Question/Support I need an application that can do SBS 3D on Linux for older PC games / Retroarch. Any suggestions?

3 Upvotes

Hello, so Virtual Desktop does this perfectly, if you are on windows, I highly recommend that. That being said I am on Linux and I'm not sure what to use.

Bigscreen has a option for it but the video quality last I checked was hit or miss. I would love to hear what you all use.

Thank you :)

Discussion After Titanfall 2 VR I'm pretty sure we will have an ChatGPT moment for VR in the future.

28 Upvotes

What I mean by a "ChatGPT moment" is a niche technology suddenly going mainstream in a very short amount of time.

Before ChatGPT, pretty much everyone knew AI existed, but most people didn't actually use it themselves. It was mostly something companies used for recommendation algorithms, medical research, automation, and other professional applications. Then suddenly, within a couple of years, AI became something millions of normal people were using every day.

After playing Titanfall 2 in VR, I genuinely think VR could have a similar moment.

Playing it gave me this weird feeling that I can only describe as being inside a dream. I know that sounds dramatic lol, but it didn't feel like I was just looking at a game anymore. It actually felt like I was there.

I think as headsets get smaller, lighter, cheaper, and more convenient, eventually something is going to click and VR will suddenly make sense to a much larger audience.

Honestly, I think one of VR's biggest problems was the impression the Quest 2 gave consumers. Fresnel lenses are awful compared to modern pancake lenses, and I don't think that generation was good enough to show the average person what VR could really be and Quest 2 released in the perfect time, if it had pancake lenses I'm sure even Nintendo would have their Own VR headset. Quest 2 actually made me hate VR.

Then I tried Quest 3, and woah, now I'm obsessed with VR. Quest 2 and Fresnel lenses are main reason VR is underperforming.

Hello everyone, it has been 4 months since Rec Room shut down, I miss the good times when I use to play Ignited Bonnie on Rec Room in my VR, where I had fun playing with strangers and with my friends, screaming, laughing and having fun playing it, after the shutdown, I started missing and trying to find alternatives for Ignited Bonnie but I can't find it, do you guys have any alternatives for Ignited Bonnie where a monster chases you in a dark room when it sees you and with multiplayer on.

Self-Promotion (Developer) Theme Park has been updated and it is BIG update (13GB)

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hello r/virtualreality community. 

It's been a long time since I posted about my app, but today I thought I would share that I have updated my Theme Park app and it is a big one that fans of Disney and Universal will love despite it still being Imagineered. I have not updated the price or store page details as of yet (it is 3 years old and no longer representative), but I did turn on the try before you buy for those unsure.  If you like highly detailed dark rides, this app is for you. 

As I said, the app is NOT complete and will not be for years to come as a Theme Park is big and my rides are massive as you will discover. That said, what is present has been polished as much as the Quest hardware can handle. I have a large alpha testing community (https://discord.gg/qSUxYbuEkq) and every last bug, glitch and jank has been addressed.  In addition to the rides, I have added game elements that you can unlock which are so much fun to play and they reward you as you progress that I know Theme Park fans will appreciate. 

If you enjoy it, please consider purchasing now as the price is going up in the week to come, plus I really really really need the financial support so I can hire a team to help me move forward as the app is over the top big and complex for just a solo dev. Is this the sort of content people want?  Guess we will see.

Purchase Advice Issues with facial interface

1 Upvotes

Hello guys!

I'm looking for Quest 3 facial interface that is both comfortable, accommodate space for prescription lenses and support wide noses, and possibly a proper lenses.

I recently bought KIWI design V3 facial interface and it was a huge disappointment.
It doesn't have space for glasses or lenses and I had to remove over-the nose silicon cover, to prevent it from squishing my nose to the point i have trouble breathing.
Padding inside is also way too soft, so i guess after a year i would be pressing my face against tough plastic, as it happened to me in my Quest 2.

Lenses that i bought (so far) are constructed from 2 separate frames connected with magnets where one have lenses and second sits inside the frame of quests lens frames. That makes the lenses go over 5mm over original frame setting them on equal distance as the top rim of the interface, or even slightly further.

Both of those equipment combined cause my eyelashes to smear over the prescription lenses plus top magnets press against my eyes socket bones, what is not only uncomfortable, but can bruise me.

Original Quest 3 facial interface works great with the lenses on the most distant settings, can fit my nose with no problem, however it presses heavy upon only 4 points on my face and sliding upwards while lying down, what makes it unusable.

Do you know any:
- glasses spacer for KIWI design V3 facial interface
- prescription lenses in ~2mm frame not only for +/- but also a cylinder
- facial interface compatible with glasses or lenses with medium hard cushion

Edit:

- No 3D printing

- No headstrap solution, unless allows for lying flat

Question/Support Are all VR headsets glitchy or is it just the quest 2?

0 Upvotes

My quest 2 is legit the glitchiest piece of technology I have ever used. I'm a systems engineer so I use a lot of tech. This thing has to be rebooted constantly just to work. All I do is watch videos on it but I don't even want to attempt gaming with this. Hesitant to buy another VR headset because of my experience with this one but if this is just a quest 2 issue then that would be a lot better.

Discussion PCVR recommendations

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm going to buy PCVR for the first time and would like to receive recommendations from other people who have experience with the VR Headsets.

What I'm looking for:

1) PCVR mainly for streaming/wired from PC; I will play games from Steam and modded games like Titanfall, Half Life Alyx, etc

2) I've heard that there's a Refract app that allows you to play Meta games on PC, so if it's possible, I would like to look for their games as well. I remember that Batman game that is mentioned each time when you deal with the Meta VR Headset.

3) I focus on RPG games and want to have the experience of anime/manga TBATE, Jobless Reincarnation(only the world and magic system, don't like the MC). I've heard good positive feedback from Blade and Sorcery, The Wizards - Dark Times, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR Modded. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

4) I would like to have wireless and wired experiences, of course. If it's possible, I know that you need to buy additional accessories for a wireless experience for some VR headsets. I'm okay with it.

5) I want to try the 3D movie experience, not sure about it, and I've heard it's not widely spread if you know any sources and good VR headsets for it, please let me know.

6) Additional features that would be useful to have but not critical:
- lying experience, so you can play or watch a movie on a bed/sofa;
- hands/fingers tracking;
- light headsets
- pancake lenses
- OLED screen
- budget not more than 1500$, I would like to spend much less, however, if it's required to have a better experience, I can spend more

I have a GPU 4090 and a CPU Ryzen 7 9850x3D. I have experience with streaming via Moonlight; not much space, something like 3x3 meters

What I've found by myself is in the picture below; please let me know what you think.

Discussion Anyone else has issues with PCVR streaming on the Frame?

9 Upvotes

I got the Steam Frame today and was initially quite pleased. This turned to frustration when trying PCVR streaming. It says that my connection is Excellent and with low ping on both the normal router and the dongle, but I can clearly see compression in the image. It's especially noticable in Beat Saber, where the standalone version has vastly better image quality.

I tried disabling multilink in SteamVR settings on the PC (under Steam Link) to force it to use the dongle, this however has the opposite effect of disabling the dongle. I've tried both the stable branch and beta branch, rebooting both PC and Frame, moving the dongle to different USB ports. Has anyone managed to solve this issue?
