I think this is retarded, but at the same time genius. What do you think, is it good for the VR market?

"As seen across two announcements, Skydance Games states the game will be released digitally on December 5 "with the PC VR experience available through the Meta Quest Link Cable on day one." The studio also mentions that "additional PC VR platforms" will follow at a later date."

Hey all,

I've been meaning to put my master rig onto a linux distro but I'm antsy about switching off of Windows because I own a Quest 3 and can only play games through Meta's stupid Link software, even though it's wired. Is there a way for me to use linux to hook up my quest 3 to my PC and stream steamvr to it?

Hi everyone,

I went ahead and got the Pico 4. This is my first experience with VR and while it's has been amazing I am a little underwhelmed with the experience. Is it normal for me to be able to see pixels? It looks like I am sitting close to a 1080p screen. I've also noticed that Youtube is limited to 2160p and 360 videos look absolutely terrible. I have premium youtube am I missing something here or did I set my expectations too high? Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a VR game for about a year now, and I’m starting to hit a wall of burnout. Recently, I’ve been doubting whether my game will actually be engaging enough for players. I'd love to get your thoughts and feedback to help me refocus or make improvements.

The game is set in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. The player takes on the role of a lone survivor of a mysterious plane crash, finding himself in a post-apocalyptic world filled with environmental hazards, abandoned places, and hidden secrets. And now, your primary goal is to find a way to escape from there. It’s an adventure game where you’ll explore eerie locations, solve puzzles, and uncover the mysteries behind the Chernobyl disaster. There’s a strong focus on atmosphere, immersion, and storytelling rather than combat.

Instead of just throwing endless puzzles at the player, the game’s challenges revolve around obstacles that require a series of logical, sequential actions to overcome. There’s also an inventory and crafting system, where you’ll need to collect everything you see around you since it might be useful later. I’m also designing the obstacles to be non-linear, allowing players to solve problems in multiple ways.

From the very start of development, I was inspired by Return to Mysterious Island, and I had the idea that a similar game could be really interesting in VR. I’ve been looking for similar games on the market and found only a few successful ones like Red Matter 2, Wanderer, and The Room series. I’m trying to add elements of horror and action to my game, but I still wonder—are puzzle games in VR actually engaging, or did I choose the right direction? Would you play something like this?

I’m attaching a few screenshots to give you an idea of what the game looks like. I’d love to hear your honest opinions about the concept and if there’s anything I could do to improve it. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I was thinking about getting into VR as most of my friends are now getting into it too. My idea was to get the Meta Quest 3 as it is right on my budget, but I'm worried my PC specs are not enough. Can someone smarter than me give me an idea of what performance I should expect?
Initially I intend to play sim games such as racing (F1) and flying (DCS), but I play a lot of different genres so I will certainly play all types of games on it. Should I get a lower tier headset or focus on updating my computer?

My specs:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz, 3600 Mhz 8 CPUs

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 OC 6GB GDDR6

MPG Z390 GAMING EDGE AC (MS-7B17)

HyperX Fury Beast RGB 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16 DDR4

(Any questions regarding my specs in comments for more info are more than welcome)

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

Our team is exploring the incredible potential of VR to enrich higher education. From immersive simulations in medical training to virtual laboratories in engineering, VR is transforming complex learning into accessible, hands-on experiences. Imagine students navigating intricate molecules in chemistry or analyzing historical artifacts up close without leaving the classroom.

Which other subjects do you think would be ideal for VR integration to enhance student engagement and understanding?

method: quest 2 & steam link.

games: Jet island, half life alyx, Space pirate trainer, no man's sky VR.

specs: System Model TUF Gaming FX505GT_FX505GT Laptop, Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU, graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, 8GB of RAM.

i have a very low budget as i'm a teen, so please try to keep suggestions on the cheaper side of things.

I bought a second hand oculus rift but it only came with one sensor. I’ve ordered a second one but it’ll take nearly a month to arrive. Is there anyway way to force the controllers to connect so I can use them while I wait?

Ever since I got my Quest 3, using the default cloth interface would genuinely start to feel like it's burning my face and leave big red marks, so then I got the AMVR upgraded facial interface, same thing would happen with the cloth on it too, even though the cloth is seemingly soft to touch, my face will turn red and burn from it.

And only until I put the faux leather add-on from the AMVR facial interface did the pain stop, sure it feels sticky at first, but I can comfortably use the faux leather for a long time without it leaving red marks or any burning pain.

Am I having some specific allergic reaction to it or some other reason? I've seen other people complain about this too.

We need a game similar to Left 4 Dead in VR. Would make for a great multiplayer addition to already successful zombie shooter games but you can also play as specialized zombies.

The list is always up to date: QuestStoreDB tracks the Meta Store automatically.

It is based on data from Meta API, and not manually checked, so I can't guarantee that all games have MR, but from what I see most of them should.

p.s. you can find more apps on QuestStoreDB: there are filters to get a list of apps of your liking :)

So what even happened in this game ?

I thought that at some point there would be a reveal, that yeah your character is absolutely nuts and that he killed his wife or caused her death or couldn't protect her and wasn't able to cope so he was still chasing her in the metro and hallucinating her and people played along to not trigger him. Many times he has visions of himself as ghengis khan sacrificing his wife and in one of the conversations with the lady on the radio he says he is mad at himself for what he did to her and when she asks what he did he just says he shouted at her because she was talking about hearing ghosts and stuff and she responds something like "maybe you aren't a lost cause after all" and I thought it was eluding to how he killed her and that since he at least knows he did something to her and felt something about it he was making progress or something. I thought she was kinda trying to make him realize his wife is dead, like some kind of nurse, but couldn't outright say it or he would go psychotic.

Later on you see the lady as a ghost and you reunite her with her husband so my theory didn't really work but then what even happened ? Are ghosts actually real and we can hear and see them or is our character nuts ? I mean, I think he at least has to be a little crazy, some parts are way too nutty like the part where you keep going in circle back to his room but it never is confirmed what is real and what isn't.. like did he really reunite his son with his wife ? Is it supposed to be left for us to interpret or did I miss something or couldn't read between the lines or it's really just that yeah, he and his wife were never crazy and they can hear and talk to ghosts and there's some weird worm that eats souls in the metro ?

I also had a theory that the poisonous dart one of the cultist guys shoots at us had some kind of hallucinogenic or psychosis inducing drug and that is what caused the weird stuff to happen, they would have also shot the crazy guy that kept talking about worms and your wife and would be taking it themselves as a kind of ritual and that is why they worshiped the worm. They would basically shoot people with it so they can hallucinate the worm and then recruit them in their cult.

Anyway what is your interpretation of the story ? Am I trying too hard to make it not supernatural ? What was all the stuff about ghengis khan ? Was it just related to that time when his wife had him hypnotized and he had flashbacks of it or was he actually the reincarnation of ghengis khan or did it have some other meaning ?

Edit: I forgot to mention but I didn't read any metro books or played other games.

Interesting features:

1. Not for sale sign
2. Glossy case
3. Blank serial numbers
4. Different box

Judging by the serial number on the box, I have copy 28 or 8.

I really hope it gets funded because we need more consumer-focused hardware. Right now, only bHaptics is selling the Tactsuit, but it uses generic rumble motors. With Skinetic, there are voice-coil actuators which provide much more realistic feedback. And they say they're working on bHaptics compatibility, so it will be competitive in terms of the amount of games you can play with it. It's also cheaper than the high-end Tactsuit.

The company did another kickstarter for this, two years ago, but it failed. Just like last time, if it doesn't get funded, you get your money back. Actronika is involved with big companies so they're not a scam like DecaGear/Megadodo

If anyone's wondering why I'm shilling this product, no, I am not affiliated with Actronika, but I think it's a missed opportunity to not have this product funded as it will serve as competition for consumer VR haptics.

Oh btw cringe warning for the kickstarter video. They're not some out-of-touch crypto scam, but the tone-deaf trailer might make it come off that way 😭

so i cant really afford to get a vr headset, but I can get a google cardboard and connect to steam vr using ivry, I also heard you can use kinect for full body support but I only need it for my arms and I also have 6 xbox controller sitting around the house (2 xbox 360 controllers, 2 xbox one controllers with no Bluetooth, and 2 xbox series x controllers) and was wondering if I could use those as the controllers ish, like use half of each controller

Two dumps of the complete collection of Virtuality games for SU2000 and SD2000 have been released on archive.org. Has anyone attempted to reverse engineer the custom files they used for textures and models, to convert them to more commonly used formats?

My boyfriends ONLY wish for Christmas this year is a VR headset. I have no idea what so ever about VR and his only description of it and why he wants it is to “play games” so that’s really all I can give you guys. Preferably 250$ max price limit. I know he would love to be able to do like fighting/boxing games and he likes story mode games and stuff if that helps! Just really looking for some good brands he would enjoy. The more research I do the more confused I get that’s why I’m coming here. I really hope this post gets some views! Thank you.
