I used to do sim racing quite seriously. In iRacing I won the UK & I Club championship 3 times in the Skip Barber series and had a world record lap time on I can’t remember which track. I used the Oculus Rift VR headset to achieve this. For me, seeing in 3D was the game changer. We evolved with 2 eyes in order to achieve stereoscopic vision, which is vital for measuring distances for hunting. Next time you’re in a car, close one eye while coming up to a braking zone and see how comfortable you feel about how far you have left before you can start braking. That’s what triple monitors feels like to me now - like having one eye.

IMO the bigger difference is actually the point of focus being located out at infinity. I did experiments years ago hanging a fresnel lens in front of a CRT screen and playing flight simulators on it. I can't even begin to describe the change in immersion I experienced as a result. Yes, the lens made the screen appear bigger, but by far the more significant effect was that the objects on the screen were out at infinity. I am short-sighted, and I needed to wear glasses to stare at a screen that was probably about 20 cm away from my face. And I say this as someone who has one very lazy eye with poor vision. It's not just the stereoscopic effect. It's the fact that you're looking out at infinity, just as you do in the real world.

The best thing about driving in VR is how much better it is at showing track undulations, the steepest drop on a screen seems like a small dip but when you drive in VR and you go up and down massive hills and drops, your brain and body fully expect to feel g forces. I'd say an actuated chair with VR would make the driving unbelievably immersive. Tracks like the Nurburgring are a great example, ppl constantly say they drive and learn the track in games before actually driving it but when they get there they always say they didn't realise how much the track actually raises and lowers. Plus I've noticed newer games really have flattened tracks out, for example look at the Nurburgring in Gran Turismo 4 and the cork screw at Laguna Seca in gran turismo 2 or 3 and you'll see how much more the tracks vary vertically, VR is like another step beyond.

Most of the glare you've got is because the light from the screens bounces off your light skin. It's an overkill but if you ever wanted to get rid of it (mostly), well, you can wear black makeup. It was tested to affect dark skinned people less. You can't get rid of it entirely, because some of the light is reflected by... The whites of your eyes. Which also was tested - with people who have their eyeballs tattooed. I do not recommend tattooing your eyeballs, though, because it bears a risk of partially or entirely loosing your eyesight which could make VR rather difficult to enjoy.

The Quest 3 is more a rounded device that does so much more for a lot less. The screens & size are about its only real draw backs but - no need for base stations - fully portable - fully wireless - comes with controllers - has hand tracking - has AR - has its own software - is a portable movie theatre - has a better FOV - is WAY cheaper - easy to swap to different users (impossible with the Bigscreen unless you scan every user's face & pay for the different 3D prints) - you can wear glasses - has custom corrective lenses for not that much extra The Bigscreen is a one trick pony: good screens & small size but only for games where you basically sit down which are really not all that many games besides racing games and games like Elite Dangerous. For those who are into flight sims & race sims I can see it being appealing but for everyone else, the Quest 3 is the best option.

Doing this repeatedly should allow your body to get used to VR, and you'll eventually stop getting nauseous in VR.

Its always worth pointing out I think when it comes to the FOV that if you buy a BOBO headstreap for the Quest 3, you can take out the gasket, the bit that touches your face. Take it off completely and the bobo strap doesn't need to clamp to your face, it hovers in front of it and is held in place above your head. Not only is this awesome for super long play sessions as you don't feel that pressure on your face and it can breathe. You can also wind the screen right up so close to your eyes that your eye lashes brush the screen. Just get it before that point and the field of view is a very noticeable leap. Its so big that in a cinema view I had where I could only just see the edges of the screen in my FOV without turning my head. After putting on the BOBO strap I could see the walls of the cinema either side of the screen without turning my head. It allowed me to go into even bigger cinema screens and really feel they were bigger. I just think its an essential purchase, the BOBO isn't anything like as expensive as the official strap addons. Now might as well mention the downsides. Because its not clamped to your head anymore, it can more easily move around. So beatsaber not a great idea without the gasket. But as you can just snap it back in for more high energy gaming, I don't really see the downside. I've read some people complain about light leak, so if you're in a very bright room the gasket isn't blacking out that bit. And that's true but I've never found the light outside affects the screen and I prefer having that sense of what's around me as I can reach for drinks more easily, things like that. But some people don't like so thought I'd mention it. I wish I could shout out the person that told me about this bobo trick, I just tried it on a whim one day from someone that mentioned it in a live chat. I didn't even note their name. Not really believing it would work. Hope this helps someone, not sponsored by bobo. I imagine other straps with similar mechanism would allow the same no gasket trick too.

This is the way. I use BoboVR M3 without face gasket as well and it's great. But I had to mod it by cutting the side mounts to get the lenses closer to my eyes. (most people don't need this since it depends on the face shape). @rangerkayla8824 's suggestions are also interesting, I can see BoboVR could even be better.

[@ClayMann]

@@oskansavli good to see another gasket free VR gamer. We need to rise up, spread the word. When I see ads now with a quest just clamped to their head it looks so wrong. They must know its superior in design to hold the headset from above and behind rather than in front but not even the mighty Apple thought that through for the Vision. I've seen some very cool hacks with people 3D printing parts to mount the headset to a cap so it floats without the gasket but if its never the default, most people will never know how much better VR can be.

that's not true, at least not for mine (it's like first gen before they even got popular), most of the weight is still on the face

[@ClayMann]

@@knyt0 well I have a battery pack on the back on my head so that helps take the weight off the front but the front is still the heavy part. Its just its held at the top front, top and back of your head leaving your face completely free. So there is zero weight on the face but still weight on your head in general. I think if you've got actual weight on your face, nose, cheeks and eyes then you might not be wearing it right. I'd youtube some examples of people doing this to see how they are wearing it and what versions everything is. might help. Don't give up, face freedom awaits the brave adventurer!

You can increase the bitrate with the Oculus diagnostic tool to get less compression over the usb cable, but for fast moving games like racing a real display port is always better

[@Cooe.]

The big issue he's having isn't bitrate (which was unchanged between all his tests, regardless of settings), it's resolution encoding limits due to GPU video encoder limitations. At 120Hz the max resolution you can do without supersampling (aka "1x res") is only like ≈1700p IIRC (at least on my RTX 3080), which is simply NEVER going to look fantastic on a ≈2160p headset no matter how many bits you give it per pixel! Now Lovelace/RTX 4000 did add a 2nd video encoder to the highest end models like his RTX 4090, but I HIGHLY doubt that Meta's Quest Link PC app supports using both encoders on the same encode/VR stream, and thus the encoding limits are probably exactly the same as on Ampere/RTX 3000. 🤷

[@cajampa]

@@Cooe. I think you are wrong. I don't have the hardware myself. But as far as I understand. With a 4090 you can run the AV1 encoder and if you use virtual desktop with godlike resolution setting. You should get way better quality than what a 3080 can do. So how sure are you that you really know what you are talking about here?

[@Cooe.]

@@cajampa Except that you are flat out WRONG! 🤷 AV1 can't go any higher than HEVC/H.265 in terms of bitrate in Virtual Desktop when run on Lovelace! (Or for the latter, Ampere for that matter.) Aka, they are both capped at 200Mbps (w/ only H.264+ being able to go above that mark, up to around ≈400Mbps, network quality depending), which is the EXACT SAME cap that Link/AirLink has! (Which run HEVC by default.) AV1's advantage is that there's slightly higher visual quality per bit, but it's not a big if even actually noticable improvement over HEVC/H.265. AV1's ACTUAL advantage over HEVC is being a totally open standard with no licensing costs, not as a major step forward for video compression technology straight up. 🤷

[@cajampa]

@@Cooe. So just to be sure, you have tested it? Because i though you said you had an 3080 and that can't run an AV1 encode. And you are saying that when you used the AV1 encoder on an 4000 series card you noticed pretty much so little improvement, when used in this application compared to H.265 that it does not matter? Because that is not how others have been describing it.

[@Cooe.]

@@cajampa I have not personally tested it but there's COUNTLESS reports on Reddit describing AV1 support w/ Virtual Desktop as much of a muchness vs HEVC. Most people can't tell the difference, and both codecs are FOR SURE locked to the same 200Mbps cap that HEVC always has been according to literally every single report. 🤷 Aka, Virtual Desktop can't use both HW video encoders simultaneously (not many things can, tbh). Again, AV1's reason to exist isn't really a technological leap forward in quality for video compression vs HEVC (it's a step forward, but a small one), but rather a massive drop in cost for major companies as it doesn't have licensing costs.

[@knyt0]

8:20 If i remember correctly, link still caps at 150 mbps default, and you need to go into some configs to even change it. Even airlink, the wireless version, has an adjustable speed up to 200 mbps. You can probably easily bump up wired link to 800 mbps, but there's diminishing results after 300 mbps

IIRC the glare on the lenses is due to light reflecting on inner-side of the barrel lenses.

If you disassemble older photo lenses they prob have a combination of these.

It's interesting as a VR enthusiast to see you dip into VR. If they had made the headset use inside out tracking with cameras on it, it would've defeated the point of the headset in many ways, not to mention that outside in tracking with Base Stations is still the best way to track 6 degrees of freedom in VR, and it has been this way for about 8 years already. The same goes for passthrough. It's really nice to have and if it can be compact enough to not compromise size, it should be standard, but seeing as this is very much intended to be a stationary, tethered headset it really doesn't matter as much wether is has passthrough or not as much as it would on a standalone headset like the Quest 3. As someone that used a very heavy and bulky headset for years, I can very much attest to how much it matters that the headset is low profile and most importantly LIGHT. It can make or break the experience between always feeling that weight on your face VS. really being in the moment, but at the same time I will not buy a new headset until it can do at least 144 Hz @ native res, if not more, because the 144 Hz on the Valve Index are just a different league of smoothness that, imo, you just need when you try to effective emulate reality in a sense.

I was interested in the Beyond, right up until they mentioned that it would need an iphone to scan your face, something that no one in the family has, and then basically said it was for a single user. If my VR headset can't be used by the whole family and my friends, I can't justify spending $100 on it, let alone $1000.

I placed an order for Big Screen 3 months ago... won't come until late July. Some had waited over 12 months. But hey, big KZbinr says he wants to try VR and gets pushed to the front of the line... nice.

we've arrived. the size and weight of VR was by far the largest barrier for me. if this is possible, it is the advancement we've been waiting for. im excited for passthrough at this size. i cant imagine thats very far off. i dont even mind having to plug it in if it takes away the need for a heavier battery. geniunely ready to make a purchase with this kind of design plus passthrough.

Whenever i see someone with a giant multi monitor sim rig, I always wonder... Have they tried VR yet??

[@gvjackson81]

I've tried it and went back to pancake because pass-through isn't a well-developed thing at a reasonable price point. And with $10k worth of controls (I fly DCS), and I want to see and interact with my setup. So until then I'm not going back to VR.

@@gvjackson81 The Varjo XR can do passthru masking, although very expensive sure. I suppose there's not many budget friendly options for that sort of thing. Most people in the hobby are big ballin out tho lol

[@gvjackson81]

@Riley_Christian at $4K US that's a bit ridiculous. I don't mind spending the money but there so much potential in the market I prefer to wait for it to become more common and for the price to drop.

[@Riley_Christian]

@@gvjackson81 I just realised the Quest 3 has passthrough masking for hand tracking. There are a few 3rd party overlays for it you can look into. This would make VR actually a cheaper option than most 3 monitor setups. Id post a link, but youtube always deletes my comments when I do that

VR gives me headaches and motion sickness. I’ll stick with my triples.

Ok, which oil moghul do you descend from?

[@sYd6point7]

Flight games is where it is at. There is a community testing SstarCitizen in vR right now, I am too, it is incredible. There are also intensely realistic[DCSworld], and intensely Immersive VR too[VTOLVR] HIGHLY recommend VTOL VR. When you want to be fully immersed, no HOTAS just flip those switches turn dials and use your hands like real life. it doesn't get much better then that when you get it down pat and feel great in it....just wild. if you want to learn the manuals, and rock that expensive HOTAS/HOSAS setup, DCSworld.

[@mrmangoiii]

Been waitin for this one 🔥🔥🔥

[@Noxuming]

Something tells me this guy has money.

[@astar10146]
