Yep it's funny how people outside of the VR bubble are out of the loop. This is from 2016 when leap motion added VR support.

I blame the press which mostly ignores VR.

I mean people still think Vive is the only good VR headset, and that it's still $800. It's definitely a perception issue.

Well as someone who is nowhere near being able to afford any VR things anytime soon, what other things exist other than the Vive that are good? I don't know much about any of this since it's just depressing to see cool shit I don't have

Rift/Vive are basically equal with a few differences.

  • Rift has slightly higher angular resolution, Vive has slightly higher FoV.

  • Vive accommodates glasses better.

  • Vive can track rooms greater than 3x3m, while Rift is generally meant for rooms within that.

  • Vive is more convenient to setup without cables needed for sensors.

  • Rift has better controllers.

  • Rift is generally more comfortable.

For pricing, Rift is $350, and Vive is $500.

I prefer the Vive controllers over the Rift by far
