but the spec could change and then youd have to change hardware

rough osprey
#

rip Qualcomm

astral haven
#

?

#

i mean they are part of writing the spec lol

#

they probably will be able to convince them not to change

rough osprey
#

nah what is this

pale sigil
#

Ah yes

#

Monitor your mental health on a device that contributes to the bad side of it.

rough osprey
#

Therapists gonna make money

pale sigil
#

She just told everyone to touch grass

ashen spindle
#

oh god even more person tracking

astral haven
#

yaaaay

cursive summit
#

Become alchemists

rough osprey
#

lool

astral haven
#

well to be fair they are damn good at tracking

pale sigil
#

What's with the obsession of tracking your kids.

#

The biggest risk is going to school in the US Anyway havo

#

No tracking is gonna help with that

astral haven
#

and apple would love to sell you a new one every 2 months when it breaks

misty saffron
rough osprey
astral haven
#

wow apple
no xr?

rough osprey
#

apple loves Unions

#

😄

astral haven
#

rofl

rough osprey
#

they got no light

pale sigil
#

Ayyyy

#

Vr headset

#

Or at

astral haven
#

ah there it is!

rough osprey
#

apple2

#

😳

ashen spindle
#

fucking finally took them long enough

rough osprey
#

nice meta quest you got there

#

ayo

#

glass

shadow minnow
#

Self tinting glass? Would be cool

pale sigil
rough osprey
#

looks kinda good

astral haven
#

nah it looks awful

#

you need a headstrap over 100 grams

#

even 80 grams is pushing it

ashen spindle
#

ah fuck it seems fully wired

astral haven
#

obviously

shadow minnow
#

Yeah sadly

astral haven
#

theres no space for a battery in there

rough osprey
#

so apple vision when

astral haven
#

but belt mounted is the correct location for a battery and processor

#

i already have ordered the nreal beam

rough osprey
#

but the glass is cool af

pale sigil
#

So it's just AR?

pale sigil
astral haven
#

this is a dev kit and its gonna be 3 grand +

pale sigil
#

What you made me think of @prisma crag

ashen spindle
pale sigil
#

So this is entirely AR then

astral haven
#

now they may not call it a dev kit like the original apple watch or ipad

rough osprey
astral haven
#

or even the first 3 iphones

#

its not ar

shadow minnow
#

Hmm that may be self tinting glass

rough osprey
#

ye

#

smart

astral haven
#

its purely vr with passthrough

shadow minnow
#

Not that either

#

It is ar

#

We don’t know how much

astral haven
#

people call that ar sometimes

shadow minnow
#

But they said shadows

astral haven
#

but its just not

shadow minnow
#

Shadows on irl stuff is

rough osprey
#

i mean transparent oled exist

astral haven
#

vr and ar are different physical types of displays

shadow minnow
#

No clearly

astral haven
#

it may have beat saber

#

yep

ashen spindle
#

dam apple invented looking

rough osprey
#

eyesight

pale sigil
#

Lol

astral haven
#

and thats actually real nice to have

ashen spindle
#

feature is nice the name is a meme

rough osprey
#

is this a screen or glass tho

astral haven
#

its a glass screen lol

ashen spindle
#

but why isnt it called iSight

shadow minnow
#

Wait maybe it’s not fully fully tired

#

Wired

astral haven
rough osprey
#

maybe using iphone battery or sum

shadow minnow
#

Yeah

astral haven
#

🤷 yea because apple hates games

shadow minnow
#

We don’t know yet

rough osprey
#

they just made game mode

ashen spindle
#

it is a dev kit in all but name still so makes sense no amazing apps are there yet

astral haven
#

you are aware that the hololens had this?

astral haven
#

hololens was head mounted...

rough osprey
#

hololens is not dead at all

pale sigil
#

Wasn't holo lens also just projected glass

shadow minnow
#

The Mac thing is cool

astral haven
#

i just mentioned hololens because it was first at this price point

pale sigil
#

I don't see the practicality of this at all

rough osprey
#

hololens 2

shadow minnow
#

Yeah phone powered

rough osprey
#

still getting used tho

astral haven
#

yea because they made it for windows mixed reality

ashen spindle
#

stock market aint a fan yet lol

astral haven
#

its already priced in now

rough osprey
#

so whats price

astral haven
#

3k+

cursive summit
#

Man those soliders don't get the good shit

astral haven
#

but noone should buy this first gen one

#

if you want this right now, you can get the xreal beam + air for around 500

ashen spindle
#

lololol imagine your dad comes in with this that shit on to record your cake on birthday

#

that looks so dystopian

rough osprey
#

ahahah

#

ye

astral haven
#

people will absolutely make dummy heads with bluetooth and remote controls so you can use it like a real camera

#

well if the cameras are any good

ashen spindle
rough osprey
#

hope this is included in the next black mirror episodes

AMD spills the beans on Ryzen 8000 AM5 series AMD commits to the AM5 socket for Ryzen 8000 series.  An updated roadmap featuring AMD AM5 desktop socket has been shared by the company during the recent Meet The Expert webcast. This was discovered by hardware leak detective @harukaz5719. The company has confirmed its 4-year plan […]

astral haven
#

now if they do actually have ambient lighting that would be pretty sweet

pale sigil
#

It definitely looks pretty cool

shadow minnow
#

Not sure if its self tinting or all virtual but that’s cool

astral haven
#

"no other device in the world"

shadow minnow
#

Games

rough osprey
#

Gaming

astral haven
#

besides the pimax and the psvr

shadow minnow
#

Except 3d possibility

astral haven
#

thats just a controller issue

rough osprey
#

mickey mouse edition pls

pale sigil
#

The Disney vr app is dope

#

Just saying

rough osprey
#

no way all of them using apple watches

astral haven
#

anyone who doesnt would be escorted off the premises lmao

rough osprey
#

Utini

astral haven
#

yep

rough osprey
#

damn i can create friends

astral haven
#

here come the vr games

pale sigil
#

I loved what if

#

XD

shadow minnow
#

But beat saber??

#

What if it costed 10k£

astral haven
#

apple would never stoop so low to work with facebook directly

rough osprey
#

looks cool af

#

man

#

i better sell my tv

astral haven
#

yea well

#

not yet

#

the screens arent high enough res yet

shadow minnow
#

Ok technical side I am curious about

rough osprey
#

more then 4k

shadow minnow
rough osprey
#

i guess

crisp granite
#

man VR can't remain a pipe dream forever

shadow minnow
#

Over 4k

#

We will see now

astral haven
rough osprey
#

if the fake screens are 4k

shadow minnow
#

We will see they’ll say

astral haven
shadow minnow
#

What if you need glasses

#

Is a question

#

Also scratches fun

astral haven
#

insert lenses already exist for most headsets

rough osprey
#

it doesn't look that expensive tbh

astral haven
#

its gonna be 3k+

shadow minnow
#

It’s gonna be 1500k

#

1500

#

Whoops

#

Or 700

ashen spindle
#

It’s not plastic so even the chassis is expensive xD

shadow minnow
#

True tbf

#

Both the glass and the alumium will

#

Modular ok that’s also not gonna be good

#

Ok it’s gonna be 3k

#

I am convinced now

rough osprey
#

12€

shadow minnow
#

2€

astral haven
#

i would not be shocked if they sold it for alot more but 3k is the rumor

shadow minnow
#

Oh so battery

rough osprey
#

bruh you gonna need new glasses

shadow minnow
#

That actually makes sense

#

The battery

#

Since safes weight

rough osprey
#

ah nice

astral haven
#

oh no

#

that means the main processor is inside the headset

shadow minnow
#

Inb4 they don’t tell us the price

rough osprey
#

no m2 ultra?

astral haven
#

that means fan needed

shadow minnow
#

I doubt it

#

It’s apple

#

They didn’t put a fan into MacBooks

#

There’s no way they’d put it here

#

Like really no way

astral haven
#

if theres no fan itll cook your face

ashen spindle
#

Yeah apparently leaks said it gets quite warm

shadow minnow
#

Actually hmm the bottom looks fan like

#

23milion pixels

rough osprey
#

microoled?

pale sigil
#

Square?

shadow minnow
#

Not bad resolution could be better but it’s still a ton

pale sigil
#

What's the res

shadow minnow
#

Is there any headset rn with higher resolution? No idea myself so asking

pale sigil
#

I missed it

shadow minnow
#

23milion pixels in total

#

I think

rough osprey
#

4k is like 8million

astral haven
shadow minnow
#

Yes

#

They said that

rough osprey
#

ye

pale sigil
#

This looks weird

shadow minnow
#

That’s before lenses

astral haven
#

oh dear m2

rough osprey
#

okay expensive

shadow minnow
#

But like that resolution is crazy

pale sigil
#

Holy

#

Wtf hahahahhaha

rough osprey
#

virtually silent

#

?

astral haven
shadow minnow
#

Yeah

astral haven
#

thats nearing 20 ppd

pale sigil
#

Oh lmao

astral haven
#

humans are capable of seeing 80ppd

pale sigil
#

Its not glass?

rough osprey
#

ye display

#

not transparent

pale sigil
#

It uses virtual eyes.

shadow minnow
#

What’s the current highest res vr headset?

astral haven
#

obviously

astral haven
ashen spindle
#

If we account Headset coming out this year

astral haven
#

varjo is at 40ppd but they only do it over a small portion of the screen

shadow minnow
#

So apple will be around that I think

astral haven
#

yea but again its behind the xr3 in terms of density

#

and the xr3 is real good but its not quite enough

shadow minnow
#

But like if it’s not whole screen it’s not well too useful. Well it’s useful but

#

Anyways I am curious about price

astral haven
#

its good enough for text but its not quite enough to resolve a 27 inch 4k screen at 1 meter

#

because they dont have xr3's?

#

hmm

rough osprey
#

Students??

astral haven
#

maybe because they are looking out of the corners of their eyes?

#

the xr3 only has that high res in the direct middle of the screen

ashen spindle
#

Yes students can use hardware at an university, doesn’t mean they expect students to buy it

rough osprey
#

Microsoft???

astral haven
#

the parents of the uni students buy the hardware

ashen spindle
#

In the us sure, here the university would have it

rough osprey
#

this keynote long af

#

ah true

shadow minnow
#

The app compatibility thing is cool

#

Oh working with unity

#

That’s cool

#

Maybe we will get 3d games soon for it

turbid tiger
#

same with microsoft

#

here in Germany Apple is used because it's quite popular in the youth and lots of people know it

turbid tiger
#

I'm always disgusted seeing everyone in class having an ipad

rough osprey
#

ah ye

turbid tiger
#

it's their own rn

rough osprey
#

ipad best hehe

shadow minnow
#

@pale sigil is an iPad shill too

turbid tiger
#

but our school will get actual ipads

shadow minnow
turbid tiger
#

Funnily enough the teachers all get surface tablets tho

rough osprey
#

i see a mix of apple and surface stuff tbh

turbid tiger
astral haven
#

the pimax crystal is 42ppd
but the apple should have higher fov so closer to 40 ppd probably

pale sigil
shadow minnow
astral haven
#

the nreal is at 50 ppd and its nowhere near good enough for text

shadow minnow
#

And well macbooks nowadays too

turbid tiger
#

meh still feel disgusted by their ecosystem

shadow minnow
#

I mean yeah they’re not very consumer friendly for sure

#

But I betrayed customer friendliness lol

ashen spindle
#

Not very human friendly*

shadow minnow
#

It’s too convenient in some ways for me

#

Anyways 3k when

astral haven
#

the xr3 goes up to 70 ppd, and even that isnt human eye level

shadow minnow
#

Ok I am a bit behind closing this channel to see price on the screen

ashen spindle
#

3.5k

astral haven
#

owch

shadow minnow
#

Oh Wtf

pale sigil
#

Rip

astral haven
#

yea this is a real expensive dev kit

shadow minnow
#

I thought they’d try to make it cheap

pale sigil
#

I'll get it in 10 years

shadow minnow
#

So many people use it

#

But that’s like

rough osprey
#

ah ye comparing sourround sound system to 2 little speakers

astral haven
#

the tech is pretty expensive

rough osprey
#

whats the eu apple tax

shadow minnow
#

Teachers salary for third a year

rough osprey
#

5k?

shadow minnow
#

It’s same with earphones

#

If you have isolated

pale sigil
#

1gb ram havo

shadow minnow
#

You need only two

ashen spindle
astral haven
#

yea the index earspeakers are insanely awesome

shadow minnow
#

I am surprised kinda it’s not M3

rough osprey
#

headphones don't come close to sourround sound system tho

ashen spindle
#

m3 wont be out this year

#

maybe towards the end of it

astral haven
shadow minnow
astral haven
#

and they do in practice in vr

shadow minnow
#

This will have headrracjing and also surroundings tracking

#

Yeah true

rough osprey
astral haven
#

google made an insane tech demo back in like 2018 of their spatial audio and it slaps

rough osprey
#

it's still fake

ashen spindle
#

anyway next gen will be interresting but I'll look forward to get one to test at work

astral haven
rough osprey
#

how will headphones represent a sound coming from above me

shadow minnow
#

If your whole head is scanned

astral haven
shadow minnow
#

They just need to follow the sound profile

rough osprey
#

weird eq stuff

astral haven
#

nope

#

its timing

rough osprey
#

ye

#

not good

#

like im not a fan of this virtual Surround sound stuff

astral haven
#

vr is a different story

#

and earspeakers are a different story from headphones

#

the index earspeakers arent perfect but they are crazy close to mixing quality at least above 100hz
they definetly fall off a bit at the lower end

pale sigil
#

I simply can't see myself wearing that headset like that

astral haven
#

im really scared about the refresh rate and persistence tho

#

yea but the beam costs $500 total and is likely higher refresh rate

pale sigil
#

Just realised the quest went back to its default price

astral haven
#

look at nreal (xreal now)

pale sigil
#

Ik it's not new news

astral haven
#

yea they announced the drop when they did the quest 3

#

nreal beam is literally just 3 extra virtual monitors

#

and that means itll support everything

#

and because the nreal is actually ar, you can use your normal peripherals too

pale sigil
#

So like

#

As cool as the apple headset is

astral haven
#

the only interesting part os the software

astral haven
#

its literally just virtual monitors

#

but because its an AR device not a vr one, you can use your normal peripherals

#

and you can use it in combination with your other devices

#

and it works with every desktop environment that exists already

#

you get whatever desktop you currently have in whatever space you currently have

#

other way around

#

darker the better

#

but its tinted so its pretty tough to overpower it unless its the actual sun

#

ive used it outdoors and it works fine

#

it gets rather tough when you are dealing with noon sun on white surfaces but 🤷

#

and the beam just released
the nreal currently only works with android (with video over usb c out only) pc (ish) mac (ish), but the beam will allow hdmi and wireless input or arbitrary monitors

ashen spindle
#

someone made a point, this will not succeed if the #1 genre stays out of the app store

#

porn

#

that would actually sell it more

astral haven
#

if theres a web browser...

#

with webgpu and openxr its probably already on its way to being in web browsers

ashen spindle
#

yes but if there was a app for it int he store that would make it so much more convenient for people who dont know how to navigate and use stuff correctly

astral haven
#

why?

#

wouldnt just going to a website and hitting a button be more convenient?

ashen spindle
#

if they all do it well I guess that works

astral haven
ashen spindle
#

yeah true I guess

astral haven
#

either way we shall see
if virtualdesktop makes a realityos variant, i may be interested

#

because despite not being great ppd, its actually probably gonna be pretty solid fov

rough osprey
#

damn us only

#

😭

astral haven
#

🤷 same as all the other dev products

#

remember this is the first gen

#

its gonna be equally outclassed by the second gen as the iphone, ipad, watch

#

and itll probably be half the price too

crimson wigeon
#

Oh yey got to keep my discord name, now I have no reason to be angry about the name thing ecks dee

sharp badger
frozen ingot
#

apple smoking crack with their pricing as usual

astral haven
#

the pricing is extremely reasonable actually

ashen spindle
#

yeah

astral haven
#

the problem is this is damn expensive tech

ashen spindle
#

hence its an dev kit in all but name

frozen ingot
#

its closer to 5 grand here after taxes

astral haven
#

but think of it like a pair of high end tvs + a macbook?

ashen spindle
#

doesnt matter what it costs in other currencies

astral haven
#
  • those headphone things
#

and + a reasonable camera

ashen spindle
#

they cant just build it cheaper in europe

frozen ingot
#

sure you might get some spicy tech, but who's gonna buy this thing

#

except for filthy rich people

astral haven
#

what?

ashen spindle
#

developers

frozen ingot
#

and develop for who?

astral haven
#

filthy rich people have multiple tvs and macbooks already

frozen ingot
#

the 10 people who bought it?

ashen spindle
#

for the next gen that will be cheaper and more compact

astral haven
#

this is for folks with small rooms who want big screens

frozen ingot
#

every other vr manufacturer have trouble shifting their stuff at 1/3 the price

ashen spindle
#

as I said its a dev kit in all but name, so people buy it to make stuff for it and then a cheaper version follows later

astral haven
#

id buy one that ran android apps in a heartbeat even with the same quality screen

frozen ingot
#

I'd be surprised if apple manages to reverse that trend

#

but we'll see

astral haven
frozen ingot
#

and yet they're still hemorraging money on their VR business

astral haven
#

the quest 2 sold millions and its got an awful screen

astral haven
#

remember these aint glass screens

sharp badger
astral haven
#

these are silicon substrate screens

frozen ingot
#

tens of thousands isn't really amazing sales figures when you're used to shifting consoomer electronics like phones and laptops in the millions

astral haven
#

the original iphone sold not that amazingly

#

worse than the quest 2

#

and apple is looking to get this stuff into folks hands so that people can try it

ashen spindle
frozen ingot
#

I mean the problem with vr so far has been relatively high price of entry and few worthwhile apps on the platforms, pricing your headset even further way out of the plebians reach doesn't bode well for its success

#

but again, apple has pulled off success with odds stacked against them before

astral haven
#

the point isnt to sell units to everyone

#

the point is to get economies of scale on their dev unit

ashen spindle
#

they are also heavily supply constraint

astral haven
#

^ this too

ashen spindle
#

aka no point making it dirt cheap if they cant fulfill the orders

astral haven
#

you also have the front screen
So you can estimate price
a flagship smartphone with even more cameras tbh (front screen, cameras) 1k
basically a mid end mac studio (second large custom processor, metal chassis) another 1k
then add on the internal screens, no clue on pricing but think chip the size of a 3090 x2( 700 if we are being generous each)
the lenses (pancake optics from zeiss arent cheap) x2 500 each

thats 4400 of hardware tbh

naive dragon
#

yup indeed

#

🙂

astral haven
#

real sorry cameron, they couldnt spell my name 🤣

naive dragon
#

all good hahaha

wheat plume
#

Apple's AR headset is $3500

cursive summit
#

Still only 3.5x that mac stand

astral haven
#

The press release says 12ms

#

Question is that latency or frametime

fair gull
#

i know why its so expensive

astral haven
#

That sounds like a fantastic idea without any possible consequences /s

fair gull
#

golden connectors

cursive summit
#

Apple always charges 10x more the normal price if the product has a metal frame

astral haven
#

Well except it isn't that cheap any more...

#

The meta one is cheap because it's literally smartphone tech

ashen spindle
#

rumours say they even have to fix broken screens because its too expensive to throw them away and yield takes so long to ramp up

astral haven
#

Apple is expensive because it's 3 gigantic silicon chips + 1 more smartphone sized ones

astral haven
ashen spindle
#

yes micro oled, I've seen enough on that tech xD

#

yes, that is the market its aimed at

cursive summit
#

So what's the point of these glasses?

#

What do the do

ashen spindle
#

industrial use, showing ar overlay of a machine or such

cursive summit
#

I like the look on the hololens

#

What about the apple one?

ashen spindle
#

hololens is AR vision pro is VR

astral haven
#

It's the same as the steam VR and meta one basically

#

The native steamvr environment has basically everything besides passthrough

ashen spindle
#

quest handtracking is quite nice

astral haven
#

The quest does and works with steamvr

#

Apple obviously did a better job of integrating stuff together but is missing the whole v of VR except for Disney

#

However if you can use it with openxr from a PC then it'll be great

#

obviously its not what apple wants you to do

#

you just need an nreal

#

i mean xreal

#

screw whoever sued them to change names you should have sued them 5 years ago

vast geyser
#

hall effect car pedals when

wheat plume
#

They had to change name cause they got sued???

astral haven
#

yea its not bright enough for proper hdr so theres no real point

wheat plume
#

.....

#

Ok

#

Why

#

Is

#

Everything bad

ashen spindle
#

xreal works better for them imo

wheat plume
#

Related to epic

astral haven
#

yea they are making XR

pale sigil
ashen spindle
#

also we have been over this, trademarks can be weakend or even be lost if you dont enforce them

#

so apple suing some fruit shop is over the top, epic making sure unreal is safe by someone else not using nreal is quite fair imo

cursive summit
#

I would argue that the trademark here doesn't apply

#

You are suing someone for naming their company Nreal, cause your software suite uses the word "Unreal"

#

A fuckin word

#

If someone made their own software suite Nreal, then sure you can sue

astral haven
#

and both are heavily invested in vr ar xr

ashen spindle
#

they hold the trademark, it is a very overlapping market and it even sounds almost the same depending on how you pronounce it

cursive summit
#

Lol you just should not be able to sue someone cause they used a word resembling "Unreal"

ashen spindle
#

that is like as close as you can get without offering the same product with the exact same name

ashen spindle
wheat plume
#

I'm in severe need for a material you themed Whatsapp client

#

WhatsApp is a super ugly app

ashen spindle
#

like you can dislike epic however you want but keep a rational thought when a trademark is protect like literally every company would do it

astral haven
#

its for chatting outside of the us to non techies

wheat plume
#

I fail to see how Nreal and Unreal sound similar

#

Other than the real part

#

It's a messaging app from Facebook

Basically a super shitty version of Telegram or Signal

ashen spindle
#

the same way you pronounce nvidia en-vidia in most cases you dont actually pronounce nreal like its spelled

wheat plume
#

En-real

#

Un-real

ashen spindle
#

yes

wheat plume
#

They do not sound similar enough to justify taking shit to court IMO

#

En and Un are very different sounds

ashen spindle
#

uhhh

#

sure

#

guess that is something we easily disagree on then lol

wheat plume
#

?

#

Make those sounds rn
They don't sound similar enough for court

ashen spindle
#

if you just mumble a bit it's impossible to tell apart which one was said

#

idk what to say

wheat plume
#

The Eh sound is very different to Uh

ashen spindle
#

I also dont say uhnreal

wheat plume
#

How do you say it??

ashen spindle
#

unreal

wheat plume
#

U-nreal xd

ashen spindle
#

un-real

#

idk I think that is easily something you can mention to someone and you can mistake and it that is already more than needed to qualify, then it's in the same business segment and all

#

literally the first video I find to see how randoms pronounce it they ask if its nnnnnreal, enreal or

final flame
#

"real"

pale sigil
#

Better

#

My watch is drunk

rough osprey
#

what could go wrong

pale sigil
#

it baffles me the Pixel phones cant use HDMI

astral haven
pale sigil
#

hmm?

#

from what ive gathered its capable but google disabled it

astral haven
#

Yes but you need to run wires from the chip to the port

pale sigil
#

ah

#

idk man

Samsung only does it on Galaxy s and the fold

Sony does it on everything
Xiaomi and Huawei only do it on flagships

Xiaomi do it on their budget tablets

Xiaomi dont do it on lower end phones because they are usb 2

also

apparently it does work over DisplayLink

in theory this could be re enabled int he future right?

wonder how good they manage the voice input in the headset to be

ashen spindle

Reminds me of phone dials

misty saffron

its pretty average in ios unfortunately

maybe im just unintelligible

shadow minnow

Hmm apparently the eye tracking being really good allows to just render sharply what youre focusing on

Makes sense

ashen spindle
#

Yes foveated rendering is old news

shadow minnow
#

Indeed but it’s cool it’s there

#

I don’t think they explicitly mentioned it

ashen spindle
#

No point on explaining what most would understand at them not showing the full 4K image

misty saffron
#

moreover valve already does that in hla, just without eye tracking

ashen spindle
#

Bit different as this will have it at the OS level vs a game scaling it

#

But is also needed here vs most other headsets just having a stronger gpu in the pc when tethered

*@EKWaterBlocks is entering the #SimRacing market with their new product, the "EK Sim Racer."

Starting at $19,900 (excluding PC*

#

EXCLUDING THE "#¤#¤% PC. 20 large! What the actual hell 😄

frozen ingot
#

tbh VR makes sim rigs like that pretty pointless

#

nothing comes close to the immersion of it

#

you get a whole nother level of depth perception too which is very beneficial for racing giving you a much better idea of distance between assets

reef patrol
#

With that kind of pricetag, you could buy an actual car and mount a steering wheel and a subwoofer to the seat 😄

visual bloom
#

Can someone please help me im slowly giving up on my keyboard

#

haha

pale sigil
#

Did it cheat on you

frozen ingot
#

yeah a racing wheel and a quest 2 is also a more affordable option

pale sigil
#

Or does or have commitment problems

drowsy bridge
#

Being in a vr is good but full motion rig does feel nicer

#

To me

#

Anyway

visual bloom
frozen ingot
#

I mean sure you could still have the rocking seat and all

#

but as a screen VR beats just looking at a single flat monitor every day of the week in terms of actually feeling like you're there and percieving things with a more realistic sense of depth

visual bloom
#

i just want to use the features of the keyboard but the app just doesnt want to connect to my keyboard

pale sigil
#

What are you using

#

Web or download

frozen ingot
#

I think the simrigs should just drop the screen part of the setup and replace that with a headset

visual bloom
frozen ingot
#

keep the rest

drowsy bridge
pale sigil
#

Linux?

visual bloom
drowsy bridge
drowsy bridge
#

How some people are motion sick too

frozen ingot
#

the tech could still be better but it keeps improving all the time

#

I think as resolution and refresh rate goes up the disorientation will be less of an issue

#

but there's always an adjustment period

drowsy bridge
#

Thats the priblem i find personally

#

Is seeing the pixels

frozen ingot
#

I remember the first headsets I tried around 2012 and it was horrible, fuzzy, pixelated and low refresh rate

fading ore
#

They still are

frozen ingot
#

trying a quest 2 or a valve index wasn't nearly as problematic

drowsy bridge
frozen ingot
#

so its definitely heading in the right direction

fading ore
#

Best headset for latency and resolution is the Vive2 and it still looks pretty shit

frozen ingot
#

I found it a bit uncomfy for 5 minutes or so but got used to it pretty quickly

#

whereas with a rift a decade ago the strain and discomfort never went away

fading ore
#

pixel density (per fov) is lower than 720p monitors at 2ft.

drowsy bridge
#

I play ac on sim rig 80% of the time i use vr it is great and feels natural it just puts me off so much when i get an eyeful of pixels🤣

frozen ingot
#

yeah

#

give it a couple more years and hopefully we got high enough res and refresh that it won't be so apparent anymore

#

That is rather insane that a mobile chip matches a high end desktop part

#

The newest RTX mobiles are like RTX 3050 performance or something like that last I checked

ashen spindle
#

What

#

The 4090 laptop which is the 4080 in mobile is about a 6900xt/3080

cursive summit
#

Must have been the 4060 or whatever that was like 3050 desktop

astral haven
#

Prolly thinking of the 4050

ashen spindle
#

Lower end ada laptops are meme material but 200w into a chip is not that far off of a desktop chip from last gen

astral haven
#

The only way you would match 3050 desktop with 4060 mobile is if you give the desktop a waaaaay stronger CPU which can be possible but still real bad practice

Ew gigabyte

#

Also 13600k from 3500

ashen spindle
#

Ew quest 2

astral haven
#

And quest 2 has very obviously worse displays

#

PS5 + psvr2 is less obvious tho

frozen ingot
#

I mean yeah quest 2 is objectively worse as a headset

#

I'd still go with the first option though mm

astral haven
ashen spindle
#

Get a Quest 3 at least smh

frozen ingot
#

1000 mcnuggets that's like 6 months of food

Or buy 2 msi 32:9 240hz qd-oled

VR headsets do definetly have advantages over monitors tho
Specially with positioning and repositioning

It’s for 200 nugget

I have both the HD600 and the Index, and I'd say tehy sound almost indistinguishable

Insert nitro ad

it replaced classic

So other than nitro, does discord have another revenue stream

Hmmmm

fair gull

yes

monetized servers

partners can setup paid tiers of support. discord gets a cut

and a lot of just general investment from companies

TeamSpeak FTW

fair gull

for example teamspeaks voice quality and permission system are unrivalled. but to text in a channel you need to join that channel in voice and you can only be in 1 channel at a time. you also dont get a backlog. servers? need to connect to all of them directly via IP or find em in the browser.

not to mention server cost for anything beyond 25 actively connected users

Does TS have a setup wizard (like Mumble) users need to go through? Discord desperately needs that

fair gull
#

discord just beats out other platforms due to a nicer package. guilded is hot on their heals though... especially cause of basically unlimited money due to being owned by roblox

fair gull
#

can set a required security level and identities need to then compute up to the level

#

which takes exponentially more time

gusty kiln

Lol roblox seems like a sleeping juggernaut

In other "streaming platform shoots self in foot", Twitch is limited ads and sponsorships in a way that's hilariously impossible to do.

And or course their own streams don't even remotely come close to following the same guidelines havo

shadow minnow
#

It’s not well necessarily speed but noise

#

But b2 a2 difference hmm I am wondering what’s the reason to use B2 there

thick elk
#

The actual answer should be Why the hell are you trying to run single channel.

#

Besides that the practical benefit of using b2 is that it leaves more room for the cpu cooler, and at that point unless you are going for a memory frequency record small differences like that probably won't matter here

shadow minnow
#

Maybe I’ll stick to macOS havo

Don't think that made it to release tho

and the video suggestions are almost all on point except 1 or 2 every 30-40 videos

I approve all the tech videos

ashen spindle

its VR not mixed and not AR lol, it's VR with passthrough cameras and a screen on the front

When you are using fully pass through mode though isn’t it kinda AR

reef patrol
# fair gull

Motherfucker's got 6 videos wide. But they're not all subs

#

You just can't win with YT 😄

ashen spindle
#

no passthrough still renders it so its fully VR

#

and you then put all the changes into the VR room not into a real space on top

shadow minnow
#

Idk the experience is basically AR, just glasses are still VR.
Though it will be self tinting but I guess good enough cameras work too

fair gull

nor do i sub to everyone

and yet all videos suggested is what i watch
