I don't know what's more brilliant: the fact that you streamed yourself making this, or the fact that it ACTUALLY WORKS.

[@jamesgrimwood1285]

Too bulky, replace the OrangePI with an ESP8266 ;-)

[@electronash]

Awesome, and NOT an April Fools, for a change today. lol

[@electronash]

Frame rate via the browser looks faster too? Nice.

[@CNLohr]

Actual render FPS is about 90... tracking FPS... not so much ... yet.

[@Pheonise]

Can't believe I missed the stream! Fantastic work again; still blows my mind that this is even possible in the first place!

[@HendraKusumahiot]

Attaching that big chunk of lipo battery to your head got me worried

[@CNLohr]

me, too. I was going to make a blast shield for my skull, but I didn't think about it until after the livestream started :(

[@JohnHollowell]

I would put the battery in a belt and run cables to it. That will make your head lighter and the headset less cumbersome.

[@CNLohr]

I'm toying with a mini-backpack

[@ChipWeinberger]

Incredibly impressive

[@OneBiOzZ]

how often do you dip below 120fps in farcry 5? ;P

[@CNLohr]

hey now! All the vive can output is 90FPS.

[@OneBiOzZ]

Let me ask you a question CNL, what do you think of a person who only does the bear minimum?

[@MinecraftVore]

?

[@L1Q]

No joke guys

[@sonotthere]

hmm dumb idea/joke here. if vive knows where you are and you are wearing a headset covering your eyes. then install lasers in all of the lighthouses. get the laser to aim at you. then stream data over the laser. and don't use up a shit ton of the wifi band just found it funny that this kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2nddGZjj7Z5gKs might be more use full
