I hang mine from a peg on the wall. Then I put a microfiber cloth over it to prevent dust from accumulating on the lenses.

So is this whole "exposing your 600 dollar toy to sunlight will break it" thing something that can be cleared up in a second generation device, or are we always doomed to hiding our VR devices from that nefarious sun?

Unless future devices come with some sort of automatic cover, you have to worry about that. Lenses will always be lenses.

It's unavoidable. Direct sunlight falling on the lenses will be transmitted to the screen in the same way that the lenses transmit the light from the screen to your eyes. But it has to be direct sunlight, just put it down with the lenses facing anything other than the window and it'll be fine.

I'm sure I'm just so much fun 'okay so just be careful when you take it off, the sun, okay just remember, the sun yeah, so wait wait just turn around before you take it off, im just going to close the curtains'

I just have my blinds closed all the time, or set it somewhere away from windows. I guess it's really just a matter of what your play area is like, but I don't feel like its that big of an issue. If your windowsill or close to it is the only place to rest your headset you may need to second guess your layout or buy a case.

Just don't leave them in direct sunlight for days, it's fine. Maybe a cover on it to keep dust out. You're way overthinking this.

And still won't. It's not like you'd want lots of light in your Vr space anyways, and are people really laying the headsets on window ledges so they can get some sunlight? Lol

It's super important. I read some horror stories of dudes leaving their HMD in direct sunlight for seconds and it just melts the display. Those lenses focus the light right on the screen and RIP.

Bhodi posted:I don't believe this any more than leaving your phone in direct sunlight melts the display. it's not a magnifying glass. The lenses are a magnifying glasses, they take a small display and spread them out across a larger area. This means when you put them in sunlight, it not only get the sun on the display but a magnified amount of the sun across a smaller area, I could totally believe that sunlight could mess up a display in a very short time.

Got my rift this week, and holy poo poo Robo Recall is everything I didn't know a VR game could be. After I stopped moving my feet and loving up the teleport orientation, this game just shines. Really want Audioshield and a bunch of other stuff, but I think waiting for sales is going to be a must. The cost of the software adds up quick.

For some reason I didn't make the connection from watching gameplay and reading about it, but it's totally just the next step in light gun games. I felt like I was playing a tricked out Time Crisis, and that's a good thing.

The Grey posted:Are there any special rules for storing the Oculus? I seem to remember reading something about making sure the sun doesn't hit the lense. Am I making this up? Also, don't store it in a way where anything covers the proximity sensor near the forehead. If it is plugged into the PC and the prox sensor is being tripped it'll just run the displays, which would in turn cause wear on the OLEDs and your GPU would have to crank up to render Oculus Home 24/7.

Oculus tray tool linked a few pages ago solves this by turning off the oculus services when it's not running. Still a good idea in general, but yeah, I got sick of bumping my headset and having home open. That was the fix.

Cojawfee posted:https://www.roadtovr.com/oculus-platform-third-party-headset-compatibility-openxr-nate-mitchell-interview/ It seems pretty clear they're waiting on openXR to get sorted, who knows when that will be though. I think its SUPPOSED to come out later this year but I'm imagining its the kind of thing that will get delayed a ton.

Alternatively, just leave the blinds open and have the HMD lenses facing away from the sun.

As somebody who lives in the middle of a city, I'm amazed by the thought of people somehow not having blinds when they have a $400 headset and the computer to power it.
