Mode 7 posted:Walkabout Minigolf finally moving to end-of-life for the Quest 1 (though in pretty much the single best possible way they could have done, incredibly good dev team) might be the thing that finally pushes me to upgrade my headset. In my country I see it has a new offer, they have lowered the price by 40€, to 389€. I guess to compete better with the new Quest 2 price.

ive gone into the weird reboot mode after leaving it alone for 6 months and the battery had fully died and it didnt want to wake up, but i dont think i ever had to factory reset anything. im guessing all my saves are local because why would they do anything for me for making me put all my info into the ecosystem

I had to factory reset once to fix tracking issues and was more bummed than I like to admit that I lost all of my Walkabout Mini Golf balls and clubs

Hell I think the latest Pimax coming out plus a 4090-equipped PC is around the same cost.

If the clarity is as good as the reviews say, it's probably best-in-class. It's certainly not a good value proposition for the vast majority of people.

best in class is fine, but it's the software that's important. if you can't play minigolf in your kitchen then what's even the point of AR

Yeah note the source of that tweet, it's the Virtual Desktop guy. If he can release VD for the VP that makes things look a lot better. Though you still have the problem of what controller do you use.

akadajet posted:This expensive apple headset will probably end up being the best PCVR experience Sure Oculus started with a Rift HMD and an Xbox controller. And then it got immediately eclipsed by a direct competitor offering tracked hand controllers and roomscale VR experiences, almost completely negating the original spec entirely as the standard for VR development.

SCheeseman posted:Vision Pro is likely to be a godsend for those with very poor mobility. Yeah, and while the outward facing screen seems dumb for a lot of people. If you're using it out in the wild as an accessibility aid it's going to help with communicating to everybody else. I think it's a better idea than people generally realize.

Manager Hoyden posted:Lol are there actual human beings defending this utterly ridiculous Apple offering? Yes because when you realize what this first release really is, its not so stupid/wild. I'm quite excited for the tech side of it. The price puts it out of range for normal consumers for 1st gen for sure which is fine. That just gives devs and enthusiasts and apple nerds a chance to break/fix things for the masses gen 2 and beyond. Haters can hate. But apple tends to dip its toes once it figures things out and its looking like they have in a lot of ways.

I truly believe it will flop hard and the second generation will be enterprise only, as has been the fate of the other $$$ overhyped ar nonsense. But I'm glad they were able to bring something new to market. I think it's been what, just the watch since the iphone release?

Could use some advice on using Airlink. I just signed up for a new internet provider (comcast) and installed their modem/router, ethernet is connected from the computer, and quest 2 connect to network. These are the only things on there so far, all in the same room. I dropped refresh down to 90, but I'm still getting a lot of occasional to frequent lag with relatively low requirement games (Robo Recall was my test game). I have a 3090 so I don't think it's a gpu issue. Made sure it's on 5ghz, but otherwise it doesn't look like Comcast allows me to play with other settings on their equipment. I don't mind dropping the visual quality a bit, but we are talking full second stoppages in the headset right now.

If the device wont let you change channels and all that you may just need to get yourself a dedicated access point for the headset. Also would recommend making sure minimal amount of devices are on said 5ghz when you're using it. Even just being connected is traffic. Id just pick up a cheapish router for your headset otherwise.
