So anybody else finally unpack the quest 2 they bought right before the price hike, make a meta account and then have your headset fail somewhere in its first update cycle and end up with a never ending pulsing blue meta logo?

EbolaIvory posted:Its probably still doing stuff. It had been like 3 hours. I tried the old 'turn it off and back on' thing and it stayed like that. Meta support says I now have to leave it running until it runs out of power, charge it while off 4 hours and then maybe it'll work?

Headset update: Yeah it's hosed and they're going to have me ship it back to them. VR was a fun experience for the ~5 minutes I used the setup menu to connect it to my wifi. It was super trippy to just have a weird fake world with some controllers in it that were actually there and able to be touched. I hope to at least double my VR time next headset! I think I also understand how that other dude got like 3 or 4 'new' headsets that all had signs of being used before. I didn't really do anything to gently caress this one up (though I might've eventually made it worse a few hours in), so I can't possibly be the only one shipping back a very gently used headset.

Manager Hoyden posted:Alright, any device that has "perform a factory reset" as part of the setup process should have its designer fired and blackballed from the industry permanently poo poo man, I broke my quest 2 by turning it on for the first time, connecting it to my wifi and then leaving it alone for 2 hours. All I'm saying is that if we're kicking people out of the industry permanently, there's going to be a queue.

Manager Hoyden posted:Dang why did I break my policy of buying any object from a company that doesn't offer phone support. Facebook support has a two business day lag time between interactions. Did you try the live chat on their website? I spent maybe 5 minutes in the queue and got to talk to people who certainly weren't pretending to have western names 24/7. As support people go, they seemed absolutely fine to me.

 So Meta Support seems to indicate that pairing the headset to my phone requires going to the internet? To my headset which hasn't even been connected to my wifi yet...

 Quest 2 shitshow continues. Guy literally tells me that there's chunks of their userbase who haven't been able to pair their headsets to anything for weeks. I wonder how many returns they've had from that.

How do I track frame rate / all that other stuff with an airlinked quest 2? Night 1 I went about 15 minutes before I started feeling queasy and had to stop. This afternoon I got maybe 5 minutes into H3VR before I had to stop because I moved wrong once and immediately had to vomit. I want to see if I'm extremely sensitive to VR motion sickness or if there's something wonky or laggy with my airlink setup that's making it worse.

StarkRavingMad posted:Go to your Oculus folder then under "/support/oculus-diagnostics" you can run the Oculus debug tool. Under that, you can enable "Performance” from the dropdown list for “Visible HUD” and then enable the "Oculus Link Detailed" one (or something like that) in the performance category. Launch a game over Airlink and look at what the graph in the upper left is doing on the HUD it overlays. It'll say something like "Encoder/Vfer/Decode" under it. Thanks for this. I checked it out and there's literally nothing wrong with the system. I'm just queasier than average.

That looks a lot thinner and lighter, which is good for comfort, but probably not good for long battery life. Fine for me since I can't do more than like 30m in VR now, but that'd be hard to replace a monitor with unless you're tethered to a charging station.

Vermillion looks neat. How does the pressure stuff work? Their site says:quote:The pressure you apply with your brush shapes the paint on the canvas. Leave a thick layer of paint with a light touch, or flatten it down with pressure But I'm waving a wand around in the sky with absolutely nothing to touch. Is pressing hard just shoving the controller deeper into where the surface of the canvas to be? How does that feel to you as someone who has used it?

Thanks to the person who recommended Vermilion. I set my wife up to get her VR Bob Ross on and she was at it until the quest ran out of battery.

How do you go about adding external windows into a VR game? Like streamers being able to read their chat or something like that? I'm playing DCS in Occulus VR mode and I'd like to be able to add a window with like a PDF viewer or maybe a youtube window so I can reference a tutorial while still wearing my face toaster.

The Eyes Have It posted:Actually this also illustrates one of my beefs in general about the index controllers. They rely so much on being "intuitive" that it's never explained or made clear how, exactly, you're supposed to actually use them in some cases. Exhibit fuckin' A at square one in Boneworks. Also, resting thumb on the touchpad feels like a 100% natural place to rest it, but that fucks up menu scrolling bigtime with no indication of what's happening and you just have to figure that out for yourself, etc. This is a huge beef for me with VR in general. I think since there's no single layout for a VR controller that most games have just gone 'Good luck, motherfucker' and avoided telling you what your controllers do at all.

I also got the BoboVR strap thing because another one of you mentioned it and it's way the gently caress better than what came with the headset. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0B3RWQZGS?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details It's $35. The 3rd party addon market for Quest headset accessories reminds me of all the bullshit Gameboy accessories that people started shoving out in the 90s.

Yep. I would 1000% rather cut ships into bits while listening to a podcast or youtube video in the background instead of anything the game calls a story. VR might be kind of  because it's a very 6DOF kind of game with no fixed frame of reference, but maybe it's slow paced enough to not be too bad.If any of you have MS's gamepass for PC, Shipbreaker is included for free.

If you've got a wifi 6 ap either in the room or a room away, Airlink is great. Airlink is also the only thing you can use if you end up wanting to try the OpenComposite runtime instead of using SteamVR (which I would recommend). Virtual Desktop is good too; you'll have to buy the app on the quest 2 store for it.

BrianRx posted:I picked up an HP Reverb 2 for 50% off and have been playing with it for a few days. So far I've tried Boneworks and Rogue Squadron's VR mode. They're fun, but I can play for about 30 minutes at a time, about five minutes less than games seem to have checkpoints so I'm usually pretty uncomfortable by the time I take the headset off. I don't really get nauseous, I think it has more to do with eye strain. My depth perception is wrecked for about ten minutes afterward and I feel like I've been focusing on the lenses of my eye glasses rather than the light coming through them. It takes time to get used to VR. 30 minutes might be too much to start with and Boneworks is especially vomit-inducing. I don't have a Reverb, but did you set the IPD distance on it correctly?

Sininu posted:Can somebody explain the appeal of AR/mixed reality? I see articles and videos all talking about it like it's the huge selling point, but I just can't see the point at all. I like the experience of VR. Actual 3D is just way cooler than flat images on a monitor. I don't like being completely sealed off from my real world environment. I'd like to be able to do 3D stuff while still being able to talk to my wife, take a drink, put my mouse down without having to hunt around for it like a blind man, etc. Now this gen of tech is probably still too bulky to be really giving me what I want, but if we can get that down to like a pair of ski goggles, I will absolutely wear that way the gently caress more than is healthy.

Zero VGS posted:I do that, mentally I think the breeze hitting me helps with motion sickness too. It definitely helps me. Motion sickness and overheating seem to compound each other. I wouldn't be surprised if the same process that concludes that the outside world is moving weird, so it's time to vomit up whatever poison we ate also considers sudden rises in body temp the same way.

How's the live action footage going to mesh with the VR? My 3D video knowledge is limited to the same very specific niche that every else's is, but those only work for rotating the POV not translating it around the room.
