I hope meta adds some kind of item recognition API to track physical objects, maybe you pass the API a trained model and get back results. It'd be fun to use your real joystick or sword in game

Is it a terrible idea to take my quest 3 up on my roof deck? It's large enough that I can setup boundaries to make sure I'm nowhere near falling off the roof, and I know not expose the lenses inside to sunlight.

I remember Tinker Pilot was a project aiming for 1:1 virtual and physical control matches, so no selective passthrough needed.

Did Meta Horizon Worlds change? Last I remember in Quest 2 you could sort of teleport through the worlds when you want to move your character but it seems they got rid of that? Now you need to walk and get like motion sickness?

Onward got a big update yesterday that adds an entirely new co-op mode called Mercenaries. Your team of 4 starts with pistols, and does a series of 6 missions of increasing difficulty. Each mission has different equipment rewards to choose from, as well as a randomized option. So you might have the choice between Extra Syringes and a Red Dot Site for primary weapons, or an AK-12 primary weapon (and the random slot is frag grenades and a primary foregrip). It's very fun, and a much different feeling and environment from normal play. Lots of of graphical updates as well.

As someone who loves the weapon handling of Onward but never had a good time with the 5v5, I feel like there's finally an actual game, here. It's also nice being forced to use a pistol at first, since there's very little reason to in the other modes.

It enforces actual teamwork and solid communication, as well as coordination of equipment between maps. The final mission is always an escape via chopper, but it spawns far from you while max level bots are swarming you. The music kicks in and everything, it feels very cinematic and awesome.

I caved and bought a Quest 3, I needed a treat. Colour passthrough is neat, the screen definitely feels crisper and the controllers feel a tiny bit more balanced without the rings. All good so far but I definitely need a different facial interface, I like the material but it just isn't quite soft enough and my face started to ache pretty quickly. AMVR do the same basic one from the Quest 2 replacement interfaces so I'll probably go with that. What's a good choice for a head strap? I don't need a battery as my wireless isn't good enough for Airlink, so I have a powered cable instead.

Getting a halo strap and going without a facial interface is also an option. You lose a little stability and a little immersion (because you can see your surroundings), but you gain a comfort, situational awareness (because you can see your surroundings!), and at least for me it reduces motion sickness. Plus, it's less sweaty and your lenses won't fog up during intense games. I can only vouch for the BoboVR S3 (which is on the expensive side and has a battery, so probably not your best pick), but I imagine there are others.

Even if you are wired when you are playing pcvr it's pretty great to be wireless when you are playing quest only games (of which there are many). The Q3 is decently powerful enough that games can look a lot better than old Quest stuff. I never bothered with battery crap on the Q1 or Q2 but I was running out of battery frequently on the Q3 both because it doesn't get great battery life and the extra comfort allows me to play longer. There are also games where the pcvr and Q3 versions are similar so it isn't worth bothering to stream (Walkabout Golf and Light Brigade for two examples). Quest streaming experience has improved over the years too as I found it pretty janky on my Q1 years ago but still on the same network pretty good on my Q3 (I am actually in the middle of upgrading the network tho). There are also cheap ways to make your wireless good enough for pc streaming. I've seen people mention getting <= $50 routers that they dedicated to streaming (ethernet connected to pc and with an ssid nothing else connects to) that can stream at the highest quality. I also really like the BoboVR S3 which of the 4 straps I tried (2 different Kiwi, Bobo m3, and Bobo s4) was the best. I have the amvr facial interface but it's only okay. I found the nose piece annoying and it isn't really much more comfortable than the stock. It does adjust the headset distance easier than the stock if you frequently need to change that for whatever reason. At the moment I am actually favoring the stock interface with a cheap silicon cover, but my plan is to eventually 3D print one of those slim Quest Pro style interfaces that I can attach a bit of cushion to. I didn't find it entirely comfortable to go without the facial interface, but I have a giant newscaster head so maybe it's getting in the way.

The Eyes Have It posted:Is that this one? Because it looks hella clunky and heavy. And the fan built into the headband is kinda it looks dumb as gently caress in the photos. About a month ago when I first got the q3 someone in this thread recommended the bobo and I actually expressed doubts based on how awkward it looked. When I went looking at recommendations for straps on reddit you do find near uniform praise so I decided to try an m3 from some place with easy returns. When I put it on I understood the love for halo style straps. It's dramatically more comfortable than any of the various straps I've used over the years including my previous favorite the vive das adapted to work on the quest 1. My wife tried it on for a couple minutes and immediately ordered the q2 version for her headset to replace her elite style strap she's used for years. We've both been more comfortable in vr than we've ever been and been playing something every day (usually a round or two of walkabout golf at least). Getting all that pressure off your face is so good. I was also always doubtful of the idea of a battery at the back of the strap acting as a counterweight but it does seem to work. There are other halo style straps but this is the only one I've used. They announced the s3 a couple days after I bought the m3 so I returned the m3 and ordered the s3 since I do actually use the extra battery life and the s3 does have some other minor improvements (a bit more comfortable and it's more solid and it stays when you flip it up better). So, the m3 is a cheaper option if you want to go for it. I believe the mini is not the same fit so I wouldn't drop down to that. I will say it looks less dumb irl than in the photos somehow. Something about that straight on profile photo just exaggerates the extra plastic to look like the worst third party NES accessory. I've barely used the fan but I don't think it adds much weight. It is still cold her so maybe it'll be useful in the summer. You can feel it blowing and even at max speed I can't hear it over game audio. I had thought I might use it to help combat motion sickness since blowing a fan at yourself helps, but getting prescription lenses seems to have largely solved that for me anyway. though 'less dumb' is relative here since everyone looks like an idiot in a vr helmet

i guess that'll be done by streaming to the PS5, rather than being able to plug the PSVR2 straight into a PC even if they wanted to allow the latter, which they don't because they want you to have a PS5, they backed themselves into a corner with the weird virtuallink setup

No reason Sony can't handle that if they care.
