Hey everybody! I've been wanting a VR set since my step-brother let me play his for the Playstation but I have no idea what's a good system for VR or a good brand or anything. I'm looking for recommendations or personal experiences. I currently have an Xbox one and a Nintendo Switch for reference.

I have a PSVR2 and want to play Job Simulator, but my room is small. I want the "small layout" in the game, which I managed to get only once after many attempts. Is there a manual way to select this layout?

So ive tried to play DCS and Warthunder with my Meta Quest Pro but i never know how to make the resolution look good.

I understand a VR headet wont look as a good as a 4k monitor (correct me if im wrong pls) but is there a way to make the game look decent? Currently the games look super low res when i have the settings maxed out. Other airplanes look like fuzzy pixels instead of sharp images when theyre at a distance.

Any tips?

l've figured out how to download the game, get the mod downloaded and running! lt's amazing. All I'd like help with is how to download the Chimera suggestion made by the author of the mod.

Instruction #3 is to copy strings.dll into game folder but I don't see it in the listed files. Please help

So in 2020 I got a valve index with the controllers, tracking stations, etc. and it has served me well until a while ago I started getting the dreaded rainbow pixels and now my headset will constantly lose connection and go black in the middle of playing. I haven’t contacted valve support about it, but I know they are likely going to tell me to purchase a replacement cable which is expensive. The quest 3 is starting to look like a solid option due to its ability to take advantage of my pc’s graphics card and vr library, plus the idea of being able to take the headset anywhere with me and play it without being connected to a pc or even connected wirelessly to my pc is incredibly enticing, however, then I will have two tracking stations and two controllers, and a headset not doing me much good. I also know that the quest 3 will be a bit of a step down with its controllers and tracking, although that’s not doing me much good now with me having to use my old windows mixed reality headset. So what do you guys recommend? Should I just buy a replacement cable to fix my index? Wait for the rumored index 2? Or get a quest 3 to use standalone and with my pc, and try to sell my tracking stations/ controllers?

Let's say ASUS or another of the Horizon OS partners decides to make basically a regular Q3 plus direct displayport, and sell it at a higher price to enthusiasts.

How much extra do you think this feature is worth? What's the maximum price you would pay for such a headset, before you'd just give up and prefer the regular Q3?

I really really want to play a good sniping game but I just can't find anything. I absolutely hate Sniper Elite VR because of how jank the guns are, and I haven't really seen any other games honestly. Recommendations?

Hey!
A couple of months ago it came up in a discussion with a friend that he couldn't easily find AR VR related jobs, he got his first job in the field thanks to an internship while he was still a student, but now it was time for a change. Since I enjoy building side projects I decided to make a job board for this particular field.

I think it can be hard to only rely on the keywords "AR" "VR" "Virtual Reality" etc. so I spent some time researching interesting companies and I will keep researching to be able to offer a better selection. I was a bit surprised by the wide range of skills that can be covered: from game development, to hardware/embedded to web development, to 3D design, so it seems like there are many opportunities for people with many different backgrounds!

Anyways hope this will be useful to someone else besides my friend!

Thanks for looking. I’m not great with tech. I think this is ok with rule 8.

Do VR headsets play on multiple platforms or are they specific to one?

ie: do I have to get a PS5 headset to play off a PS5 and will it play PC content too?

Is that normal? The game runs fine othet than that, and it even happens with low graphics and 50mbps bitrate. Tried AV1 also. I havent encountered that problem yet.

hi. im trying to upload a 360 video but automatically youtube recognise it as short and i dont know why. its a VR video (4096x4096) more than 1 minute (1:18) . i have uploaded videos in this resolution again past months and everything was ok. but now not. always it recognised as short. i guess its have to do with the changes of longer shorts on youtube as 3 minutes. how can i resolve this?

I do not know if this is the right place so correct me if I am wrong, I am new to reddit. I am not good with VR but I wanted to try vivecraft on my oculus quest 2 since I love minecraft and I thought it would be fun. It says to change from intel to nvidia which I did by browsing, adding javaw, and then clicking high preformance. The issue is I reloaded and it still says the same thing when I try to click on vr for vivecraft. What am I doing wrong? I am not great with tech so I definitely need help please.

Does it come with hand attachments for hand tracking? Or do I have to buy those separately? If so where do I get those?

So I've been rocking a somewhat old build.

I7-4790k : Rx 6650XT :16 GB DDR3 RAM

Recently got a Quest 3 and connected it through Steam Link.

Everything seemed fine, only tried out Half Life 2 VR mode and it ran everything pretty smooth although a tiny bit lower resolution and I couldn't properly run 120Hz mode. 90Hz was smooth.

I know this is probably not a good game to test it out so I'm also wondering what game would be a good benchmark. I'm pretty much open to most game genres.

Was thinking about building a new PC with a 7600X to pair with my 6650 XT. I like my old PC, but I'm afraid I'm going to run into some roadblocks if I start playing other PCVR games.

I’m wheelchair bound and no longer get out like I would like. Travel is out of the question. I see VR goggles as a way to explore the world? Crazy? Wondering if anyone has recommendations for brand. Thanks!

Hey all. Just have a quick question about the Meta Quest 3 512gb. I'm thinking of getting back into VR , haven't had a headset since the CV1. I want to know if you can hook the quest up to your PC to take advantage of your computer graphics or is it strictly stand alone. Sorry if that sounds like a dumb question, I'm pretty tech savvy but I've been ignoring VR for awhile. Thanks. Also, what is the best extended battery option on the market at the moment for the headset?

It’s been maybe 2 and something months since I took the dive and ordered my first and only headset, a barely used Quest 3 that I ended up getting on a recommendation, eg. discount price since my haggle skills were on point that day. A couple of days, maybe a week later and it becomes one of my key obsessions that I couldn’t stop bragging about to whoever asked me about “how was it?” What can I say except that it was, forgive the pun, almost a game-changing event. It was always something I observed from the periphery, like listening to news about a new Iphone coming out or something to that effect. Nah, this was quite literally an reality enhancement device that amped up my immersion in any media, games and movies both, to unimaginable degrees. 

The first movie I watched was Matrix (haha), it just seemed so appropriate. And it was like watching the movie as it was intended, but COULDN’T be watched all those years ago. So much more immersive than watching it on any regular screen, no matter how physically BIG… and I own an 80-inch TV btw.  As for games, I stuck to the casual stuff like Beat Saber for some light exercises to music since it was still hot as hell here Texas when I bought the set. Then I moved to other games, the likes of Vail and Pavlov Shack being the first, mostly sticking to Vail in the end because it just has a bigger playerbase and I wanted some mindless reflex based shooting to see how good I am in VR. Not very good actually, but it was a good change of pace from the braindead TFT I played in flatscreen and a good exercise too, surprisingly. Then I tried the Light Brigade, which was more roguelitish, which is another favorite genre of mine on PC, and so the spiral goes on and deeper.

Still not sure how much longer this initial enthusiasm (more like pure HYPE) will hold, but I’m glad I bought it despite people round me saying VR is dying and investors are pulling out, no good games, yatayata-ya. The usual rambling. On a totally subjective level, I’m enjoying it a helluva lot. Would I say it has exceeded my expectations, tho? Nah, I wouldn’t go as far as that, but it did *meet* them at that golden point where I feel I got the value I wanted for my money. And that’s all that matters, I guess. How are you people liking it, especially if you’re also new to the scene like me?
