will probably be using my headset the majority of the time going forward instead of my monitor. have used/wore it all day for the last two days and haven't had any issues with comfort or anything. remote desktop is almost indistinguishable from my monitor aside from a very slight resolution difference (was using 1440p).but the advantages of having a screen that i can move anywhere and blow up to 10ft x 6ft are huge. the comfort of being able to sit back and relax completely while still having the one or several screens directly in front of me is probably the main thing. gaming is incredible and the screen filling the field of view gives an immersion i've never experienced with a traditional monitor. and then there's watching movies which also has a totally new level of absorption when everything is basically a movie theater, huge screen and everything else blacked out, and exactly at the level i want to rest my eyes at whether sitting up and laying back.my only prior experience with VR was with the Index and none of the issues i had with it are present in the Quest 3. the passthrough cameras are the default with more of an augmented reality style with icons and such floating in the room rather than when using Steam VR. also the camera quality is such that i can read and send texts with my headset on, drink coffee/eat etc. and of course it's totally wireless and without boxes and all the cords involved. i do however keep it plugged via USB 3 with a charge injection cable feeding into the main so it stays topped up. but i can disconnect anytime and everything continues as normal.and all of this is not even touching the surface of ACTUAL VR stuff which i honestly haven't done too much of. have Alyx still from with the Index and will probably crack that open. also UEVR to make any Unreal based game VR (granted with some limitation).anyone else as enamoured as me? no doubt the tech has a lot of room to improve but it's current state is pretty fantastic.
oh yeah i also never use the controllers.i just use the hand tracking for gestures and clicking/resizing and it's been more than enough
>>108360916VR is incredible and changed my life. I was bored of gaming, porn and movies. I was on the verge of giving it all up but got a cheap PSVR2 as one final try, and oh boy it makes everythign ten times better. 2D screens are dead to me now
>>108361012what are your favorite things to do in VR or what's your progression been like?need ideas for things to explore
>>108361081if you want to travel the world and see the sights easily, use Google Earth VR (its free) and Microsoft Flight SImulator 2024 for a better visual experience.for seeing the wonders of the Universe use SpaceEngine, also amazing in VR
>>108360916>>108360921>>108361012>>108361081>>108361091Very organic thread.
>>108361241its all bots man ... ALL BOTS!!!take your meds schizo
>>1083610818k porn, and more recently ai gen deepfaked porn. this is like wright brothers to landing the moon shit except its sears catalogue
>>108360916VR is dead and no one cares.
>>108361323yeah i can definitely see the need for 8k.i tried 4k on astrala and it's definitely an experience compared to just 2D, but the resolution made it feel scuffed.
>>108361331thats exactly what a poor person would say
>>108361323>ai gen deepfaked porndo you generate this yourself or is there a good download source?
>>108361351My MacBook Pro literally cost $3199 when I bought it.
I just want a very comfy and portable (within my house) programming setup.Would the quest with a bluetooth keyboard be good? Also can I use voice to text to talk to AI agents?
>>108361470>Would the quest with a bluetooth keyboard be good?Yeah just have to figure out power for going wireless>can I use voice to text to talk to AI agents?Yeah probably I haven't done it though. Headset has a microphone built in, and it can link directly with your PC and sends PC audio output through the headset. so figure input through headset to PC works too
>>108361470VR is for games, porn and immersive entertainment in general. It's not good for programming or any productivity setups.
>>108361514>It's not good for programming or any productivity setups.Remote desktop is literally just a virtual monitor. All it does is display your computer, and so you can do anything you can do on your computer. Multiple virtual monitors also works exactly like it does irl.Like 98% of what I've been doing has been with mouse and keyboard using a virtual monitor. I've barely touched any of the actual on board programs in the quest
>>108361544>so you can do anything you can do on your computerIt's much less ergonomic therefore it is bad for productivity.
>>108361566>It's much less ergonomicIt's mouse and keyboard, don't know what to tell you. And the fact you can move the screen however you want for any posture means it's extremely ergonomic; whether you want to be standing sitting upright, or sitting back on a couch with your keyboard and mouse on your lap with the screen exactly at your natural resting eye level
>>108360916i thought the same when I got my headset last year, used it for a week straight and then found it annoying to bust out and went back to using my pc, only use it occasionally to jerk off to something and thats about it
>>108361585Yeah, we'll see how things evolve for my usage. But right now it's insanely fast and comfortable. I literally just pick it up, put it on, and it auto prompts me to connect to PC. Probably 10 seconds between the headset turning on and me looking at my desktop, and there's no physical setup it's already plugged in and hanging out next to the Tower
>>108361602fair, my headset has to sit in my closet so its already a pain to get, and then i have to deal with a bunch of vr bullshit trying to get it to connect.... hopefully you enjoy it more
>>108361624Yeah having it all plugged in ready to go is a huge boon, and the main thing I love compared to the index with all of its bullshit. This is just a USB 3 port running to the quest
>>108361637lucky, i might need to get a cable since its already a pain connecting. its annoying that the charging cable they sold isn't also a data transfer cable but its whatever i guess
>>108361649I use this. The charger plugs directly into that little box and the cable carries the data from the computer and the power from the outlet into the single port on the headset
>>108361580>It's mouse and keyboard, don't know what to tell you.You can't tell me anything that I don't know. I had VR for like 7 years now and I know what's good for and what it isn't.>fact you can move the screen however you want for any posture means it's extremely ergonomic;You generally spent insignificant percentage of your time adjusting screens when you do anything productive.
>>108361680>I know what's good for and what it isn'tAnd yet you don't seem to understand that a virtual monitor and hard metal monitor are nearly identical, with the discrepancies being in the advantage for the virtual display. >You generally spent insignificant percentage of your time adjusting screens when you do anything productiveExactly, but you can if you want to. For instance adjust your posture after an hour or so. For instance say you want to stand up and keep working. It takes almost one second exactly to pull the screen up to eye level. And then you can work again until you want to change posture. Or you could just sit at the desk and work for however long you want and the display will not move from that spot
>>108361720I want to sit on a recliner with my split keyboard and voice to text like Star Treck. Unironically.
>>108361732Yeah you can absolutely do that
>>108361732The Star Trek vr game is pretty good with some friends, don't know how many randoms still play itWhen's the new Steam VR headset coming out and have they announced a price yet?
>>108361776>When's the new Steam VR headset coming out and have they announced a price yet?Comes out in 2026 with price estimates between $600 and $900
>>108361379all locally genned on my 5090 but its people i know irl so i can't share unfortunately
>>108360916enjoy accelerating your myopia progress
>>108361720>And yet you don't seem to understand that a virtual monitor and hard metal monitor are nearly identicalThey aren't. The resolution just isn't there. Also having a decide strapped to your face all the time is hardly ergonomic.>Exactly, but you can if you want toBeing productive is about finishing your task, not about adjusting monitors.
>>108361800valve said they have no ram to make steam machines, $900 is the minimal price
>>108361402>applefag Nobody cares about your opinion on tech. If apple marketed a VR headset to you, you'd beg for it
>>108361880MacBooks are the best laptops currently available. You have no competition. Regarding VR headsets, I wouldn't buy it regardless of what Apple wants, I didn't buy Vision Pro either (well unless it was extremely cheap)
>>108361855How old are you?
>>10836189530
>>108361892>MacBooks are the best laptops currently availableImagine actually believing this. Apple really are genius marketers. People truly believe that Apple invented touch screens.
VR is a bad idea for work, the text clarity is awful. wearing it 8 hours a day for coding will just fuck your eyes up very quickly. VR is for entertainment in short doses only
Can you stop replying to yourself?
>>108361900Post a better laptop, preferably one that doesn't use the dogshit x86 architecture
>>108361900It’s not a belief. Your 16GB thinkpad gets spanked by the Neo.
I want someone to copy the best parts of the Steam Frame but make it only focused on PCVR and a wider FOV. I figure one of these companies like hypix or whatever will do it within two years.
>>108362157It's already focused on PCVR, how would you make something even more focused? Drop the wireless capability and use a cable?
>>108362184Disable the ability to run games on the headset itself?
>>108360916Tbh $500 is basically chump change. Everyone should have one of these especially when the alternative is $3500.
>>108362227How would that improve PCVR capability? It's not like having the feature on the side makes its PCVR functionality worse.
>>108360916Let's be real. Nobody buys these except to watch porn. And that's just sad.
It's shit.>blacks are just gray>big black borders limiting your fov so it doesn't even feel immersive>steam vr always fucking disconnects from my quest 2 if the game takes more than 3 seconds to load assets or something, which force closes the game and restarts the entire process>can't wear for more than 30 minutes at a time without eyes hurting>there's still zero fucking games for itI'm convinced all VR shills are paid for because I am failing to see how you can enjoy it at all.
>>108361929Yeah and sitting too close to the TV will make you blind LOLOL
>>108362558Being able to run things on the headset alone adds weight, bulk, etc. I think anon wants basically just good VR goggles with nothing else on the headset. It would be lighter and maybe cheaper that way.
>>108362561Projection.>>108362564Sounds like a personal problem, anon. I play my quest 3 for hours, usually standing up the whole time and have an empty room in my house just for VR. If you're just playing shit while hunched over in a chair, and if you're weak or fat, then VR isn't for you.
>>108362558It wouldn't improve its capability but it would make it more "focused on PCVR"
>>108362636You're not reading text on a television. You straining your eyes trying to read text on a VR headset's shit resolution is definitely going to negatively effect your eyesight.
>>108360916i've bought 2 quest 3's and honestly kind of regret it. I barely even use it these days. I originally bought it to just get drunk in VRchat but then figured out if I need to get drunk to have friends i'd rather have no friends at all.
>>108362643I think it just adds cost more than anything else. You'd still need pretty much all the hardware to decode the video stream, display it and handle the camera-based tracking. You might be able to use a cheaper SoC and with less RAM and less storage, so it would be cheaper, but I don't think you'd really remove any components outright if you gave up on it being able to run games.>>108362685I guess so, technically you can just remove features without improving the main use case in any way and it would be more "focused."
>>108362564>Quest 2>Eye problemsYour fault for buying the cheapest shittiest headset
>>108361808does the tech exist that is aware of stereo videos? so it generates stereo video that's consistent and it doesn't create weird effects where the image for each eye doesn't match?
Going to give my 10 cents on the topic. I am very happy with my Pimax Crystal OG, its my 5th headset and the only one thats actually worth keeping and no need at all in the near future to upgrade from. I run it from a RTX 3090 and I only use it for viewing movies on virtual desktop converted into 3D in real time. It was the reason I bought it actually, I use this program called Owl3D for that and I just love being able to convert ANY content in real time into 3D, it was a game changer and the only reason I kept the headset. Its not something to use for longer periods, you will "feel" its not good for you, but a movie here and there its amazing. Also viewing youtube content and being able to view it in 3D is sick, the possibilities are endless. So after I realised I can convert content into 3D in real time I spent a lot of time looking for a software to upscale videos in real time. I found this firefox/chrome addon called "Nexvid", so now I can convert any 1080p or 1440p into 4k also in real time. Sadly my RTX 3090 cant run realtime upscale + 3D at the same time (without major screen tearing and lag) but thats obvious. I cant see any need what so ever to get a higher resolution than 2800x2800 which I currently run, I dont even max it out to its potential unless I view a 8k VR Porno thats 60gb in size or similar, anything less looks like garbage vs 90% real. Hope these tips/recommendations will help people, desu I can never go back using Virtual desktop without having Owl3D converting into 3D in real time. And if I didnt found out about that software, Id probably sold my headset already, now its a keeper. Btw I had to buy all comfort mods for my headset and add 300g of weight on the back of it, before that it was unusuable.
>>108364498holy wall of text, excuse my lack of spacing.
>>108364498thanks will look into Owl3D>had to buy all comfort modsyeah i got a new faceplate for better FoV and replaced the straps with pic related. insanely better
You always see posts like this when people just get into VR but there's a reason why most headsets are collecting dust. The novelty wears off and you realize 99% of content is better viewed on a flat screen.
>>108364762>99% of content is better viewed on a flat screenonly applies to shit content, if a game is good and has a VR mod there's no point plaun ut flat
>>108361331Steam Frame will fix that
>>108364762>99% of content is better viewed on a flat screenagain, virtual monitor. shit hovers wherever i want and at whatever size or distance and is nearly indistinguishable from my 1440 monitor. there's no latency, stuttering, nothing. it's just like having a regular display. everything i was doing with my regular monitor i'm doing with the virtual monitor, because that's all it is.literally talking to you right now using it.
>>108364762there's an app for flat screen shit
>>108364805>if a game is good and has a VR modThere are more good games without VR than there are VR only and VR modded games combined. >no point plaun ut flatYou are regressing. The gimmick of VR wears off eventually and you realize the game is simply better played flat. There are a small handful of games that actually utilize VR in unique ways but they aren't worth buying a VR headset for. Which again, is why most headsets collect dust.>>108364907>>108364939>virtual monitorThing but in VR doesn't make thing better. Looking at a 1440p monitor is better than looking at a virtual 1440p monitor because I don't need to wear a screen on my face to see it.You can always tell someone is new to VR when their first response to "content is better on a flat screen" is "i can flat screen IN VR TOO". Nobody using VR for any amount of time says that because they already know it's inferior.
>>108365284>they already know it's inferior.i already know that as well, it's a trade off.and the advantage of the virtual monitor (being able to put it anywhere in any posture, being able to pull it close for gaming, being able to watch movies with blackout surroundings) far outweigh the disadvantages.at least for me, i'm sure different people have different tolerances but it's pretty ideal
>>108365284flat is for boring shit or to make content for VR, if a game has a VR mod I play it in VR to see how the size compares to real life, or create a gaussian splat to see the real world scale of the game
>>108360916You're stuck on Android. It's e-waste.Get one of those Chinese sunglasses instead. You can just plug it into your Linux laptop and instantly have nvim strapped to your face.
