Was this year's E3 bad for the future of virtual reality? I don't think issues like simulator sickness, timed exclusives, and locking software down to specific headsets are "bad" for the industry because, over time, all these problems will get ironed out as the industry moves forward. Your...
I have a like new HTC Vive in used, but mint condition. Games have been redeemed, so they are not included. Unit is boxed and ready for ship or local pickup.

Looks like Bethesda is releasing an update to enable roomscale VR support in Fallout4! Amazing news to those waiting on a AAA title.

Virtual reality Fallout 4 is coming to HTC Vive in 2017
I recently extended my VIVE into my livingroom.
The two base stations appear to communicate with Infrared and thus, are now causing interference with my Harmony remote system.

So I'm almost done making my battery powered backpack for VR gaming with no wires.
I just need to build the powerhouse now.

Now I'm thinking:
i5, 1070, 16GB ram, SSD
Already have: SSD, 250W PSU
What mobo...
After watching the live NVIDIA 1080 product announcement, because I am a nerd, I was really stoked about the potential the new cards could have for multi-monitor and VR gaming. Heck, a good chunk of thier presentation was pretty much, "Hey nerds, this shit with perspective distortion on multi...
So a little bit of background. I have never used VR before. I didn't even know the company Oculus existed until a month ago (don't ask me how I procured a Rift). I was just youtubing upcoming games one day and came across a video of Eve Valkyrie. And I thought to myself...Holy Ph@ck. So then I...
Any see these? they look perfect for VR

Normally I am suspicious of hardware kickstarters but these seem to have some pretty big industry vets working on the design, a bunch of ex...
[H] has the true graphic whores like me, I want my shit to be crisp and playing on sharp, beautiful (flat) screens all my life. I can just imagine this huge drop in visual fidelity is going to be an issue for me, I've read that it's easily forgotten about when you're actually immersed in a game...
Just going to quick put this up so we have a place to hopefully put all of our thoughts and LINKS in.

We have a top of the line computer that my colleagues and I have been using for the past year. We are looking to sell it. It is a great system for graphics work, VR, video editing, or animation.
Since I am new here, I cannot yet post links to my threads. The computer is listed under "Desktop...
Why on earth would you wear a VR headset in a real roller coaster? A roller coaster isn't meant to be used with a VR headset. If you are going to do a VR coaster, why not go the full simulation route?
