Best products from r/H3VR

No worries on the questions. There wasn't any lag I consciously noticed. I won't say zero input lag but no noticeable lag. I'll probably do some more testing tomorrow.

If you've tried pavlov native to the quest you likely noticed how blurry and hard to use gun sights were. Good news is link runs at a higher resolution and I had no problem using sights. I don't think it's native res much yet but still higher than what native quest games normally use.

I'm running a 4790k and had no issues with CPU usage, it was perfectly stable.

My biggest complaint with link is the oculus head sets have less buttons so you can't use twin stick H3VR controls I'm used to on the index. I'm not sure this is really an issue so much as a perk of the index controllers. The vive and all other head sets have the same limitation after all. That said you can still use arm swinging mode that a good number of users are fond of, or single stick mode so still a ton of movement options.

Some users of link talk about compression artifacts but to be honest I haven't been able to pick any out, image quality is great. I used this cable. I then use a small shorter cable for the last foot. This one is ziped tied onto the head set and the larger cable is removable. I can take a pic if you'd like.

As with all first time users of VR I recommend getting it from a place with easy returns like amazon. If your in the DC-Maryland area I'd offer you a demo.

If you've got any other questions ask away, it is a big purchase after all.

From the sounds of your hardware, I assume this is the laptop you have: https://www.amazon.com/HP-15-inch-i5-7200U-Windows-15-bs030nr/dp/B071HM2W81
(or something roughly equivalent)


This type of machine isn't even close to being powerful enough to run PC VR. For a laptop-class machine, you would need something with an Nvidia 1070gtx or better.

FYI, the minimum system requirements for all Steam games are posted directly on the Steam Store page for those games.

Have you considered getting a trackball mouse? They have a little ball on it that functions as the mouse so you don't have to move your wrists, surprisingly easy to use. I've used them in first person shooters before, even with little-to-no previous experience with them, and I'm trash at FPS games so they are really easy to adapt to. I keep one on standby so if my wrist is getting sore from using the mouse I can just switch it out.

Hey Anton, could you do one of those bouncy ground targets at some point? Like this: https://www.amazon.com/Do-All-Outdoors-Impact-Target-5-Inch/dp/B004MXGPBY

I don't think they have to actually model penetration, just bouncing around would be fun.

I'll give you a tip:

Extendable shower rods (or some other extendable pole of some kind), and something like these.

Wedge the shower poles between floor and ceiling, screw the base stations into the clamps, then fasten them onto the poles and adjust as required.

I've been using this method for over a month now and it works a treat.

 

I don't know how I found this post from a week ago either.

CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Xtreme VR GXiVR8060A5 Gaming PC (Intel i5-8400 2.8GHz, 8GB DDR4, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, 120GB SSD, 1TB HDD, WiFi & Win 10) Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0757DVF4Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_mshaCbMMPM140

this prebuilt might suit your needs.

Try getting a board like this - it might help, assuming you don't have a laptop, and it's not expensive

Here is a cheap eyepactch if you're still interested. You can also pick them up at medical stores.

For the issue of bumping controllers together get some Silicone skins for them like these. Then you can bump into each other/things without damage!

Here's where you can buy it

I've got two sticks of 8gb DDR3 RAM that are 1600MHz

Link to the RAM here

I think they must have discounted it in error because it's now $35, but here's the drive I used.

This should be hilariously ineffective. It would pop a Sosig in the face, making it rock back and forth like one of these things and ultimately doing no damage whatsoever
