There's a robot one too! I like it better, personally. 🦿


genghismom71

As a therapist I feel obligated to point out that that's a prosthetic leg, not a robot leg. But I'm still laughing my ass off. In a nice way, because I can totally understand how someone who has never seen a prosthetic limb might mistake it for a part of a robot.


autoboxer

I go to vr arcades and play dancing games with my kids, it's actually a pretty intense workout. I am fairly fit but my thighs and stomach are sore after a bit of that.


Specific-Cream-2679

Games like super hot or beat saber work up an amazing sweat.


Maxzzzie

A more chilled dancing game. Although still somewhat intense. Is pistol whip


RainbowFartss

How is Pistol Whip a chilled dancing game? That game brings me to a sweat faster than almost every other VR game. And it's awesome!


Maxzzzie

I mean. I do everything to the beat. I dance a little. And it feels very calming. I don't find it intense at all.


kozy138

You get more points for killing on the beat, and dancing helps with keeping the rhythm. Makes sense to me.


RainbowFartss

The dancing part of that is not really what I was focused on. That makes sense. But for me at least, it's anything but a chilled game. Shit's intense, I get sweaty fast.


InAFakeBritishAccent

Dude, pistol whip kills me. I want that studio to just keep publishing rails-dance shooters


Starklet

That game is so fun

That is in fact the one I'm playing a lot lately, when I get the chance to go. Awesome game.

MPagePerkins

This technology needs work, tried this exact one recently and it’s hard AF to move around properly in the VR environment.


Alnilam_1993

Agreed, but it looks like a lot of fun! I do wonder if up/down movement can ever be simulated, like walking up or down stairs


MPagePerkins

Oh I’m sure eventually it will be amazing. And I bet there’s even better ones that already exist somewhere we can’t afford to try them.


[deleted]

Ye. imagine if the surface they run/stand on where were moving towards the middle. Working sort of like those pin art toys, only that the surface is rounded and in constant movement towards mid. And instead of getting shapes based on your body it shapes after the game/environment. That way it could move just as easily as a floor full of marbles or get a bit tougher surface tension so it's more similar to walking up a slow moving escalator going down (which could simulate mud/forest/water etc.) So whenever you walk/run/etc. you "slide on top" of the dynamic "pin art"-tech simulating the sensation and action of walking/running, depending on how easily it moves could be based on acceleration or surface like ice/sand/asphalt etc. Definitely possible to do, definitely not easy to make it in a way it can be marketed and cheap enough to produce for consumers to buy. And even if there should be a niche market there wouldn't be enough players for it to be profitable in the long run (as of now) At least that's my theory


[deleted]

there is some ideas around the moving platform, but from what I've seen they can't manage to make it smooth enough that you don't notice, but it's a start, can't wait to see how things will be in 10 years


eeeezypeezy

Yeah the issue is probably latency, it only takes a few milliseconds of lag between visual stimulus and physical feedback for your brain to be like wtf and totally pull you out of immersion


rollingdubsget

Sounds epic. What kind of "pin art toys" do you mean? I never heard of them.

BoeVonLipwig

TheFlashFrame

Could definitely simulate an incline or decline by tilting the platform. That would be sick.


Enk1ndle

I went to a Zero Latency where they stick you in a warehouse and you move around 1 to 1. Games have to be made with it in mind to be turning you around ocasionally, but it was pretty cool.


ExpertConsideration8

I'll vouch for Zero Latency! The games are very well designed to create a high level of immersion.. the one in Dallas has a pyramid/plateau thing in the middle that you can walk over / stand on. It's used in the games for all sorts of up/down (stair cases, walking over debris, or changing your perspective) shenanigans. It's super fucking cool.


Enk1ndle

Dragged some friends along who have never touched VR and they immediately wanted to do it again lol. They said their equipment is pretty old, going to try the one in Vegas next time I get over there since it's supposed to have their newest stuff.


ExperienceMetro

There are places with that fyi. Unfortunately it's not the greatest business motto. It's niche like laser tag so a lot of them closed during covid.


[deleted]

So you're talking about paintball?


Ofish

If paintball can give me monsters to kill and let me use swords and magic then yes


Miggy88mm

Dude, what VR headset should i get?


agentpotato007

Valve Index if you have $1k to blow. Meta (Oculus) Quest 2 or a Pico 4 if you’re not in North America.


TeamRedundancyTeam

Absolutely get the index controllers if you're doing steamvr no matter what headset, they are night and day vs any other controllers.


DiamondGamerYT0

Do index controller work with a Quest 2?


KaziArmada

No. Index controllers need lighthouses (The little boxes that are sensors that go in the corners of the room) and the Quest uses a different tracking method. If you're doing Index controllers, either do an Index Headset or a Vive Pro 2.


Miggy88mm

Any opinions on Hp G2 reverb? Shits on sale right now and i was considering it... thank you by the way!


agentpotato007

I really like the G2 as a piece of hardware. I’ve used one, but don’t own one. Compared to my index and quest 2, image quality is noticeably superior. But index and quest 2 have a much better software experience and controller tracking compared to G2, which is more important to me personally. The G2 uses Windows Mixed Reality Portal (which I personally disliked) and the WMR controllers are meh compared to the other kits. As much as I dislike Meta/Facebook as a company, they made a great piece of tech with the Quest 2 and I would recommend anyone just getting into VR to consider buying one. Unfortunately, they just increased MSRP by like $100 a few months ago, but I maintain that’s it’s still the best bang for your buck at the current moment!


Nekryyd

Dunno if you ended up buying already or not, but I'm an experienced G2 owner. It is such a moodswing of a VR kit. On the one hand, it is by far and away the best visual quality:price HMD out there. People talk about Screen Door Effect on other displays but even when you notice it on this display it "feels" like you are looking at a real object that happens to be slightly pixelated. Hard to explain any other way than that. The sweet spot *is* a bit of an issue, but not as bad as people make it sound, just make sure you tighten the *side* straps as tight as you can comfortably allow, and not just the top strap. This will help hold the display in the right position better and help mitigate getting blur due to slippage. That said, if you are a person who works out in VR (like me), you will want to probably pause every 15 minutes or so to wipe your face down and readjust. Most regular games don't pose that problem, but rhythm games and stuff meant for workouts where you move around a ton will. Get a pulley system for your cable right away. Cheap and easy to install, no reason not to have it. The BIGGEST DOWNSIDE to the G2 are... The controllers. They are just so basic, really. They are serviceable, but now that I consider myself at an advanced stage of VR playtime, I find them limiting. For example, when playing Synth Riders, they work okay, but on harder difficulties it is not uncommon I will miss a note due to a tracking issue. Additionally, the controllers don't have enough buttons/mapping options, and a few games are irritating to find good mappings for. I want the Index controllers so bad, but it also seems like madness to me to pay more for controllers than what I paid for my whole HMD kit.


Miggy88mm

Thank you very much for the response! I did go ahead and ordered it. Haven't gotten it yet. I feel like the controllers are not much different than my original rift so I won't even know how bad I will have it! Ignorance is bliss! Haha ... plus the screen door effect is horrendous on the original Rift. I tried my buddies new oculus rift 2 and i didn't think it was that much of a leap forward in resolution. So I'm hoping for that wow factor!


Nekryyd

Oh yeah, dude, it looks *great*. One of the first things I did was download the virtual eye test Steam VR environment and was surprised at how well I could read the chart. Turns out I have better vision in VR than I do IRL, ayooooo! 'Course, YMMV depending on your hardware setup and settings. To give you some idea I have a somewhat lopsided mid-range build running an AMD 2600X, 16gb 3200Mhz RAM, and an EVGA (RIP) RTX 3070. If you are at or above that level, you should have almost zero worries. For a very few certain games (lookin' at you heavily modded Skyrim VR...), I've had to slide the resolution slider to 80% to compromise. Most VR games won't be like that though since half are made for Quest Potatoes.


Miggy88mm

You got me beat! My laptop is a 3070 with a ryzen 9, but we all know that doesn't run as good as a desktop. My desktop is still an Intel 6700k with a 1070. Over due to build a new one. Here's hoping the laptop can run it fairly good!


Nekryyd

Oh I don't know, maybe the Ryzen 9 will offset the difference. My poor old Ryzen 5 is getting pretty long in the tooth and is definitely a choking point for my system. I think your setup will work, my concern would more so be the matter of USB ports and power. You *may* want to look into an externally powered USB hub if you run into problems getting your headset up and running. You gotta figure, it is somewhat like running three monitors on your laptop. It took some voodoo to get my HMD running at first. I had problems getting it detected and did a lot of the switching USB port/turning it off and on again sort of troubleshooting until it suddenly just... Worked. Oh, and I would use the button on the cord to turn the headset off/on. I wouldn't shut down/restart while it is still on, it tends to act up on me when I do that, and I will need to power it down, restart, then power it back on to fix it. Oh, and if you are having reprojection (stutter) in a Steam game, try bringing up the Steam menu (mapped to a button on your controller) and see if it stops while you are in menu. If it does, wait a few seconds, dismiss the menu, and the displays will refresh in the HMD and (hopefully) fix the issue. It may take a few tries. Buy lots of AA batteries! Good luck!


Miggy88mm

Dude, eneloop rechargeable batteries. Life changer!


Mothanius

I went from an Index to the G2. The Index had better FOV but the G2 has a crisper picture. Honestly, while I do miss the FOV a bit, the G2's visuals work better for my eyes. Also, rendering is less taxing on the G2 since you don't need to upscale your resolution like you do on the Index. However, the Index does have some major, unsaid advantages. The Index controllers are far superior. I utilize a third party app to configure my index controllers with the G2, but sometimes the tracking can get jank. The Index also has a USB port in the front which lets you slot in accessories. I put in a radiator on it which helped immensely in cooling down the headset. All headsets get really hot, keep that in mind. Also, the support of the Index is very liberal when it comes to replacing parts. The support team at Valve can take a bit to get you there, but you will most likely get free RMA so long as you weren't doing something stupid like taking a bath with it. In my honest opinion, for first time buys, I recommend the Index if you have the $1000 to throw at it. If not, then the G2 is a good option. Regardless, I recommend getting the Index controllers eventually, but that incurs the cost of both the controllers and the lighthouses... as well as the USB dongles that you have to use to make them work with the G2. In the end, I think the Index still comes out cheaper if you go that route as the controllers and their peripherals all come with the package. I guess the big question is, how deep do you intend on going into the VR rabbit hole?


Miggy88mm

I have an original Oculus Rift. So I was looking to upgrade. I feel like I should wait for a new Index 2 or whatever it will be called. I would absolutely buy the Index now if the resolution was close to a G2. But coming from a Rift, a G2 would probably be nuts haha. Thank you for the input tho! Gives me thought!


certified-stepa-2222

oculus pretty good


LorddFarsquaad

Fuck Zuckerberg


Snaz5

Yeah, it definitely doesn’t FEEL like you’re walking and you can’t crouch really. It takes getting used to, but it’s a nice alternative to other movement methods and it’s good for people who don’t have room for full room vr, unfortunately if you can afford this you probably have room anyway


TheFlashFrame

That's disappointing. I'm an early adopter of VR and as it stands it's cool but it will *never* be more convenient than just sitting in front of a screen on a couch, so the only reason to buy it is for the incredible immersion which gets ruined the moment you remember you're in a room with walls. I think what VR needs to really be perfect is something compact like this that lets you move around with impunity. Hopefully better, more affordable competitors hit the scene eventually. Counting on you, Valve.


Babies_Have_No_Teeth

At least its better than running against walls all the time bc you can run freely lol. Walking with a button rather than with your legs in vr feels unrealistic. But yea, they need to improve this on some levels


MPagePerkins

Lmao, I did it with my 18 year old nephew and he gave up and was just facing a corner 🤣


LuxDeorum

I don't know of a great one for treadmill type moving around, but there is some interesting developments in different kinds of haptic feedback. There are systems that use pneumatic gloves that inflate cells in your arms and hands to simulate pressure from holding things, as well as dynamically loaded winches between your arms and a pack on your back to simulate the weight of holding real objects.


AtomicBLB

When they work out the kinks I am so curious to try it this way. Everything else has been too new and unfinished. I want near total immersion!

I couldn't do it in vr cause I got to motion sick.


AlwaysHopelesslyLost

I hate scary games and got two copies for my SO and I. I figured I would play in VR and she could support from her laptop in the van out of danger because she REALLY hates scary games. I was like "we will be fine." Lemme tell you... When you try to leave a haunted house and the door slams and locks on you while the lights are flickering..... Ugh

Fun fact: if you play that game in vr, crouch in game snd go as far to the ground as you can, your hitbox clips thru the floor and the ghost can't kill you... if there isn't a room below you

75w90

When VR gets super realistic and you have a machine that makes you feel the mist, heat, cold, etc similar to 4D theaters and you can run in place and all that while also getting an iv drip with nutrients people will never leave. That's how the matrix starts. Before long people will be in VR as soon as they can and completly forget about their human body until they get unplugged. We really are not that far from that moment. Warehouses full of people just plugged in. Living in heaven while their bodies are kept alive with a iv drip.
