Virtual Reality General - /vrg/

>I heard sometimes the beat is off and it generally has only 2 colors?
There /are/ only two colors, and as far as the beat being off, it sort of depends on where you stand.

It's the same music detection software used in audiosurf, so it's as accurate I'd assume. I do wish there was a level editor to create my own tracks that line-up better. Occasionally you'll get the stray-note out of nowhere, but it's not bad by any means.

The waifu era is real
But there really isn't much to talk about as long as people don't have their headsets
Until then it's like discussing video games you never played

>like discussing video games you never played
so it's just like being on /v/

I was baiting for that exact reply

>these people with holes in their pockets trying really hard to start a conversation
Holy fuck this is cringe worthy.

>Until then it's like discussing video games you never played
I think you're assuming that there aren't that many people with VR headsets yet, but steamspy shows that 60,000+ have tiltbrush.

>people are enjoying something I dont, how fucking dare they!

The closest thing I can think to compare it to is Audio Voltex

other good youtube channels to check out?
don't even mention markimemer or nathie

I mean Sound Voltex
youtube.com/watch?v=GoH_u8Y13s4

It has you hit individual notes similar to the bottom buttons on the arcade machines, and follow moving streams similar to the knobs for each hand. It only has 2 colors because each color is meant for a specific hand.

It's more like Audiosurf youtube.com/watch?v=Js-lAXTixV4

Back, wanted to recommend a couple more tracks:

aaaaaalexander - turning off
bignic - bleed is pretty great, the whole soundtrack of corporate lifestyle simulator is great.

Cyberpunk is real and it's starting right now

facebook and twitter do the same thing m8

and youtube and google

>"and information collected through pixels"
that's a bit worrysome, sounds like it basically means
>"shit that displays to your face, we can see too"

ded

until tomorrow at least, I made the thread a bit late.

I'll make a more timely thread if this one doesn't survive

>800-1000 on a gimmick

Can't make it up

junk vr - best vr

Did you make that? Where did you get the lenses?

Yeah.
Made them out of a plastic bottle, duct tape and water.

hol up, that's pretty fuckin neato.

Did you follow a guide? How well does it work? What is it compatible with? What display are you using?

>How well does it work?
Well, it works. Haven't tried it much, I think I'll have to go out and get actual lenses, making one's right is a huge pain.

>Did you follow a guide?
Trinus VR for tilting, tridef3d or similar for stereo display, moonlight to emulate nvidia shield streaming.

>What is it compatible with?
Any game you can stream though nvidia shield. Although there are a bunch similar software for desktop streaming, so I guess it also will work.

There's tons of games I want to play with stereoscopy, but vorpx only goes so far.

Is there anywhere I should start if I want to enable it on my vive? Mainly a guide to follow.

THE FUTURE

what games work on it?

Any you can render is stereo and stream to your phone.

so how about that massive shitposting thread on /v/? the one about the "veteran" simulation scientist who says no one can use VR for more than a couple minutes?

Seems to be different for person to person. I can spent like an hour or two, before my eyes start to hurt. I only get dizzy if I try to spin. My brother, however, gets barfy almost instantly.

What about that BigScreen beta thing?

So I tried Vive at expo. Deep sea demo was alright, but there was terrible aliasing in zombie shooter. Is it this game's problem or there is always aliasing, and it is just more noticeable in the high contrast environment?

It's just a matter of optimization, it's important to keep fps constant, even at a cost.

>zombie shooter
The Brookhaven Experiment?
Aliasing is somewhat present I guess. Not enough to take you out of it.

That Dolphin VR emulator is pretty fucking nifty. Wish I could eliminate the jittering without having to speed up the games, though.

No, that was Arizona Sunshine.

Oh, I haven't had a chance to play it, there's no demo on steam yet.

doubting this thread will live, but at least 13 people talked about vr. I'll try this later and see if it picks up for different timezones.

It's not about the timezones, it's about barely any people having headsets.

Good job on the op post, will look towards new threads.

Thanks for the bump I guess?
I think it's a mix of both.

Yeah, I got really tired of not having an outlet to talk about vr that wasn't constant shitposting. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction.

I'll buy a Vive when someone releases a good game for it. The current talent pool making games doesn't look very impressive.

Neat, a VR general, though I don't think there's enough people that have invested in for a decent conversation without the usual /v/ cuck meme banter.

How goes everyone else's experience so far? I've been enjoying the Vive quite a bit. I have an Oculus coming in sometime in June aswell since I already had it on day one preorder, but I expect that will go straight to eBay for some minor profit.

Wishing for something that not only is fun but is intuitive as well. Vertigo was a great demo, but weapon switching is a hassle because it functions like a scroll menu instead of making the trackpad a button menu.

Altspace has the most time I've spent out of everything. Then Audiosurf, Job Simulator, and IKEA VR Experie- jfk, The Lab.

What did you think of Portal Stories: VR? Models looked way bigger than they should have, took me out of it a little.
