Hmm are u familiar with the term screen door effect(sde)?

Just googled about it. Yeap, understood what is sde. WMR far lesser SDE ?

For me, i use lenovo explorer.
The sde is barely noticible.. However the lens hyperfocus the center as well.. This would be problemic if yr ipd is to far from 6.3 cm. It also uses lcd screen hence u will see glow in dark games/app. Color is also abit washout(u wont notice this unless u tried samsung odyssey or other hmd.)

Vive sde is noticible. Its line playing while wearing a beehive protective helmet. There is also more noticible god rays. But both of these are always forgotten by the player once the game starts.

Tracking in wmr is really bad but usable.. I have to constantly remind myself to keep my hands infront like a t-rex. Otherwise it will be reminded for me when my hands fly out 2 meters away, thus giving out my position in competitive games.
Vive hand tracking is well worked. And always forgot im in VR in the vive but not in wmr.

Have u tried vr in any vr arcade?

Have you try FluffyTee play Beat Saber on WMR ? should be ok right?

For gaming laptop..yes WMR i think is the best option. You only need 1 USB port and no need power plug like Vive.
I prefer Oculus Rift but the Rift you gonna need 3 USB port. If fully 360 tracking need another 1 more

But the Alienware 15 wif 1070 cost almost RM8k woo. If you choose Vive sure more than 10k

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.

hey you the guy selling the Rift everywhere
really can use on cheap usb hub? have you test on any 360 fast paced game?
i plug into 2 usb 3.0 another 2 sensor on usb 2.0 pci-e expansion card


yup suppose WMR have a built-in BT or any wireless connection from the headset like Vive and Rift

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.

Racing game only need 1 sensor i'm not hardcore on racing game la.
Only have Logitech driving force gt and no proper cockpit.

I'm bringing in TPCast Oculus Rift wireless adapter for corporate use. Hopefully the latency is not noticeable. Anyone have/tried it before?

I'm also looking for ways to adjust Oculus Mirror's FOV so that spectator's FOV (on the TV) can be wider.

Not really noticeable. 5-7ms mostly the latency. The claim that it is just 1ms is pretty bs tho lol.

Samsung Odyssey or rift? Samsung got the highest resolution among all wmr right? Rift seems cheaper according to shopee.. anyone bought from there before? Ubuy seems cheaper, anyone bought from there before?

I think both are ok and it boils down to which game u play.

Its easy to always go for the higher resolution one when just comparing hardware, but remember compare software too.

Remember to compare the games you intend to play, whether supports WMR or Oculus Rift. And the general support from the community when comes to troubleshooting etc.

Itchy to get my own Vive... Only around 2.5k now, but kinda scared if they release a new one. Not talking about Vive Pro but maybe they will release something better, Pro isn't good enough for an upgrade if you had a Vive. Not even worth the buy either it seems.

Maybe Oculus will release a new one soon? Sounds good to wait. I'll just be satisfied with PSVR for now.

2.5k from which website? I also dilemma between rift and samsung oddysey. I thought vive still 3k so not taking it in haha. But most probably go with rift if i should choose between vive and rift because not so much space in my room

Considering that the HTC Vive is out of stock at the htc website in the US, there's some likelihood there'll be a new one eventually. Or the Vive Pro prices will drop to the old US$799 (including accessories) from the current > US$1k price...

I've had the HTC Vive for almost 2 years already, still enjoying it a lot. Highly recommended if you don't mind spending the money and already have a GTX1070 or faster.

Find at Shopee, pretty cheap Vive and Oculus there, and has good reviews. Legit like conversion rate of our ringgit and no extra cost like other sellers. 2k for Oculus, 2.5k for Vive. I wouldn't go with mixed reality hmd btw, there seems to be some issues with it regarding games, for hassle free get a Vive or Oculus, works without any issues.

Yeah the best thing to do is probably wait a little longer. Vive Pro isn't really for consumers.. shit cost 800usd, and does not even include the controllers or base stations which should be at 1.1k usd in total.

Mine is a 980ti, should be good. Maybe there is even a cheaper deal for vive, than I might pounce. Will see if I can last till a never one comes out, or Oculus v2.

Next gen Oculus have lots of new and advance feature such as the new display technology that they're calling the “Focal Surface Display" with realtime focus-adjustment.

This kind of tech won't be out so soon, earliest would probably be end 2019, and I don't expect the price to be at the same range as CV1.

As much i love my vive, watching HTC as a company losing money every year is scary. their poor customer service makes it worst.
On the better side, vive is very establish with alot of customization (soft ware and hardware accessories). tracking was said to be slightly better for the hands. partly because its inside out (in contrast to outside-in for rift, hence data from each camera needs to be sent to the PC and calculated).

Im not sure if the current absent of GST and SST would affect the vive or not. I know Vive cannot be directly bought from overseas due to the build in lithium batteries within the hand controllers.
only those with removable batteries can go through Malaysian customs (from direct online stores).

I tried vive before. Kinda able to see pixel and no too clear for me. Maybe is because using gtx 1060. I heard rift have better resolution while oddysey have the highest resolution for now. Anyone know where i can try oddysey in malaysia?.
