I heard numerous bugs of compatibility of oculus with steamvr. I can see why most rift players would rather use oculus store version to play.

Is it because Oculus Home can launch games downloaded from Steam.
Haven't tried it yet but can SteamVR launch games downloaded from Oculus store?

Anyway, the same game on Steam (using MYR) is priced cheaper than on Oculus store (using USD) so unless its Oculus exclusive game, better buy on steam.

Sry i dint elaborate.
Both store may sell the same game, launched from their respective platform.
Somehow steamvr isnt very optimize of rift yet.
When i first bought my vive, steamvr does not support the oculus rift.

Bt for us, it is cheaper to buy from steam, instead of oculus store. Not to mention it maybe a safer investment incase we want to switch to a different VR in the future (steam vr supports wmr, vive and rift, and pimax)

Got it for a little bit less than retail. So far I loved it. I'm not often play games on it, mainly use it for watching movies and series on Plex. The fact it runs on Android and able to run 2D apps is awesome.

I live in Sungai Petani, so anyone who lives near and have an Oculus Go and want to try Mirage Solo can come and meet me. Will be back in Malaysia end of October.

Alternatively WMR also have some interesting updates and ads u can consider.

U sure u wanna use oculus go? Bcoz its 3dof, and lower fps(than most hmd) it is more likely to cause motion sickness?

1.2k can buy ye a windows Mr headset with controllers (assuming u have the pc to run it)

Yes. I think my pc should be capable to run vive or rift. So wmr also should work fine.

TBH, main purpose for buying vr headset is for media consumption, mainly 3d movies and vr porn.
I didn't plan to play any vr games, not much of a gamer.
Maybe some light gaming.

Is wmr a better choice than go for my purposes?

Way better to go with WMR. Go is just a mobile vr.

Wmr is a better choice in terms of resolution and extra functionality. There are alot of cinema enviroment to watch movies (alone or in groups). There are quite a number of VR prawn experiences (try youtube)

Compared to oculus go, it has less portability as ull need a laptop/pc. I have a samsung gear vr which allows me to watch movies on flight... Although it may result in me akwardly looking at my neighbour with my vr headset on as the plane slowly turns during flight.
My main concern with this device is battery wear down, and non upgradable parts. My gear vr using gs6 is now obsolete to limited apps only.

If ur going for oculus go,and if u can afford, get the larger storage. My regret was not having enough storage as the OS itselfs takes up storage and most 3d movies are large in file size.

yeah. i thought of getting the 64gb. 32gb is too small.

but SBS vr porn usually more than 10+gb in size.
and oculus go do not support ntfs (added with no external storage support yet), so can't even put them large files inside internal storage.
I still gonna have to stream from my pc which makes portability with Go also limited, same as WMR.

another thing to consider is long term store investment. oculus mobile store is limited to oculus mobile device. steam also provides regional pricing which is cheaper. also "free version" are widely available for steamvr apps.

i just check, wmr gen 1 seems to halt production, likely preparing for gen 2. the current wmr hmd are being sold at near dirt price now from their original pricr.

So far wmr does seem like a better choice.
Quite a few wmr models, time to read more.

What I read is there're reason why those cheap WMR are cheap. Samsung Odyssey WMR is also WMR but is not as as cheap as the Acer/Lenovo WMR counterpart. From reviews, the main factor that made it cheap is the screen. Example, cheap WMR have smaller screen (Acer WMR only 2.9" compared to Samsung's 3.5").

what i meant was these manufacturer are selling cheap now to get rid of stock.
eg, amazon lenovo stopped restocking lenovo explorer. dell visor has announced no more stock and refunded their customers order. they have announced their device as "end of life."

Anyone facing blurry screen using HTC Vive?

I understand that display resolution is a bit low - no problem. But my display is quite blur to the level that I cannot read any text, including the SteamVR Home, or, menus.

For larger texts, I would be able to roughly guess what it says. For example, Steam VR Home - the wall which says "FRIENDS" or "RECENTLY LAUNCHED"


I have tried adjusting the IPD knob and the distance-knob near your ears but they don't help at all.
I do have a little myopia at around 300 and play without glasses.



Edit-
I guess it’s due to myopia. Any idea if there’s anywhere in Malaysia that develop VR lenses?

at 300 myopia, u definitely need to wear glasses when using VR.

Unless the glasses you're using is very big (as in the frame), else you can easily wear glasses when using the Vive. I have no problem using VR (Vive or Oculus Rift) with glasses.
