Zero VGS posted:Goes without saying, competent libertarians only exist in the realm of fiction lol If you want a "polemic" tweet from Carmack, there was one where he was happy the hardcore libertarian Milei was chosen president in Argentina. He is clearly ignorant of the situation of the country, and all the poo poo Milei has said. https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1742210148842570044 Carmack seems someone hopelessly naive in his ideology, he clearly is just extrapolating his personal life experience and attitude to the entire world, not understanding that he is one of a kind and that most people are not an optimistic well-intentioned nerd.

I hope for Carmack that he eventually reads the room (that's full of nazis) like Penn Jillette did and sever. That would require some degree of "empathy" though so I don't think his brain is capable of doing so.

Question Time posted:I read somewhere that the reason the passthru apps so far have been pretty limited and underwhelming is because Meta won’t let apps have access to the video data, basically meaning that they’re limited to projecting game tables and windows and not actually interacting with anything. Yeah, pretty much. None of the mobile headset vendors want to give out any kind of sensor access for complete bullshit "privacy" reasons (they won't elaborate on what the reasons are).

Wait, escape simulator VR is an update to the base game? That would be sweet, I assumed it was another game entirely based on the demo being on a separate page.

FuzzySlippers posted:Solving that required some really annoying fiddle and after failing to get anywhere with a couple different solutions I ended up using VirtualHere. Virtualhere is ornery fairly expensive software ($50 per machine source license non transferrable) with infamously bad support. What VirtualHere does is allow a client to access devices on a LAN source and take them over as if they were directly connected to the client machine. So I can have a laptop with a wireless mouse+kb near where I am using the Q3 and from my desktop computer (via Virtual Desktop) takeover those devices and they act as if they were directly connected to the desktop PC. The Quest is out of the loop entirely so android bugs don't apply and typing/mouse performance has been fine enough to play Cyberpunk.

I was hoping to sidestep The Discourse when mentioning Carmack but yes, he was both a pioneering voice of dissent inside a company that was almost entirely clueless techbros by the end of his tenure, and also a very obviously weird idiot with at best sketchy opinions the moment he steps out of his wheelhouse. It's both! It can be both.

Desdinova posted:I get that the headset and PC are the only things on the second router, but I meant what was the difference between the router connecting to the other router and the headset connecting to that router? Just one less device because the PC and headset are on one router that doesn't compete with the other devices, while the router is still sending/receiving the same data? The problem is the Wifi space and the transmission collisions that happen there. If you could put all the other devices beside the headset in airplane mode the internet router would be as good as a dedicated VR access point.

FuzzySlippers posted:. This is what mostly stopped me in my tracks when I tried to use the Q3 in a similar way. It was very weird to me that the intended ideal use case (including for Immersed) involves sitting at the computer using the computer's mouse+kb. Just using the headset with a Bluetooth paired mouse + kb? Naw man, doesn't work that way

Bhodi posted:You've already solved this but for anyone else with the same need (shared kb+mouse across PCs via network), there's an app called Synergy that does this for kb+mouse that doesn't cost $50. This is a software kvm? I guess if I could lock the input to the desktop computer once I started playing that would work, but if it always left at screen edge it wouldn't work for mouselook either. When I extensively used software kvms years ago when I dev'd on multiple machines they could be glitchy, but that was a long time ago so I could see it being in a better state now. Have you used it to play games across a network and the performance is good? Considering how dumb the license poo poo is on VirtualHere it'd be good to have an alternative

I'm presuming the concern is the cameras when you aren't actually using the headset and flailing along doing whatever. That felt like more of a concern when dealing with the sensors you installed around your room that were active all the time. With inside out tracking even if someone could turn on the headset remotely and access camera data then they are only seeing your closet or wherever you store your headset.

(And VirtualHere forwarding that to your desktop, which you use the Q3 as monitor replacement via virtual desktop?) I see VirtualHere has an Android client, but I don't suppose the sever can run on the Q3 due to the aforementioned bugs...

A lot of people actually use it on Quest so they can use Vive's face tracker wirelessly. Absolutely murders battery life though.

I have the virtualhere server on a mobile pc (sorta a home made laptop) so I can take over the keyboard, mouse, and Xbox dongle it normally uses anyway. A raspberry pi or steam link would be a more slick solution, but I didn’t want to get new peripherals. Those get forwarded to the client running on my main desktop which yeah then the q3 acts as a virtual monitor. Yeah I think you can’t use an Android server for keyboard and mouse due to the limitations. Other devices might work (hotas or I dunno whatever). Note you do get one device per virtualhere server for free so if you don’t mind spreading your keyboard and mouse over two raspberry pis or whatever you don’t need a license.

Picked up Legendary Tales a couple weeks ago and I'm pretty addicted to it now. The fighting is fun, and it feels like a proper dungeon crawl, and I love the fact that I can pop in and just gather crafting materials, kills some skeletons or whatever, and sell poo poo. Makes me wish my friends had a proper VR set up to play with too.

Just grabbed a PSVR2 second hand off market place. Always been keen on trying GT7, so it will be worth just for that, and I expect that I could potentially get what I paid for it back. Hoping that the rumoured driver support comes out and it can be a decent PC headset longer term to replace my now ancient Quest 1.

I thought the firmware update was already available for PSVR2 on PC? Just most hardware configurations require an adapter to make it work that doesn't exist yet.

Ah man, the battery in my Q2 might be toast. I haven't used it in a bit but have had it charging for a couple hours now and the battery won't go above 9%. Gonna let it go overnight and hope something happens. Edit: Oh wait, it looks like it might be charging now. Maybe I just had to unplug it and plug it back in a couple times. explosivo fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Apr 3, 2024 |
