Holy crap that game is so cool. Yeah I've decided to get the rift. Shopee seller gave 1 year warranty so I'm getting that one

Yeah i wanted to play that game too.
Maybe ill install revive and play it later.

I like how rift manage to have such a nice promo ad

Let us know when u finally got ur vr hmd

Oculus Go is like a standalone Gear VR without the need to purchase a Samsung flagship phone. Its somewhat compared to a perfected google cardboard VR but the lack of positional tracking makes immersion limited and may even cause motion sickness. Because of the limitation of a mobile hardware, i cannot run high end VR apps.
200 usd for 32gb and 250 for 64gb. I do not recommend  32gb bcoz good VR games would take a few gb. and ull also wanna space to store movies/series inside (assuming ur gonna use it for travelling).
Battery and cooling will be a major issue in these type of device.

the Rift games require GTX 960 (gc being the bottle neck in VR apps) with decent processor and ram. that being said, u can always lower the supersampling and activate asynchronous spacewarp.
but tbh unless u really want a portable VR without using a PC/laptop, i would still recommend to just go for AWMR or Lenovo explorer, which atm claimed optimized for GTX 1050TI and above.

Hi there guys. How are you? I'm into photographs and video productions and is planning to venture into 360 videos/photos via HMD. I'm hoping to obtain some suggestions from experts in the field for the HMD and laptop.

The HMD will mostly be used for viewing and experiencing immersive 360 high quality videos and photographs. Additionally, I would also like to tryout some VR games particularly Beat Saber.

My current budget is around 8k - 10k and I'm considering to get the HTC vive + Alienware 15 GTX1070. Do you think its overkill for such usage? A high resolution and smooth play of video with HMD is my utmost priority.

Thank you!

However only the HMD need USB 3.0, meaning the sensors you can plug into normal USB, meaning if not enough USB, a cheap USB hub is enough for the sensor to plug in.

WMR on beat saber works fine for average player. but i do hear it problematic at high difficulties. i tested the game out abit. its more lime a fun demo.

just a side note: WMR requires an excellent bluetooth adapter for the controller to work. otherwise an additional usb for bluetooth adapter and maybe extension cord is needed.
wierd why wmr diny put it as their requirement in their ads.

yup both my sensors are on normal USB 2.0, no problem tracking my constantly swinging arms playing beat saber expert mode. 

Haven't really tried it on RPG or first person shooter games cuz too much time spent in virtual race car 

Say, if really worry tracking will be affected and want to prioritise the sensor, we can always plug other USB device such mouse, keyboard etc into USB hub so that sensor can plug direct to motherboard's USB slot instead.

yup exactly, and its hard to tell people how real VR feels like unless they really experience it themselves, because no videos or gameplay recording can translate the 3D VR environment that player feels when being in VR.

Being a CV1 seller, people often compare or ask me is it as good as Samsung Gear VR  . I tell them, this is so much more than Samsung Gear VR.

have anyone tried hook 'em up with PC?

Used 1060 6GB should be around 1K or below now since mining no longer profitable but at the same time your 1050ti also will drop resale price.

Rift disadvantage is only the camera need to be tethered to PC. Other than that Rift is good.

Aiming to try out RTX2070 when Rift2 is out. Tired of waiting without any news.

Then at least rift revision with virtual link and hopefully no longer require tethered camera as sensor.

Wireless vr = should be expensive with latency limitation

standalone vr like go very limited in performance but works for social vr and media

I'd drop a 2080ti, but I think I'll wait for Vive 2 or Oculus Rift 2 announcement first.

New HMD is pretty immenent with the USB Type C/VirtualLink availability in the new gpu.

Me and peenutt. But im not sure if he is still does.

I have one used vive for sale used less then 5 times, bought 3 months ago. 1.8k

Mr.PeeNutt FluffyTee what's ur username in Oculus?

Is Oculus Quest the official name for Santa Cruz? Interested in getting this. I'm currently using Mirage Solo.

Unfortunately, yes. But of ur gc is able to handle it with at least 1.0 ss, it would anytime be more resource effective than using a rift/vive with higher SS.

Also wmr dev has been trying to improve their motion temporal reprojection. Its quite choppy, and i personally prefer using async and interleave reprojections.

Just to clarify terminology to avoid confusion. Resolution is fixed regardless of app. Steamvr will try to guess super sampling and adjust accordingly during play( im not sure bout oculus).

Wmr claim it can support 1050ti gc. But not sure to what extend.
Fyi even a gtx 1080ti with i7 cannot maintain full frames during rec room rec royale.

In case anyone wanna replace their Oculus Rift's foam padding
