Yet another vr thread

this is the best answer at the moment, more players in the field will drive prices down

what the fuck am i watching

I need to clean my Oculus with rubbing alcohol every 2 weeks from all the Beat Saber sweat. I sweat like crazy, I'm not even fat. I just sweat so fucking much.
I put paper towels in rubbing alcohol then carefully wipe it on the head strap and get it into the foam of the headphones. It smells like rotting garbage if I don't.

I'm just excited to use a steamvr headset with something other than the shitty broken dildo controllers. The knuckles look nice but I'd be satisfied with anything as a replacement.

Can you imagine how much this boy sweats?

I'm more excited for these than I am for a new headset.
The fact that they have an analog stick and buttons now is exciting, because I'll actually be able to play Rift exclusives with controller parity using whatever ReVive style hack comes out for the Index.

I posted this in the last thread, but it deserves posting again.

yeah same... I hope the inside-out tracking is good enough because if the headset/knuckles bundle is a decent price I'd go for it

Biggest chunk is still the gaming PC. Definitely wait for May 1st Valve Index full reveal (and save as much more as you can in the meantime).

Don't fall for the standalone meme, it's just mobile VR with slightly better tracking (but still pretty shit). Facebook shills were be here to screech about how pic related was somehow 'an accident', but really the only accident was letting it be seen. So far there is NO through-the-lens footage at all and no footage of any of the big 'AAA' Rift exclusive ports. just a handful of already very heavily stylized simple games like beat saber which STILL have notable downgrades.

so does the headsets have the same tracking WMR has if I'm too poor to afford the whole package now or do I absolutely need the little cameras to come with it

I won a PSVR in a giveaway, anybody have any game recommendations for this thing?

Good news, the Index and Knuckles use Lighthouse tracking. No inside out here.

Leaked pics show the receiver dots on the headset, and the official art brightened shows them too.

Knuckles also use Lighthouse. Unless you're talking about the finger tracking?

vr is cool and all, but is there going to be some way to get feedback? how am I supposed to feel my wife's tits rubbing my face, or her butt cheeks on my lap? and I don't think a doll is a valid peripheral, they're super heavy and awkward to pose.

I thought it was both? I assumed thats what the cameras on the front were for but maybe I'm retarded

my vr gear will look so awesome

The base stations use infrared lasers, not cameras, and it's really unlikely the cameras on the headset itself are going to be usable for inside-out tracking since the knuckles controllers show no signs of being designed for that.

If you want WMR tracking, get WMR (or Rift S).

Didn't the Vive have a camera yet still used lighthouse?

the vive camera is not for that

You know, I'm a little surprised that companies haven't tried to make VR headsets look cooler. Spice 'em up with cyberpunk or retrowave designs. It's probably for weight reasons, but still.

>If we survived the waves of Google Cardboard-based plastic phone headsets, we'll survive this.

But what if nobody sells that much and they just stop trying? If only they could reduce the price and system requirements with eye tracking and foveated rendering but not even the premium next gen headsets will include that except for the vive pro eye if Im not wrong.

you will almost surely need lighthouses. wait for May 1st for full reveal and pricing.

it is very doubtful it will officially support any kind of computer vision tracking, especially not as a highly advertised launch feature. I would bet someone will eventually hack it to work as a WMR but the whole thing is really just foolishness, lighthouse tracking is fucking magical.

God damnit I want to spend all my money on summer shit, why is valve doing this to us reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

They need to swallow their god damned pride and just make it look like the oculus touch controllers and ditch the stupid touch pad in the middle which ruins it.

are those dildoes on the desk

>Those front cameras are likely for some kind of chaperone system where you get to see the real world in stereo

I know since its proven that it'll use lighthouse thats the most accepted theory but I think they are really far apart and below your eye level, I'm hoping maybe it'll be a basic WMR type tracking?

I'm guessing haptics are some senior valve engineer's baby and they won't let go. At least it's an improvement.

i've never played with the wands. what is the touch pad even intended for?

Everything, regrettably.

The vive wand touchpad was perfect.
If they're going to switch to stick just dich the whole thing, why put a baby touchpad?

there's no problem with oversaturation of this type, it's just fierce competition and a spectrum of different budget and feature options. if they were all as fucked as facebook with pretensions to launching walled gardens, that would be a problem, but thankfully so far it's really just facebook and they are now fucking off of the PC space.

you don't think about 'oversaturation' somehow crashing the PC monitor market, because it's an absurdity. that's where HMDs are headed, fast (and even further, after that). that's the reason for the gold rush mentality.

Attached: 1553715231635.gif (200x200, 1.33M)

why does having it ruin everything?

it's the general analog input, where it works OK. it is frequently broken up into two or four large virtual buttons, and used for simple gestures. it does a decent scroll wheel emulation. It's very nearly a viable replacement for traditional analog sticks, but just barely misses it due to lack of implicit haptic feedback and return to zero. and the vive wands have a terrible defect that ruins them all eventually.

it has its uses. i'm glad they're keeping it in some form, if only for use as a non-mechanical scroll-wheel alternative. the Vive wands are shit with an inherent short lifespan, but I don't think that's an inherent problem with the concept (just the vive wands specifically), and in my experience scroll wheels are about as bad if not worse.

no one is ever calling you to anything cuck

virtamate pisses me off. their demos are straight up trolling, six gigs and it's locked to literally short SFM loops. and the only way to get access is with a monthly subscription. FUCK EVER PAYING ANY SUBSCRIPTION FOR VIDYA.

Nobody has said anything about beat saber having notable downgrades wtf are you talking about?

it's one of the few games they've let video footage out for. go look up a side by side yourself, faggot. you can tell which one is the shitty mobile port without any label, I assure you.

Quest games will never have good lighting or physics. I am really eager to see what kind of mess Vacation Simulator is, or if they've just designed it around shitty hardware from the outset (which would make sense since it was all developed under google).

you know you could pay 2 bucks and have the current version forever, able to load community made scenes. only keep the subscription if you want to get updates

Can you abuse them? Like punch them and kick them?

I suppose, but someone would have to animate a reaction and add sounds. it has tools for adding keyframed motions

Organ Quarter is OK. Not really all that scary, and very easy, but it captures the feel of old-school survival horror (ie. Silent Hill and Resident Evil) pretty well.

Blood Trail is a very recently released (to VERY early access) horror-shooter that's getting a lot of buzz. Haven't played it myself yet but it seems to have a stable and committed team and gonna probably turn into something great eventually, based on what's there so far.

Duck Season is IMO a pristine, near-perfect interactive narrative experience. But I can also see how it might be a love-it-or-hate-it thing. Go in as blind as you can if you do decide to, with fairly low expectation for total play-time, and take your time with it.

The Cubicle and free and worth experiencing (BLIND!).

>have the current version forever
By which you mean download once. Digital goods without right to reacquire are all, as far as I've ever seen, almost worse than straightforward subscriptions. Certainly just as total bullshit. I haven't pirated anything in years but this shit is making me consider it. This isn't how crowdfunding e-begging shit should work. Also fuck giving patreon any money.

Rift S is genuinely shit in its own right, user. It's really, genuinely not just memes and console warrior shit. Quest has the fact of being wireless going for it (if absolutely nothing else), but Rift S really has nothing. The only thing even possibly positively setting it apart from other WMRs would be moderately improved controller tracking envelope. And in terms of downsides, fixed IPD (for context, even has a fucking adjustable IPD - it is a BASIC, FUNDAMENTAL feature) and a significantly lower resolution than other WMRs, and its price isn't even really competitive.

Even if you don't go for the Index, definitely spare yourself that bullshit and consider an Odyssey+ or Reverb or even maybe one of the newer HTCs (if there's more details or release for those, by that time). Odyssey+ at the frequent $300 sale price is looking to probably remain the best budget choice for a while (assuming Valve doesn't really BTFO of everybody with some stupidly low price).

So what price are we thinking for Index? I will sell my oculus and pick the index up in a heartbeat because FUCK the wiring situation with it. The earphones on it look amazing

Down syndrome David Schwimmer.

I got mine yesterday.

It's buggy as shit, pain in the ass to get working correctly. Have to fuck around with it constantly meanwhile my Vive was just "hit play, it works."

When you do get it working, the resolution and FoV are really great. The SDE is nearly gone (have to look really hard for it.)

The brightness of the screens sucks (less than half the lumens of the vive) and the colors are definitely not great compared to Vive (LCD vs OLED.) I really do miss the colors and deep blacks.

If they fix the buggy software it's a pretty cool headset though.

It literally just works. If the Index wasn't months away from launch, I'd consider getting this, because a completely untethered VR set with hand controllers sounds awesome. It'll be extremely limited in terms of processing power, but devs will be able to standardize around it like a console.

Wont finger tracking and wireless be a lot more demanding though?

Wireless additions fall on the additional devices that'll likely handle all the added processing.
Finger tracking will not add much, provided you don't mean the whole "track fingers with camera", which is not a confirmed feature for the Index.

What do you think of a system that uses a exoskeleton-ish frame, vibration motors and texture surfaces to provide feedback from the VR world?
The frame could act as a input device too.

That's great but it would cost an absolute fucking fortune. Something that gives items weight / resistance would take immersion to the next level though.

>Make hundreds of models for your kick ass futuristic city
>turn 90% of them into a black mesh.
For what purpose

Yeah the frame should be able to provide feedback of weight (pushes on your fingers and hampers your arm movements for example) and resistance (simply stopping whatever part of your body making contact with the virtual surface).
The motors will provide feedback of impact (when making contact with a surface for example).
