VR Forums

hi!

Sorry about this rant. I just need to vent. Was setting up and testing my Steam VR tracking lighthouses to see if they would allow me to use my Quest 2 without having to turn on all the lights. I think it will work, but wasn't entirely sure anymore. Signs pointed to this being the case, so good news. Anyway, I had the Quest 2 plugged into my computer via the official Link Cable. Yes, I know there are cheaper ones. But when I bought it last year I did research, and it was the highest build quality of the known "this works with Oculus Link" usb-c cables. This was before Link was improved to work with lower quality cables too. I've been getting good use out of the cable too. Anyway, while I was finishing up my tests my social worker showed up for a weekly check-in. And Fumblefoot McGee (not his actual name) couldn't grasp the concept of "lift your feet, there's a cord running across the floor". Even after I mentioned this fact to him. He SAW the cable, pointed it out and asked about

For anyone who hates anything related to Facebook social activity, this thread may not be for you, in which case, probably best not to read this and start moaning!For anyone else who's curious, I've just got the TV version for my elderly mum who's isolating and I'm part-time caring for, so I have to isolate too, although I go home to isolate for a couple days a week. So anyway, as this Covid-19 thing is likely to be going on for some time, video chats with family members seemed like a good thing for the elderly to have access to. I decided on the Portal-TV because she can turn the TV volume up and the screen is big!It comes nicely and minimally packaged, reminds me of Oculus stuff and includes a remote and a power supply that looks very similar to the Quest one but 12V so hard-wired at the plug end and has a barrel plug at the Portal end. It would have been nice to have another USB-C plug and cable for future flexibility and spares. There's also a USB-C socket on the Portal for stuff (

My account was merged , I had posts before oculus was merged with Facebook, how do I delete or edit these old posts? it seems my profile is duplicated now

I really like VR, but the lack of AAA games is making me feel I also need to get back into pancake gaming. I currently have a 42" television and I'm just wondering if I get a 55" or 65" television, if this will get me more immersed in a game like VR does? Since VR came along I've struggled to get back into 2D gaming and there's some really good pancake games that will never come to VR. So do you think a lager screen would get me more immersed in a game or not?

Hey there,I'm planning to buy a server hard drive. A friend of mine has advised me about Bitsync Digital. Can anyone please give me some review about it?Thanks

These features and enhancements will become available starting the week of July 20, 2021. Invite to Game We’ve created multiplayer APIs for developers to use with their apps. For any app that opts into this feature, you’ll be able to invite friends or people you’ve recently played with to your game sessions directly from the Quest Universal menu. You will be notified when your friend takes action based on your invite. When you’re invited to join someone through this method, you’ll receive a notification with info about who sent the invite and what app you’re being invited to. You can now view and manage the group of people you’re playing together with right from the Universal menu without leaving the app or experience you’re currently in. Invite Link We want to make it easier to get your friends into VR with you. One way we’re doing this is by allowing you to create an invitation link which will take anyone who uses it to the same location in VR. The link is created and shared

Some of us did sense that something strange was happening...   - and these did look kinda high-ish 😮  - and this happened, Disco Elysium:  I guess that "Out of the Park Baseball 2007" is what physicists refer to as an anomaly 🤔 😂 Back to the Disco - the trailer does look ... interesting, but probably not something that'll make the RTX 3090 sweat 🤣   Game is 35% off on Steam until July 8: https://store.steampowered.com/app/632470/Disco_Elysium__The_Final_Cut/ In fact, Elysium runs great on my office PC - with Q6600 (2.4 GHz quad-core), GTX 680 2GB and 8GB ram, and that's using 2048x1536 res with 2xMSAA on my dear old Sony F520 21" CRT (love the CRT colors, can't help it, Sony said the Trinitron tube should last 25 years, I'm counting on it, lol). Have dual monitor setup for the office rig - also have a Samsung 27" lcd, but I greatly prefer the Trinitron for old-school gaming. Might move the game to the SSD, H

Hi,as seen on many other projects and products using the Oculus Rift, I would like to show the Oculus logo on my website. What are the special requirements to use the Oculu logos, like for example a DK2 lettering if your product supports or needs it?

I know this is off topic and yes I'm a lover of Oculus! But their is one other product I would like to share with you guys . It is called "Sabertron" a wireless sword that keeps track of scoring. I LOVE to sword fight! The only problem I had was who hit who first and we would always need a 3rd person judging our fights. With this sword you can have a 20vs20 people fighting and their swords will show the health of each person till the last man is standing. IT IS THAT COOL! They are going on Kickstarter this week.

My wife and I love Sims. Wouldn't it kinda be cool to have a sims game. We got addicted to the walking dead game and thought, "how cool would it be to actually be a sims character". Just a thought. What do you guys think?

Looks like Valve is really doubling down on their desire to move in to more Mobile/Portable gaming devices. They recently submitted a patent for a new Inside-Out tracking VR HMD. And now it looks like they are trying to compete with Nintendo in the hand-held gaming market. The current codename for this device is: SteamPal. "A touchscreen handheld gaming machine that's great to pick up and just play with," Alan writes in his Onexplayer review. "It feels like there's a place for it in the PC gaming landscape, and that should be seen as a success, even if this version isn't quite there yet." It's not quite Rembrandt but the SteamPal is now rumoured to come packing an AMD Van Gogh APU with Zen 2 CPU cores and an RDNA 2 GPU. That remains largely speculative at this time, but perhaps Alan won't be waiting around quite as long for something not all that far off his ideal. https://www.gamesradar.com/steam-dataminers-uncover-evidence-of-a-handheld-device-by-valve/https://www

Hello! 😊 I'm rellativelly new in this community. To get to know a few users and start a nice discussion I would like to hear, how y'all doing? How is the pandemic effecting your life and what are you doing to keep yourself busy. The possibilities in Germany are very limited right now, maybe you got some ideas and can give me some inspiration for activities, or projekts that I can start at home. Best regards!  

Have you ever heard about the idea of a smart home? Can anybody explain it to me? As I understand, it is a system of several devices with different technologies. For example, the door detects if you closed it or not and notifies you through an application to do it (or maybe does it by itself). I should also mention the opportunity to control your pets through the screen of your phone when you are out. By the way, I do the same with the Ajax app. So, is that all called a smart home or not?

I remember when no one used these forums, hahaAlso, sightline was the best game ever and I'm sad no one ever rolled with the concept.

I just backed this - it's my entire childhood  o:) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zzap642021annual/zzap-64-2021-annual?ref=ksr_email_backer_backer_confirmationGot the mug  B) Thinking back, there was something special about Commodore 64. Of course we've got VR today, but can't really compete with true CBM64 diamonds. Or maybe we were just easier to impress in the old days - loved the demo scene too. To this day I wouldn't argue if someone claimed that Rob Hubbard was better than Mozart  ;)

Hey Forum, I am an aspiring inventor of sorts and I would like to share an idea I have been tossing around in my head for quite some time.Goal: To power an entire house with one relatively small dual sided photovoltaic panel and a 24 volt battery!Design; The PV panel would be mounted on a satellite dish. Thus one side would capture direct sunlight and the other side would capture sunlight that bounces off the dish. The dish structure would be mounted on a pole (obviously). At the bottom of this pole would be a cylinder shaped 24 Volt battery. The pole itself would be designed to double as a massive electromagnet. Inside the pole would be a electric motor near the top and a rotor that is vertically oriented and when operational rotates inside the pole.There would be two sources; the panel and the battery. One source would energize the electrical motor that turns the rotor inside the pole, while the other source would energize the magnetic field. Thus when operational producing a substan
