After owning a Q1, Q2, Q3, Rift S, and Reverb G2, the honest truth dawns: except for the Quest 1 (which isn't far behind), all visually appear quite similar during gameplay. The experience remains relatively constant, with no significant leaps forward in average consumer VR products since the Rift S. However, amidst this monotony, the G2 and Quest 3 shine. The G2, in my opinion, stands as the paramount PCVR headset overall. The Quest 3, while commendable, falls short due to its screen door effect and compression issues, though it still holds its own big time.
The crux of the matter is this: donning any headset from Rift S upwards yields virtually identical experiences with only negligible disparities. It's amusing to witness the hyperbolic claims of those who just upgraded their headset. Posts flood in from individuals who, just a month prior, staunchly defended their G2, now decrying it as crap due to the allure of Quest 3. Conversely, so many G2 owners who attempted to transition to Quest 3 found themselves reverting back to their G2 after a mere week.
Here's the bottom line: when you're knee-deep in gameplay, all these headsets meld into one badass experience. No matter the model, it's a guaranteed thrill ride. So, let's cut the crap and respect each other's choices!
Less than a month Away... Predictions?
Hey, just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to use quest pro controllers as full body trackers on third party headsets such as the pico 4? Seen some really cheap QP controllers, and thought it was worth checking
I would love to hear what people look for or are most enthusiastic about, as someone looking into taking content creation seriously, to better understand what people actually like. Is it more laidback videos, the usual "funny moments" stuff, news, gameplay? Or even tutorials, tips, anything? I want to know if there's any gaps that people really feel that aren't being filled in the VR space.
Edit: I should've been more clear. I do not mean 360Β° videos on YouTube. I meant VR YouTube Content as in things like VR games, or anything on the topic of Virtual Reality (Headset, 3 dimensionally tracked movement, not just a viewing experience.)

Update: It took me about 21 hours to finally beat this game on normal difficulty (30-04-24)
This game is too hard for me even on the normal difficulty level, and there are also several bugs present. For example, in Chapter 5, the weapon interface glitches multiple times, making it impossible for me to switch weapons. In Chapter 7, it is possible to get stuck under the trees. Despite these issues, I'm still having fun.

For someone that owns both the quest 2 and the quest 3, and have used them quite a bit, for a beginner which one would you recommend? The quest 3 is way more expensive at more than double the price of the quest 2 but is it worth that extra money? Is there that much of a difference between the quest 2 and quest 3 which means I should certainly get the quest 3? Or is there only a slight difference which would then lead me to getting the quest 2 for a much lower price?
Hi, I'm doing a research project for university on VR and its communities and culture. attached is a small 12 question survey that I probably should've posted sooner but hey.
if you are interested please answer these questions as it will be extremely helpful for me.
it is a simple Google forms questionnaire and no data is gathered about you from this whatsoever (excluding data you provide in the answers of course).
I'm looking at carrying bags and Syntech's VR crossbody bag looks interesting, has anyone tried it out yet?
I'm a quest 2 user and after a lot of experiments i only use it for PCVR, mainly for Simracing. But after a lot of problems i just wanted to plug a cable and play like you do with your monitors, having sure they will never stutter or just shut down because of any stupid battery or wirelles connection issue...
I am asking something very specific here, and I can't seem to find an answer.
I use a Beyond, 3 FBT trackers, and a pair of knuckles. I have 4 base stations in all 4 corners of the room.
However, I seem to still have occlusion issues, specifically when I sit on my couch. I'll save you the long story, but I am near-certain that the issues are SPECIFICALLY occlusion related. Given that I spend a lot of time in VRChat, sitting in that spot and having tracking working correctly is disproportionately important to me.
So, I've considered getting a 5th base station, mounting it on the wall across from the couch, and pointing it down directly at said couch. A bit overkill, but should solve the problem.
So, my question is...if I were to do that, get a 5th base station, set it up, and use it...what exactly will happen? What problems could this introduce?
Gonna intersect a couple things people are gonna say really fast:
-It's not a reflection issue. Just trust me here. It's absolutely an occlusion one.
-I know that any one tracked item can only use 4 base stations at a time, and this will not improve my tracking accuracy overall. I am only looking to solve occlusion, so this is fine.
-No, I cannot re-organize the room to solve the occlusion. I've thought about this extensively, and doing so would create issues for the non-VR parts of my life.
Hello all, I am looking for a vr headset. I would love to know, which Vr headsets are the best right now? Money is not an obstacle for me, So, I want to you to recommend me best of best vr.
thanks in advance
Hello. For few years now I've wanted to buy a vr headset but it's always the specs or price stoppong me. Here is a list of what I absolutely must have:
Here is a list of things that I don't care about or don't want due to the cost:
Whole system must be affordable for what it offers and pretty recent, I don't want to pay 1000$ for 5 years old system with flaws. Also nothing that costs more than 1500$ for whole system.
So far I've used Valve Index, Oculus DK1, HTC vive and psvr1.
I've thought about Quest 3 but the "experimental" 120hz and problems with steamvr (many people on forums say so) stop me from buying it.
I've been also thinking about waiting for psvr2 support for pc games. I've heard some folks are trying to get steamvr to work with it. Considering the price it would be probably perfect.
Are there any decent headsets that fit my criteria?
I love vr and I'm trying to decide what headset to buy. Mind you, I'm coming from a oculus rift s. I was interested in the valve index because I heard the controllers are really good and so is the fov but I keep seeing people say it's old and to just get the quest meta 3. What are your thoughts? I won't ever play standalone nor am I interested in it unless the vr headset alone is better than the plug in vr headset. All my games are on steam and I play pretty much every vr game you can think of.
Hey! A while ago I bought an Oculus rift with only 1 sensor and the pill like remote, then I bought another with touch controllers and 2 sensors. The thing is I used the first one (and used the sensors and touch controllers from the 2nd one) and kept the second one for spare parts.
Today my mic died so I tried the 2nd rift for the first time and for some reason my display is wayyy sharper.
Were there any hardware upgrades to the touch controllers rift package from the first one with only a remote?? Internet says the rifts in both package are identical, but I can't seem to figure out why the resolution looks sharper.
Got in a tree around my university and was using a meta quest 3 in it.
Whenever I turn off my Quest 2, I allow it to update before turning shutting down. However, most of the time when I want to use it again a couple hours later, it is still updating and I see that the wifi is straight up turned off and won't turn on without restarting the device.
NOTE: This is not a problem with being disconnected but instead the wifi won't turn on at all.
A few years back we could agree about the high price of these devices, but today they had never been so acessible. I own a Quest 2, 3 and PSVR2 and love all of them. But in the gaming communities people gets angry when a new VR game is announced, why? It seems there's some narrative that VR = bad.
Most games on VR are in some level of immersive that none flatscreen game will ever be, even more when we talk about horror games. Why is so difficult to change the public opinion about playing on VR?
Is the quest 3 worth getting if I donβt have a PC?
Eleven Table tennis and Walk About Golf are two that I really enjoy for a quick solo VR experience. Looking for some new recommendations for games that are fun to jump into single player for short sessions.
