Welcome to /vrg/ - Virtual Reality General
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_izvAbhExY Edition

>What is virtual reality? What is a head-mounted display?
Just read this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality
A head-mounted display (HMD) is the headwear responsible for creating a VR environment
>What VR HMDs are available right now?
This general will focus on the enthusiast-level of VR, and doesn’t cover the widely-available methods of VR (ie. Google Cardboard). For enthusiast-level HMDs, the popular ones are: Oculus Rift and HTC Vive
>Where can I get one? What games are there? Can I ride a dinosaur? If I die in VR do I die in real life?
I’ll just specify what this general is meant for:
Asking/Answering questions people have about VR.
Talking about VR experiences.
Meeting other people with VR in VR.

Now for the nitty-gritty
>Where is the porn?
Check out /t/’s catalog and search for “vr porn”. While you might not like the website, /r/oculusnsfw is a good start for that stuff. This is a blubord, don’t post pictures or think that discussing these types of things is a good idea. Keep it to a minimum.
>Where are the games?
Mostly Steam. Link below
>What else?
I’m thinking about making a steam group thread. Would you be interested in a /vrg/ steam group or do you avoid chan groups?

Hopefully that’s enough information to get the thread going. Here’s some links.
HTC Vive: https://www.htcvive.com
Oculus Rift: https://www.oculus.com
Steam VR catalog for Vive and Rift: http://store.steampowered.com/search/?&vrsupport=101%2C102

/vrg/ threadly topic: What online games have you been playing?

I'm curious to see what the physiological effects would be?

Can't imagine it'd be any worse than playing regular video games.

I've heard claims that people have had more vivid dreams after using it for a month or so, but I've had mine since may 5th, and the only memorable dream I had was being able to fly... But that was only a couple weeks after use, and since then I haven't had much else worth mentioning; if anything at all.

>>143921623
are there any games to be hyped about? games right now are so bad, they're all simulators and whatnot that gets boring after 1 hour
>>
>>143934735
Budget Cuts has a demo out right now.
Raw Data looks like a fun VR coop game.

Those are the ones I'm looking forward to, not much else, then again I haven't been doing much research.

Thank God Sony jumped into the VR game. Most of their shit is timed exclusives, and those games look seriously good.

>>143941635
I am 80% sure that people will need the new PS4K/NEO/whatever to use PSVR.

What I think will happen is that OG PS4s will play VR games at 60fps with interpolation, and PS4-neos will play them at 90/120fps native.
