Turin Turambar posted:There a pair of VR devs here, so, for you This seems like a pretty huge deal. By August they'll stop adding new features to their existing APIs and instead work on adding features through openXR, and by august of next year will require all new apps to use openXR and the legacy APIs for mobile and PC will be unsupported going forward.

Refresh my memory, is that the one Steam and everyone else is using? Is everyone finally using the same playbook? e - Dev folks, is Unreal VR dev less fucky than Unity's? I started poking around in there again and the engine in general seems like a mess of bolted on systems; VR being even more so.

Warbird posted:Refresh my memory, is that the one Steam and everyone else is using? Is everyone finally using the same playbook? In the before time, long ago, everyone had to make software of their own to control these new fangled VR helmets. Oculus had the OVR api starting with the DK1, valve had OpenVR, and microsoft had their whatever it was called. You also had things like daydream and such, but that was kinda minor. A few years into things oculus, valve, microsoft, nvidia and everyone with an interest as part of a kronos thing came together to lay down the groundwork for one universal VR api: OpenXR (XR because it would also apply for AR as well as VR). At the time oculus, valve and others all said they wanted to move forward with it and eventually depreciate their own proprietary API's in favor of openXR, but for many years it just kind of lingered. Oculus added openXR support on quest, valve release openXR support, but it didn't gain a lot of traction really (MS Flight sim actually was released using openXR apparently), so its kind of lingered on the developer side. This marks the biggest push yet now for openXR and with oculus mothballing their own APIs, it should pretty instantly lead to huge developer support since all the devs wanting to get their games on quest now will have to build for openXR in the future anyways, and if they're already using openXR for the quest, they might as well just use openXR period since at this point the vast majority of stuff out there can use it. It might also be the kick for valve to beef up their openXR release they did last year, since that was technically still a preview release (unless its gotten more updates since then I haven't kept up with). All in all its just a good thing for VR because it means anyone that builds a VR headset (stand alone as well) only has to build it to support openXR, instead of relying on other proprietary APIs for each headset, or shims like revive/the steamVR-WMR one.

Its been around for awhile already and is clearly the solution for the future. That said, while unreal does, unity doesn't actually support most headsets with openxr yet. Soon?

This is a 3rd, platform agnostic api. Unreal and Unity are the same for VR. I don't know where to start with that comment? Games are complicated?

Fantastic Contraption is really fun and has you building things, not sure if that's what he wants. Its closer to Lego. (Really more like Knex) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCnnJXMi8KE Rec Room lets you build spaces sooooorta like Minecraft?

I mean, theres always the VR port of minecraft itself? Maybe by "build stuff" he'd be interested in one of the art programs like tiltbrush/quill or stuff like that? Theres a few survival games where you craft and build stuff, township tale, the forrest, star shelter, and others?

Sometimes my Quest 2 boots into a black screen and the only thing I can do is to keep rebooting and hope one of the reboots "fixes" it somehow. Is this a known problem and is there a consistent way to fix this? Googling brings up resetting the whole thing but I feel there must be a simpler solution if it happens this often (twice in the last two weeks).

If I have $2000 for a new PC VR headset and a video card what's the correct solution. Presumably I want the Index, which I guess is back in stock now, and either a 20 or 30 series Nvidia? I vaguely recall the 30 series having more vr specific instructions

Presumably I want the Index, which I guess is back in stock now, and either a 20 or 30 series Nvidia? I vaguely recall the 30 series having more vr specific instructions The 30 series was mostly a performance boost, feature wise its largely the same. Now that cards are trickling back in stock you might as well go for a 3080 or whatever. VR headset though, it's a tough choice. The index has a wider FOV, is marginally sharper, is very comfortable out of the box and the tracking is fantastic, but there are no options for wireless and that's such a big deal that it may override everything else. For the Quest 2 you also have to deal with some jank and need to buy a third party head strap and wifi router for the best experience, as well as there being that wretched Facebook requirement. I put other headsets in the OP as a courtesy, for most people it really comes down to those two.

The index has a wider FOV, is marginally sharper, I'm not sure what you mean by marginally sharper, if you mean optics-wise maybe, but if you're talking visible detail the Quest 2 blows the Index out of the water. It's a significantly larger resolution spread over a much smaller field of view, so the Q2 has nearly twice as many pixels per degree. I owned both headsets simultaneously and the difference is very noticeable. Personally I prefer the higher PPD over the higher FOV, it's one of the reasons I sold the Index after getting the Q2 (the other reasons are the touch controllers, standalone play, and wireless pcvr).

I had something like that happen to me a while and eventually I figured out it was the VR cover slipping down over the face sensor and blocking it. Moving the cover up a bit so that it doesn't squish down over the sensor fixed it. edit - update on my lone echo purchase. I am working my way through it and really liking it so far. For sure worth the sale price.

Maybe I was being too kind to the Index, but the video compression and multiple resamples across the Link pipeline significantly effects perceptual sharpness.

I'm the opposite so take this all with large grains of salt. The FOV is so drastically different putting on a quest 2 now for me, sucks. Index is also more comfy imo. I cannot get my quest 2 near the level of comfy my index is. Quest is a better value tho. If you're not a facebook hater or w/e EbolaIvory fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Jul 24, 2021 |
