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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

HTC Vive and Oculus both have same resolution, not sure about Vive, but Oculus you have option to increase image sharpness by increasing supersampling in Oculus Debug tool, this is possible as long you have enough juice from your GPU.

In terms of tracking, Vive uses laser tracking system while Oculus uses camera tracking system. On paper, laser is more accurate.

yup, other than price, another key reason is no killer app yet. Or I should say, hard to market VR without getting people to try it.

So far I think only Beat Saber gameplay video manage to grab people's attention.

Others gameplay video didn't get to translate the actual level of immersion the actual gameplay so people can't really get hooked until they put the HMD on.

Because gameplay videos only manage to show 2D video, the sense of immersion is not there.

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.

Hopefully we start to see more of it in commercial use. Here there's already some companies I've met adopting it, selling large size medical equipment using VR to showcase the equipment, bringing property buyer to go through virtual show unit, etc.

anywhere possible to try out Samsung Odyssey or Acer WMR?
Or any user here own it and willing to let me try?

Finally gave HTC Vive a proper run at The Pantheon One City.

The hand controllers are much heavier than Oculus Touch, can really feel fatigue after playing few rounds of Beat Saber. Good for working out the hands I guess.

Headset sponge is softer than Oculus Rift and have full coverage, this means there's no gap at the nose part, which improves immersion. Oculus Rift assumes everyone are ang moh with big nose thus the gap. However for me I prefer the gap, atleast I can still use keyboard, look at my phone, check my monitor for error message without taking off the Rift.

Vive have more than 1 cable running to the headset compared to Oculus of only 1 cable. Don't know is it due to the extra cable or purely the weight of the goggle but Vive is noticeably heavier than Oculus.

Didn't check the rates, I went during an event where they open free to play to all visitors.

Played a few rounds of beat saber and felt like I done a wrist workout. Oddly satisfying though.

Playing beat saber in an Omni Platform feels weird though.

Any Rec Room player here?

looks great, without cable, without sensors, really promising.

However its not mention does it fully support PC games (since it says its a standalone like Oculus Go which doesn't require PC), it only mention PC VR games will be ported over, but how many and is the quality the same?

Assuming latency isn't a problem, my number one question is, is it a wireless oculus rift or is just something in between Oculus Go and Oculus Rift.

And at the same price point as oculus rift, maybe the rift will get price cut.

just realise they say it's a standalone unit like Oculus Go.

So is this an upgraded Oculus Go with positioning tracking function. (catered mainly fot mobile gaming)

Or is this a wireless Oculus Rift. (catered mainly for PC gaming)

I quoted "Zuckerberg also promised that many PC-based VR games and apps will be ported to the Quest".

So for me, its still unclear can Oculus Quest support all VR compatible (can be played with or without VR, like sim racing) PC games or will it only port over VR exclusive PC games (eg. Beat Saber).

My guess is, Oculus Quest won't work with a PC. Games will be ported over but it can't be used to play games installed on your PC. Reason being, I don't see how to wirelessly pair it with a PC without a transmitter (like TPcast).

Plus, they mentioned 64GB, meaning games need to be loaded into the device to run, not run from PC and transmitted to the VR.

Curious...

Haha yes this makes me more excited than Oculus Quest.

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

oh tq, added u.

Since Samsung Odyssey has higher resolution than standard Vive and Oculus Rift, does it need more juice from GPU to run at the same FPS?

SteamVR will try to guess SS and apply accordingly, SeamVR also allows you to manual override by forcing all games to run at specific SS or even set specific games to run at specific SS.

When I run RaceRoom (a VR compatible racing sim), the auto SS that SteamVR runs is awfully low, had to manually set games specific SS for it.

Also, noticed that SteamVR SS overide Oculus Debug SS. So regardless of what SS amount used in Oculus Debug, if steamVR SS not manually increased, the SS would still follow auto SS set by SteamVR.
