there's sideloading feature so not all have to buy from Oculus Store.

I assume there won't be any fogging issue as the nose gap provide plenty of room for air circulation.

What I'm really interested to try for the Quest is local streaming steam VR games via local wifi network. Anyone here who owns a Quest manage to try it already? Is the latency playable?

No fogging so far from my gaming sessions and I pack my hmd very tight against my face to get better fov.


Anybody know anybody that will do this mod in Malaysia including the required parts? Though it seems "pretty easy" I'm not someone that is comfortable doing things like these...
FrankenQuest mod

my friend from casualgamer.my have done Frankenpimax on his pimax 5k before.. but this one using 3D print adapter..
the method by MRTV using velcro strap should be much easier..the only problem..u need to buy the Vive deluxe audio strap tht cost around Rm600

Hi, I plan to get a HTC VIVE as a first time VR, do you guys recommend it ?

Btw is there any shop/place I can try out VR HMD before purchase ?

Plan to use it for Sim Racing haha.

Can try it at TMT (Thunder Match) lowyat.

I'm a fellow sim racer who race in VR too.

Apart from selling Oculus VR, I'm also official reseller of HTC Vive. I'm having a demo session for a couple of clients to try Oculus Rift S this Saturday evening at my shop in lowyat. Feel free to drop by if you interested to try as well.

Do I recommend HTC Vive? Well, feel free to PM me for my personal opinion (and more specifically how suitable it is for VR sim racing), I can also share with you a detailed comparison between the major VR headsets out there (I've tabulated it for easy comparison).

Hi, where is your shop name and location in lowyat ? interested in trying.

PM-ed you the details already

Lenovo Explorer WMR.
Can I join the club?
BTW any suggestions on VR games that use gamepad(xbox) or Leap motion while 'm waiting for my WMR controllers to arrive?

Sure..welcome..welcome

Some games that i knew to work with xbox gamepad:

racing game (Dirt Rally, Project Cars, Assetto Corsa),
flight/space sim (Elite Dangerous, Everspace, Ultrawings, Aerofly, DCS)
First Person (Robinson: The Journey, Batman Arkham VR, DOOM VFR, Skyrim VR, Eagle Flight, Serious Sam VR, Subnautica)

Tried Oculus S and it is comfortable for only 15 minutes but after that. got super headache and nausea. My IPD is 71 and the software IPD didn't help at all. No issue with Vive when trying it. But the Oculus S screen is much better screen, once used oculus S screen, cannot go back to Vive. With HTC vive I can play for hours without nausea (Loaned a Vive from a friend for a week haha _

So my dilemma is this when deciding what will my first VR headset after trying both Oculus S and HTC Vive:

Oculus S

Pros:

1. Cheaper
2. Higher Resolution and Clearer Image.
3. Not noticeable screen-door effect unless I specifically look for it.
4. More conformable on the head, feels lighter.

Cons:

1. Lack of IPD adjustment make me sick after a short while. (Some people might not experience this).

I guess I most probably get the Vive as there is no point have nicer screen if I want to want to vomit every 15 minutes. Hope the HTC Cosmos will b a hybrid of both S and Vive.

Anyone here owns a HTC Vive Pro, wondering if it is a worth price difference of RM3k compared to the normal Vive.

Anyone ordered VR set from Amazon before ? Is it safe to do so ?

What is your opinion on Samsung Oddessey Plus ?

RM1.3k++ After shipping based on the link above.

That's quite a deal! I might gonna go for this, have eye-ing a while for good promotion.

Ya, I am tempted , but it's from overseas so I am skeptical abit. Scared DOA device...I always bad luck when ordering electronic stuff online. DOA monitor, motherboard, ram, and GPU before...need send warranty the next day

Interesting. I assume you are one of those small group of people who would have their threshold for motion sickness somewhere between 80Hz to 90Hz.
It was believed that 90Hz was the "balance" cut off point so most ppl don have motion sickness. At one time, PSVR insisted 120Hz as well.
Oculus Rift S took a risk by lowering theirs to 80Hz

I think it's more on the IPD rather than 80 Hz. With Oculus S I need to focus more even with the software IPD adjusted, If I stop focus the screen became very blurry. So eye's will get tired quicker and then the nausea comes in.

With Vive I can just set the IPD to my IPD and just look at the screen normally , can last hours without the urge to puke.

Anyone have experience with damage to the HMD due to sweat ?

Been reading some forums and seems some of them will die because of condensation of the sweat to the screen.

Anyone interested?
I am in US.

my wmr controllers finally arrived but my zotac mini gtx 1060 6gb dying.....

ahould another mini gtx 1060 6gb?
cm elite 110.

hmm a GTX 1060 6gb is like the entry level gc for VR. its still usable in all games. but may have limitation with games released next year. Obviously buying anything better than this punches a bigger hole in ur wallet.
I guess it comes down if u can get a good price for which ever GC.
