Virtual Reality General - /vrg/

Welcome to /vrg/ - Virtual Reality General
Still Trying Edition

>What is virtual reality? What is a head-mounted display?
Just read this Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality
A head-mounted display (HMD) is the headwear responsible for creating a VR environment
>What VR HMDs are available right now?
This general will focus on the enthusiast-level of VR, and doesn’t cover the widely-available methods of VR (ie. Google Cardboard). For enthusiast-level HMDs, the popular ones are: Oculus Rift and HTC Vive
>Where can I get one? What games are there? Can I ride a dinosaur? If I die in VR do I die in real life?
I’ll just specify what this general is meant for:
Asking/Answering questions people have about VR.
Talking about VR experiences.
Meeting other people with VR in VR.

Now for the nitty-gritty
>Where is the porn?
Check out /t/’s catalog and search for “vr porn”. While you might not like the website, /r/oculusnsfw is a good start for that stuff. This is a blubord, don’t post pictures or think that discussing these types of things is a good idea. Keep it to a minimum.
>Where are the games?
Mostly Steam. Link below
>What else?
I’m testing to see when’s the best time for these threads, which is probably later due to the fact that the people who own VRHMDs probably have jobs. Let me know if you have suggestions for the OP

Hopefully that’s enough information to get the thread going. Here’s some links.
HTC Vive: htcvive.com
Oculus Rift: oculus.com

weird, it's like having 3 eyes

also, it'd need to all converge to a single-point to work in VR, otherwise your eyes would just have completely different information

The idea is you have 3 monitors around you at 90 degrees

Like so

not really VR, but still neat. I have a triple monitor setup and multi-monitor gaming is a cool experience, but a bit difficult to get working with some games with HUDs that get placed at the corner of the viewport.

Also, placing 3 monitors around yourself would require displays larger than 40" just to wrap around your head. So you have to sort of just angle 3 in front of you and try to ignore the geometric stretching. They're really only good for peripheral (eyes) use, as you're mostly looking at just your middle screen

>estimated dispatch: July

How am I getting one shot in Hover Junkers after freshly spawning in? I've been working on my aim with the revolver but the only time i've ever been able to one shot someone off a headshot is when someone's in combat

shoulda preorded day-one

pretty much everyone was praising VR with literally no one saying it doesn't work.

>shoulda preorded day-one
I-I did. I was just a few hours late because I was at work when they went live.

wait, did you preorder oculus or vive?

feel bad for you if you got an oculus, enjoy VR anyways, but even if motion controls are gimmicky, they add a new layer to the world you're in. Also the whole facebook thing.

Ya sucks to hear that, my vive took a little over two weeks to ship

I went for the oculus because it's cheaper and 99% of the games I care about are cockpit games. If I had more space and could make use of roomscale I might have chosen differently.

You can still do standing or sitting in vive they have a setting for it. It's a bit more expensive of course since you get the two motion controllers but then again if you ever get interested in oculus touch then the vive isn't going to be all that much more expensive.

Audioshield song recommendations?

Preferably ones that I can on "harder" and punch to the beat.

Custom maid 3d2 has oculus and vive support from what I'm assuming is third party injectors. Google searching should give you a link to step by step instructions.

what other programs do you recommend? I've only tried waifu sex sim

God damn it.

I had lots of fun with this one. youtube.com/watch?v=sgl_HrxlUH4

Rules of Nature was surprisingly in synch, too. Definitely recommend.

In terms of porn, everything's pretty shit right now. I'm fairly sure the uncensoring and menus are broken as of right now, but it'll very likely change soon. Mocumocudance is basically the best for that kind of thing right now, in my experience.

dead general

It's ok. I'm trying to learn how many people are available to talk about this thing.

Since these threads are in their infancy, just like the technology (or content-wise at least), it's safe to say that people don't know there's a general for this. I'll probably stop after a week or so if it doesn't pick up.

shouldnt psvr and microsofts thing be in the op?

Finally got around to playing waifu sex sim. Porns never gonna be the same.


Whats the best game with guns? I beat Hordez yesterday and it got me thirsty for some more gun play. Is H3 worth the cost? It seems pretty limited right now.

H3 is your best bet for target range gun using simulation. There's a good chance you're probably going to have to google a gun to figure out how to reload it if you don't have much firearm knowledge.

The big one we're all waiting for is Raw Data. Basically a much higher budget Hordez with co-op and 1v1 duels

PSVR isn't out and microsoft is augment reality.

Maybe if hololens catches on, we'll allow it... I don't have high hopes for it.

Anybody playing audio shield should try out that harder hard mod. Definitely a lot more fun when you don't 100% every song you play after 5 hours playtime.

I thought that mod was out of date
tfw shitter and can barely get above a 9.0 score

weird question, but how do you play vr if you have pets?

just hope they don't walk into your play area? keep tron-vision on at all times?
lock them away? just shut your door?

if you shut your door, does your space get really hot from all the activity? how do you manage?

I'm thinking about buying a retractable screen door so I can have my doorway open to allow air in/out while also blocking pets from walking in on me.

Probably because I just started with it, but I actually fuck up a decent amount in Audioshield. It's like I completely forget which hand has which color at random points.

Probably would put them in a cage or just shut the door if you're really concerned with tripping over them or something.

Out of Ammo is pretty damn fun.

There's a one hit killshot if you get them right between the eyes. Otherwise, it's two headshots.
