MS nerfing WMR on Win11.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

Yes but then shortly after they remove support from Steam. As explained in the video the only choice a WMR user is too stop at a certain W11 update.I assume that WMR will still work through SteamVR and that this is just them removing that stupid 'walk around your virtual house to start VR apps in the most annoying way possible' app.
I guess that is my main beef as well.I don't understand why they don't just move it to deprecated status like older versions of DirectX instead of removing it entirely. That way people can still use it if they want to, with the understanding that it's provided as-is.
VR is like 3D movies 10 years ago, dumb.
I don't want anything on my eyes or head. I dislike wearing hats even. Then again, I also sit in the back of restaurants with my body facing the exit so I can be prepared if anything happens. I don't like being isolated from reality.Have you ever played a VR game?

Oh I have, but it wasn't enough to sway me. I'm very ok with sitting a few feet from a monitor.Ok, well it's nothing like 3D movies from 10 years ago. I can see how that would be hard to know if you've never experienced it.
What unit did you try?Oh I have, but it wasn't enough to sway me. I'm very ok with sitting a few feet from a monitor.
Played at friends' places a few times on PC. Just doesn't do it for me. I believe it was Oculus.What unit did you try?
I don't like wearing headphones/headsets either. I prefer having discreet speakers.I don't want anything on my eyes or head. I dislike wearing hats even.
Situational awareness keeps you alive. I've been in many situations in my life, uniforms in my life, that has taught me to look around and be ready. Not to necessarily always think someone else is going to be there to assist. Stay alert, stay alive.Same for me. I don't like wearing anything at all. In fact I am completely naked. I can't even stand my own hair touching me, I shaved my whole body clean. I can't stand having my hands on a keyboard or mouse. I'm in the corner of the room yelling at the computer right now to post this so I can keep an eye on all entrances in case marauders attack.

That sounds terrible.

im sure the 6 people using it are upset, but its just not worth it for them....
Sounds good. Maybe only reply when you are contributing then.I don't want anything on my eyes or head. I dislike wearing hats even. Then again, I also sit in the back of restaurants with my body facing the exit so I can be prepared if anything happens. I don't like being isolated from reality.
Cool story. He did.Sounds good. Maybe only reply when you are contributing then.
What are you on about GT?Cool story. He did.
Incorrect... The comparison was from the physical placement on my head which I despise. Wasn't a comparison of the technology between 3D and VR.hahaha brilliant post. And you know from his comparison to 3D that the guy has never tried VR in his life.

I'll upgrade when I feel the need thank you, not because I'm told so.It's super lame, mind numbingly dumb, but it just means it time to upgrade your headset.

Steam better hit it out of the park on their next release (or are they going the way of MS?) because the narrow choices the market now offers is quite distressing.
Give me a good option and fuck Meta.
It's probably through steam link using the PS5.Sony bringing official PC support to the PSVR2 feels awfully tempting. Wired, but the specs on the headset alone is drool worthy for a VR headset.
4k
120Hz
OLED
HDR
Eyetracking
110fov
. Shame no one is really copying the knuckles concept from Valve
It's probably through steam link using the PS5.
Also psvr2 isn't as great as the specs imply. What they listed is marketing bullshit.
The screen has insanely high persistence by default which causes most people motion sickness after about 15 minutes, and when you lower the persistence to industry standards the screen is dimmer than pretty much every other headset. So the "HDR" claim is marketing bs.
Also the screen is pentile layout so the effective resolution is much lower than the specs imply.
And it uses fresnel lenses, so the clarity is not good compared to headsets with pancake lenses.
The 110 degree fov is it's diagonal FOV. Another misleading marketing bs spec. The Quest 3 and other headsets have higher FOV.
It doesn't make sense to get it unless you have a PS5 and really want to play the PS5 VR games.
So win 10 should be unaffected?
Plenty of time to upgrade though.
