Stick100 posted:They also communicate using Bluetooth, so you need a good Bluetooth connection on your computer. I've done some VR talks and in one there was bad EM interference and the WMR controllers would hardly work (I got 3DOF but not 6DOF) while they work fine on that computer in other circumstances. For my main VR desktop, I had to get a Bluetooth USB dongle and the controllers hardly work at all. I had to get a USB extension and even then the controllers only track when within a couple of feet of the Bluetooth USB dongle. I can't speak to em saturated environments but in my experience wmr bluetooth has had the opposite problem where when I try to switch between computers in different rooms the controllers will pair with the previous computer they were used with. The fact they have to be in front of the headset is the worst part, you can't really use a bow and arrow realistically because it loses track of the drawing hand

LORD OF BOOTY posted:apparently the original demo game was Superhot. fair enough, Superhot is gonna be pretty much the killer app for VR. where this becomes a problem is when the Superhot VR demo makes you shoot yourself in the head, like in the ending of the flat version. this apparently got the MS store in a lot of loving hot water, and they had to take the Vive demo out of the running and figure out a different game, which wound up being God-Awful Ping Pong. lmao

its f2. getting into vr has really made me hate the current developer trend away from providing any out-of-game documentation for controls and gameplay. some vr games dont even have a main menu, so if theres something you cant figure out its down to trawling through steam forum posts

I decided to get the windows 10 april update early and I have to say vibration feedback on wmr controllers is very nice to have. it feels pretty subtle compared to what your arms are doing in, say, boxvr but it's way better than the previous absence.

Tried my first racing game in VR, dirt rally. After the arduous setup process to get it in a wmr headset it's the most fun I've had in vr yet. Now I'm going all in on assetto corsa while its on sale.

ChickenWing posted:What's good for non-roomscale? Got the lenovo WMR headset when they were on nonsense sale and it's p nice but I have a tiny baby den in which to play so things I can do sitting down are preferable. I've been wanting to play Eve:Valkyrie since it launched but apparently nobody plays it anymore Dirt rally is really good, but you need to run revive to use it in wmr.

Carly and the reaperman is one of the best coop games I've played. It really leans into the asymmetrical aspect, good communication is essential. If you have a local coop partner pick it up asap.

App13 posted:Any thoughts on picking up an Acer WMR headset for $150? i have that set and its good, i payed 100 more for it and feel it was worth it. especially after the win10 april update, it does everything you would want except track the controllers behind your body. the headset is pretty comfortable as well. my ipd is within its range though, you should check that out first or it might be uncomfortable. ill answer any other questions you have about it

App13 posted:I have a dead average ipd so I'm not too worried about that, thankfully. How much does the headset move around while it is on you're gaming and moving around? It doesn't move around too much. If you get sweaty and youre moving around a lot it will start to slide around a bit, you can tell when it gets out of focus. but its a one-hand tightening thing so you can really cinch it down even when youre in the middle of something. get a good fit at the start (put the eyepiece part on, click the headband down over your head, make sure the back is below the bump at the back of your skull, tighten) and youll be good for a while

Wheezle posted:How do you go with crouching? I have a friend with the Dell WMR headset who seems to frequently get tracking failures when he crouches. I've had issues looking down and crouching, if you have a solid-colored floor the tracking cameras won't have enough edges to track. No issues crouching if looking somewhere where there is contrast.

Sigourney Cheevos posted:If I pick up one of the WMR headsets, the HP is the one that seems good- are regular SteamVR games going to pose a problem? Will I be able to do the shield swap in Space Pirate Trainer? Are there any hacks to let Rift-only games play on other headsets? You can absolutely do that shield swap. Revive is the hack to get oculus games working and it has worked fine with wmr ime

Boxman posted:Wouldn't surprise me if the Xbox team has gotten real gunshy at pushing envelopes. HD-DVD and Kinect 1.0 were more or less failures for the 360, and Kinect 2.0 and their push to an always connected console did a lot to harm Xbox One's early months. I think it's just Microsoft being Microsoft where the left hand never knows what the right is doing or being actively hostile towards it. Wmr is a significantly better experience than psvr, they developed all the drivers etc in house, what could it cost to put out a splitter box with bluetooth (I assume an Xbox one doesn't already have bluetooth)? Optional full body tracking if you have a Kinect would put it at an advantage over even rift or vive.

Cojawfee posted:While the Xbonx might be able to do it, I doubt the xbone could. That doesn't really jive with Microsoft's plan of games working seamlessly between their console generations. Doesn't wmr have a specific low quality vr spec that allows use with integrated graphics? Use that as the Xbox one baseline and the high spec for Xbox one x. Psvr does something like that anyway on the ps4 vs pro. Or only allow games that can run with simplified geometry and textures. There is no hard and fast reason an Xbox one couldn't support a headset. Just imagine gears of war horde mode in vr

rage-saq posted:Microsoft was planning on bringing WMR to the XboneX, but, they officially cancelled it. Your probably right but even if wmr never gets updated, that's good enough for a $200 all in one vr system. It's very Microsoft not to take advantage of this natural synergy between two of their own products.

Mike the TV posted:I decided to try out Subnautica, and it seems like a really well put together VR side to it... except the pad and everything I pick up is an inch away from my face. Is there a setting that might fix that? I feel like my head is right above my virtual shoulders so I don't think the issue is that I just need to lean back. Subnautica vr is busted in that respect, but the blog post they put out recently said that the next update they do should provide options for changing the PDA & etc. distance

Zero VGS posted:What is that "Jingo" game supposed to be? Worms for nationalists? In case anyone was still wondering about this, it pretty much is first-person worms. limited movement points/time per round, all your guys share an ammo pool. there were some questionable accents and the fov was set too high, but you can physically move behind cover in roomscale if someone is shooting at you so that's kind of cool.

Tom Guycot posted:Every single sensor for the lighthouse system has its own ASIC behind it, as it has to read that its detected the light, then relay that information and its timing, along with the usual haptics and wireless controller functions. The touch controllers just have to have send a dumb pulse to series of LED's with no computations needing to be done. They last a bit longer than that. But AAs have a lot less energy density than lithium batteries, so I would guess it's that combined with running a high-rate bluetooth transmitter, imu, and the fairly bright LEDs. A good comparison would be the DS4 controller which also gets not great battery life compared to an Xbox or Wii u pro controller

I didn't realize the touch also used AA batteries. Good on oculus

Neddy Seagoon posted:The PSVR is a pretty nice piece of kit for something that's basically a frankensteined accessory for the PS4. Rez Infinite is amazing in VR, and now I wish that Child of Eden wasn't an X360 exclusive so that might get the same remastering treatment Child of Eden was definitely on ps3 and supported PS move. Not sure it has the cultural cache of Rez to get a remaster though

Orange Sunshine posted:It looks like the geniuses who designed the Oculus Go, in their mighty wisdom, decided that you shouldn't be able to type a credit card number into the Oculus go using its own controller, which means I have no way of buying apps from the Oculus store. I could go to any random website in the world and type a credit card number in using the controller, but of course not anything in the Oculus store. Certainly not, that would be crazy. Why don't you just get a cheap used android phone? you can probably get one off ebay for $20 that can at least run this one app you constantly need.

I use a different wmr headset and haven't experienced that as far as I recall, and I have played the lab and accounting+. Are you in the steamvr beta branch, or the wmr for steam vr beta branch? Try messing around with those settings. Also, are you starting them from the steam desktop window, or from within steam vr? I always start from steam vr home

Unit24 posted:Did a few more tests. The resource monitor shows the CPU usage spiking dramatically when the problems start happening, I see the SteamVR window constantly switch between being normal and "unresponsive", and when I take the headset off and put it down for a bit, the game goes back to normal temporarily. Are you using the windows resource monitor or the steam vr fps display? You might be able to suss out more useful information from the fps monitor. Maybe check your CPU temperatures too, see if it's throttling.
