i have only tried the quest 2 and it was at a friends house and it was (out of all games) gorilla tag..
ive heard that theyre both good and that the "mixed reality" is better and the passthrough but im not a nerd so i have no idea what that means. I do wanna get the meta quest 3 but im not really sure thats why im asking this.

About to start a new job, so I'm following an old man's advice and blowing my first paycheck on something I want for myself. I'm an absolute beginner when it comes to VR, so I'm hoping somebody can point me in the direction of a good setup. Tempted by Valve's Index kit, but it's nearly 2 grand, and as I mentioned, I have no experience with VR. Does anyone have any recommendations for me?

I see this reduced a little at one retailer and was wondering if it really adds anything if you mainly play PC VR gaming titles or PC gaming titles with VR mods? I already have similar hand controllers, but was not sure if this is a worth an upgrade for someone like me who does not own a Playstation and mostly plays VR PC titles.

a barely used index full kit, 3 vive tracker 3.0s, and some battery bank track straps. I couldn't be happier, especially coming from a cv1 lol

Im very tired of this issue pursuing so im going to provide an insane amount of detail. My VR was working fine the day before yesterday I decided to do a facotory reset because I havent done one in about a year I was going to boot up blade and sorcery on my vr but my vr has had a incredibly hard time linking to my computer wether it is air link or wireless I will tell you the issues that are happening. I turn on my vr and it says connected wether that is with air link (which I havent used in a while) or my off brand oculus cord (Which has previously worked and still does count as a working link cable according to Meta Quest Link) doesnt matter but on my connect to pc thing i see my pc it either says missing requirements but sometimes it does not either way i see the big ol infinity symbol of Meta and It loads with three white dots in a black room indefinitely.

I just dont know what to do

Trying to play resident evil village with praydogs vr mod, but it only shows up in theater mode. I tried disabling theater mode in steamvr but now it doesn't show up on the headset (quest 2) at all. Anybody know what could be the issue?

I keep trying to download the prismxr desktop app from the official website and getting error messages in chrome and windows defender about trojans and other high risk issues. Should I just stick with the phone app and leave the desktop app uninstalled or is this whole device a scam?

My controllers keep getting stick drift and this is my fourth time. Buying replacements, wondering if there’s any to repair them

I’ve wanted to do live-streaming on beat saber I am currently looking at the quest 3 but I don’t know if performance, video quality, audio and mic are high enough quality I’m just looking for a headset that preforms well with these factors does any help is appreciated thanks.

I recently got into playing Minecraft in VR (really, really fun, highly recommend), but recently, if I aim my cursor at a non-colliding block like a torch, tall grass, or open fence gate, it gets stuck on that block and won't move until I either break the block or walk far enough away. How can I fix this?

What sort of specific developments/improvements have been made in HMDs since the Reverb G2? I know eye tracking is a big thing due to enabling dynamic foveated rendering, and I’m pretty well set on making sure my next device supports that. Aside from that though, are there any specific technologies on newer devices that provide an immediately noticeable improvement in terms of clarity/comfort/immersion?

Welp I got 8 vive ultimate trackers, can only have 10 if i get an xr elite but ive already got a quest pro for the face tracking. should i sell the pro and get the elite to use all 8 trackers with? should i stay with the pro and limit it to 5 trackers? i just realized the elite had pancake lenses too which is my selling point but controllers suck apparently as as soon as the headset dont see em they lose tracking where the pro controllers dont. ahhhh decisions !

ADDITION: idrc abt standalone that doesnt matter to me as long as it runs virtual desktop or steamlink thats what matters

Which do yall think is better?

So Batman Arkham Shadow might actually be the best standalone vr game I played and it’s kinda sad you can’t play it on pc with other headsets because there’s pcvr headsets like the pimax crystal light with DisplayPort cables and way higher resolution.

Seems like the only thing we have to rely on to get the best out of Batman Arkham shadow is sidequest with the quest 3 so you unfortunately won’t get amazing colors and local dimming blacks like with the Qled panel of the crystal light.

It’s just pcvr you can get a lot more outta your games depending on the vr headset you have in terms of resolution sharpness and colors

I haven't been hearing really good things on stram right now. It's sitting st mostly positive right now. Planning to pick this up but if it's bad, I won't.

my uni has the quest 2 and we will be setting up a booth for the astronomy club. we will be using as a short activity so we leave a mark and spark interest in astronomy. i was considering the oculus game where u roam around int he ISS.

Hey there! I’m looking to get my first VR headset but I’m mainly looking to watch videos on it. I don’t want the quality to be bad though. Meta quest is what I’ve seen the most but those are quite pricey. Are there any brands that are cheaper than meta quest but can still give good high quality experience when watching stuff in VR? And I know this is the gaming VR sub but I didn’t know where else to ask😅

So it says Alien Rogue Incursion was supposed to be a meta quest 3 exclusive as people on YouTube said but if that’s the case then why is it right here on steam with a release date on it?

I have Steam and SteamVR, what else do I need?

I'm currently building a prototype where the player can change locomotion between the arm-swinging locomotion (e.g gorilla tag) and smooth locomotion (e.g rec room, where you use the joystick on the controller to move.) in-game, so not just from the settings.

I'm facing a challenge with the implementation, and I'd like to know if some games have already implemented this feature. So I could take some inspiration.

The challenge:

Switching between gorilla tag locomotion and smooth locomotion requires changing the character's stance, from low on the ground to standing up. I don't want players to be divided like this into two height groups.

Note that the gorilla tag-style locomotion wouldn't be used to swing around the map. It would be used to make the player feel more immersed in the environment. I just want the player to be able to use their arms to move in VR. The character design would be more like Rec Room than gorilla tag.

Hey, techies!

So, I recently bought a Pico 4 Ultra from Aliexpress. I saw some reviews saying the seller was good and helped someone change the CN version to the Global version. But when I messaged them, they gave me these limited instructions that didn't work.

They sent me a link to download the global software from Pico's official website. I downloaded the right file for my headset, but it was in a .zip file on my Pico's SD card.

I used an APK zip utility to extract the files and did a factory reset. But guess what? It was still the CN version.

I tried again, this time without the factory reset, but same results.

I'm stumped. Can you help a fellow tech lover out?

I’ve wanted a headset for years but I’ve never been in a rush bc I kept feeling like there would be huge innovations happening the second I pull the trigger lol.

I’d mostly use it for PC gaming. So I’m just curious if there’s a good time to buy? (Discounts) or if there’s been news of any innovations coming soon or a new headset coming soon. I’m not in a rush at all but just felt like I’d ask.

Sorry if this gets asked all the time. I searched the sub for a similar question but the most recent I saw was almost a year ago
