VR Headset

General

I am thinking about dabbling with VR again as I see so many cool scripts I cant try at the min. I dont want to spend a fortune so was going to try a Quest 2.

Or should I stop being tight and got with a quest 3?

Or is there a headset you can just hook up to pc and do it that way?

Thoughts?

I bought a Quest 2 to see what modern VR is like, knowing I could just return it to amazon within a month if I wanted to go all in and get the Quest 3 (sorry Amazon!). Needless to say, after I saw how good the Quest 2 was and the fact that was 6-7 year old tech, I returned to pretty quick and got the Quest 3. 100% worth it. Even for 2D stuff (which is 90% of what I use it for). Having a PMV blown up on a massive screen with ANC headphones, no going back after that. I got mine for about 300 euro from eBay. Lots of people selling them so you can pick them up for good prices.

Do you think the 3s will be good?

I would recommend the Quest 3 for it’s pancake lenses and nothing else if you have the extra money to spare. If you get the Quest 3S you get the old tech lenses which you have to wiggle around a bit to have a clear picture (sweet spots) unlike the pancake lenses device that you can just put on and have a clear display every single time. Power wise both (3 and the 3S) both are the same.

Honest suggestion: Stop being tight with the money. It’s more than worth it for the pencake lenses.

It’s got the same lenses as the 2. Personally, I didn’t think they were that bad. I think if you’re only watching 2D stuff, they are fine. But when you watching real VR stuff, they suck because you cannot look around naturally. The sweetspot of the old lenses is tiny.

Why not a Pico 4 then

is 128 gb enough?

VR vids are like 10-30 GB each so both 128 and 512 can’t store that much. It’s best to stream directly (Deo for SLR, Heresphere for Badoink/Wankz/NAVR/Czech) or store on a PC and stream from there.

For both you’ll need pretty good wifi, I’m not sure how high mbps minimum, I know 600 does it. 5G is recommended but not necessary if you’re close to the wifi point.

If you have that go for 128GB.
