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

Like, Rift

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

@Matthew Sim games

Racing and the like.

Honestly even just using the display with mouse and keyboard is awesome.

I'd literally just use it to jack off if it didn't have controllers.

mmmh https://github.com/OpenHMD/OpenHMD/wiki/Support-List

in peripherals

seems to support stuff

Linux only 👌 perfect

mmmh PSVR is still cheaper

maybe getting a PSVR is the best option

What's the resolution?

I don't know anything about that one. Is it the same type of thing?

VR is fucking amazing and you'll regret skimping. Not knowing anything about PSVR, my concerns would be if the display is good enough to not really have the screen door effect, if controller tracking is good, and if the controllers have the same functions as other VR devices. Don't wanna not have the button games use to shoot with.

mmh yeah I don't know about psvr controllers (playstation move)

and I should check all these headsets resolutions

mmh psvr is 960x1080 per eye

Doesn't psvr do frame interpolation
