Butt Discussin posted:Yeah, it's quite possible the cable brand was fine and I just stepped on it when it was twisted the wrong way, or something. Hopefully this random replacement works for another year. I have a brand new cable, that gives me random b lack screen. Brand new, confirmed working brand/length cable. Cables are just lovely made. I'm on my like 4th set in a year from stepping on em, twisting em up (I do spins n poo poo a lot in beat saber). Its also why I buy a few at a time. Sometimes right out of the bag they are janky.

The higher res headsets will be using some level of foveated rendering if they are to be worthwhile, bandwidth requirements shouldn't be that different to what is required today as a result. Not to say that the Vive wireless adapter isn't likely to be locked to Vive hardware, but it wouldn't be a technical limitation.

All I want is the next Oculus to be compatible with some sort of extension so I can dangle it from my ceiling with no trouble.

^^I mean, it is compatible with extensions (though it can be a bit finicky about them). I assume basically every Rift user in this thread uses one?

I do, I just remember some agreement about the next gen of VR using the same cable and I'm just a little worried about how well that'll integrate to my Alienware laptop.

The next-gen cable will just be USB-C, if you don't have that you can probably break it out to displayport and USB-3 idk.

Virtualink does video and data over USB c and nvidia is going to have some adapter that plugs into a displayport and a USB.

I use 10 foot extensions for both usb and hdmi with my rift and dangle it from my ceiling with ceiling hooks and retractable badge reels and it works great. I also use extensions for 2 of my 3 sensors and they work fine too. I didn’t even spend a lot and get active cables, just CableMatters USB extensions and Amazon Basics HDMI. Mine have probably survived the year I’ve been using them by never having been trampled on or tangled on the floor.

Wow. I wasn't really feeling this cheap headset but decided to try Skyrim before I return it. Game is pretty amazing in VR and somehow I didn't get completely sick! I tried playing standing up with an Xbox controller but kept almost falling over. Sitting down and spinning in my chair is alright. Is that how you are suppose to play it if you don't have Vive/rift controls? Snap movement is ok but can be kind of annoying. Kind of at least want to get a wmr headset so I can try it with proper controls and movement.

I just turn my body (in-game) with the stick. Spinning in a chair is not something I have the cabling for.

With the WMR drivers you can enable thumbstick turning, so I rarely get into cable tangles.

Hamelekim posted:What cables do you use? I am thinking of getting some for my rift. What GPU do you have? Some GPUs don't work with certain lengths of cable. I went through a lot of attempts before I found that my old GTX 970 only worked with 6 foot extensions. This is what I used and it works: https://www.amazon.com/High-Speed-HDMI-Extension-cable/dp/B00NQB2XO6/ Just be prepared that the longer you go, the greater the chance it won't work. If you have a GTX 1070, you could probably get away with a 9 foot cable with no worries.

On a budget https://amzn.to/2La7uvW You can get 2 sensors on it, 3 if you're lucky and get some magic one. https://amzn.to/2weL0EA Is the higher end solution. Keep in mind the slots are weird.

But I have good VR legs so I don't get any sort of motion sickness anymore (not that I had much to start, I was lucky in that regard).

And the slots are correct. https://amzn.to/2LaR3Q6 It only has the 2 things I think tho. EbolaIvory fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Aug 20, 2018 |

I cannot promise that one doing anything. Now with that said, I'm sure it'll be similar/fine.

Chadzok posted:https://blog.vive.com/us/2018/08/21/htc-vive-cuts-cable-debut-vive-wireless-adapter/ Wow the cost of wireless for the Pro is more than a Rift Hmd + Touch + 2 Cameras. Still, if it works well I could see getting one myself. I enjoyed my TPCast, but the hassle and the green line were too annoying.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815166038 I use this one. I've got the Rift & front two cameras plugged in via USB 3.0, then I've got an extension cable running to a USB 2.0 hub for 2 back cameras (overkill, I know, but there are a lot of obstructions in my computer room). I've had zero issues with it - I don't use VR very often, but I've never had to plug & unplug or anything to make it work.

You can get a pair of touch controllers with an included camera for $100 so if you literally only have a headset you can get the bare minimum functionality from just buying that. One camera sucks rear end though.
