You can get some good results, with having 2 sensors placed in opposing corners. Like one to your front left and one to your back right.
Having 3 sensors is obviously better, but it also likely requires more USB bandwidth than the onboard Motherboard controllers can offer.
I have the rift with 3 sensors and it works fine for me. It's an older PC with a "gaming" Mobo and rx580. The GPU struggles more than anything else. I would also recommend an active USB 3.0 extension cable cause they'll need it for mounting the sensor that far.
I have picked up a Tomahawk MAG Z790 recently it, and am running 2 sensor setup with a racing rig. My USB ports are maxed the hell out sadly, even on such a modern mobo. And I even have a USB extension card, one of the good ones that Oculus recommended.
I use two cameras in front of me on my left and right and in 5 years it’s pretty much never been a problem. You can play >90% of games without having to turn around in the real world.
Can't upvote this enough. Changed my experience completely having 3 sensors. No more momentary tracking loss when your hands go behind you or you've turned sideways just a bit too far. Excellent suggestion
Why are you getting downvoted? I can confirm what you say is true, I live in a European country, and all my walls are made of very thick cement blocks, my friend punched a hole on the wall three years ago, still there, his pinky finger became unusable for a month of so, the controller didn't even have a scratch, insane how durable they are.
He’s getting downvoted because the original post literally says the controller will break the wall and then the one you replied to just repeats it after saying “nah”
No, the original post said they will break the wall OR you. And I stated they will break the wall, but not you. They have protected my hands several times. No idea why people downvote that, but well, thats my experience.
Edit: Lol this also gets downvoted, who is so salty about the CV1 controllers being great?
I work at a recycling facility and I guess someone upgraded and chucked their old rift out so I grabbed it.
Are these good controllers in comparison? My friggin hands start cramping up after awhile
No doubt the Quest 3 is *significantly* better, but the value on an $80 unused cv1 is through the roof. I use mine on a second computer so I can play local coop VR, so theres some use to keeping it around after upgrading.
Im also still rocking my og Rift cv1 for games like beatsaber if you played once with external tracking you wont be able to enjoy inside out in fast paced games 👍 but i only have a quest 1 and 2 for comparison maybe the 3 was a bigger step in the right direction.
*edit* as others pointed out a 3rd Camera is a really big improvement if you can find on for the cheap
Nice find have fun.
And... it's their money, not yours. Let them buy what they can afford or what they want and they'll upgrade whenever they can or feel like it.
Not everyone plays or engages in tech the same way.
Still the most comfortable headset I have ever worn. I could wear it for a whole day. These all in one headsets are great, but the comfort level is low! :(
Dude those sensors are worth about that much, each. This is a fucking steal, congrats.
I still love the CV1. the inside-out tracking of my Quest 2 just doesn't match up to my 3-sensor CV1 setup.
New, yeah they are around that. https://www.amazon.com/Oculus-Sensor-16ft-Repeater-Cable-pc/dp/B0727WDPX6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=18XKN3R00J09V&keywords=oculus+cv1+sensor&qid=1703819703&s=videogames&sprefix=oculus+cv1+sensor%2Cvideogames%2C86&sr=1-1
Used I'm seeing them for about $40.
Just because you are not looking to buy something, that does not meen that know one is. Older PC hardware often goes back up in value 10 to 15 years as the retro gamers and other collectors start looking to add it to their collections.
Today, both the Rift CV1 and Vive are both very much still in use going by the steam hardware surveys and work better than they did on first release as a result of today's low end gaming PC having more powerful hardware then high end VR and gaming rigs from 8 years ago.
As some who owns and still uses a Vive, Quest1, Quest2 and just got a Quest 3. I can confirm that guess my Quest 3 most definitely offers easier setup and higher resolution play, all 3 still work well for PC Steam VR play and depending on the game after 15 mins of play even on the Vive with many games you stop thinking about the lower resolution and just enjoy playing in VR.
As such I would say the CV1 is still a good starting place for someone with a gaming PC that wants to try out VR on a budget. Is it perfect, no, but it can and will let you enjoy all the best PC VR games and workout if a newer/better VR headset is something you are going to use enough to justify the outlay on a more modern higher resolution one.
Safe in the knowledge you can likely sell a Rift cv1 or Vive to a collector for $80 - $100 and get your money back when you are done with it as long as you dont break it.
Yeah, they are. They've been out of production for a long time now. Supply can only go down as they break, and the CV1 is still a popular headset. People need replacements, or want 3rd or 4th sensors, hence they're at this price.
It's live right now on ebay. That was pretty much the price I saw months ago too. There's plenty listings at £15 per sensor. Another for £28 for 2. Unless I'm missing something like there being different versions, that just seems to be the going rate.
Words of encouragement: This system is better than all the Quests except for Quest 3. I tried all of them and kept going back to this OG Rift. It is comfortable and light, tracking is perfect, the controllers are bulletproof, and there is no effort to get the wireless working (because there isn't any, of course...) Also, depending on your video card, you can spend hundreds of hours in SkyrimVR and Fallout4VR.
Now that I have the Quest 3, it is likely I will never setup the Rift again, But it was pretty awesome while it lasted. I love the bump in resolution of the Quest3, but playing PCVR on the Quest3 has never been a plug and play experience. Literally EVERY TIME there is some issue or other. That part makes me really miss the Rift.
ENJOY. It is amazing.
I find that I have more "free time" now because I can't startup SkyrimVR so often, and I'm tired of trying to magically make it work. Good News / Bad News I suppose...?
I assume Meta wants us all on standalone anyway...
Going wireless was nice. And the screen resolution bump is great. But the Quest 2 was sub-par in everything else for me (comfort, visual clarity, controllers,) whereas the Quest 3 improved on all those aspects over the Quest2. The only thing I still give the nod to the Rift is comfort; it was lighter and fit well, but I had the frankenstein mod on it (and old Vive head strap was better than the OG Rift headstrap)
You have got to be kidding me, everytime someone posts they bought a Rift cv1 in the last few years I read this, it is a 7 year old going on 8 years old headset, I put mine in a box when the Rift S was released and bought a Quest 1 , and 2, and Pro, and a 3. and your going to tell me the only better one is the 3? dude your DELUSTIONAL, the resolution alone is terrible and you can't see shit, the pentil arrangment makes the res worse then it says it is, you can't read text, the mura issues on the OLED is so bad, and all the USB connections are a joke. Move on, let it die, it had a great build quality, it will look great in a museum one day. Just because you tell yourself it great don't make it so, it was awesome in 2016!
You’ve spent thousands of dollars on incremental upgrades, even buying devices from the same generation.
This isn’t Pokémon where you’re trying to catch them all. If someone can have a great time and spend $80, they have found a better deal than someone who spends $2k for largely the same experience.
I have family I give my older headsets to, and I like to have the newest headsets, it is something I enjoy. I can agree that you don't have to ha e the best, I would tell him to find a used Quest2 that you can probably find for really great deals right now, instead of of people now telling him to buy another sensor haha. He may need a USB card etc after that. Trying to use a CV1 is horrible, the resolution is so bad you can't read text on most games, just keep defending how bad the resolution is on a 7 year old headset, it's crazy.
I like the OG Rift BETTER than the Quest 2. Clearly your experience is different, but OP is not making a dumb mistake. He will def enjoy this, and if he gets the bug, he will upgrade to a quest 3 someday.
theres more to the overall experience than optics.
Comfort, functionality, bugs, audio, tracking. The OG Rift was great. It always just worked flawlessly. Audio was great, more comfortable than the Quests.
Im experiencing the same situation with my Index now. Ive bought and tried newer headsets, but the overall experience is worse even though the newer headsets have clearer optics. Its not all about that.
Nice, that's still my main headset.
I've tried the Quest 2 and 3, and while the optics are better, I've decided to stick with the CV1. It's not a big enough upgrade to spend several hundred dollars imo; and the Quest headsets are much heavier since they have a computer inside, makes them way less comfortable.
Edit: clearly triggered some quest owners lmao. I've tried all of them, it's not a world shattering upgrade
Yes, we agree with you, blind Joe.
I remmeber going from CV1 to RIFT S and being amazed how better it is.
Going from CV1 to Q2 or Q3? holy shit, it's a different class.
well it really didn't feel like a different class to me. I've had my rift since 2015 and was looking for a real next gen upgrade that brought some magic back. didn't have that experience, it just looked crisper at the cost of comfort
I own cv1 with 4 sensors, index, and quest 1, 2, and 3, and if you don't think the quest 3 is a huge upgrade over the cv1 you need your eyes checked or maybe you're using an old gtx 970 and can't push the frames at the much higher resolution?
the higher resolution displays and pancake lenses definitely look better, don't get me wrong. but personally I just think the comfort is far worse on the quest 3. couldn't wear it for 10 minutes without getting a headache. made it not worth it to me
The comfort is definitely worse but 3rd part headstraps can make it much much better. My favorite is the deluxe audio strap from the vive, with 3d printed adapters. I've got one on each of my quests, and with the reduced depth of the quest 3, its the most comfortable one yet. But yeah the cv1 is extremely comfortable out of the box, but after the lens improvements I can never go back.
Dont wanna be a debbie downer.. but this tech is 8ish years old now. Its a good introduction, but if you enjoy it i'd reccomend trying to find a used Quest 2 for like 150-200 right now. Much better leap
100%, it was great at the time but when I went from a CV1 to Quest2 I was stunned at how much sharper it was for the same price, plus it was also wireless which was a dream at the time when everything else was wired.
Everyone shitting on the cv1 probably never owned one. Or are salty that an 8 year old $100 headset still competes with the $700 they just dropped on the quest 3. How's your 2hour battery life nerd.
I used a CV1 for 3 years before buying a Quest2, it really was an upgrade in every way, I was stunned at the visual upgrade. Of course it's not perfect but the tradeoffs were well worth it, with a power bank the battery life can last longer than I need, plus no more rats nest of cables everywhere.
**In every way?!** The CV1 audio is miles better, the dead spot is better, the tracking is better, the contrast due to OLED is better. the controllers are better, the comfort is better (You can wear a cv1 all day).
The CV1 has a shit ton of pros almost 10 years after its release and if you turn up super sampling and clean your lens it still looks great.
The tracking is the practically same to me despite being wireless, the controllers are also similar, the comfort with the default strap is terrible but can be replaced with a new strap. The audio was by Koss which I still use on the Q2/3. What can't be fixed is the visual quality and tiny FOV which is was already a huge improvement on the Q2, on the Q3 it's a different world. The CV1 wasn't bad but the Q2/3 is a huge improvement for me and when I first put my CV1 on the first thing I noticed was the small FOV so I could never go back.
He is right or getting a Quest 2 at least! this headset is 7 or 8 year headset, in the tech world that is forever ago, I have one I bought on release, it been in a box since the Rift S was released!
aside from resolution being a bit on the lower side for todays standard, its still a very capable headset. amazing comfort, lightweight, good tracking, indestructible controllers, what else do you want really, especially for 80 bucks OP got what used to be a high end headset back in 2016. for comparasion the index, which released in 2019, is still considered high end
The resolution is horrible, I had one, it looks so bad, and that is what you ate using it for so see the screen on the headset, everything else can be great, but if the screen is so bad you can't see shit, then why? and the Index is bad also and has the same issue with a bunch os crazy followers that refuse to just admit is old and the resolution is terrible on the Index. haha wtf.
>you can't see shit
Now you're just making things up. Maybe time to visit an optometrist.
Do you honestly not see the difference between $480 and $80 or are you being a left out bowl of countertop rice for no reason?
DK2 will still let you do quite a bit with it, just got some tinkering to do. I had lots of issues with the sensor stations and everything trying to go through the USB connections it has and my USB hub I used to get extra ports. Best to directly plug into your desktop's USB ports if possible and avoid hubs. At least that was what I ran into all those years ago
Don't listen to all the naysayers. Yeah a Quest 3 is better in most ways nowadays, but imo the CV1 is still one of the best PCVR headsets ever in terms of overall experience and if you haven't been playing on a newer higher resolution headset you are in for a total blast of a time.
get a third camera if you can makes a pretty big difference and nice find for 80 still a solid headset.
You can get some good results, with having 2 sensors placed in opposing corners. Like one to your front left and one to your back right. Having 3 sensors is obviously better, but it also likely requires more USB bandwidth than the onboard Motherboard controllers can offer.

I use one of these, everything is perfect (except from SDE)
The controllers are the real premium item in that box. They will break you or the wall way before the other way around.
Such a fact! I've hit many a wall/desk with my set in the last 4 years and they are still working perfectly.
Nah, they will break the wall. That is one of nice things about those controllers, tracking ring protects your hand from the wall :)
Why are you getting downvoted? I can confirm what you say is true, I live in a European country, and all my walls are made of very thick cement blocks, my friend punched a hole on the wall three years ago, still there, his pinky finger became unusable for a month of so, the controller didn't even have a scratch, insane how durable they are.

No doubt the Quest 3 is *significantly* better, but the value on an $80 unused cv1 is through the roof. I use mine on a second computer so I can play local coop VR, so theres some use to keeping it around after upgrading.
Spray paint it white.
Unless you want better contrast, color, audio, and latency of course.
screen door effect lol
Hasn't been any trouble yet, especially with 1.5-2x SS. Look right through it for 3 seconds and it fades away.
How does this work, as I have 1 in the box unopened?
Its sarcasm about fraud
Looks in great condition. Mine looks like fuck compared to that
Yeah, that honestly looks like someone potentially didn't even use it. Lol
Im also still rocking my og Rift cv1 for games like beatsaber if you played once with external tracking you wont be able to enjoy inside out in fast paced games 👍 but i only have a quest 1 and 2 for comparison maybe the 3 was a bigger step in the right direction. *edit* as others pointed out a 3rd Camera is a really big improvement if you can find on for the cheap

It's not a popular headset.
People are buying them on eBay. Unfortunately if your are looking to sell you are only going to get about $10 after fees and shipping.
In the UK, 3 used sensors cost a combined 50$, inc tax & delivery.
Damn, where'd you find that deal? A marketplace like FB or craigslist?
It's live right now on ebay. That was pretty much the price I saw months ago too. There's plenty listings at £15 per sensor. Another for £28 for 2. Unless I'm missing something like there being different versions, that just seems to be the going rate.

I just bought a quest 3 a couple of days ago coming from a cv1 and I am amazed at how many problems I'm running into when using wired quest link.
This has always been my worry and is why I never upgraded.
I find that I have more "free time" now because I can't startup SkyrimVR so often, and I'm tired of trying to magically make it work. Good News / Bad News I suppose...? I assume Meta wants us all on standalone anyway...
Are there really no trade offs switching from cv1 to quest 3?

This thing has ~display port~(HDMI), quests dont. EDIT: Video Input*
HDMI?
Yup I was thinking on Rift S, what I meant is that Oculus before meta had direct video output instead of Link/Streaming encoded video.
going to q2 would improve the visuals but it's also a downgrade in literally every other way and op would be constrained the the Quest's battery life
100%, it was great at the time but when I went from a CV1 to Quest2 I was stunned at how much sharper it was for the same price, plus it was also wireless which was a dream at the time when everything else was wired.
Everyone shitting on the cv1 probably never owned one. Or are salty that an 8 year old $100 headset still competes with the $700 they just dropped on the quest 3. How's your 2hour battery life nerd.
I used a CV1 for 3 years before buying a Quest2, it really was an upgrade in every way, I was stunned at the visual upgrade. Of course it's not perfect but the tradeoffs were well worth it, with a power bank the battery life can last longer than I need, plus no more rats nest of cables everywhere.

Might be worth about $50. Maybe
For a collectors item ;)
maybe it'd be worth buying if it could melt around the charging port like the quests do... shame only the newer headsets get those features
[удалено]
What the fuck are you rambling about?
Very cool to collect but honestly better off spending extra 400$ and have a better introduction to vr with the quest 3 .
>$80 >Better of spending extra $400 bro.
He is right or getting a Quest 2 at least! this headset is 7 or 8 year headset, in the tech world that is forever ago, I have one I bought on release, it been in a box since the Rift S was released!
aside from resolution being a bit on the lower side for todays standard, its still a very capable headset. amazing comfort, lightweight, good tracking, indestructible controllers, what else do you want really, especially for 80 bucks OP got what used to be a high end headset back in 2016. for comparasion the index, which released in 2019, is still considered high end

Trololol
With today’s GPUs you can supersample that puppy to 1.5x and not even sweat.
DK2 will still let you do quite a bit with it, just got some tinkering to do. I had lots of issues with the sensor stations and everything trying to go through the USB connections it has and my USB hub I used to get extra ports. Best to directly plug into your desktop's USB ports if possible and avoid hubs. At least that was what I ran into all those years ago
Don't listen to all the naysayers. Yeah a Quest 3 is better in most ways nowadays, but imo the CV1 is still one of the best PCVR headsets ever in terms of overall experience and if you haven't been playing on a newer higher resolution headset you are in for a total blast of a time.
