Is the upcoming Quest 3 supposed to have an entirely new chip, or just a retune of the same chip that is in the Quest 1, Quest 2, and Quest Pro? That thing is long, long in the tooth at this point.

Oh yeah I think I was thinking of the Logitech G-Cloud except that has a 720. I'm assuming the XR3 will be based off the Gen 8 chips, else what the gently caress are we doing?

Rebuff Reality's doing a sale at the moment, and VR Ears are down to $49USD. I've got nothing but good things to say about my set, so if you want some quality off-ear audio to mount to your VR headset and don't have an Index or Reverb G2, they're not a bad way to go.

Teratrain posted:What's it like? Sounds like it could be a fun longer term game to play. I've only really dabbled in sandboxes and narrative stuff so far. It's pretty great. I've been playing it through nearly all of its early access. It's asynchronous multiplayer so you're playing solo with up to 3 AI minions of your choice and attacking bases built by other players - the base exists in the cloud and the other player doesn't have to be online. Defeating a base consists of grabbing and squeezing crystals on the traps and minion spawners until they pop, all while the base's minions are attacking you and traps you haven't disabled yet are firing on you. Pop all the crystals and you can move on to the next room, clear all the rooms to win. You earn Violence to spend on upgrading your own base, its traps and minions, and your and your minions' weapons. You start with one room in your base and unlock up to 4 and get to pick what traps and minions go in each room and where they go and what weapons your minions are carrying if any. It takes awhile to unlock everything and it's never stopped being fun for me even after fully unlocking and upgrading everything. Can't wait to find the time to try out the new hero and minion.

Hopped into Barbaria and have to agree that it's very good fun. It takes a little bit of getting used to your arms being longer than your actual arms and getting damage completely stunning you, but after a few rounds it becomes second nature. I've not yet unlocked very much stuff, but it already seems like you can do a whole lot of fun stuff. Lopping off an imp's head, catching it it in midair, and then yeeting it at a skeleton never gets old. I do have two petty gripes, though. For one, there doesn't seem to be a grip toggle, which already annoyed me to no end in Bonelab. After a while my fingers just get fatigued having to hold down the triggers all the time, and it's easy for your weapon to accidentally slip from your grasp during big movements. Secondly, there doesn't seem to be a left-handed option. It's a fairly minor thing, but it does get annoying only being able to draw your starting weapon with your offhand and having to switch it at the beginning of every single round.

I tried Grimlord demo on Steam using the Quest 2 and Virtual Desktop. Had struggles. Some of it is the limitations of the Quest controllers, and how tracking disappears at extreme angles, etc. That really gets in the way of holstering, etc sometimes. Can see how this would be a lot better with the fancy Quest Pro controllers which don't care about such things. The other thing was that all the weapon handling felt pretty... laggy and clunky for lack of a better term. I'll have to try with my Index to see if it plays any different. This isn't the first time a game handles kind of like rear end when using Quest -> Steam via VD. It almost seems like games sometimes don't agree on how to handle controller types, or decide on which way is "up". For example, the gun cleaning rod and brush are at weird angles in Into the Radius, etc. Like, stuff is functional but it also feels bad and weird at the same time that it's technically "working". It's only recently occurred to me that maybe I'm asking too much of my old machine and so-so video card

I don't think the leaker considered the VR headset as 'his/her product' The "3rd party leaker" would have been some engineer grunt from a Chinese manufacturer / prototyper most likely, looking to make a quick buck and not minding that Meta would immediately know it was their company who leaked if if not that person specifically. Must have had an axe to grind. Meta sending those emails confirms the leaks were real (they looked like legit paid CAD work to me certainly). LOL at this Alex Heath guy bloviating "oh well paying a source is questionable journalism, I wouldn't do that and neither would a self-respecting newsroom", no poo poo sherlock it's a leaker selling info to some zoomer weeaboo on Twitter, we weren't expecting Pulitzer-grade integrity. Newspapers are dead if you hadn't got the memo, cry about it I guess.

Traditional press getting pissy when a Youtuber scoops them is endlessly hilarious. You saw it when EVGA left the GPU market and Gamers Nexus were the ones who got to break it and the rest of the tech press made a big show of oh well you can’t trust this story because it didn’t come through the REAL journalists.

The Eyes Have It posted:Google's Arts & Culture app on my phone is pretty neat in that you can wave your phone around to look at art pieces in a phone-based AR kind of way, the neat part being that the artwork can be shown as though it were floating in e.g. your living room, and at life size. You can walk up and lean in close, etc. I’ll definitely check that out. It will work with my phone. The Kremer Collection on PCVR wet my appetite. Big collection of dutch master paintings in high detail. In the VR tour, I was staring at Michael Sweerts “A Young Maidservant” for a long time. Lifelike portrait of a beautiful girl that lived almost 400 years ago. She would have been forgotten by time had she not been immortalized in an outstanding painting.

NoneMoreNegative posted:When they put a bunch of 'tour modes' in Assassins Creed Origins and Odyssey to showcase all the work they did recreating ancient Egypt and Greece without having to worry about being stabbed by a mercenary I wished there were some way of getting a vr dual-camera view out of the game in some way. Loved the egypt discovery tour. Visiting Alexanders tomb as Julius Caesar is a delight for a history geek. SW them all. The Odyssey one not quite as good though.

So i'm selling my friends Rift for him, and had to set it up and test it. Coming from a Quest 2, and holy poo poo, it sucks. I'm having to use music sheet stands and whatever the gently caress I can find around my house to place the sensors in the proper height and position. The software is so picky with how they need to be set. I had to buy an expensive cable to give up the single HDMI port my GPU has and have my monitor connect to a display port. I'm having to sit far away from the desk so the sensors catch me. Then I put the headset on, and i'm struck with the screen door effect. But the real deal breaker are these horrible vertical black lines caused by the lenses overlapping, and the internet's solution is, get used to it, your brain will forget it's there. And anytime there's a high contrast image like white letters and a black background, there's hardcore god rays around it. Plus no pass through. Cables everywhere. I can see why he lost interest in VR and didn't even finish Alyx. I'm surprised people are still buying these.

My needs for immersiveness got met a few years ago. It was screen door effect, solved around quest 2 times, and wireless, which was solved pretty much at that time. Everything from here on out is gravy, (but sorry ps5 vr  )

Quest 2 has high enough pixel density that I really can't see any screen door effect anymore, and things are quite easily readable, if a little blurry because of the limitations of display tech (screen door is gone but you still have less pixels in a certain arc than you would on a screen further from your eyes). I don't know exactly what I can do to get that level of pixel density with a wider FoV besides buying a loving Pimax. Valve Index ain't it though, because while it does have better FoV, the resolution is significantly lower than the Quest 2. Here's hoping the Quest 3 will have better FoV.

I don't know for sure but I have a big suspicion that the Quest 3 will finally be the one that gets me all Zucced up and peels me away from my Index. But then I'll probably be compelled to ebay the wife's quest 2 and upgrade both of us.

Quest 3 with Quest Pro controllers is probably the ideal zucc setup, since you'll have wireless connectivity, pancake lenses, better pixel density, a generally lighter headset, and also 7-8 hours of battery life on rechargable controllers with no occlusion.
