I know it's a little late, but for next year during the winter I think it'd be really cool to have a "How to Celebrate the Holidays in VRChat" video about Christmas and New Years.

[@CyroXero]

Yeah, avoid the major event unless you have an rtx 4080 gpu or equivalent to avoid lag a crashing. On a serious note, I think going over some holiday themed worlds would be great. There are a few Christmas themed worlds (like the amusement park) that aren't well known but a lot of fun.

[@Bananaa_-]

@@CyroXerohow many people would be in a server? I’ve been consistently running 40-50 player servers on my quest, how bad it could be

[@CyroXero]

@Bananaa_- major events typically have between 60 to 80 people. That in itself is a lot of rendering for your gpu, but add on special avatars 150mb+ in suze and it's a recipe for major lag. Quest can handle 30 people of not everyone has large avatar sizes.

I encourage you to dip a toe into VR with a quest 2 if you happen to have the chance, its still great kit for $200!

Poor ✓ Linux ✓ Facebook boycott ✓ Fairly small room ✓ No idea about drilling ✓ Not the strongest PC ✓ Although I think the last point isn't quite as important anymore. Still... Feels like I'm never going to experience VR.

[@void-master9077]

I don’t recommend any standalone vr if you’re getting into VRchat, it hinders your experience quite a bit, but if you’re willing to just connect it to a pc, then I would just go for standalone with a link, full body and everything else is just meant for more expressive movements, like dancing, so unless you plan to become a vr breakdancer, I wouldn’t go after that stuff either.

[@araravilano]

Crazy how I've been waiting to check how the VR market is going for buying my setup, and then the best video (this one) comes out literally 20 mins before. Crazy good timing! Thanks so much for this!

[@TheVirtualRealityShow]

so glad to know I helped! thanks for watching!

[@allisterhale8229]

I was looking for this video a few weeks ago myself. most of the hardware videos don't seem to recognize that there are folks like me who don't know how they feel about VR but don't want to go budget just to immediately replace it.

[@ericd.9038]

For people who have trouble with the comfort of the Quest 2, I hated it and couldn't play without pain for longer than 30 minutes until I got the Bobo M2 headstrap with the battery. Definitely recommend trying it or any other headstrap with a counterweight on the back/a halo design. Now hours and hours blow by and I barely feel discomfort at all, and definitely do not feel pain. Got me back into VR after a long lull!

[@kebabRS]

Tysm for the headstrap tip! Just got one, can't wait to try it out! The discomfort is 90% of why I don't use my Oculus 2 more.

[@thatstokedgamer]

Bobo is great for Quest2 BUT I just got my Quest 3 version of it for my Quest 3 and I gotta say it does not hold up. It's better than the stock Q3 strap but it doesn't compare to the quest2 version.

[@Zhadnost]

Totally agree on both points, the wife wouldn't even put her Quest 2 on until the strap arrived (having tried mine). The moving of the weight onto the top of your head makes it so much more comfortable with the Bobo, you can even partly flip the headset up whilst using it to talk to people.

[@xter7856]

Bobo headstrap with battery is an insane upgrade. With two or more batteries, you can hotswap and charge meaning basically infinite time on wireless.

[@kebabRS]

My headstrap just arrived, and damnnnnnn it's a whole new world. Tysm for the recommendation! (I also got some action traps for the controllers that haven't arrived yet)

[@thebigm8052]

Any progress so far?

[@ghostlytvt3029]

Bigscreen actually made a video on the diy eye tracking and fully supports it even going as far as to put the items for the diy kit in the video description wich i find pretty cool.

[@CosmicChew]

They want to expand the BigScreen. If you have ever gone on Steam and used their VR game. It is worth a play. Game is same name as the company. So many things to share and watch and play and listen to. It is similar to VR chat. However, it does one thing better than VR chat. It allows you to share media in live time easily with others. Also, BigScreen does produce quality products that I have seen so far. I need to upgrade from my OG Vive. I Would like passthrough. However, I think Bigscreen is where it is at. I understand that there is flare in the edges of bright screens or objects. So, that has me worried a bit. Right now, I am torn between Quest 3 and Bigscreen. My HTC Vive is still in really good condition. However, I am tired of the bulk and the image quality. I am really worried about the leap to a new headset.

[@ghostlytvt3029]

@@CosmicChew Well i mean coming from a quest 2 id say the quest 3 is certaintly worth it for me if you dont mind the weight ofcourse and the beyond is good for if u already have everything needed like base stations n stuff if u dont mind the price. Or you could wait till meta realeses their new headset with varifocal lenses or maybe when or if the new index drops you could go for that who knows

[@CosmicChew]

@@ghostlytvt3029 With the HTC Vive. Comes with base station and what not. I hope the newer headset Q4 plays even better with PCVR SteamVR. I am thinking I may just drop the money on both BigScreen and Q4.

[@steambub]

The was a hardware mod that adds EyetrackVR to Bigscreen Beyond. The official Bigscreen KZbin channel showed it off and showed interest in a possible official kit for it (or at least that was what it seemed to me). Plus as a Linux user, the EyetrackVR is something I want. The HTC VIVE Pro Eye didn't have Linux supported eye tracking nor did the face tracking. So open source solutions are what are required for me to use those features. Here's hoping a FOSS face tracker happens.

[@Dark__Thoughts]

Hopefully the Deckard will help with VR Linux compatibilities.

[@neon_pixels]

As a new VR user who opted for a PICO 4, I'd say the advice for the Quest 2/3 pretty much applies to the PICO. Quality wise you could consider it to be a Quest 2.5, and the official streaming app works flawlessly when connecting to PCVR, both wired or wireless. There's also the PICO trackers, which might be a cheap way to try out simple FBT before taking the plunge into more expensive options. Edit: All my info on the PICO trackers comes from the following video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6u2fGp3lMeAaKc

[@MaterialFuture]

As someone that hops between the Q3 and Pico4 both are great headsets, both standalone and for PCVR. I did find the performance for the Quest being great right out the box using the link cable as well as the Oculus app in comparison the Pico's streaming software. In Virtual Desktop you should be able to get better performance for both headsets by avoiding their software. If the Pico 5 were coming out I would have stayed within Pico long-term.

[@angelaslittlebit]

Ooo. I use a Pico 4, but didn't know they did trackers. I'll have a look at them.

[@arsteel2388]

@@angelaslittlebit pico trackers are not suitable for stuff like VRChat. They're mostly for fitness where you don't need the precision as much.

[@angelaslittlebit]

@@arsteel2388 They also seem to only work with one game for now, and it's in beta. Slimes will probably be more useful.

[@neon_pixels]

@@MaterialFuture I've had no issues at all using the official Pico streaming app for PCVR, both wired and wireless. From what I've researched, at launch the app was so-so, but it has improved drastically, to the point that Virtual Desktop is no longer a necessity. But I haven't compared, to be honest, once I tried the streaming app, I had no need to buy Virtual Desktop so... Maybe it does work better. 😅 I got my Pico 4 headset mid-december 2023, so I didn't encounter many of the issues early adopters had... Including the pleasant surprise of finding VRChat in the Pico store for free.

[@DesyDesotell]

I'm a person who uses VR almost exclusively for sim racing and maybe something like Beat Saber, but is just now looking into doing VR Chat. I just went from the Quest 2 to the Quest 3 and I have to say that it is well-worth the extra money.

@@RyanR3STL3SS I want to upgrade my vive and was thinking a quest 3 might be cool with its fancy lenses. I don't mind buying a tracker for it, is it much of a pain to setup everytime you play? I already have index controllers and 6 trackers for my body so I want to keep it all light house.

[@justrandomjohn]

@@RyanR3STL3SS That other guy is still waiting on a response and Imma chime in too and maybe bring this back to light. But since you have it zip tied on, does that mean that you still have to calibrate every time you turn on/restart the headset, or is it somehow managed automatically? (I'm planning on upgrading to the Quest Pro soon and I already have 3 Tundras with my Quest 2. Just wondering about the answer to my question in order to plan out my long run)

[@jamesmax]

A buddy of mine who just got into VR recommended your channel when I was already subscribed to you lol, he said he saw your diorama in the VR chat New Year's World!

[@irishvikings]

I highly recommend getting the Valve Index, Such a solid quality hewadset. Comes with the best con trollers on VR market and already comes with 2 basestations! I am a previous owner of the Valve Index, Great Microphone, audio quality. Best visuals. Great FOV/Refresh Rate and overall a beauty. I highly recommend upgrading to the Bigscreen VR. As that will be my next purchase.

[@noodle_Cx]

Do you recommend buying it new now even with the rumours of the next headset? I bought a deck and it was delivered THE DAY the oled deck was announced and I feel like with my luck it'll happen again lmao. I did get £40 back though.

[@curtlaird2806]

Ordered the Big Screen after multiple people and you have the eye tracking solution I needed

[@DarkSwordsman]

8:20 just to add it, since you didn't mention it: SlimeVR can also still be very difficult to setup and configure. Even if you follow all the steps, it is heavily reliant on *how* they are mounted to your body and the initial skeleton measurement in order to work properly. It can work for some people, but it's VERY DIY. This problem increases exponentially when you create your own trackers.

[@Prince_Of_Fish]

the index 2 is going to be nuts. i wont be able to afford it but itll be nice to see what innovations Valve comes up with for their next VR kit. their controllers are still some of the best, perhaps they will think of a new feature that will change that.

[@marnoko296]

Hope they also get some kind of inbuilt face-tracking too, one of the only things I'm missing out on.

[@pinkstrawberriies5338]

I'm a current index and vive 3.0 user, but after a few years my index is looking worse for wear haha. I've used this opportunity to purchase a quest pro for the face tracking plus an extra vive tracker to use fbt with it, i'm so looking forward to the change since i also suffer from the small head swallowed by big headset problem xD the quest pro looks a lot nicer on my cheekbones since it puts the weight on the forehead instead. Thanks for the video Fia!

Decided to get a Quest 3 for now with the plan to eventually upgrade to a BigScreen once I have all the other needed setup accessories, and overall pretty satisfied with the Quest 3 even though I haven't gotten to set it up much yet outside of watching some shows in the browser for a cozy big screen experience. Looking forward to checking out the different apps available to the Quest 3 as well as checking out stuff like VR Chat and other VR games on steam!

[@JDCarnin]

I’m in VR since last week. Got myself a Quest 2 so if I don’t like it I don’t have a hole in my pocket. Got it on long term rent, so I only pay a couple Bucks for the usage and probably will upgrade to the Quest 3 or maybe 4 if it’s out then in a year. For now I’m very happy with the 2, got myself an better strap and some correction lenses which should arrive in two days. As a cheaper entry it’s still great imo.

[@mads2486]

love vr, i just hope in a few years itll be cheaper so i can get some fbt lol

[@minion568]

i went from index to quest 3 mostly due to the weight of the headset of the index that and the finger tracking can be a little buggy with the controllers, but if you can somehow get a different controller to work with quest 3 the hand tracking won't be much of a issue. just be careful when charging the headset started seeing some sort of pixeling not sure if it was the heat or the charge being at 100 while still charging. an yes get a fan with it that thing gets ridiculously hot on the forehead. i don't see bigscreen as a option due to the price for just the headset. if there was a headset the same size for less of the price then yeah might be worth getting.

[@paolaanimator]

Saw this video. I got my Slimes and while I am still figuring out how to set up tracking to make sure it works, just the fact that I have accessible full body tracking is amazing. I have a blast using them, just needs some tweaks in calibration. Slimes plus Quest 2 Airlink combo makes this a great way to have completely wireless VR at an affordable budget while using PCVR. I know standalone Quest only is possible but I prefer VRChat in PC/Steam.

[@alaina_plays_games]

Now there were a few things PHIA left out in this video like Full Body Estimation which is a trackerless solution for full body tracking, although it's not very good yet but is good for people who absolutely need tracking but can't afford trackers yet.

[@MalakaiStinson]

Yay!!!! You’ve posted again!

[@Leo_Ponn]

I know this is 4 months later but I have a quest 3 but I’m pretty much unable to buy these so if anyone is in my situation I had watched a a few videos covering some full body tracking apps that you can get on your phone and I started using Viso. Not perfect but it’s decent and I cant really say much since I only really tested it for about an hour on VRC but it does work just don’t be like me and have only 1 rather dim lamp on and be wearing jeans and a black shirt because it struggled quite a bit. I will edit this post when I have done further testing. I have also gotten a new head strap with external battery from Kiwi design and boy I’m glad I did. SO much more comfortable and didn’t feel any after effect like I did with the standard head straps. I’m sure there are far better but a friend recommended me the one I got and got it in 2 days did 1 to 1 1/2 hours of testing and had no issues. I do think at some point I would like to get a better headset and some proper trackers but at the moment I need to focus on saving money for more important matters such as getting a car. And a better job. Then I can go to thinking about other things.

If you have room and can tollerate a cable. Just get a Index and Vive 3.0 trackers.

Takes me at most 5 min to get in vr, 8-10 if im going full body.

[@davidknightx]

My Quest 2 head strap looks insane. I have BoboVR with the center strap going front to back across the middle of the top of my head with strong Velcro attached to it. I got an old basketball cap, cut out the front visor, and attached Velcro to the top attaching it to the Bobo strap. On the back of that strap is something to hold the PC cable to keep it behind me. I use a similar thing on the left side to keep the Bobo power cable out of the way when using the PC cable. Underneath the cap, I folded a washcloth to prop up the Oculus higher up my head so the front face is now eye level. I tried attaching stuff to those two rubber things on the top of the Bobo, but this puts all the weight of the headset on two small areas on the top of my head and the pressure causes me intense pain for some reason. Using the washcloth distributes the weight evenly and the fabric of the cap helps keep the Quest from sliding around my face and dipping forward from the heavy front weight. The problem is there's too much weight on the Oculus. It should contain the lenses, displays, and gyros AND NOTHING ELSE. Everything remaining should be hook on a belt or something like the battery and computer stuff that makes it a standalone headset. Putting it all in the front of your face is bad design. The headset is always fighting to slide down your face requiring you to either vice grip it to your head or do the insane stuff I'm doing. Do better Valve on your second headset. Make it light as possible and make it comfortable!!!

[@meikai0917]

if you connect q3 to pc with a good link cable it is far better than index minus knuckles controllers the fov is very vlose and the lenses are better on q3 and you also have a larger menu of games for just quest and pc such as boneworks and just quest like asquards wrath

i'm enter in VR gaming in 6 dec 2023, with a Valve index and now at 9 Avr i will receive my 3 Vive Tracker 3.0, this is my Actual VR setup :) and i love it !

FYI if u get a quest 2 or 3. ur still gonna end up modding it to make it more comfortable.

[@mokurai8233]

Yeah, I got a battery head strap and facial interface straight away, and a good 6ghz router. I want to get more external batteries and a charger, and maybe prescription lenses in the future. However, the wireless PCVR experience on the quest 3 makes up for the additional costs. The lenses are a game changer, and Steam Link rocks at 350mbit encoding.

omg thank you i am a big full body tracking thank you for the options

[@stagdragon3978]

anyone other than existing PC VR users *Me looking at my CV1* that... that counts...

5:19 wasn't expecting that frame

[@AcidUsagi]

My biggest issue is that. I do want an easy setup that I can also have a full body tracking without fanangeling much with softwares and stuff. I'm a pretty simple person and if I have to hop trough hoops and loops to get thing working I can just easily get frustrated. I so want to get to VR but my friends are giving me all different recommendations with varying degree of hardwares. Not to mention that I do need to wear glasses whilst doing VR And as mentioned valve VR is outdated so now i'm just in an eternal loop of waiting for something like Valve VR 2 to happen just to enjoy vr maybe sometime in 20+ years.

[@ecliptify3680]

you can get prescription clip on lenses for your headsets, i was gonna do it back when i used my quest 2 a lot, seemed worth it.

[@AkiandGogo]

Thank this helped ALOT, I've been wanting to upgrade and this helped

[@Cypher--]

As a PSVR1 player, I can confirm rec room is the only game I play (it's the only actual game for free on PSVR 1)

[@EightBitNoise]

glad to stumble on this channel. Thanks for the great info.

phiabunny dancing with her avatar at 8:03 brings a smile for some reason. Too bad there's no face tracking. The avatar isn't smiling.

[@Snitzel1]

10:54 that looks straight out of a horror movie.

[@warfu_]

5:19 what was that quick 1-frame face? XD

[@Kapfz]

WATCHOUT!! Jumpscare at 5:19

[@jerbid_]

Right now, I'm running a somewhat modest setup; an OG Vive with knuckles controllers and two 1.0 base stations. My friend pre-ordered SlimeVR as a Christmas gift and I'm trying to get my hands on an Index headset though, so hopefully soon it's gonna be way better

[@CrashOrganism]

LMAO @ The cat with the pink crocs on it's head dancing😂🤣

[@Blackout_vr2]

When Phia uploads I know it’s gonna be a good night

[@edenhummel882]

It more than likely released when you were recording, but HTC released the eye and face tracker for the Vive XR elite VR head set.

[@gohachi5313]

Very thorough video! Even being a VR veteran, I still learned a few things.

[@moltenantavione5]

I AM get Quest 3 this year hopefully. Big fan you PHE 2:37

[@Greennoob2]

the music in this video is awesome. I love dnb and modern breakcore

[@KermenTheFrog]

Something to note there is DIY face tracking the project in called babble. Basicaly the same hardware as eyetrackVR but its still somewhat experimental, doesn't even have a website yet.

[@chizukichan]

Quest 3+Pro Conttollers+SlimeVR is my favorite combination. IPD and immersion is important to me. That and a good head strap with a forehead and a silicone facial interface cover.

[@Woozy_Official]

thank you for the vid! i just bought a quest 3 and im so hyped!

[@reverendkafka4178]

How has been your experience?

[@THE-Stonerz-Korner]

How about suit tracking and the sense you can feel the cold and heat. And you can feel touch get a back rub. Then the kat walk mill

[@DeathRisiing]

I bought a Quest 2 last month for my birthday bc I noticed it had finally dropped in price. I was so happy. Imagine the sinking feeling in my gut when I found out a week later that the only reason it went on sale was bc the Quest 3 just came out... I had no idea, I stopped following VR news years ago bc I figured I'd never be able to get a headset bc they're so expensive (VR is SO expensive 💀), and I'm a disabled broke boy. I'm happy with my Quest 2, but there's a lingering icky feeling now knowing the Quest 3 was _right there._ I've even spent ~$100 extra dollars on it for a better headstrap (and some other nifty things) with Christmas Money due to the OG headstrap giving me severe neck strain for 2wks, and I could've just used that money to put towards the Quest 3 instead. Oh well lol. Maybe I'll upgrade in a few years. This is a fantastic guide btw, your videos are the only reason I know about various trackers and how to make your own avatars for VRChat. Please pardon my lil rant. Happy VR-ing! ♥
