I think the most stable option is still gear vr (or google day dream). The cardboard options just isnt as good without a proper hmd taking some of the load off the phone.

Duno... Bcoz of these items are not sold in malaysia.. Not many ppl use it.
How much was the rift with the third sensor in total?

Im actually using the vive. Read bout hassle of multiple usb 3 ports and smaller play space of rift. So decided to go wif vive that time.. Also rift wasnt that cheap yet.

Perhaps we can meet up in one of the metaverse later.

actually some off the oculus apps are cross platform like recroom. if not u can always use steam. just add me in rec room.

but oculus has the advantage of also using steam vr if u prefer. i do hear some limitation as steam is afterall bias to vive but its not significant.
vive official app store is literally crap.

I'd recommend we purchasing games on steam as prices there may be cheaper than the oculus app. also with microsoft hmds using steamvr.. there will be a greater pool of players in steamvr

Where did u get that avatar?

U should try explore rec room more when u get a chance. Steam statistic shows rec room has the highest population of player, followed by arizona sunshine.

I do have problem finding reliable team mates on rec room sometimes.. Probably coz im a lil shy there.. But most of the senior players there are really friendly.

I normally TEST vr games too.. Will share with u my sources if u want.

i believe the pimax4k does not have tracking on its own..
unless he purchase an additional NOLO?

but i understand the reso is so high, its quite immersive and mind blowing

=_= disqualified...

just curious what gc are u using?
also was there any drifting of the headset?

yeah i heard drifting was an issue with most hmd without someform of external tracking. pimax was notorious of that esp when ur keyboard/ controller remain in the same position.
ghost seems to plaque high res hmd. i guess we cant have everything.

i was wondering what gc u were using to keep up with that much pixels.
u mention u choose pimax mainly to watch 360 content. do u use any 360 cameras atm?

hey i have a friend who wants to get a vive. but with the recent pricr drop, considering the rift instead. how well does the rift's tracking perform? i heard rumors that it cant track fast hand movements.

Yeah we read bout some ppl getting away with 2 senso for room scale by positioning them opposite each other. Not sure how reliable.

Some games require quick maneuveres. Eg rec room jumbotron, players will dual wield guns and throw one up mid air to reload the other gun on hand.

So far only seens vive players doing it smoothly. But not sure if thats coincidental.
Its also commented in soem forums, vive has more efficient tracking but not very specific bout it.

He s planning to get it direct from amazon shipment. Total 2.6k with third sensor and shipment.

Thanks for ur experience. Hw far are ur sensors apart?

Thanks for the advise. Was about to ask bout any major issues with rift too. Vive controllers are notorious with touch pad defect and/or squeeky controller after short use.. Bout 50% of the vive controllers are reported defective and even with warranty service may only solve the problem temporarily

Any major issue with rift on ur side?

Hey! One of my controller is squeky now. Just curious to what extend did u blow ur touch?
Also how does the rift work out so far for u?

I don think there will be cheap 2nd hand atm. The price of vr headsets have dived to nearly 30-40% compared to last year.
Also there will be issue of lens scratches and controller scars...
Plus hygene is also an issue.
But i guess depends how tight of a budget u have.
U could get a windows MR for 1.5k wif controllers.

Oculus has access to steamVR store aswell. It can access most of the apps.
But u must know Oculus rift is only 180 degree tracking unless u purchase the additional 3rd sensor. Wiring may be an issue as each camera needs to be connected to ur gaming rig via USB 3.0. Also not that Oculus runs a close system. They can kind of remotely disable ur oculus rift.

Vive on the otherhand is wireless except for the headset. but price is expensive(if im not wrong, its due to the lithium batteries in the controllers). Also note that vive has issues wif their defective controllers(but DIY repairable).

There are also the Microsoft MR headset and PS VR to consider.
My personal opinion, get either the Vive, Oculus Rift WITH 3rd sensor.
If ur on a tight budget, then u can consider windows MR hmds.

Experience in VR is incomparable to anything atm. I have the Vive and love it.

Atm the only official local VR headsets are PS VR (and gear VR)
i would recommend ordering one from amazon and pay the tax. Ordering from lazada or 11street would be the same but with the higher price and no warranty. The seller basically buys from amazon and resell it to us for a higher price

I was told amazon now quotes the complete price at the end including the neccesary malaysian tax. It will be displayed before finalizing payment.

Which hmd r u intending to get?

2.4k is a good deal. I think amazon would cost 2.7k myr wif 3rd sensor.
more so with steam support improving..

i think steamvr hardware survey shows oculus the majority now in Steam.

Obviously its just a reference.. But the numbers was not as such previously. Also real numbers of rift may be higher as not all oculus rift users use steam.
The rise in rift users after its drop in price and not to far apart in performance from vive.
Htc vive poor customer service may also affect this.

So which hmd r u using?

Im using the vive and lenovo explorer.
the Viveport is kind of a dead store. very limited choice and steam sells the same game cheaper too and can be shared with other devices like rift and wmr. i can say almost 90% vive users dont use viveport.
And SteamVR primary supports Vive for all VR apps. Rift and WMR support are optional for developers.
So its safe to say.. SteamVR = the ecosystem of vive.
the oculus rift store has more VR games than steam atm. although numbers are getting closer. some of us vive user use this addon called Revive to play oculus games.
WMR echosystem is <50? which majority already found on steam. Unlike Viveport which is optional to run, Microsoft WMR forces users to start in WMR app everytime headset is plugged in.
