[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 123 points 2 months ago (21 children) I'd happily pay more to not use a Meta product. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 21 child comments replies: [–] fartsparkles@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago (10 children) I’ve been desperate to get into VR (both as a player and a developer) but being tethered wasn’t for me - it was the biggest gripe I had visiting VR experiences etc. And I dislike Meta on a philosophical and moral level. So yeah, $1500 for “not Meta” is fine by me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (6 children) Yeah, I use a Quest 3 for 14 hours every day. I will definitely be getting Steam Frame even if this is the price. Or at least I will sign up to get one, up to the lottery if I do, lol. Speaking of... I should stop trying to convince people how awesome it is... no... yeah... Definitely too expensive, you wouldn't even like it..... please don't sign up for the lottery. Ah who am I kidding... it is very much worth that price for anyone that knows they are gonna put it to good use. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 7 points 2 months ago (5 children) How do you use vr for fourteen hours everyday? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children) It's my computer monitor, my TV, and where I also happen to occasionally play VR games. When not in full VR games, my computer or TV are just floating windows wherever I want them to be. And I'm in full color and 3D passthrough. So basically using them like as if they were already glasses... just super big heavy ones, lol. Oh, and the practicality of how I physically keep it running 14 hours a day, bobovr infinite hotswap battery system. And why it isn't 16 hours, I often take it off to eat still. Not all the time though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] MirrorGiraffe@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago (3 children) How does your neck muscles look? I can imagine you get some workout and some tear. Using as computer monitor, is that nice? Like coding or writing documents etc? Do they act like a monitor or do you use several workspaces so it feels like multiple monitors? I wasn't aware this was an option. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children) The headset is like a pound or something, people wear much heavier hats. My neck is just as weak as it always was, lol. My nieces have been doing VR since they were 4 and 5. They never had issues. Would just be heavier than a pair of glasses would be. The monitor is not quite full 4k, but it is more clear than 1440p, so still worth setting to 4k anyway. I mainly just play computer games on it, but you can do anything you want, your computer screen is just a floating window you can put wherever you want. I do have 2 monitors in VR, only one in real life. I mostly use the second one for like a browser window, if I need resources for a game, or I want to put a streamer or Vtuber on in the background. If you press 'Y' on the controller, the monitors swap places, so I do that rather than looking over at it or positioning them in a way that I can see them both. Rather have the one I'm focused on be a 2000 inch TV at 20 feet away. Big enough that it's still like 80 degrees field of view. Just the right size so I can see it all while holding my head still, don't have to turn my head to see corners. My real life computer monitor is a TV, it's 4k, but old enough that it only does 60hz. The first virtual screen is a representation of that one, so also stuck at 60hz. But the second virtual screen is 4k 120hz. So for any easier to run games, I play them on that one. Unless my sister wants to watch, she of course can only see the 60hz screen. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 child) TBH you would probably be better off with a pair of XR glasses. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago They are generally not as good for playing VR. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 1 point 2 months ago (2 children) Get a used PSVR2.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago I won't use a Meta product under any circumstance, but I'm not going to pay an unlimited amount of money, either. If the alternative can't get reasonably close to Meta's reasonable prices, that just means I will continue to never get VR at all. permalink fedilink source parent
