I feel like this is actually one of the best uses of perspective that I have seen in VR. Seeing really big buildings and structures is impressive, but the more dynamic nature of the scale change first chapter is really impressive. It is just too bad the level of interaction is not on par with the art and story direction.

That's odd because the Steam survey results say 0.46% have VR headsets and based on the recent numbers of 90 million active users, that'd put the numbers closer to half of that. I guess Steam could be lying about the survey results and this chart could somehow have the real numbers, but I doubt that.

This seems to make the survey pointless. I don't keep my headset plugged in unless I am using it. The survey won't come up if I am in VR. I would have to intentionally plug it in just for the survey if I wanted it to count.

I'm trying it is just a majority of shit is night shift and I am trying to get something closer near my field so my college is not useless.

Nope. I prefer the headset from Oculus or Valve.

Good to know I will never add to this blight

Fuck vr

Those are 2560x1440 per eye. The 8K versions are 4K per eye.

Get a Vive, get a Vive Pro, or wait for Index? I'm not interest in Oculus, but should I be?

Index all the way.

index, you dumb cuckold

Index.

That's what I was leaning toward, but since they're backordered till like October, I dunno how long I can stay patient.

It will pay off being patient.

Keep the faith, user. It'll be worth it. Although for $700 you could get a Vive with a wireless adapter if you can't wait.

Mine's backordered till the end of August. I'd trade places with you bc I only reserved one for the hell of it but then I got a Rift and Quest for my birthday so I have no need for it now.

I do have a question about the Index, though. It requires DisplayPort. My graphics card only has one DisplayPort, which I use with my G-Sync monitor. How will I be able to use the Index and still be able to use my monitor, without swapping them each time I want to use them?

If the Index is all it's cracked up to be then buying a Vive Pro simply makes no sense at all. The Pro is even more expensive IIRC but also worse in pretty much every way compared to Index. Regular Vive can be an option if you want to pay less. Instead of a regular Vive I'd recommend a Rift though, because of the superior controllers, but the Rift is discontinued so you may not be able to get one. I would not buy a Rift S at all.

Use an adapter.

I used to have trouble running some of the maps on my 390. That's impressive they got it working on the quest.

Do you have HDMI 2.0 ports? Perhaps an adapter might work if you do, I'm not familiar enough with how VR headset drivers work to know if an adapter would interfere or not. They don't just pop up as a monitor though, so there might be some special requirements. If you don't even have HDMI 2.0 you're possibly fucked since I don't think older ports support the kind of bandwidth an Index would require to reach its high refresh rate.

What graphics card do you even have that's missing DP in 2019? Mine has like 3 of them.

not when you sell porn.

How are legs tracked? It can't be all interpolation

Trackers.
You just get 2 trackers and stick them on your shoes and get another one for your waist.

you can use those vive pucks to track additional ik points as well as use xbox kinect cameras

with trackers. You can basically get near full body tracking with two controllers, three trackers and a headset.

I remember reading that in 2010. Hopefully VR doesn't go the way 3DTVs went. (But it probably will)

It's not meant to be impressive. It's just shows that VR has stable growth and now has a substantial user base.

I think Elvis died of timetraveling vr disorder.

Wait but 3DTV also sold over 1million according to 1 million really isn't a substantial user base considering 3DTVs are dead

Why not?

It's getting big enough that VR support and development is going to be picked up by major studios. Right now it's at a crucial point that may decide how it gets adopted by the industry (Index and Quest target very different games and users).

Because it's going to get adopted with the next few years. The proof of concept is ready. The fundamentals are there. The consumer base is there.

Are you selling VR stocks or something and trying to get investors to buy from you? Sounds like you are...

This is Orbus right? Really glad to hear the launch of Reborn went well. Not sure if I want to get back into the game but the devs are really cool guys and the community was really nice when I did play it.

Wut VR stocks. The answer is no. I just play VR games and ick of the cancerous "VR is a meme" posting in every vr thread where I try and talk about these games.

I just tried my friend's Vive the other day with a bunch of VR games we pirated. Not gonna lie, had fun. Still has a way to go but I can see the appeal now.

The thing about memes is, that they come true in this time line

Valve Index; yay or nay?

They actually are all on Steam right now, any Jap with the right mind knows to also sell to westerners because most Japs are still using Windows XP unironically.

Damn, guess I just have to keep digging. Are there at least torrents for most?

Forest VR's pretty sick streamable.com/d2s81

>torrenting VR games
Dick move, never talk to me ever again.

3DTVs "sold" because there was a period where every higher-end TV with good image quality also had some 3D shit anyway. You bought a good TV and it often had 3D capability as well, but practically nobody bought a TV for the 3D shit in particular. This is obviously different for VR headsets, which people buy because they want VR.

Try before you buy, fag. I already spent money on the VR, I can't go blowing $60 on every game to see if it's any good.

3D was tacked on to TVs if you liked it or not. It's not even comparable. If someone buys a VR headset then that means they want VR.

It was nice being able to play it with non-VR friends so I could show off. I know it isn't simple to do, but I wish more games would allow mixed multiplayer.

>some fag in 2010: Hmm should I buy this expensive TV that has a 3DTV feature that I won't use and pay the 3DTV tax or should I buy similar quality TV that does not have a 3DTV feature and thus cost less? THE EXPENSIVE TV WITH THE 3DTV FEATURE THAT I WON'T USE IT IS THEN!
That doesn't make sense now does it? This just proves that VR is a meme gimmick fad that is already following the path that 3DTV has led.

Nothing terrible happens in the first chapter. The preview for the second chapter doesn't give any context, but it seems to be leaning towards being mean. You can play it for free, so it can't hurt to try if you have any interest at all especially if you have VR. I would personally prefer more bullying than what has been delivered so far.

chicken and egg. Really what's going to drive VR is porn. Big limitation now is hardware and cost. Next gen consoles will be capable of real VR (not meme-tier psvr) and all the big electronics manufacturers have some form of VR currently or planned. More people using - devs focusing on it.

What's a decently affordable VR just to play these anime games

Samsung Odyssey

YMMV but I got mine for $100 by buying a broken one. Samsung's RMA process is pretty easy and they didn't need proof of purchase. I've heard they can fuck up if you have an Odyssey+ and they'll just send you a normal one though.

I played this on DK2 with mouse and keyboard, and it was the most amazing thing ever.
IDK what the fuck are Valve thinking by not porting this to modern headsets, those lazy fuckers.

Well they are supposedly working on a Half Life VR game. There's already a mod team adapting HL2 but they're basically Black Mesa tier slow.

You could use riftcat.

>Well they are supposedly working on a Half Life VR game
This is purely a rumor with no info backing it up.

Valve themselves have said they're working on three full VR games with one of them releasing by the end of this year and all of the Source 2 leaks have codes indicating hlvr assets. What more do you need?

When you say "of the video", I take it you mean where the video came from and not what game it came from since that would not need any extra clarification and is obviously in the file name. It was recorded and posted by user for the first time in the VR thread that died just before this.

A guardian system like oculus guardian is configured before playing the game. As for them running into each other that's supposed to be the shared space tech that is likely similar to guardian except instead of mapping an environment it maps a real life body to a player model.

Immersion ruined

I did indeed mean the name of the game that the video originated from, but with your helpful tip, it looks like I have found it. I'll be off to induge my fetishes now, thank you sir.

I get the shared space stuff

But the actual playable space confuses the hell out of me. Do the devs just map out every possible room configuration? Is the space chopped up into set pieces and stitched together with the AR cameras?

lol

>But the actual playable space confuses the hell out of me. Do the devs just map out every possible room configuration? Is the space chopped up into set pieces and stitched together with the AR cameras?
This is actually much simpler than shared space & is fully available for major headsets. Basically you trace boundaries across your play area with your VR controller/Headset Camera establishing the safe area of play. Once you are in game any time you are very close to a boundary you see a translucent wall warning you so you dont run into it. It works really well and if your play area doesnt change you only have to set up once.

Theoretically you could have a system that comes up with rooms on the fly but nobody has done that yet and it would look shitty.
Free-roaming VR is really stupid, dangerous and a conceptual dead end.

VRchads are by necessity healthier than sedentary poorfags, even the VRchat faggots (sucking virtual dick burns a ton of calories)
Also because VR can get uncomfortable and controllers eventually run out of battery it forces you to take breaks.

Thinking of trying to eBay my rift and extra sensor to fund a Rift S. They still go for around $250 or more. Is the inside out tracking and upgraded resolution substantial enough to justify it? My biggest gripe is having a bitch of a time aiming with iron sights in pavlov/H3 with the shit res on the Rift.

Might not be a good idea, I did the same and my rift s is in the mail right now, but I just stumbled upon this terrifying video.
youtube.com/watch?v=QBArBlgTKbI

I've also heard this too, so your primary/trigger hand doesn't get picked up by the sensors easily? Seems like that's a massive design flub considering shooters are one of the most prominent genres in VR.

Attached: Sneg.webm (1280x720, 2.86M)

I dont think its worth it if you have an OG rift, the inside out tracking will make it harder to aim in shooters when the controllers are near the headset.

millions of people owned their own home personal computers in the 1980s as well but they were still piles of heaping trash technology in their infancy

Two problems: Primary hand will lose tracking if you hold it too close to your head because cameras can't read shit that close
Secondary hand will lose tracking if it's occluded by the primary hand which can happen with both pistols and rifles
You can work around it by being painfully aware of your hand placement at all time, up to you whether you want that headache

Alright, VR owners: How quickly does the novelty ware off?

Inside out is cheap and easy,* Facebook was well aware of the compromises since WMR has put up with it for a year
They want you to forget CV1 and Constellation exist asap

*requires very well lit room with consistent lighting and visual landmarks, no reflective surfaces

Jesus christ Facebook was the worst thing to happen to VR, I don't care if 500 million people buy that shitty walled garden phone with a mid range 2017 processor, I'd rather VR die than fall into their grubby paws.
Things could have been so great.

Standard model 100%. The pro model is mostly for professional/training use. Its price is also JUST FOR THE HEADSET, so you will need to find controllers and the base stations separately.
Consider buying the vive new so you can get the warranty, since the warranty doesn't transfer to buyers of a used system. Sensors on the outside of the headset can easily get fucked if you don't store it in a safe place or take care of it, so it's generally worth having just in case.
If you can find a used kit for under $350 though, fuck the warranty.

Sony seems most likely, but it depends on what their plans are for PSVR on PS5.

I'd legitimately rather have the headset over the controllers, if my rig could run it. Higher resolution, and more importantly a higher framerate, is worth far more to me than less clunky throwing and a fucking thumbstick.

What I really wish is that SteamVR was more open, and that we actually had some devs. I feel like it'd be pretty fucking trivial to buy 2 cheap arduinos, drill some holes in my Vive wands and put in some more buttons and an analog stick, and "upgrade" to Index spec for 20 dollars.

It actually wasn't a terrible game

Blood and Truth literally blows everything on PC out of the water.

The reality is that Sony is the only company actually investing in what will sell VR, video games. Valve is too dumb to do so, and OR can't afford anything but indie garbage.

PSVR might be absolute garbage in terms of hardware, but in terms of software it's the best choice.

this should have a normal WMR headset like lenovo or asus on it too, same with samsung

give Blood & Truth a try

Steamvr stuff is already pretty open compared to industry standards
I see what you want to do, but tinkering isn't really what's gonna attract people into vr.
It's already very niche.
This is why Facebook is doing stuff like the quest, and although it's a shitty closed device with underpowered hardware, this seems to be a working strategy for Oculus

this is a thread all about how steam has only just reached 1 million users in VR after nearly 3 years out

What's the downside of the Reverb? Seems good for the price

I didn't even realize these headsets had mics in them, those poor souls I played online with hearing my industrial fan that I use to keep cool while playing.

You don't understand what stagnating means.

Windows MR is limited due to the lack of outside cameras to track the body. But it's supposed to be the inexpensive option either way. Unless you want to spend a lot of money for the Index then MR is a decent choice. Just do not go for Quest as it is closed down and only allows their app store.

The VR and Online Only shills always push this skewered data.
>MORE PEOPLE USING VR THAN EVER

>DIGITAL SALES ARE GONNA OVERTAKE PHYSICAL!
Won't tell you it's mostly steam, indie games, and games cut from 60 to 15 dollars. But they want you to think it's full RRP retail games, so you think "maaan, maybe I was wrong. It really is the future".

They lie through their teeth by omission.

I'm not suggesting it would, I'm just saying it would be nice to get some use out of controllers that would be perfectly serviceable with a bit of custom work, but Valve fucking HATES the idea of people creating their own control systems, so they make it as difficult as possible.

It's "open" until they break all the functionality you were using and then never fix it. Honestly, it's partially just a playerbase issue, if VR was popular maybe we'd have more devs working on stuff like adding buttons to controllers, and hacking Wii balance boards to send input signals to games that aren't coded to support WASD.

This game sucked when I bought it, but I tried it again today and saw it had new levels like the subway station and now the game is based.
>didn't know how to reload at first so I was pushing over every corpse in my path for their gun

Takes time. But I have to believe we will see wireless headsets at the 250$ price point soon enough which will easily drive the game sells. For now it's for porn, VR Waifus and simulation (driving cars, trains etc in VR).

I'd really like to get into VR, but I'm still waiting for a system that's affordable and not shit. Everyone always recommends these WMRs that come with a ton of caveats.

Yes, being unable to properly read and see shit is immersion breaking.

i wonder what a bird's ass smells like haha

shit, that's disappointing. I don't know what to choose now. I wish the index wasn't a thousand fuckin dollars

>Won't tell you it's for chat.
Technically correct. But I would say porn and simulation games as well.
>Won't tell you it's mostly steam, indie games, and games cut from 60 to 15 dollars. But they want you to think it's full RRP retail games, so you think "maaan, maybe I was wrong. It really is the future".
Digital will win out eventually only because of the tax hikes on shipping and people want their games at the exact day. The benefit to digital is the convenience and the download begins at midnight.

>Valve fucking HATES the idea of people creating their own control systems, so they make it as difficult as possible.
Absolutely not true.
partner.steamgames.com/vrlicensing
Inform yourself better, Valve is the only vr company actually caring about custom hardware.
You can easily get tracking hardware and software and make your own stuff.
Valve Index even has it's own space for custom accessories on the front.

It's poor for shooters, which are the only reason to own VR right now.

What's funny is that gen 1.5 is barely any better. There's a difference on the Vive Pro and Index, but it's nowhere near the kind of resolution you'd need.

To give an example, the Vive manages about 10 PPD. The Index is closer to 20.

60 PPD is 20/20 vision. Ideally, you want about 120 PPD, and with corrective eyewear, you can go up to 150 PPD and still notice a difference. So we're still MILES off decent resolution.

Visual novels are terrible for VR. Number one, you need 3D models, which already cost more than 2D artwork. And then, you have to plan for the viewer to take breaks every couple of hours because of eye fatigue. And then, you have to remember that READING in VR fucking sucks and feels awkward as shit.

There are some dating sims and the like that'd be perfect for it, I'd kill for something like Photo Kano in VR just because of how fun it'd be to use your head as the camera. But straight up VNs? Why?

this
devs, get to work and create a vr visual novel engine so we can have a lot of it

mom wants to join

Some dude made a visual novel engine for Honey Select, wonder how well it works in VR

I bet considering I see VR for PC and mostly the fake VR shit for mobiles all over the thrift stores. What a shitty gimmick.

Even a low budget game like virtue's last reward has 3d models and full voice acting. The eye fatigue is an issue, but newer headsets are mitigating that.
3D environments would probably be the biggest problem, though. Every scene would need to be modeled in full, 360 degrees.

youtube.com/watch?v=F3CB0jvdNb0

while limited in quantity, VR porn can't be topped

3d models are easier to work with than having to draw everything
Also just have bigger text, a bit less reading and a bit more action and there, fixed.
Vr allows a lot more interactivity so this should be the focus.
Really this has a lot of potential, reading should not be an issue at all.
For pauses, true enough, although I can do vr for hours.
But again, this is not really an issue, just save and go back like any vn.

Between the Index and Vive Pro there is no question whatsoever. Index is just objectively superior in every metric including price. The original Vive is essentially totally obsolete at this point (but for somehow still being the cheapest way into SteamVR tracking), not worth considering at all even versus non-SteamVR alternatives.

>>Even a low budget game like virtue's last reward
VLR wasn't low budget. They used 3D models because they were already 3D modelling the scenery.

Eye strain is something that won't be mitigated for years. It's fatiguing just to have a headset on your head for hours.

d models are easier to work with than having to draw everything
No, they aren't. The amount of artwork a game requires in 2D is way less.
>Also just have bigger text, a bit less reading and a bit more action and there
Bigger text doesn't solve the issue. More action means you're making an adventure game, not a VN, and obviously, having VN style cutscenes in a game isn't the end of the world.
>Really this has a lot of potential,
No, it doesn't. There's a reason the majority of VNs are still 2D.

it comes and goes, i played for ages when i first got it then stopped for a few months and now im playing every day again. it basically just becomes another way to play games, it's not better or worse than playing a normal PC game or a switch game or whatever

Pavlov is trash, I'm still waiting and praying that Valve release a MP shooter.

VR, to me, feels like a worse version of full body experiences I played in the arcade 20 years ago.

The image quality isn't as good, the controls aren't as good, the gameplay isn't as good, every single element just comes off as half-baked because there's no money and all the games are one-man projects.

Now, VR is fun, don't get me wrong. It's probably the most exciting aspect of modern gaming, simply because devs can't just rely on "epic" exposition dumps and graphics because the hardware isn't suited to it. They have to add actual gameplay, and although it's barebones the experience can be pretty compelling.

Go find a friend, go out, and play Point Blank. Then come back and tell me that VR is even on par with that with a straight face.

Thats the Quest, the Rift S has even bigger volume tracking further behind you

actual cope, you paid twice the price for some fucking cameras and a shittier screen LOL

>same shitty controllers
nope

I lost my final shred of respect for Oculus when they dropped constellation instead of improving it.
Now there's just the long wait for the Index to become available again.

What's the catch for the Odyssey+

Seems excellent for the price.

is psvr usable on PC?

Free alternative - go play Metroid Prime on dolphinVR right fucking now

atleast the WMR controllers dont break a week after release from a knee-high drop

WMR tracking and the controllers. but other than that it's better than rift S and vive

They should probably because then you have a reason to get rid of their terrible, terrible shape and much worse tracking solution than what carmack has been working on for three years.

It's got inside-out tracking and it was designed for big flat gook heads, not weasel-ass white boi heads
However it has physical IPD adjustments and zero SDE and builtin bluetooth and slightly improved WMR controllers. It's a great HMD, as long as you don't buy it for full price, is constantly on sale for $300.

I've heard dolphinVR is a fucking mess, and getting all that shit set-up doesn't sound like fun.

quest will get official wireless support eventually

Why couldn't the index have eye tracking bros?

IIRC — and bear with me, it's been nearly 30 years since I was in college — the same thing was said by many programming teachers about the World Wide Web and HTML programming...

It takes a bit of fucking around, that's true. I've been with VR since the old DK2 so I'm a little used to that. Either way, if you can get it working, it's a real blast.

What's the point? Eye tracking is only good for foveated rendering, which is a complete meme and will literally NEVER be available on PC. It's something you have to build from the ground up for.

this.
this is the future of true vr.
you cannot own it yourself because to experience it you will have to buy a ticket to a giant set. like with escape rooms.
then they make a game based on the actual environment and that means you can actually touch everything.

Valve has to give everyone else a fighting chance

I'm used to fucking around with stuff, but VR makes it a million times more obnoxious. Sometimes I really wish there was some easy "simulate VR" button so I can just test stuff on virtual hardware instead of having to boot up my Vive, turn on my controllers, and then find out I have another 20 minutes of troubleshooting to do while I constantly take my headset off.

>I can only think of one use case, therefore eye tracking is worthless
>also my one reason requires a citation

>manlytearsinthearmy.webm

It would be a lot more tolerable if VR had half the usability features it should have had two years ago
Instead it's a struggle to even use desktop view

why you want VR for non porn/censored games only???

why does the rift S cost so much compared to the quest? the only difference between them is the extra camera and the internal processing so shouldnt the S be like $100 cheaper?

Unlikely. Facebook have carmack on a tight leash these days and facebook don't give a fuck about high end VR.
Also most of the latency in ALVR comes from decoding the video, which is done in hardware. Maybe a low latency decoding chip will be added for Quest 2, but don't expect anything good for Quest 1.

SteamVR is honestly one of the worst pieces of software I've ever used.

And Revive doesn't help much, everything I've played through it has something really fucky going on with the positional updating that makes it feel like I'm drunk.

You know how a hot chick will hang around an ugly girl friend to make her look hotter?
Yeah, Oculus is done with PCVR thats why they fired everyone but Carmack and got Lenovo to make the Rift S. The Rift S exists to ease the phasing out of the CV1 as well as funnel people towards the Quest.

8hz higher screen

Think I'm gonna pull the trigger on an Odyssey+ for $300. I really just want some goddamned anime titties in my face.

it's honestly a really good deal for 300 dollars, enjoy it

even the anime is mogging on manlets now

The irony is the quest actually has less issues with aiming down sights due to all front facing cameras having overlapping FOVs

Lighthouse is the superiors product, if you have a camera setup you're second best.

>Falling for the VR meme

Too bad Valve Index are each painstakingly handcrafted by monks and will be perpetually backordered until full dive is upon us

Is it that bad? I was thinking to go with the headset+controllers as boneworks looks worth the price.

>that new Boneworks video
Those guys really would advance the entire VR market with their AI and physics work

nobody's gonna spend 4+ hours a day on VR waggling games. It's not taking over gaming, the customers literally aren't gamers.

that doesn't explain it

quest is certainly damaging VR, but it's too weak and expensive to really bring in the normies

It sounds like Index will start shipping after 14th June

Should add a look trigger that makes her pick you up and swallow you whole haha
i wish I had weird legal fetishes like that, I'd start a patreon and jew the fuck out of horny nerds

you lucky cunt
they don't even ship to my country
they ship to fucking greece where money is an urban legend

Fellow HD800 user here. I have a real issue about using them with VR, the straps combined with large driver size means you never get a seal or good placement. I've given up watching films with VR + HD800.

Vive will still blow your mind, if you have no other context, and is still relevant as being the cheapest way into SteamVR tracking. but for nearly half the price you can get the Odyssey+ which has a real strap with integrated audio and an incomparably superior display.

really at this point just aim for the Index. put in a reserve (free) and try to save over the several months you're going to have until they actually charge and ship it to you.

>zero mention of E3
We've just lost all hope huh

all quest applications run at 72fps, don't judge by a webm dummy.

>72fps
but the standard for VR games since 2016 or before has been 90fps, you serious?

Even oculus shills like Tested agree that Index is the best VR headset. It's rare and expensive, yes but it's better than everything else.

that's 18 below the recommended minimum
