I'm getting my HTC Vive in a couple of weeks!
When are you going to do VR?
- Thread starter ratfeast
- Start date
nVidia's new card that does excellent VR costs $700
in a couple of generations it will be affordable
by then headsets will be cheaper and better spec'd too
I don't do bleeding-edge

When they get some decent vr porn
I suggest you search VR in Porn hub if you are really serious.

Im in with the Oculus Rift, been on backorder for abit and likely wont see it yet for a few months. Not the best start to a launch to have a huge unit shortage. Upgraded the puter late last year so ill be in VR heaven soon enough. Cant wait.
Have you checked out the HTC Vive, it's not too late to change and you'll likely get it faster.
This is the fairest comparison I've found:

I have a Vive coming next month sometime. Started with a DK2 and now I'm excited to see where the tech takes us! (Plus I gotta be stupid with my money BEFORE I have kids, right?)
I did the exact same thing (got the DK2), except my kids are grown, so I can be stupid with my money all I want.
I agree,Pornographers don't understand the difference between VR and 3D although some startups do! Time to invest!

Did alot of youtubing before I placed my order so I'd make somewhat of an informed decision. I think the pros for the Rift are, better fit and more comfort, built in headphones (although I have Sennheiser HD800 which will crap over any bulit in audio system), sharper picture, lighter. The Vive pros would be the whole lighthouse thing if you want to jump about the room, camera built in, comes with handcontrollers out of the box.
Still I'm leaning the Rift direction, software support would be far more advanced than the Vive due to the longer development time. Also you can play steam games on Rift but not Oculus games on the Viive. Also with facebook(hate it) behind Oculus they will keep shoveling the money in to make it the winner. My thoughts anyway, unfortunately will need to WAIT for Oculus to pull their finger out and send me a unit.
This makes me sad as it seems like the Vive is a better system. I'm waiting a year or two anyways.
I'm not in VR. I'm getting sick ("queasy"...?) sitting in the back of the car or in any kind of carousel - which most likely seems to be based on my health issues with my ear which also affects my sense of balance. Ergo: no VR for me (most likely - lets see what the future brings). Instead, my next investment could be a baby like this one, probably 2017:

Bummer. I think a lot of the nausea issues were with flicker and mismatch of movement with perceived movement, and none if the new VR rigs have that problem now. That was more of a beta issue. Nice monitor, though, you should just use a big screen TV now. The LED's are fast enough and you won't get any judder.
Dont know if "better" is the word for the Vive. The current issue is its not an apples to apples comparison. The big difference is the Rift doesn't have its hand controllers yet. From what I have seen that is the only aspect possibly pushing the Vive currently ahead. From all accounts the Rift headset itself is the same or better. Also with multiple cameras for the Rift you can run around the room like you can with the Vive.
Is it just me or would this movie Hardcore Henry be the bees knees in VR? Seen it and it wasnt bad, all basically in first person view throughout the whole movie, new concept for sure. Need the guys with headsets to have a look at this!

I got my HTC Vive today, and it's awesome. The most impressive VR I've seen are the demos for VR Mark, by 3D Mark, really shows where VR is headed, It should work on the OR too.
