Between Home and Steam, I have something like 14 games ready to try (and I only paid money for two - Onward and Job Sim). Plus some cool demos. The pack is tempting but I don't really need Kingspray and I wanna see what people think of the Climb.

it was obviously a post in jest since it implied the rift was somehow better than the vive (the greatest HMD ever sent to earth)

The Oculus version of Job Simulator has physics applied to the finger gestures supported by Oculus Touch. The devs are working on adding touch support to the steam version but no word on when that will be.

Sounds cool! I look forward to trying it out, I haven't really messed around in Job Sim since before they added doll house mode and that's something I've been meaning to try out, too

Poetic Justice posted:No, it's garbage for my use case and it's updates break things too often. I do a lot of audio production and I'll get it once SP1 comes out and it's a bit more stable with my VST's etc etc. So I take it Rec Room does require win10 though? If you get Win 10 Pro you can put off the updates indefintiely, which is what I'm doing. Works fine.

Lighthouses don't track anything. they just fire out IR light which is tracked by the sensor dimples covering the Vive HMD and controllers.

If multiple people are taking jokes about one thing being better than another thing as personal and upsetting it might time for you guys to 'log out' of your cyber visors and take a break outside for a minute.

The weird thing is you can see in some Oculus prototypes that they considered a few options like that new Vive prototype style where you could fully open your hand. Maybe they decided it wasn't easy and usable enough for more casual consumers (lol) but I think I'd prefer the ability to open my hand.

I thought you needed Windows 10 to get some of the features like ATW and ASW because of low level kernel/driver hacks that they had to bake into Windows 10 and the Nvidia / AMD drivers. Anyone going to start a friendslist thing for Rift now that we have a reason for it? My friendslist is mighty empty.

Helter Skelter posted:I would recommend watching the Designing Touch talk from OC3 this past October. I watched this a little while ago and I believe the main issues they were balancing were like "One size fits all", "Best for tracking with minimal occlusion" (shouldn't be a huge deal with lighthouse), and uh "being able to take them on and off easily so you can pick up and interact with real world objects when necessary" Also the fact that people wanted buttons, lightweight and battery life etc. A side (sperg) note: A lot of people including journalists keep talking about the prototype controller they showed at Steam Dev Days to be a Vive Prototype but it's not. The lighthouse 2.0 cubes, the lighthouse 2.0 sensors and the prototype are all Valve internal technology and not something they developed with HTC. Vive is an HTC brand and not a Valve brand. So like a better name to refer to it would be a SteamVR hand presence prototype since there's no indication that it's even going to be a real thing and or go to production via HTC or otherwise. Like the whole point of the lighthouse talk from Dev Days was that they were talking about opening up the hardware ecosystem completely aka pick your lighthouse HMD, pick your lighthouse base stations, and pick your controllers from whichever vendor you want. Mix and match tracking systems even. The only thing is that right now the lighthouse base station designs aren't license-able yet so the only way you can get them is through HTC. I get hate for this but all signs point to Valve moving away from HTC exclusivity and them releasing reference designs / manufacturing their own reference designs. AndrewP posted:Besides all the free Oculus stuff, make sure you get cool free stuff from Steam.

This has been the plan all along. People got so wrapped up in saying the Vive IS SteamVR that they didn't realize that Valve only helped HTC to get a VR system out that works with their software and lighthouse. As long as there's another headset that comes out that uses lighthouse, Valve won't care what happens to the Vive. Also, any game made for the vive that shows Vive wands is always going to show the wands unless the person specifically checks to see which headset is being used and swaps out the in game models.

There's nothing about lighthouse that makes it more occlusion-resistant than Oculus' camera-based method.
