Just got my oculus.
>Inb4 he fell for the oculus meme
Jokes on you, I accidentally preordered 2 (PayPal credit), and I'm selling the second on eBay. Already up to $850 bid, and I've got 4 days left.
>Inb4 op can't inb4
Things I've noticed, so far...
>vr software, at this point, is more like a bunch of early beta concepts, than fleshed out games, but still fun. A bit like using the Internet in 1998. Large potential for fun, but it's not quite "there" yet.
>oculus is extremely well designed, and touch will make it all the more fun. Still, version 2 will likely be the definitive vr device, especially if GPU technology catches up.
>no overbearing advertising (or any advertising, outside the market) on oculus, yet. Facebot seems to be keeping their noses out, at the moment.
>vive chaperone system (I've demoed a vive) is brilliant, and the motion controls are extremely fun, making vive the better device at this very moment, but steam vr is pretty shit, compared to oculus home, and the device feels even more like a dev concept, than oculus. Once touch comes out, vive may just be in trouble
>360°works in oculus, but I can see why they would want to limit things to 180°. It's easy to get tangled up in even the single cord of oculus, much less the 3 binded cables of vive
>streaming vr porn is shit quality, because the sheer filesize. downloaded vr is better, but it's pretty much exclusively pov, and there's very little variety. It's good, yeah, but if vanilla pov doesn't sound like your fetish, it's not worth it for the porn... Yet...
>no good vr waifus yet, but I expect them soon, especially as more people pick it up
>vr sickness isn't much of a concern, but eye fatigue is
>virtual desktop is based as shit, and should be the first thing you install. With some development, it will be truly great.
Questions? Experiences? Ideas for programs/ gaymes?

Oculus is finished after the new walled garden pr disaster
I hope Valve actually released more HMDs instead of just losing interest and doing noting again

Hi Kinder (:

Ayy, which /g/ Discord bro could it be?
That you, bunu?

I don't like that oculus is doing things this way, but I can understand why, from a developer standpoint.
I'll put it this way. There is alot more garbage on Steam VR than oculus store, at the moment, and the ui is miles better for the platform. For the average rich kid who's new to PC gaymen, oculus store is 100x more user friendly, and if they want the platform to succeed, this may turn out to be a smart move.

I am so fucking happy I dodged a bullet man.
Was expecting $400 pricetag, hesitated the moment I saw 780 USD without motion controllers.
Decided to wait a bit to see what Vive had to offer and got that instead.
I thought vive's motion controllers would be far worse than touch but boy was I mistaken, the trackpad is amazing.
The only major gripe I have with them is the tactile side grips, they really fucking suck, would've preferred a dual stage design like the trigger protruding a bit from both ends instead.

I assume there will eventually be 3rd party controllers once more people have it
Lighthouse is an open standard after all
>>54666904
yeah that's what I have been hoping for. Would be amazing if someone could throw in 3D haptics like:

SteamVR also needs a lot more work too, had so many issues with it lately.

Is the Galaxy S7 Edge the best mobile phone for VR currently on the market? Looking to get a mobile VR headset and I'm looking for a phone to go with it.
