yo are the chink producing some cheap VR headsets ?
Are you in the US?
nope europe
Hahaha loser
Oh. Sorry.
btw I saw that PSVR might work on loonix
why 😦 ?
buildapcsales subreddit frequently pops up with $200 or less WMR headsets.
Got an Acer for $150
wow
do they work on gahnoo ?
No idea
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
no an actual VR display, but if you have any way to use some phone as a VR headset for Loonix i'm in
But with a better screen
mmmh is the Lenovo VR Explorer one of these headsets ?
Yes
apparently amazon can ship it from US to europe
for 180€, IDK if it's worth it though
if you have a laptop, big chance VR won't work at all btw
you need a port that's connected directly to the GPU
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
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
you can run the steamvr performance test, although im not sure if that runs on linux
oh okay I will try that thanks
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.
Don't get the display planning to get controllers later, you won't find them.
What's that Chinese 8k HMD?
okay thanks, so I can't get any good controllers separately ?
What's the point of getting VR is you can't get controllers for them?
Not that I know of, and that seems to be the consensus on the buildapcsales subreddit

Racing and the like.
