Some graphics driver I installed man

vocal shard
#

Sounds like the hdmi is running from the integrated graphics. Like some laptops tend to do where they split the gpu workload

tiny ginkgo
#

Hmm and you tried forcing it to switch with the F buttons and other things or?

vocal shard
#

intel chipset .. eww mobile

tiny ginkgo
#

Oh

covert linden
#

I wasnt sure how to do much

tiny ginkgo
#

Fair enough

covert linden
#

I updated the nvidia

tiny ginkgo
#

Yay!

vocal shard
#

Get a desktop and be free of troubles..

covert linden
#

Ima update nvidia or at least try and so if theres any tips theb

#

Not everyone can be rich like u I haveno job

#

I wont soon anyway

vocal shard
#

im not rich

#

and i have no job.

queen mango
#

Not me...

vocal shard
#

im just entitled.. doesnt mean im lucky in any way though..

tiny ginkgo
#

You're never free of trouble

covert linden
#

If you have any tips on how I could get it to sense the hdmi pls tell ill screenshot and try it all

#

Once its done resetting

queen mango
#

I am still considering if I should get a part-time job in a fast-food restaurant.. like practice for the real job I want to take

#

...once I finish school

vocal shard
#

go into device manager tab and check if that port is correctly showing.. not a yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark helps..

covert linden
#

The hdmi itself is functional

#

Its a brand new laptop its not a broken hmi

#

Hdmi

vocal shard
#

so you believe it to be software aka driver?

covert linden
#

Yeah

vocal shard
#

if it is a nvidia based card.. might as well go with the beta

covert linden
#

I tried to update them and it broke my screen

ruby needle
#

brand new is no guarantee for anything ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Just wanting to trow that out there ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

queen mango
#

Hmm.. have you tried using the "Run with Graphics Processor" option to run Oculus?

tiny ginkgo
#

Have you tried something else on the HDMI port?

covert linden
#

Literally my screen was half my screen

tiny ginkgo
#

Tv or whatever

vocal shard
#

wait.. can you explain how it broke your screen please?

#

LOL

queen mango
#

Half the screen?

vocal shard
#

half a screen

covert linden
#

Ill check once Its done hard resetting

vocal shard
#

lols that sounds like rest of display was active on second monitor..

tiny ginkgo
#

Okay

vocal shard
#

horizontal split

covert linden
#

Ok my view, was tinyified, and half of my actual able screen

dark narwhal
#

She updated her nvidia drver and her Intel udh 630 drivers and the screen went wack on reset

covert linden
#

But,there wqs half of another of the same screens below my screen

vocal shard
#

half screen.. yeah so monitor switched over to whatever other device you have plugged in and hz was scaled down and your prime being the one you was looking at possibly became to 2nd monitor and thus adopted values of prime monitor.

#

so reduced sceen size.. dpi and hz downgrade

covert linden
#

Its hard resetting now so I hope that fixes it but

tiny ginkgo
#

Ashs can you possibly take a photo with your phone or something of the problem?

covert linden
#

I have one ill dm i

tiny ginkgo
#

Alright

covert linden
#

Dmed

vocal shard
#

can always rollback driver from device manager to advoid that happening again.. sounds more like you were using the intel chipset.. and yet when you upgraded to nvidia via software.. your nvidia chipset kicked in and overide the intel chipset

covert linden
#

See but I updated both

dark narwhal
#

Thats what i think

covert linden
#

I just want my screen to be fixed and yknow

#

To pet lolis

cinder mesa
#

Lol

dark narwhal
vocal shard
#

well i dont have a clue about pet lolis but technical.. i am

#

i can help with that but .. i dont want to know what is on ur mind. lol

tiny ginkgo
#

Pet me instead I'm tall.. I hope tall and long legs gets a renaissance soon

dark narwhal
#

^better not knowing she does not usually wera socks

covert linden
#

I just mean I wanna be able to ude my oculus

#

Use

vocal shard
#

well.. age also comes into question

dark narwhal
#

Age doesnt exist change my mind

tiny ginkgo
#

Old wine is better than new

dark narwhal
#

Mind is changed thx

vocal shard
#

heh

#

that is as true as my eyes are blue. (they are that aint just my monitor)

covert linden
#

Pls dm me any advice anyone has to get it to scan the hdmi once I test the hdmi is functionallll

tiny ginkgo
#

Let us hear what is going on when it's ready

covert linden
#

Ok

vocal shard
#

tiny ginkgo
#

close hug

vocal shard
#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

dark narwhal
vocal shard
#

your warm and fuzzy like a soft pillow that smells nice

queen mango
#

It's never cold in my place..

tiny ginkgo
#

Thank you

vocal shard
#

Well im in england and im in the countryside we have a triple polar problem right now thanks to greenlands weather hiting us

#

-2 right now but dropping off preety quick

tiny ginkgo
#

I'm going back to Spain the day after tomorrow... I miss my VR gear but I mostly miss my sun

#

The holidays are finally over

vocal shard
#

.. heh yeah well it cant stay sunny forever not even over there ๐Ÿ˜›

queen mango
#

Well, it's 24โ„ƒ right now over here. And my holidays are gonna end in another week.

vocal shard
#

24c is a lovely warm temp in england.. thats our summers..

queen mango
#

Yea.. You can experience that all-year long in equatorial countries

vocal shard
#

last year itemp max was 35c was a record..

rough pulsar
#

24c in england is when the roads start melting, the elderly die, the government issues a heatwave warning and the NHS goes into panic mode.
35c is basically the end times.

queen mango
#

๐Ÿ‘€

vocal shard
#

never gets over 28c usually lol

#

pff your a lightweight gallium it wasnt that bad

#

Air conditioners

tiny ginkgo
#

35C - Armageddon confirmed

queen mango
#

35โ„ƒ over here in the PH: It's a hot day today

rough pulsar
#

Well now I finally have one installed at home summer is tolerable

vocal shard
#

when i lived in america i dealt with NW united states weather in 43c every summer for weeks on end and forrest fires that blocked out the sun for months on end.

tiny ginkgo
#

My electrical bill is.... Horrendous

#

Air condition saves my VR sessions

queen mango
#

But it's kinda unbearable for me, so I wanna live somewhere a little colder.

vocal shard
#

Get it on the coucil Gallium?

#

didnt realise council put in ac units

rough pulsar
#

Nah, plus we own this house so we can do what we like with it.

vocal shard
#

haha im only messing with yah

#

yeah no council will ever do that for anyone ๐Ÿ˜„

queen mango
#

It's never a dull moment with you, Omega

vocal shard
#

Yeah well thats what happens when you have multiple pesonalities.. most of which are sexually frustrated with one another.

#

things happen.

queen mango
#

Yea..

fair yew
#

My mic input only activates when I talk really loudly

#

I shouldn't have to talk so loud if I wanna speak to anyone

vocal shard
#

sounds like you need to adjust mic input sensetivity or up db from settings.

tiny ginkgo
#

Try to download Audacity and record yourself to test your volume

rough pulsar
#

Yeah, vrchat should pick up at least regular volume speech with the audio settings right

fair yew
#

My mic sucks anyway, being attached to my headphones, I sound so low quality.

vocal shard
#

I have multiple microphones.. make sure your microphone thats being used is actually correct also

rough pulsar
#

That too, due to a unity bug you can't change the mic device in vrchat, you need to make sure it's set correctly before starting vrchat.

tiny ginkgo
#

There is also microphone boost which you can activate with varying results

vocal shard
#

headset microphone likes to change occasionly to my stereo webcam.. happens sometimes not always

fair yew
#

Windows settings here i come

vocal shard
#

Gallium cant you just set the id of hardware device through an ini or something of the like?

opaque hawk
#

Windows setting will have a mode to hear yourself for testing

stark comet
#

so anyone having the pea soup void again?

vocal shard
#

that way you could bypass it

tiny ginkgo
#

heat yourself for testing mmmm

fair yew
#

Nope, Windows settings.

vocal shard
#

pea soup doesnt sound very pleasing.

opaque hawk
#

Phone typing sucks

tiny ginkgo
#

I'm on my phone as well in bed. I know what you mean

vocal shard
#

... your in bed?

tiny ginkgo
#

Yep

lime grotto
#

Does anyone here know how i could control the intensity Value from an Emitting Shader through the microphone output volume?

tiny ginkgo
#

Don't get any thoughts. I use Discord to relax only

lime grotto
#

ok

#

XD

tiny ginkgo
lime grotto
#

yes i did

vocal shard
#

i use discord to err.. relax as well ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

tiny ginkgo
vocal shard
#

How can one drown out the thoughts that are so rapidly overthinking certain processes.. it is a hard thing to not think into thinking about something when your thinking about it.

tiny ginkgo
#

You have to let someone else suffer to clear your head

vocal shard
#

i dont want to be a cereal killer though

tiny ginkgo
#

No need for that

#

Load your mind on them and hope they can survive the weight

vocal shard
#

im preety well built not really fat or anything of the like.. sure they could bare the weight

tiny ginkgo
#

I'm speaking of the weight of your thoughts

vocal shard
#

ah well.. my thoughts are dictated by my hormones.. and they define my character

#

so i cant really stop feeling like that.. lol

tiny ginkgo
#

Don't ever stop feeling

vocal shard
#

Say no to Testosterone kids is all i can say

#

turns you into a monster.

tiny ginkgo
#

Follow your feelings and if they give you pain, do your best to recover

#

If you hold back you will never feel at all

vocal shard
#

i get what you mean.. but i've already done as you describe once in life and have a failed marriage in the process

#

so nothing can really touch that experience lol

lime grotto
#

๐Ÿ˜  ๐Ÿ”ซ ๐Ÿค›

tiny ginkgo
#

No it's okay though.

#

The alternative was to hide who you are

fluid bloom
#

that feel when youre the only person in a lobby that dont got a headset ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

vocal shard
#

it wasnt me.. im the one that left her..

#

after accepting her into my life.. forgiving three times in a row..

tiny ginkgo
#

You followed your feelings

vocal shard
#

basically all in all dont believe the bullshit you are fed thats my lifes lesson ๐Ÿ˜›

tiny ginkgo
#

And got burned

#

It happens all the time

vocal shard
#

Yeah well mines abit different..

tiny ginkgo
#

Don't follow anyones bullshit

#

Follow your feelings and try not to hurt anyone in the process, even though that is inevitable in the end

vocal shard
#

Well.. yeah i guess

#

i would say why it was different but what i have been born with actually triggers debaitable arguments in here

tiny ginkgo
#

Again... The alternative is to shut down

vocal shard
#

even when its on paper .. have people with issues

tiny ginkgo
#

People have issues

#

I have social issues. I am overly attached. It burns me a lot. But I keep trying because I hope someone will forgive me for acting crazy..

#

My alternative is to go into isolation

vocal shard
#

dont dothat..

tiny ginkgo
#

Don't judge yourself for having issues. Just try to minimize impact while expanding your happiness

#

I won't ever. I love people (too much)

vocal shard
#

listen.. i came back from america after a 2 year bust of a marriage.. and i came back and now i repeat the same cycle of isolation every day of my life.. i have agoraphobia and klinefelters..

#

i am prone to sevre anxiety and.. i cant have children.

#

so your life could be worse trust me.

tiny ginkgo
#

I know

#

I am happy with my life

#

I accept that I burn people but it still hurts me every time because I just want to be close and I don't know how

#

But I move on and try again

vocal shard
#

Well it takes.. a long time to build trust.. from my experience

#

i never did last time and i regret that

tiny ginkgo
#

Trust is important... I wonder how long it takes to build with online strangers

vocal shard
#

my first time was my only time.. ive never been with anyone else so.. she was my first girl and that was my first marriage.. i was 5000 miles away from the uk.. i moved and married in america.. and the visa took me a year to complete.

#

its a long process..

tiny ginkgo
#

How did you meet?

vocal shard
#

we met on a site online very popular called spiritualforums.. im more into paranormal field/scientific she is mainly religious.

tiny ginkgo
#

Oh so a common interest

#

Sounds like a decent starting point right?

vocal shard
#

Well i went there to not dismiss.. i went there because well she contacted me and .. it was unusual to say the least

#

well.. it depends i mean.. there are signs.. you need to watch out for like.. stalking etc..

tiny ginkgo
#

Stalking?

vocal shard
#

basically.. i bought her a gift and she somehow logged into my account and bought me the same as i was notified over my phone about someone else logging in.. she saw what i bought logged out.. and got me the exact same then lied and told me that her angels (guides) told her to buy me this particular item.. which was the same thing i bought her..

#

and we was soul mates and meant to be.. lol

tiny ginkgo
#

Ooh that's harsh

#

And very unethical

vocal shard
#

yeah.. i mean its my own fault but i felt sorry for her

tiny ginkgo
#

So you wanted to be with her because you felt sorry?

vocal shard
#

nah.. i wanted to be with her to make her not feel alone

#

and to show her love she deserves just like everyone else

tiny ginkgo
#

Oh..

#

That's nice

vocal shard
#

anyone playing atm?

#

Well.. she was my first and.. well hopefuly not last but with the way my lifes going always in unity and whatnot im lucky if i get to go anywhere nowadays lol

tiny ginkgo
#

And I assume you're done with finding people online?

vocal shard
#

Sup

#

Hey Omega, how's it going lad? long time no see

#

No im not done.. its just.. :\ ive met people on vrchat but i guess i dont speak the language rather all this meme stuff i dont understand it at all

tiny ginkgo
#

In my experience online is harder ... I'm always reading signals wrong

vocal shard
#

...

#

never have.. probably never will lol

#

Plenty of people don't understand and still go on

covert linden
#

Stuck at 37%

vocal shard
#

They just have a different experience

#

K1 i remember your name been a while hey ๐Ÿ˜›

tiny ginkgo
#

I'm with you on the meme stuff and crazy Twitch culture etc...

#

It's over my head

vocal shard
#

VRChat on Twitch is honestly kind of a mess to look at

dark narwhal

tiny ginkgo
#

I'm traveling home on Sunday but maybe late

#

Bout this time in fact.. it's 00:30 now

#

vocal shard
#

Well.. i dont know you personally Nass.. you seem like a nice guy/girl though..

#

tiny ginkgo
#

Thank you, you too

vocal shard
#

Most know me because my accent stands out

tiny ginkgo

Omg that spam... Sigh

dark narwhal
#

Ash is trying to get me killed

tiny ginkgo
#

Are you two married?

queen mango
#

Welp..

vocal shard
#

Just ascii cant really consider it spam.. not until bots turn up and then its spam ๐Ÿ˜›

dark narwhal
#

She makes me stay up all night to work on models and then i have to drive on no sleep

tiny ginkgo
#

That's slave labour

#

I'll save you but...

dark narwhal
#

Right???

#

Halp me

vocal shard
#

Make a poring from ragnarok online that bloops as it moves.. and bounces using cloth or dynamic bones..

tiny ginkgo
#

My kind of attention is .. equally demanding

vocal shard
#

big fat smiling jelly :3

dark narwhal
#

๐Ÿ‘€

tiny ginkgo
#

I'm high maintenance. I think you'll be better off in Ashs' slave camp

vocal shard
#

High maintenance?

tiny ginkgo
#

I'm.. clingy

vocal shard
#

.. you sound nice to me honestly

dark narwhal
#

Oof no sleep or no space hmmm

vocal shard
#

your personality.. is what wins you in this world.

tiny ginkgo
#

You will have no sleep with me either Doki

#

So just pick your poison

dark narwhal
#

Eek pillow chan is best chan

tiny ginkgo
#

Thank you btw Omega

dark narwhal
#

tiny ginkgo
#

dark narwhal
#

My pillow

tiny ginkgo
#

Oh so me

dark narwhal
#

DokiBlobfish tes

vocal shard
#

I love pillows :3

dark narwhal
#

Yes

vocal shard
#

a giant pillow map..

#

with pillow clouds everywhere..

#

and asmr sleepy time ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

glistening stars :3

dark narwhal
#

So u are a man of culture as well

tiny ginkgo
#

I still want one of those asmr microphones

vocal shard
#

oh 3dio ? i have one ๐Ÿ˜„

dark narwhal
#

Same

tiny ginkgo
#

I would make my own asmr world

#

And host shows

#

Sessions

dark narwhal
#

I need a go fund me for one

vocal shard
#

yeah we.. that was my intent at the time but.. im an english cockney and my voice is to deep for that so..

#

i fail miserably lol

#

but i've been using it for other means..

tiny ginkgo
#

No I think all voices have a chance .. it's about practice

#

And you can do items and such

covert linden
#

Doki does the scariest asmr

vocal shard
#

Well to be fair.. triggers are whispers i have a hard time even whispering haha

dark narwhal
#

Its tru

tiny ginkgo
#

Scariest?

dark narwhal
#

Im too good

covert linden
#

It was too real

vocal shard
#

other triggers like fingernails.. touching wet sounds.. ... yeah

tiny ginkgo
#

.. really?

#

Call me

covert linden
#

HES CALLING ME RN

vocal shard
#

lmao

tiny ginkgo
#

Wah

dark narwhal
#

I cant i ran out of MnMs

vocal shard
#

nah i'm not gonna prostitute myself like that.. i know its a thing but.. im not really into that anymore

dark narwhal
#

"Anymore"

vocal shard
#

when i was a teenager sure.. but i got older and have more respect for myself nowadays lol

tiny ginkgo
#

Oh..

#

Self respect

vocal shard
#

these are the days when we used Dalnet servers and did things over mirc ๐Ÿ˜›

tiny ginkgo
#

Now there's something I forgot how to deal with

vocal shard
#

Well.. self respect comes from that root thats always in you..

#

anyone wanna play together?

#

for me its my family and so i have them in me so i cant really change who or what i am not so much wild as i was im more humble

tiny ginkgo
#

I think I lost it somewhere. Maybe it could help me.

#

For now I just run into the arms of strangers and tell them I love them

#

Pretty pathetic. But it makes me feel... Something

vocal shard
#

inside you.. you are still a kid no matter what age you get to and as for self respect..its still there. you just need to be treated right in order to be your true self.. just my opinion though..

tiny ginkgo
#

Talk about a lack of self respect huh

#

Yeah maybe

#

I think people treat me right

#

I just don't know how to behave

vocal shard
#

Well.. people who treat you because of who you are not fame wise.. that is what i mean

#

i cant stand the fame .. when i do certain things i literally go off the radar because i dont want to hear praise

#

to me its annoying and its more a suck up rather than admiration.

covert linden
#

Id want fame bc I want people to like me

tiny ginkgo
#

I don't know anything about fame. I think it's more like if someone reaches out a hand of love or touch, I will grab the hand and consume the entire person instead of just holding their hand

vocal shard
#

people will like you based on your personality when you are your true self..

covert linden
#

I must be shitty then

vocal shard
#

you dont need to fake anything to be like anyone.. to get their approval..

tiny ginkgo
#

It's more than just that. It's also about restraint and self control

vocal shard
#

well i have that for sure.. but if you dont.. then your not clingy as such.. your needy because you feel like you said your happy but your not really you seem to be incomplete without the running up and cuddling..

#

i know of someone who is like this in rl who streams..

#

shes a nice girl.. ive known her a while..

#

shes married.. but isnt treated right.. or at all so she escapes into vrchat.

tiny ginkgo
#

Well you've described me well

#

I am needy and I don't like being it

#

But I can't stop

covert linden
#

Im needy bc lolis are cute

tiny ginkgo
#

I want to be held and loved

vocal shard
#

well.. its because you feel alone.. and i do too everyone does to a point.. isolation is really no good for mental health

#

i know only to well how that game works.

#

I live in a village that was built in the 1100's i have farmland as far as the eye can see im in a beautiful village.. but its isolated..

#

and so i kinda just stay in and do this and create things to sorta waste my lil time i may have on this lil rock we live on.

tiny ginkgo
#

I am happy though. I just feel like someone who hasn't eaten for years and every time someone offers me a hand it's s 5 course meal that I devour without thought of the person behind the hand

vocal shard
#

but i do so because it makes others happy and so it makes me happy as a result

tiny ginkgo
#

Hmm so you live isolated

modern sand
vocal shard
#

yeah. i grew up in london.. but moved out here in 2012, sicne then well its been the same routine day in day out

#

dammit buzz killington

tiny ginkgo
#

Oh.. sure thing Ruubick

vocal shard
#

lol.. alright

sacred drift
#

Is it me or is the murder map gone?

stone current
vocal shard
#

Is anyone else having the problem of not being able to favorite friends?

sacred drift
#

Did Jar take it down or something?

vocal shard
#

The murder map was playable earlier I streamed it today

velvet quarry
#

I can see the map in the public world verification queue, it should be back once it's been verified.

solid berry
#

So I saw that I need to merge my steam account with a VR chat account in order to use the SDK and upload stuff, but in my settings menu on the steam account I don't see an upgrade or merge button?

#

I'm not sure where to find that token D:

silver bane
#

that feeling when you arent allowed to login

queen mango
#

Did you input your username and password correctly?

silver bane
#

yes, several times

#

"user not found"

ruby needle
#

unauthorized?

#

oh

#

user not found

#

did you change your name?
you need to login with your user name, not display name

pastel thistle
#

can oculus do full body tracking when you have a third sensor on the floor to detect feet?

ruby needle
#

erm

#

no

#

the sensors are for IR constellation tracking

#

oculus does not (yet) provide a FBT solution

pastel thistle
#

that sucks, oh well kinect it is I guess

ruby needle
#

kinect sucks

#

get nolo or vive trackers

#

kinect is like a demo toy

stone current
#

that makes no sense tho

ruby needle
#

im surprised there is no RealSense implementation yet

meager solstice
#

u can do a hybrid setup like fpaul said

pastel thistle
#

is the nolo sensor compatible with the oculus app? or do I need steam for that?"

stone current
#

the sensors sense controllers

#

so unless ur feet are magically touch controllers

ruby needle
#

i heard that oculus does support a third one

stone current
#

yea they do

ruby needle
#

as a hip tracker cirThink

pastel thistle
#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ you mean I can legit twerk?

stone current
#

u could buy multiple controllers if u rlly wanted

pastel thistle
#

#dreamsdocometrue

ruby needle
#

native or with special driver.

stone current
#

cuz i think vrchat reads all controllers and trackers as trackers

#

so when u do full body setup it should map them by closest distance

pastel thistle
#

ah ok

ruby needle
#

im asking cus if its from oculus site it might work form the oculus release

#

without steam vr shenanigans

#

that would interest me

stone current
#

but honestly ud be better off with like

pastel thistle
#

I just ordered a third oculus tracker, for better tracking in general, that's why I was asking

stone current
#

vive trackers and vive sensor

ruby needle
#

or Nolo VR

pastel thistle
#

but I'll save up and grab one of those nolo trackers

stone current

or kinect

#

or yea

nolo more like yolo

I just got some stands to lift my sensors up, and a stand to rest my controllers on, now I'm waiting on one to rest my mask on, but I'd like to do full body tracking as well

stone current
#

i don't use kinect tho bc its awful for small rooms

rigid crescent
#

Do oculus sensors use camera mounts like vive?

ruby needle
#

kinect doesnt get better with big rooms @stone current

stone current
#

its ok most of the time but my tracking is buggy and the feet and stuff keep spazzing out

pastel thistle
#

@rigid crescent you need to have an adapter, but essentially, yes

ruby needle
#

yes @rigid crescent

#

need to have an adapter?

velvet quarry
#

Kinect is slightly more useable if you have a larger room, as it seems to essentially have a 1 meter deadzone close up, making it very difficult to use in smaller rooms

stone current
#

it should bc like my room has bad lighting and my playspace is only about 3 ft in each direction

velvet quarry
#

Used it briefly before I got trackers

ruby needle
#

you unscrew the base and can screw it onto a camera mount of any kind

#

no need to a adapter.

stone current
#

idk how to fix all the spazzing

pastel thistle
#

hmmm alrighty then

ruby needle
#

thats just the kinect @stone current cirBaka

stone current
#

so no way 2 reduce it?

velvet quarry
#

I don't think Kinect tracking will ever really be properly stable, you could ask around in #full-body-tracking if anyone has some more experience with the thing, but most people I know just switch to Trackers after a while.

ruby needle
#

kinect is just old and not really up to the job

#

one or 360

#

i really want RealSense implementation

stone current
#

its kinda funny bc like

#

they show demos of kinect

#

where theres like clothing rendered on top of real people

#

and im sitting here with my feet flying across the map

pastel thistle
#

would I be able to use an extra set of oculus touch controllers attached to my feet for full body tracking?

ruby needle
#

no

#

it supports ONE more

stone current
#

idk y u would do that tho

ruby needle
#

to my knowledge

#

so a hip tracker

pastel thistle
#

-_- that's useless lol

ruby needle
#

well

pastel thistle
#

come on oculus, get your game together!!!

ruby needle
#

it ads something

pastel thistle
#

I already like vive's sensors better than oculus'

main leaf
#

is it just me or is the "favoriting friends" not working

pastel thistle
#

but I don't have any ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

stone current
#

then use vive sensors

#

xd

#

some people have mixed setups

#

vive trackers and oculus headset/controllers

pastel thistle
#

I don't know why oculus didn't start out with wireless sensors to begin with

stone current
#

vive is seemingly best at tracking atm but its also one of the worst for support and experience/unboxing apparently

pastel thistle
#

heh I straight up sat on one of my oculus touch controllers, and snapped the thumb control. I was MORTIFIED, but was able to super glue it back together, and it works fine

stone current
#

lmao wat

#

how do u even sit on it were u in vr

ruby needle
#

vive tracker would have been super death

#

the wands are awfull

pastel thistle
#

I sat down in a chair, and they were in the chair....that's how

ruby needle
stone current
#

y were they in a chair

pastel thistle
#

because I was taking them off to adjust my headset, and then put them back on but had forgotten I put them in the chair to begin with

stone current
#

i just put everything on my bed and then grab them one by one lol

pastel thistle
#

which is why now I have a stand for my controllers. no more sitting on them ever

ruby needle
#

well...

#

thats an archivement

stone current
#

*drops controller off stand*

pastel thistle
#

I'm just glad the controller still works

hi everyone

hi everyone, my oculus rift comes on sunday and im looking for people to hang out with come then in vr chat so hit me up in the dms if ur someone to hangs out a lot on there looking for new peeps mumaHugged

I don't wanna. Even though you never asked me

acoustic ravine
#

At the moment Oculus are more focused on "mobile" VR than full body I think ?

#

While HTC seems to like to make products for public demonstration purposes.

ruby needle
#

well no one knows much about future products of oculus they had a full body solution based on cameras and with multiple view positions that can work really well

#

basically sensor 2.0 i guess

acoustic ravine
#

I wonder how they would estimate the distances using cameras. Maybe some sort of triangulation ?

ruby needle
#

erm

#

you know the kinect right

acoustic ravine
#

Yeah, it uses IR I think

ruby needle
#

except that this has multiple viewports

#

PLUS the HMD / controller data

#

as the system would obviously work together

acoustic ravine
#

Anything would work better than the Kinect. ๐Ÿ˜‚

ruby needle
#

well

#

i mean

#

yes

acoustic ravine
#

One thing the Kinect V2 had okay was the mic I think. It could hear pretty much too much stuff, like people in other rooms.

ruby needle
#

who the hell would use the kinects mic when they have a HMD on their head cirSlain

acoustic ravine
#

Nobody. But the mic just seems good. But useless yeah.

stone current
#

yea but its a kinect

#

was supposed to be used more for like games and stuff

umbral reef
#

@ruby needle The wands actually handle sitting and ect nice
They just break fast once they get used as a hammer... What happens a fair bit with them...

They arent badly made, just cant stand hard blunt force...

ruby needle
#

well, and their trackpads arent the most durable even if the new movement sheme some what solved the early issues cirBaka

umbral reef
#

True but most games dont overuse them like VRchat did

vocal shard
#

what are you guys talking about?

rigid crescent
#

vive controllers

queen mango
#

๐Ÿ‘€

#

I saw that

rigid crescent
languid beacon
#

Eh, no use ranting for no reason

#

Oculus Quest's controllers, and knuckle controllers. seem to have both analog sticks and mini-tracpads, so at least some kind of feature parity can get going

stone current
#

knuckles more interesting tho

#

cuz full analog finger detection

#

and pressure and no need hold

#

but yee

plain current
#

Is it me or is vrchat extremely slpow today?

#

*slow

#

Because it seems like it only slows down in vr or outright stops working and this issue just started up when I tried using full body tracking.

acoustic ravine
#

By "slow", do you mean like low framerate (it lags visually) or network lag ?

plain current
#

Network lag

#

And it keeps disconnecting me

#

And puts me in an infinite loop

acoustic ravine
#

If anyone else would report connectivity issue, that could be server hiccups. We'll see.

plain current
#

Thank you

zinc solar
#

I flex my 99 gang boss avatar harder than a youtuber with yeezies

acoustic ravine
#

Lots of reports everyday of the favorite system not working or being laggy. I guess it's just broken most of the time.

stone current
#

when the world starts giving u 8 fps for no reason and its almost impossible 2 use the menu

#

and no its just really really slow

acoustic ravine
#

Maybe some super duper unoptimized avatar spawned in ?

stone current
#

if u favorited something expect it in a few hrs

#

at least 4 now

#

yea its kinda like avatars used 2 be

#

slow and took a while

#

not rlly

#

if thats the case everything would be slow

#

not just favoriting

#

its just not implemented correctly and the vrchat team should be working on it atm

dark wadi
#

all those slots are worth the initial lag to me. we are explorers kinda

stark comet
#

i'm still stuck in the pea soup void thank you very much~

tawny aspen
#

yeah, this is bull.

vocal shard
#

CAN THEY FIX THE LOOPING LOADING SCREEN ALREADY!

#

It's been 2 Months and they still haven't fixed It.

acoustic ravine
#

Part of the problem I think is: That looping seems to occur exactly when the servers are having hiccups.

tawny aspen
#

well than its every time I try to log on.

acoustic ravine
#

You did attempt the regular recommended fix of re-entering your login infos by writing them in notepad and copy-pasting them in the VRChat login screen right ?

tawny aspen
#

yes.

#

k, this is getting on my nerves. I am unable to get anywhere anymore. I came on this game to interact with people.

vocal shard
#

This is getting annoying.

#

I can't connect with people anymore.

#

@glossy wharf I corrupted intel while trying to get oculus to work

glossy wharf
#

What you just said makes no sense

covert linden
#

Its really funny but sad, my friend tyler is helping me with it though. Lucky he knows how to fix it

glossy wharf
#

What do you mean you corrupted intel

covert linden
#

The intel.graphics

pastel thistle
#

You guys know if Rebuff VR works with oculus?

glossy wharf
#

@pastel thistle you mean the straps?

#

@covert linden im not even gonna ask

stone current
#

rebuff are tracker straps

covert linden
#

I tried updating the drivers and clearly I did a bad job at itttttt

stone current
#

for the vive

pastel thistle
#

But not oculus?

stone current
#

dude oculus has no trackers

glossy wharf
#

You can use them for the oculus

stone current
#

yea but theres no thing as oculus trackers atm other than again the hip thing

glossy wharf
#

They are made for the vive trackers, the trackers can be made to work with oculus.

stone current
#

^

pastel thistle
#

Well obviously oculus doesn't have it, I'm asking if the oculus app on Windows would recognize then anyway

stone current
#

no

glossy wharf
#

The oculus home doesnt

stone current
#

u would need vive lighthouses most likely

pastel thistle
#

Would steam recognize it?

stone current
#

cuz theyre different sensors

#

yea but like u need sensors to detect where trackers are

glossy wharf
#

If you have a lighthouse sensor yes

stone current
#

I'm p sure oculus sensors != vive sensor compatibility

pastel thistle
#

Bah humbug

stone current
#

i alreay told u this

#

if u wanted vive trackers u need vive sensors also

pastel thistle
#

I'm just verifying

glossy wharf
#

For the mixed setup you need oculus + sensors, vive trackers and one or preferably two base stations

stone current
#

yea

glossy wharf
#

And also a lot of patience

pastel thistle
#

Gotcha, ok

jaunty bone
#

i hate not having a vr headset because then vrchat is just chat for me and it takes away some of the fun

stone current
#

its not rlly just chat but

#

then save for vr then

#

also having a headset doesnt rlly make it that much better

#

having controllers and a headset does

pastel thistle
#

This hobby is expensive AF

glossy wharf
#

Vrchat is just as fun without vr

stone current
#

almost

#

if u have full body or controller and headset its more immersive and more addictive

glossy wharf
#

Debatable

stone current
#

but then again full body tracking is only used in a handful of games

glossy wharf
#

Fbt made me turn back into a desktop user for a month

stone current
#

so if u do get it then u rlly do have motive for vrchay

covert linden
#

Still feels very immersive without vr to me

stone current
#

yea but its a whole different perspective

glossy wharf
#

I still find fbt to be tedious

stone current
#

ur not looking at a screen anymore

glossy wharf
#

I mean you kinda are

stone current
#

yea its annoying 2 set up but once u get going its nice

#

yea but ur actually in the world

#

and u can interact with ur limbs rather than mouse and keyboard

#

ur experiencing more of it

glossy wharf
#

Yeah but you lose the ability to do lots of other things

stone current
#

like what spam spacebar

glossy wharf
#

Proper soundboarding, tts, multitasking

#

Lots of things

stone current
#

yea ik that but im talking about if u just play vrchat

#

and u use a mic

glossy wharf
#

I want my tts users back dude

#

I miss having tts people around

#

Tts is fucking hilarious

stone current
#

well a lot of them have a mic but dont want 2 use it ig

glossy wharf
#

Obviously

stone current
#

ik its a preference thing but y type in a dif window when u can just press v and say something

umbral oracle
#

They messed up audio input switching. That made it easier

glossy wharf
#

@stone current kinda a stupid question

pastel thistle
#

I just hope oculus is working on being to fruition full body tracking soon. A lot of people want it, but only a few companies have hardware to support it...as shown by this conversation

glossy wharf
#

Can ask it the other way too, why press v and say it if you can just type it out

stone current
#

theyre focusing a lot more on getting wireless headsets and catching up

woven steppe
#

pressing V and saying something sort of defeats the purpose of being a mute or a TTS in VRC tho.

glossy wharf
#

^

stone current
#

and also a headset that doesnt need any other external app like a computer

#

yea but whats the gain of beign a mute

pastel thistle
#

Wireless would be nice, but I spent a LOT on the headset I have now and have no interest in buying another

acoustic ravine
#

Jsut hope your English is understandable. ๐Ÿ˜…

glossy wharf
#

The oculus go and quest are both shit

stone current
#

atm i think the only wireless theyre making is the quest but its also a standalone

glossy wharf
#

They wont be able to sustain most games let alone vrchat

#

Vrchat is way too cpu intensive

woven steppe
#

how bad we talking

umbral oracle
#

I don't understand what the oculus quest is supposed to do better than the oculus go and the other 10 low budget mobile headsets out there

stone current
#

not unless they can shove like an i7 in there

pastel thistle
#

I hear tpcast with they opentpcast firmware makes wireless available

glossy wharf
#

Tpcast is trash

stone current
#

and oculust quest is oculus go + the inside of a phone

glossy wharf
#

The only wirelss vr solution that works atm is the vive wireless Adapter and even that is flawed and overpriced

pastel thistle
#

Even with the public firmware?

umbral oracle
#

So basically it's a cardboard that comes with a crappy android phone

glossy wharf
#

@pastel thistlepeople literally recorded themselves smashing their tpcast when the vive wireless was announced because of how bad it is

stone current
#

no its like builtin

pastel thistle
#

O.o

umbral oracle
#

Superglued together

glossy wharf
#

The tpcast adapter is horrible

stone current
#

its still an oculus headset but all the stuff that is needed to make it run things is inside

glossy wharf
#

Theres a reason it has mostly bad Reviews

stone current
#

kinda like taping a phone to it permenantly

#

but supposed to run faster

glossy wharf
#

@stone current its a cardboard with a hotglued phone

umbral oracle
#

But that sounds the same as a samsung gear+s9 combo or daydream+pixel

pastel thistle
#

More and more I feel like I should switch to vive, but I can't afford that shit and those controllers are garbage

umbral oracle
#

Or does it add positional tracking at least

pastel thistle
#

I'm hoping oculus gets their crap together

stone current
#

vive has a lot of poor reputation

glossy wharf
#

@pastel thistle keep oculus, get two base stations and trackers

stone current
#

^

#

its a lot more cheap just get it from amazon

#

or craigslist or something

pastel thistle
#

Base stations?

stone current
#

lighthouses

#

like ur oculus sensors

glossy wharf
#

The vive basestations

pastel thistle
#

Oh

stone current
#

but for vive

#

andalso charging station

pastel thistle
#

I hear a lot of good things about those

stone current
#

aka that

glossy wharf
#

You dont need a charging Station

stone current
#

the trackers / tracking are good

#

everything else bad

woven steppe
#

you don't have to buy all of them at once

pastel thistle
#

True

stone current
#

a lot of people complain about worse experience and broken items

acoustic ravine
#

One thing I didn't consider about lighthouses: They make noises. So I must unplug them to sleep.

stone current
#

so yea id prob just recommend getting that for cheap

pastel thistle
#

I sure wish the virtuix omni was still for sale

stone current
#

they make noise wat

glossy wharf
#

Obviously they do

stone current
#

also no it sounds like a good idea but its probably not

glossy wharf
#

Theres engines inside.

acoustic ravine
#

They spin at super fast speed.

stone current
#

u have 2 strap into that thing and walk around for hours

#

its cramped and it makes u exaughsted

pastel thistle
#

I have a medium play space at best

stone current
#

i would recommend more like an omnitreadmill with no wires but we arent that far into the future

pastel thistle
#

It's more so that they're just too expensive

stone current
#

yea but ive tried one of those things before

#

straps almost gave me rashes and it was a poor experience

umbral oracle
#

Just get a 1.5x1.5m playspace and walk in circles

stone current
#

yea

acoustic ravine
#

Get a giant hamster ball ๐Ÿค”

stone current
#

some people had basically an entire workout room set up for vr

umbral oracle
#

It works really well. Been playing that way for the last 2-3 weeks, trying to use movement controls as rarely as possible

stone current
#

and they would do like somersaults

#

with full body

pastel thistle
#

I wish I had that space

stone current
#

imo it sounds like a waste

#

like its cool in all but that is so much room

#

so unless u live by urself ur rlly wasting space

acoustic ravine
#

If you live in VR, it's not waste. ๐Ÿ˜†

stone current
#

lol

umbral oracle
#

I use my bedroom, bed on the side, got the tinest cheap desk from ikea with particle board and wheels, that fits in a closet, put my computer monitor and keyboard on it

stone current
#

just get a job in second life then go to VR

woven steppe
#

Whan you have a property so large you have a farm in it... No hurt in building a dedicated VR shed

pastel thistle
#

That's why I'd prefer something like the virtuix omni. Not much space needed

umbral oracle
#

The rest of the bedroom is rectangular and empty

stone current
#

yea but still its very uncomfortable

#

my friend had it bc theyre like loaded and got a dozen different vr crap

#

but they said they might sell it soon bc they cant use it for more than like half an hour

pastel thistle
#

I'll buy it, shit

#

As long as it's affordable

stone current
#

na theyre selling it locally and idk where but probably for 2/3 the price

#

so ud have 2 fly/drive there if u wanted it and bring it back

pastel thistle
#

Where are they located?

stone current
#

they moved recently and ive tried it a few years back

#

but ive lost contact with them bc idk he won't text me anymore

pastel thistle
#

Ah oh well then

acoustic ravine
#

Where I live, you could sell a used VR headset on Ebay for more than the price of a new headset in store. ๐Ÿ˜ถ

stone current
#

yea but who gonna buy it

pastel thistle
#

I bought my vr set used

stone current
#

just put "I'm a loser" sticker on it and maybe

acoustic ravine
#

Rich folks. VR headsets are always out of stock.

stone current
#

are u sure

glossy wharf
#

I havent had an issue with either of my vr sets when i bought em

pastel thistle
#

I bought it from a military guy who just got new orders to a ship and couldn't take it with him

stone current
#

^^^

glossy wharf
#

Also not with the trackers surprisinglx

#

They were always out of stock on eu

stone current
#

someone got their trackers all wet bc the window was open and it started rainig

pastel thistle
#

Smh

woven steppe
#

how does rainwater get in someone's window?

stone current
#

wind

pastel thistle
#

Wind?

acoustic ravine
#

Poor isolation

stone current

that makes sense..

they didnt even have the little sheet thing

Oh shit

I have my vr setup in my living room. I'm married and we're about to have our first baby, so I'm sure vr usage is gonna go down

helllo

#

unless ur baby plays vr

acoustic ravine
#

VR Baby.

pastel thistle
#

That'll be hilarious

stone current
#

i mean ive seen 7 y/o in vrchat so

pastel thistle
#

I'm soI do it

stone current
#

i wouldn't expect anything different

pastel thistle
#

I'm so gonna do it**

stone current
#

reminds me of that video of the roblox gf

woven steppe
#

VRC baby

pastel thistle
#

If the Microsoft hololense were cheaper I'd consider getting that too

stone current
#

this lmao

pastel thistle
#

@stone current to get all the vive ewuipment I need for full body tracking with the oculus headset, how but would I need to drop on that?

stone current
#

wym

pastel thistle
#

Well I need to get the hackers and the sensors, right?

stone current
#

yea

#

u set it up like u bought a vive

pastel thistle
#

Right, so about how much would that cost me?

stone current
#

again it depends

#

u can get the kit off amazon for pretty cheap

acoustic ravine
#

In USD, you need 3 trackers at 99$ each, and 2 lighthouses at 135 $ each

stone current
#

or u can buy it off vive which is guaranteed but really expensive

pastel thistle
#

JFC

stone current
#

but again u can buy things separately

#

just put it all on credit every month or something and try it when u get the full kit

acoustic ravine
#

If you buy the Vive, you won't need to buy the lighthouses. Just the 3 trackers.

pastel thistle
#

Fun. Gonna have to wait for a bit

stone current
#

^

#

but then again now u got a vive

#

so yea its just 2 different ways

#

i would recommend looking for alternatives

#

as long as u don't accidentally scam urself

pastel thistle
#

I might as well get a vive headset if I'm getting all that other stuff

stone current
#

i know people in vrchat who got their trackers off craigslist

#

for a lot cheaper but idk how much

acoustic ravine
#

Got to be careful to not buy version 1.0 of the trackers too

#

Those have interference issues

pastel thistle
#

Heh

stone current
#

and also if u do get a vive headset and wand

#

u should probably sell the oculus bc like idk y u would have both

#

but it still would be cheaper to just not get the headset and controllers

pastel thistle
#

I'll just forget about full body tracking

stone current
#

$500 is headset 2 controllers and 2 stations

pastel thistle
#

It's too much money for not much reward

stone current
#

take out 2 stations and its probably around $300

#

or u can just add all the trackers to the $500

pastel thistle
#

I'll stick with the kinect, it's cheaper. Not ideal, but way cheaper

acoustic ravine
#

Cost an arm. But that feeling of immersion. It's like the "I am human, I have legs too" package.

#

I mean the Vive stuff

stone current
#

the kinect is pretty cheap yea but it shows

#

i have the latest kinect bc i used 2 use it for xbox 1

#

but i cant get ideal tracking

#

so yea just do what u want

pastel thistle
#

Microsoft would be very smart if they made a new kinect with vr full body tracking in mind

stone current
#

it already is in mind

#

thats kinda the point of the kinect

pastel thistle
#

Yeah

stone current
#

since xb360 kinect

pastel thistle
#

I'll just get that and call it a day

stone current
#

but theyre trying to push updates and stuff 2 make it more accurate and trying 2 market it 2 be used in companies

acoustic ravine
#

Kinect can only track what it sees in front of it. This technology is just not adapted for 360 full body tracking.

pastel thistle
#

Anyway, I gotta go to bed, catch you guys later

acoustic ravine
#

Later

pastel thistle
#

@acoustic ravine you can always have more than one ;)

stone current
#

and yea unless ur completely naked or something i don't think trackings gonna be any better

#

cuz wrinkles and sagging and colors etc confuses it a bit

#

from clothing

acoustic ravine
#

You can't use more than one Kinect sensor I think.

stone current
#

yea

acoustic ravine
#

One sensor already sucks so much processing power anyway,

stone current
#

u just use the kinect2vr driver or whatever

#

and it will basically use the data from kinect and create these fake trackers

#

if u use multiple kinects i think it would just pick one of them

acoustic ravine
#

There's also the PS Move wands that are supported I think right ?

stone current
#

im unsure bc i havent seen vrchat on the playstation

#

or anyone using psvr

acoustic ravine
#

Nah I mean Kinect2VR or Driver4VR on PC. One of them can track PS Move wands I think.

stone current
#

o

#

but don't u need sensors for it or something

#

probably driver4vr also bc kinect2vr is the free alternative

queen mango
#

You do need PS camera for it though

stone current
#

^

#

yea thats what i was thinking

#

but it must look kinda stupid

vocal shard
#

There's also the nolo option. Let's not forget that ^^

queen mango
#

Since the PS wands are light-based..

stone current
#

to just strap those long controllers 2 ur leg

acoustic ravine
#

Oh yeah, the nolo. Cheaper than Vive right ?

stone current
#

xd

#

does it look/seem cheaper also

vocal shard
#

Yeah. About $200 for everything

pastel thistle
#

Oh that's almost worth it then

vocal shard
#

It works similarly. A base station that emits ir beam and the trackers sense that

pastel thistle
#

But is it able to be used with the oculus headset?

#

Like in steam or whatnot?

stone current
#

no like

#

it will be noticed as trackers

#

in steam and in the game

vocal shard
#

You do it through steamvr, yeah

stone current
#

but it doesnt have anything to do with oculus

#

as said in the sentence it has its own base stations

#

its separate but other programs and apps can sense it

pastel thistle
#

Ok

vocal shard
#

It works with driver4vr as well

stone current
#

u probably need a driver for it also

#

otherwise its not gonna be detected or adapted probably

acoustic ravine
#

Maybe I should have considered the nolo before throwing my wallet at HTC.

stone current
#

well isnt vive also a steam thing

vocal shard
#

Vive tracker is still better.

stone current
#

basically everyones throwing their wallets at steam/valve nowadays

#

very greedy fuckers lol

The nolo only has one base station, so it is mostly front facing. But it's much more accurate than kinect and has full rotation sensing

acoustic ravine
#

Ah okay.

stone current
#

yea

vocal shard
#

Like an in between

stone current
#

its in between

rotund pike
#

weeee we are on a quest to find tide pod chan avatar

Seems like steam is the best platform for vr

stone current
#

well

#

steam is trying to be the best gaming platform in general

#

discords trying to catch on as well

#

for whatever reason

rotund pike
#

i have oculus rift, work with steamvr too.

pastel thistle
#

Ditto

stone current
#

yea no practically everything is supported

pastel ginkgo
#

discord is pooky dooky for trying to make games

stone current
#

even steering wheels and gas pedals

pastel thistle
#

I just wish games I bought on oculus home worked in steam too

rotund pike
#

everbody games!

stone current
#

i think they also have binds to match up steering to joystick input

#

never tried it before

#

and they should work

woven steppe
#

steering wheels and gas pedals... Now I'm imagining racing games but with no brakes

stone current
#

just add it as a shortcut

pastel thistle
#

Think I'm gonna make the switch from oculus home to steam

stone current
#

tesla regenerative brakes

#

also vrchat was thrown onto oculus home bc of complaints

#

and also minorly bc it was easier 2 access

queen mango
#

What kinda complaints?

pastel thistle
#

Gay complaints

stone current
#

complaints about:
long setup times
steamvr not working
steamvr creating lag

#

etc

queen mango
#

Oh.. those kinds

stone current
#

but the pros are:
get to use special drivers and tools like playspace mover and kinect

dark narwhal
#

I wish my audio worked on oculus version

stone current
#

with full body trackig idk if oculus home version can sense them

pastel thistle
#

Isn't there some software called locomote or something like that where you can simulate walking in game? Instead of using hand controls

acoustic ravine
#

I got to say: The installation of the Vive trackers and stations was relatively painless. They just... didn't include mounting things so I had to DIY the thing.

vocal shard
#

Natural locomotion?

stone current
#

yea its on the steam store

pastel thistle
#

Yeah that

umbral oracle
#

@pastel thistle there is natural locomotion but it's not so fun imho

stone current
#

wasted money ig

pastel thistle
#

I think I used it once and didn't like it

stone current
#

i don't see what advantages it gives u

vocal shard
#

Yeah, I used it. It's neat, but kinda a gimmick

umbral oracle
#

It's maybe better than just directional touchpad movement all the time if you can't do roomscale

pastel thistle
#

I mean it'd be nice if you have a platform like virtuix omni to use

#

Then it'd work fine

umbral oracle
#

If you have roomscale highly recommend looking into using only rotational controls and doing all walking in your room

queen mango
#

Pulling info from some VR treadmill videos and gifs I seen, it woulda required a pretty large space

umbral oracle
#

You have to walk 1 meter for every meter yes but's immersive

queen mango
#

Well, that's on another topic

umbral oracle
#

You can decide some worlds are too big but like walking around a small room it's nice

pastel thistle
#

Skyrimvr for the win

#

Talk about motion sickness

queen mango
#

And I imagine you would bump into walls all the time

#

Because of how open-spaced Tamriel is

pastel thistle
#

Like I said, viruix omni-like platform

umbral oracle
#

Ya mine is 2.5x2.3 meter. I think will work 1.5x1.5 or greater but 2x2 is better

#

Keep chaperone high brightness on all the time in advanced mode. You have to learn to see the slice of the world you are in based on the chaperone and you move to position the caperone in the in game world

vocal shard
#

I remember hearing that the omni has a problem with immersion though, because even though you are walking, you feel that your sliding on a dome, and it just feels wrong

stone current
#

yea no its terribly uncomfortable and exaughsting

umbral oracle
#

Skyrim would fail with this. I would seriously get tired and give up

stone current
#

a lot of people who get it don't want to use it

pastel thistle
#

That day when the holodeck becomes a physical reality

stone current
#

its like sitting in a baby cart as an adult

queen mango
#

If only VR becomes mainstream..

stone current
#

and walking on ice

pastel thistle
#

Vr is doing alright for what it is and the price point

queen mango
#

By the way, I heard about EU being a big customer of VR and AR equipment

stone current
#

consumer?

queen mango
#

Goes both ways..

pastel thistle
#

You just wait, the EU will find a way to legislate vr too and screw it up also

queen mango
#

Yea let's not get to that right now

pastel thistle
#

Lol

stone current
#

someone told me if they get a quest first thing theyre gonna do is walk around their entire neighborhood

#

with their girlfriend guiding them to not get ran over

vocal shard
#

Ok, but why tho

stone current
#

bc he just wanted to

#

i have absolutely no idea

#

i asked him and he said cuz he can excersize and have fun at the same time

#

but i don't think thats an actual answer

queen mango
#

But hw would a machine like the Quest function in high-temperature, high-brightness environment like the outside?

woven steppe
#

Probably doing it for the novelty of walking around everywhere in VR

stone current
#

probably the same as a mobile phone

#

its literally just a phones guts inside a headset

vocal shard
#

then they take it off and sun hits the lenses

stone current
#

rip

queen mango
#

It's not something you can fit in your pocket, mind you.. and it's going to be constantly exposed to the outside elements

stone current
#

yea but like

#

ur phone gets hot playing fortnite

#

but i havent heard anything bad about

woven steppe
#

just dip in water if it gets too hot... DK

stone current
#

using oculus go or whatever

#

outside

queen mango
#

Nada, it will electrocute you

#

Plus, outside?

stone current
#

yea thanks for the hint

#

yea its meant to be used outside ftmp

vocal shard
#

The go is white. Reflects the sun anismart

stone current
#

like u can use it inside but the point is also so u can use it "anywhere"

woven steppe
#

not good enough... should be chrome

stone current
#

as long as u have ur phone with u

queen mango
#

That's one way to reduce heat absorption, but what about system damage due to high-intensity IR and UV rays?

stone current
#

uhhh

#

buy a new one .. ? idk

#

im sure uv rays won't do too much to it

woven steppe
#

bleached plastic

stone current
#

what might cause problems tho

#

Is leaving the quest with its lenses facing the sun

#

might burn some of the stuff inside of it

#

also might cause a fire I'm unsure

zinc solar
acoustic ravine
#

It begins

stone current
queen mango
stone current
#

ok i have a question

zinc solar
#

ok, I have the answer

queen mango
#

Yes? 2bthink

stone current
#

someone told me they were wanking off a while ago while on vrchat and it actually looked like it lol

#

reportable or no

zinc solar
#

Yeah

vocal shard
#

Lol

queen mango
stone current
#

ik

zinc solar
#

Meh, I've seen worse

queen mango
#

That don't seem too safe now, is it? rebStare

stone current
#

some dude was poking him in places and he felt the need 2 do that bc i have absolutely no idea

in a public instance
