the interface and cover stuff they make. Its overpriced and not nearly as quality as VRcover and if im going to buy a "knock off" brand thing ill do it cheaper and get the same poo poo tbh. I have heaps of kiwi stuff. They regularly send me things to review and while im generally "happy" and can say "sure its worth the money", theres absolutely better products out there a lot of the time.

chippy posted:So if anyone's interested, using AirLink on Windows 11 with a 3080, I was seeing some 'juddering' (in Alyx) but only for objects close to you, stuff further away didn't seem to be affected. It didn't really make things unplayable but it was a little jarring and annoying. I saw a couple of news article saying that it was a Windows 11 problem and there there was a fix currently in the Public Test Channel for the Oculus software. I've switched to that and it does seem to have improved it. It's still there, but now it's an occasional judder rather than a constant, regular one. I must of missed your question because I had nothing but issues with oculus and win11. Its why my main VR rig is on 10 again. With that said, My index and steamvr based headsets were fine. It was just my oculus that didn't like win11
