What are their plans with the new Oculus Home that's on the beta now? I just heard about it today, enabled it and spent like 2 hours just messing around building my own space. If they make it so you can gain items to furnish with while in games that's gonna be p rad. Kinda like the Steam cards, only instead of buying games with them you can chuck them around in virtual space into your virtual fireplace or onto the virtual city streets below scaring the poo poo out of your irl cats while you do it. I'm sorry kitty, please stop staring at the wall

It's not really a ~$200 price difference however. I belive with PSVR you just gets you the headset and the breakout box. Then you have to buy the PlayStation Camera, should buy 2 Motion controllers. With that all added up it's only more like a $50 difference and the same games on PSVR seem to be significantly more expensive when you factor in the crazy Oculus/Steam sales. There also is so much good free stuff on PC VR that you can't get with PSVR. I'd strongly suggest Rift over PSVR but that's just me.

I accidentally spoiled myself for a bunch of Meatmas unlocks on the H3VR subreddit, and for those wondering if the unlocks are worth bothering with-- let me say that there are WW2 guns that you definitely want.

If they make it so you can gain items to furnish with while in games that's gonna be p rad. From the bits I've seen from various things they've said, the roadmap for it is to bring in multiplayer so in addition to being persistent you'll be able to run into other people. To allow you to import medium sculpts, and 3d models created elsewhere as well, but medium sculpts are something coming sooner and easier to implement all in one. Achievements and items granted from games that you can use in the home (beyond the legacy achievement plaques you can hang up now). Public spaces to visit beyond just your personal homes, including a store you can explore instead of just being a menu. Lootboxes are already there, earned... I think by time or things accomplished in games, not sure, though they confirmed they have no desire to ever sell lootboxes or items and its all just meant as random prizes.

My protube arrived today and I cannot for the life of me figure out the bipod attachment. The only video I can find is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H48iO6e8oDU&t=36s and from that it looks like converting it from parallel to perpendicular should be a simple flick from one position to another (doable in-game), but even putting a fairly serious amount of force on it isn't causing it to budge. On the flip side, it looks like it wiggles upward slightly. Is it possible it was assembled backwards or am I missing something obvious?

Check out X Rebirth VR while its free. I just spent a bit of time in it and it is pretty cool. The graphics/polish is no where near Elite, but it is more fun and faster paced while still being a sim. It also has a solid Touch interface so no fancy joystick setup needed. It also feels a bit more like you are flying a large space ship as opposed to a nimble space fighter thing which is another plus to me.

For the holidays you'll be able to grab a PS4 Slim for $200 (or less?) and the GT Sport + VR headset kit for $200 since they're getting rid of mk1 model PSVR headset (only cabling & operation (volume mute etc differences), just need Move controllers on top of that and you're set. Now, back to my daily four hours of Skyrim VR  e: add whatever it costs to get the camera up to like 1ft above your head for standing gameplay though, that stuff helps. Drill into a wall, mount something on a wall, tripod, light-fitting stand, mic-stand, tripod on a keyboard-stand, without that stuff it'll be hard to get the right angle for switching between sitting and standing Move controller gameplay that never loses tracking or has occlusion problems.

The Bundles do, but the original headset did not. It looks like they are dropping the bundles down to $200 which is really a great price. I kind of hope we stay at this level of tech for another year and drop PSVR down to $99 and Rift down to $199 before we get another set of headsets. I wonder if anyone will be able to go back to $799 again.

I wonder if anyone will be able to go back to $799 again. The original standalone headset box was for people who already had the camera and motion controller accessories and just wanted to add the VR headset. They've always sold bundles with everything you need to play, for example I bought the Playstation VR Worlds bundle, and there was also a Rush of Blood bundle. There's a lot of smartphone technology in these headsets and I predict they're going to go down the same path: there will be the big budget battle of the flagships, and then there will be affordable midrange sets that review poorly but sell in huge numbers.

Steam supports pre-loading, but whether or not a particular game will be available to pre-load is another matter.

I am trying to sort out a problem that I have with my Rift and am thinking it must be the tracking. I had previously only noticed it in Steam VR but now notice it in the new Oculus home - I couldn’t articulate what the problem was before but now I can. I felt like there were slight movements in perspective that I was not controlling. I now can tell that they are very slight forward and then backward movements as if I bobbed my head slightly out and then back again and I can recreate it exactly because it only happens at certain points when I rotate my head around. It doesn’t happen at all if I face forward towards my two sensors or back toward my one sensor but on the sides, if I move very slowly I can see these camera movements happen at exactly the same points when turning. I had noticed it more when I got my 3rd sensor (now that I realize it in retrospect) - I have the recommended setup with two sensors up front and one in back, all a little under 6 feet up. I did the placement instruction that Oculus has you do when adding the 3rd sensor and it said that it was ok after many tries. I have a glass sliding door about 6 feet to the right of my play area. Wondering if that could somehow be causing problems, I draped a sheet over the glass but the problem is still there. Any ideas on how to fix something like this or what could be causing it? I started noticing it mainly because I was getting headaches after playing and was trying to figure out why and now I see that it is because of the camera/perspective shift that, although small, is happening every time I turn around. Edit: Fixed it. While playing around with the sensor placement in vain I saw that the light was not on on the front right sensor. Going into devices showed that it was working so I didn’t think to check the light - going into a full sensor setup as if they were new also showed that it was plugged in and seemingly working but when I got to the placement part it only showed 2 sensors and not the one with the light off. I swapped ups ports around and it worked AND I saw some either new info or info I didn’t see before that the 3rd sensor should definitely not be plugged into a usb 3 port. I didn’t know that mattered so that is in a usb 2 port now. Went through the placement setup again and now everything is working even better than when it was working optimally to begin with. No time to play games after 2 hours of trying to figure it out but I look forward to playing tomorrow night now that the tracking is flawless. rio fucked around with this message at 06:58 on Dec 10, 2017 |

Finally dipped my toes in the VR well and picked up the PSVR GT set for $179 (had a 10% off coupon). I'm debating whether or not to pick up the Amazon $25 PS3 move controllers or to wait and see if the Dualshock is decent enough.

I've noticed that the Oculus app is reporting that one of my sensors is plugged in with USB 2 even though it's definitely plugged into a 3 port, also if I use any kind of extension cable on it it reports a bad signal. I assume that means I've got I've got an inadequate USB controller on my motherboard? I should probably get another USB controller card if I want do roomscale, right? Since I can't put an extender on one of my sensors I'm stuck with front-facing and I'm willing to bet that a third sensor is too much for my computer without another card.

Make sure its a USB 3.0 cable that is supported. https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/wiki/extension_cables If you're running 3 sensors + a headset off motherboard. Welp. You're most likely overloading your usb unless you have a fancy pants board. Are you using the newest dash update (Beta or w/e)? Mine thinks my drivers are out of date and there isnt new ones. So maybe its a fluke? Also the USB cable that comes with the third sensor, is 2.0. Be aware of that.

Ok, so, managed to get a screenshot of the weird thing my Oculus keeps doing while I was having my wife try it out. This is supposed to be the white tutorial room where they show you how the controllers work. It's back there, but behind blocks and sparkles. It continued through the whole tutorial (except as the screen was fading to black), was gone in Home 2.0, then we tried VR Funhouse, and the initial event had them, it was gone for the rest of the game, then when it looped back to the swords & balloons one it came back. I haven't seen this on anything else outside Oculus apps. It's a new PC so I haven't done too much gaming on it yet, but the benchmarks and few games I have run have all looked fine. Any ideas? Weirdly, I rebooted and it was fine, I left for a few minutes to eat dinner, then when I started it up again it was doing it. Home 2.0 does it sometimes if I set the detail to high but hasn't ever done it on low.

In most games that support them they make for a totally new experience over playing it with the DS4 and there are plenty of games that are only worth playing at all with motion control.

Passive cables don't really work well for anything but really short distances. The 3rd sensor comes with a 2.0 16' extension cable, but even oculus recommends the 3rd sensor only be plugged into 2.0. You could try moving some things around in the ports, but its likely its running out of USB resources for 3.0, that being said the sensors can be run in 2.0 mode, and its debatable if it even makes a noticeable effect for anything but a super large play space.

Are the drivers up to date? If thats showing up on the desktop mirror I can't imagine it being any problem with the the rift at all, it looks like theres something screwy with your video card or drivers. If you have the latest up to date drivers, I'd maybe try putting everything back to default settings and reinstalling the video card.
