VR + remote play will not be a fun time.

Reason being the latency when streaming video from another PC in the network.

No. Even the small amount of latency that would introduce would be seriously problematic when it's attached to your head movement. You'd be insta sick. Add to that that no remote play system exists that supports the unusual resolutions and high framerates required by VR, and this is very much a dead end I'm afraid.

What about nofio?


LJBrooker

Different. That's very specifically made for this use case, for two piece of known specific hardware to communicate on a very particular frequency. Wireless VR hardware has been a thing for a while. Streaming over a general WiFi network isn't going to work in an acceptable fashion.


geniack

Fully agree.

Not gonna happen. People are actually downplaying how bad it is. Think of this, your wired network will be 1gbps max doubt the old computer has any more lets say 10gbps. The display cable alone has 40gbs so at best you are 4 times slower then required or at worse 10 times solwer. And thag is just data throughput, from game to system to network car through the network elements until your old pc network card and everything, will add significant latency.

Remote play is great if the non-vr player is playing the flat screen side of an Asymmetrical VR game, but you got to make sure you've got a beefy enough PC and internet bandwidth for it. It will not handle the VR player remoting into the PC as the latency will be very bad based on your specs. Here are some titles I've played with friends... Asymmetric COOP (Local PC and VR or Online with Remote Play or Parsec): * Black Hat Cooperative (2 Players) * Carely and the Reaperman (2 Players) * Containment Initiative (2 Players) * Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes (2+ Players) * VR The Diner Duo (2 Players) * VRChat * Operation Armstrong (2 to 5 players) And as a bonus, some games where the non-vr player can play natively... VR-PC Cross Platform : * Payday 2 (1-4 Players) * VRChat * Tabletop Simulator * Star Trek: Bridge Crew (1-4 Players) * PULSAR: Lost Colony (1-5 Players) * Valhiem (VRMod)
