The G2 was great and didn't have any of those extra features and a worse controller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I’m just concerned with how well it’ll work with SteamVR out of the box. I assume Sony will put out official drivers so the tracking and creating + reading room boundaries won’t be an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 I think I need to take a break from VR. I've been spending way too much time with the headset on and it's screwing up my vision. I'm done for the rest of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Vision using a test pilot ALVR (a little wonky itself) connects to SteamVR with zero issues and freaking scans and wireframes the entire room in one second without moving. I think you will be okay with an official product many more people will be using steamvr on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spork3245 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 @Best Watch A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas, it was filmed in 3D and not just converted like the Avenger movies. It's probably the best 3D movie I've watched, and I'm including the 1st Avatar movie (I haven't watched the 2nd movie because it's like 50 hours long, but I don't have a 3D TV anymore anyway ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Boy, I've been searching how to stream 3D content and it doesn't seem to work. You have to rip the movie to your PC then go from there. Extremely disappointing. 1 hour ago, Biggie said: Does the headset make you hot @Best? Does your forehead sweat? Well if you're just watching a movie no. But when playing games you are physically moving your arms and then you get hot. I sweat just a little but nothing major at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 @Biggie I got further into Asgard's Wrath 2 and I got a mount. It's a big Panter and it is so cool to travel around the world with it. Just phenomenal stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Watching 3D movies in Meta is a pretty cool novelty especially in the tv app in mixed reality so you can get a true sense of the scale it’s bringing you. That said I wouldn’t actually watch a full movie in it without oled/hdr and the general quality of what you can get there. I love 3D but the rest is too diminished. It would at least be a lot better if they had a dedicated movie store with high quality videos like AVP. Apple is never going to put their movie store on it I can’t imagine so Meta really needs to partner with someone who can provide that content for them. I could see it kinda taking off once this stuff all gets cheaper/more comfy/eventually just being sunglasses etc. I think they used to have one but got rid of it? Seems shortsighted. It would make sense to me in the future actually to have a “movie pro” or whatever model that could even have a cheaper processor for games or something but would have an oled display and hdr instead to be a proper movie watching device.

Best Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Asgard's Wrath 2 is incredible. I played 4 hours straight today because it just stays so immersive and interesting. What an accomplishment for VR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 The thing that sucks about my current 3D movie experience is that I rely on streaming which is choppy at times. I wish the bigscreen app let you rent 3D movies on it like they used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Besides AVP (or big screen beyond, but you need a pc for that) which isn’t a serious option for most, the second best way for 3D movies at home is really just a pair of rokid or xreal glasses. The display isn’t as large as on meta, more like 100-150” but the quality is much better and it’s oled so colors are correct. It also makes up for not being as large with the fact that it’s just a pair of sunglasses so easier to move and do whatever while watching and a million times lighter. With those, you can just hook up to your phone which has the Fandango at Home app (formally Vudu) which lets you purchase 3d movies you can download. Apparently they had an app on meta at one point too and that’s gone as well. Not sure what’s going on with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickey Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 @Best @stepee Meta does the same thing apple does, any transactions within the meta ecosystem meta must get a part of it. So do the movies studios, which leaves these apps very little to make worth while. Big screen has asked publicly for Meta to change this, but yeah, money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should make an exception for movies or they will be left empty handed. Apple has an established storefront so I guess that is why it works there and studios put movies out. I wonder how it works with Fandango at Home though where it’s on Apple (not just AVP but on iphone/ipad etc) but not Meta, and what Meta needs to change to get it.
