Your last bit there is kinda the kicker, isn't it? And from what I've seen I think that may already be true.

I have shamefully barely used my touch controllers - the mitigating factor is that I (we) have far too much stuff and it needs to be stored in that room. I don't really have enough space for roomscale.

On the other hand I've put about 400 hours into the headset itself - I estimate about 390 of those hours are with iRacing though - which is fine as that was the primary use case for me.

Yeah, but if there's one thing I've discovered since getting Touch controllers, it's that VR isn't really all that it's cracked up to be when you're not able to engage in the world that much - and the motion controls and tracking on the PSVR systems I've tried (a friend's, and the one at the Arcade Club) was a serious step back from what I'm used to.

My play space is "moderate", and is basically about 1.8m2 (I can't type the superscript 2 character as the Alt+ code triggers a keyboard shortcut in Chrome :P)

Mine is moderate too, when it's clear. Which is not often.

I actually have the space for room scale, right now, I think. Close to it anyway. It'd be uncertain after we move though.

Is it the house over the road from me that Curio isn't moving to? We could have capers!

Buckingham is 1 hour 40 to his work, Shipley is 2 hours 30. Capers!

My house deposit + stamp duty is easily into buy-a-Porsche-outright money (sob). But you can't live in a Porsche.

Train line in isn't bad. Some places are better than living in much of actual London due to quick train lines.

A friend works for a car dealership. They had a 60k porsche in. They sold it. Before they could move it to the owner, she used her own money to pay the finance off that her employer had used to buy it to sell it because the business had no cash. Her own cash. Madness.

Wasn't there a bloke who lived in a Lamborghini because he reasoned that "you can live in a car but you can't drive a house" ?

She used her own money to settle the finance on the car so that the dealership could legally sell it. She presumably then got her money back from the dealership.

I'm surprised it thinks my 2008-era CPU is OK, though. I should probably benchmark it against a modern i7. It's sufficiently obscure that it's not very easy to find comparable numbers for.

Superhot and Robo Recall are easily some of the most fun I've had in games, ever. I'm shit at Robo Recall, though.

Ok, so /i got a new (early access, bah) game for my vive, also available with oculus touch. Sairento VR (translation: Silent VR)

A game about being a not particularly silent ninja. Dashing and jumping around with slow motion abilities and swords and guns and stuff. Quite overwhelming at first, mind. But probably the best vr game I've played yet.

I'd link to a video, but finding one that isn't inhabited by an annoying youtuber, an old build or both is too much to ask for.

I'll do this in a more relevant thread in case Hearthly sees me and flies into a rage.

What's this Mixed Reality thing, then? I'm going to watch a few youtube vids. Be right back!

This Mixed Reality platform seems like it could be a slightly more affordable option.

Room scale tracking with no external sensors too.

So after a lot of reading around and YouTube, I reckon I'm going to get a Windows Mixed Reality headset. Probably the Samsung model with the built in headphones.

Having free movement room-scale VR without external sensors is a big plus for me as it's likely that it's going to get moved around a fair bit from the man-cave to the kids playroom and back.

It hooks into Steam VR and the controllers are button compatible with the Vive.

And it's £400. I'll probably get on in January if funds allow.

Nice! I'm very much looking forward to seeing what the increase in resolution does for the screen door effect. Also if there's a better FOV.

Does that have it's own ecosystem or is it hooked into Oculus?
