On Oculus' Main Page for the company there is one section of how it will help the disabled or late middle age get out of their home. I cannot stand due to a disability except for a couple minutes. I am in a recliner with furniture all around me. I can set the floor level by reaching down in a narrow space next to the chair. I cannot set the barrier (and do not need to) because the furniture blocks the view of the floor. Thus the floor level does not get set either. I cannot move my hands down because of the chair. I can only move them to the sides, in front, and above. This makes it impossible to play games like reaching down for the joystick on a plane or even picking things off the floor. I am reluctant to buy games as I do not know if I can use them or not.
Oculus should correct this or remove the disabled/elderly advertisement on their main page. They should state that it is not compatible for the disabled or elderly.
Thank you for responding. Yes, there are many types of disabilities. Mine is neuromuscular disability involving pain. If I stand for more than a minute or two, the pain rapidly increases. Because of this, I only leave my home for doctor appointments. The VR would take me out of the house. So far, the only app that really works well is Mission: ISS. The feeling of being weightless actually transfers to my body. Because I am weightless, I can place myself in any orientation. There is another spacewalk app but I cannot use it because it involves reaching down.
There seems to be a group of PS4 users that Rec Room works well for. I cannot use it well because I am embedded in the floor. It is supposed to be a multi-platform app.
Once again, thank you for your response. As much as I hate to, I will probably return it for the next model (whenever that happens). I think VR is the technology of the future. It just needs a few years.
Steam VR allows you to adjust your height. Maybe Steam VR version of Rec Room would work better for you.
