How long has it been since sharkposting started

2019-03-12 16:03:57 UTC  

Sharks live in a world beyond space and time, friend

2019-03-12 16:08:50 UTC  

Sharks are eternal, alpha and omega

2019-03-12 22:26:49 UTC  

yo are the chink producing some cheap VR headsets ?

2019-03-12 22:27:04 UTC  

Are you in the US?

2019-03-12 22:27:10 UTC  

nope europe

2019-03-12 22:27:17 UTC  

Hahaha loser

2019-03-12 22:27:19 UTC  

Oh. Sorry.

2019-03-12 22:27:19 UTC  

btw I saw that PSVR might work on loonix

2019-03-12 22:27:23 UTC  

why 😦 ?

2019-03-12 22:27:50 UTC  

buildapcsales subreddit frequently pops up with $200 or less WMR headsets.

2019-03-12 22:27:56 UTC  

Got an Acer for $150

2019-03-12 22:28:10 UTC  

wow

2019-03-12 22:28:22 UTC  

do they work on gahnoo ?

2019-03-12 22:28:30 UTC  

No idea

2019-03-12 22:29:01 UTC  

Now, when you say "vr", do you mean those little cardboard doohickies that hold your phone and call it "vr"? Or do you mean an actual VR display

2019-03-12 22:29:23 UTC  

Like, Rift

2019-03-12 22:29:28 UTC  

no an actual VR display, but if you have any way to use some phone as a VR headset for Loonix i'm in

2019-03-12 22:29:31 UTC  

But with a better screen

2019-03-12 22:29:55 UTC  

mmmh is the Lenovo VR Explorer one of these headsets ?

2019-03-12 22:30:02 UTC  

Yes

2019-03-12 22:30:15 UTC  

apparently amazon can ship it from US to europe

2019-03-12 22:30:44 UTC  

for 180€, IDK if it's worth it though

2019-03-12 22:31:10 UTC  

if you have a laptop, big chance VR won't work at all btw

2019-03-12 22:31:22 UTC  

you need a port that's connected directly to the GPU

2019-03-12 22:31:24 UTC  

I think theres something about the Lenovo that was actually better than normal WMR headsets, but I might be wrong on that. Better straps or something I think. The Samsung version actually has a better screen, but the normal ones are really only upstaged by the Vive Pro

2019-03-12 22:32:23 UTC  

oh ok, I have a desktop but I dont have a discrete GPU though so I doubt VR performs well enough even if the graphical chipset is thicc

2019-03-12 22:33:54 UTC  

you can run the steamvr performance test, although im not sure if that runs on linux

2019-03-12 22:34:04 UTC  

oh okay I will try that thanks

2019-03-12 22:35:41 UTC  

WMR was Microsoft made a standard and built support in to Windows, then let other companies build the headsets after having Microsoft do the legwork, so you get a bunch of mostly sameish different models from different manufacturers. Steam has a bridge for WMR to work with Rift/Vive content on Windows, dunno about *nix. From what I hear about Rift, and having used WMR and Vive, I'd get the WMR over either if you only need the display, Vive or spring for Vive Pro for room-scale.

2019-03-12 22:36:26 UTC  

Don't get the display planning to get controllers later, you won't find them.

2019-03-12 22:38:17 UTC  

What's that Chinese 8k HMD?

2019-03-12 22:39:47 UTC  

okay thanks, so I can't get any good controllers separately ?

2019-03-12 22:40:15 UTC  

What's the point of getting VR is you can't get controllers for them?

2019-03-12 22:40:25 UTC  

Not that I know of, and that seems to be the consensus on the buildapcsales subreddit

2019-03-12 22:40:33 UTC  

@Matthew Sim games

2019-03-12 22:40:39 UTC  

Racing and the like.
