The Vive can do sitdown experiences as well dude, but the majority of "must have" content is roomscale.

But I still need to setup the sensors, right? Not like I can just put them up and pointing down to the space between my desk and armoire.

You only really need one if you're doing seated, but 2 will be used if you set both up. You could probably even put them on your desk. There's a different setup for seated-only that you can go through. (You might also be surprised at a few games being playable in a pretty small space)

I imagine the rift is better at dealing with mirrors. My vive still goes a bit funky if I turn towards a mirror.

The scanned space needs to be free of clutter, how well does Vive work with furniture and in general?

Playing in a slightly too small space, and as long as you're careful near the edges it's okay.

Ludicrous Gibs! posted:That seems odd, considering that Oculus is doing image processing from a USB3 video stream, while the Vive is just picking up on pulsed lasers. Unless you meant the games in general? That keeps being brought up but has been proven to be pretty much moot. How Moot? I ran a few test when I first got my Rift and was able to play games like EVE Valkyrie with my 3930K CPU locked at 1.2Ghz with the affinity set to a single core for both the game and the Oculus process'es. (one core access for the game, and another for the Oculus stuff so emulating it as if it was working on a dual core). It was perfectly playable. Same with Farlands and Henry

So I got access to the V alpha today and it's pretty neat. It's an injector that adds a web browser window into any VR game (currently only oculus games launched from the store, openVR & vive soon). Also adds a persistent clock and fps counter (you have to look way up) while a window is open, reported >90 fps the entire time and performance - outside of clipping in and out of the game's geometry - was good. I can see myself using it for looking up bits of game walkthroughs if I ever get stuck, watching tv/movies, and maybe even popping into chat clients instead of trying to peek out the bottom or taking the headset off.

Can it bring in any window or just its browser? If it uses its own browser instead of mine, I don't trust it.

Cojawfee posted:Can it bring in any window or just its browser? If it uses its own browser instead of mine, I don't trust it. It seems to only be a browser, which is a bit disappointing. It'd be neat to have the functionality of ChromeOS ported over, I have a feeling mobile apps (that is, Android applications) would translate well to a VR environment. Better than desktop apps currently do anyway. EDIT: What I really want to see though is a VR native desktop interface where applications can be properly multitasked. At the moment it's all very modal, each application essentially rendering an entire view and pushing it to the compositor where it is either hidden or layered on top of something else or whatever. What I'd like to see eventually is something closer in functionality to a window manager, but instead of windows the programs are actual 3d objects. For example, pooltable.exe doesn't throw you into another environment, instead injecting itself in your own custom environment. You could decorate your room with different programs running independently but using the same APIs. SCheeseman fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Aug 4, 2016 |

Your mileage may vary but I have my base stations about 3 feet off the ground and they work fine. No need for a link cable or anything. My neck is actually stiff. I think being so out of shape is catching up to me in Rec Room paintball. I actually got sweaty.

FormatAmerica posted:So I got access to the V alpha today and it's pretty neat. I got in as well but was waiting to comment until I got my hands on the newer build. I played with both it and the Unity overlay that was posted a week or so ago that works in SteamVR stuff. They both work for what they are designed for, V needs a bit more control over the window which the devs say is coming as well as pinning so you can go back to what you were doing while the window remains in place. The Unity overlay worked well for that, but only works in the SteamVR games and is much harder to tinker with exclusively in VR unless I am missing some part of the VR Overlay working with that. It worked really well to bring VLC and such in which I hope V will do soon as well. Right now V cannot do Netflix (or any Silverlight app yet) nor does it work in Elite yet but they say both are coming along and will work eventually. I am also meeting up with the V team at VRLA this weekend so I look forward to that. Going to network my rear end off to see if I can get my foot into the VR door like I have been wanting.

Eddy I saw you mentioned No Man's Sky in the GPU thread, I knew some stuff about the game but now I'm super pumped because I found out 65daysofstatic did their soundtrack and put it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AWX54C49pw

The game seems to hit a lot of good points with the Audio definitely being one. I do hope VR comes to it in time as being able to fly around in VR (and even some walking around, maybe add roomscale support for that?) would sure be fun. Even without, it just looks really promising so I hope they do deliver. It and Astroneer I really look forward to. There is just something about space/exploration games...

I'm not going to be the first to test it, but I'd be willing to bet that at least the original huge box could survive the full Ace Ventura treatment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOJiEgxt7RY No idea how the new smaller box would hold up, presumably the drop in size came from reducing the padding (which is admittedly overkill).

While accessories for the rift aren't technically up for sale, people have been putting in tickets to get replacements and have prices for various things. The camera costs 99 dollars, cable is 59 dollars, headphones are 45 dollars, facial interfaces are 20 dollars. No one really knows how much Oculus paid for the xbone controllers and I don't know if there has been a price listed for the remote yet. That puts the price for just the headset around 350 dollars which technically is in the ballpark everyone latched onto. Interesting that the Vive base station costs 34 dollars more than the Rift camera. Everyone was blabbering on about the camera being so expensive compared to what they thought were simple, cheap parts. Though 99 dollars for the rift camera, and vive controllers being 130 dollars each, touch is probably going to be closer to 300 dollars rather than the 200 everyone hoped for. Though the camera is definitely not that 200 dollar webcam that one guy claimed it was because they had the same cylindrical shape.

It's some proprietary jobbie whereas the vive cable is just three cables glued together.

Good to know if I decide I want to stick one in each corner of my room. And $300 was my guess for Touch as well.
