Solution: HTC Vive / Vive Pro + HTC Wireless. See here: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBuAMX160nY I've got one, and I love it! Mind you, it is like $300, so it is a luxury... but so is most VR. Only bad things I can say, is the receiver gets hot after an hour.

Hell, I setup a VR Greenscreen Mixed Reality setup in my living room on a whim... trust me when I say a mirrored display is easy! Greenscreen wasn't that hard. The audio and lighting is the trickiest part (on a budget.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwbt91O20zc

He states a TV or laptop. In that instance, you would make the TV the primary display for the PC, and then the app would copy the output of the game. For a laptop, the same thing... If they want a 3rd monitor with a mirror.. besides having a beefy graphics card, you would just set that to...

yes. In most cases, the VR application will display the output on the screen. From the question, I am guessing you don't have a VR headset yet? Odd question.

But that stated, pretty much anything on Steam will be crossplay that is running on PC. The only cross-play issues you are really going to have are PSVR to PC, as that may use different networks. However anything that requires you to log into a 3rd party system will likely work. (see Star Trek...

I'd do the following... 1) Check your lighthouse alignment. 2) Check your lighthouse optics. (cleanliness is next to godliness.) Test under standard situation after cleaning. a) Better? 3) Turn off all the lights A) Better? (in my xp this should be worse.) 4) Turn on all the lights and get...

I feel you weren't around when Back to the Future Part2 was released in theaters. That teaches us to temper our expectations of the future and understand the limitations of our imagination and out ignorance on the sciences. Here is my prediction.. in 5-7 years, there is going to be OpenWorld...

I think we need to clarify and expand the question to something more accurate and eliminate any build in assumptions. 1) Define the Issue. >> Curious if you could just buy the headset itself. Not the pro version nor something that isn't a Vive. Rephrase: - Will a HTC Vive(v1) Headset work...

Small correction to the initial post.. >> "Also how comes there are no replacement controllers." You can purchase replacement controllers, but THEY ARE EXPENSIVE!!! ($130 on amazon for 1!)...

Look into the HTC Vive TPCast Wireless setup. That would be the best option, because then the only cable length you are worried about is to get from the PC to the top of the ceiling near your play area for the antenna. https://www.tpcastvr.com/ https://www.vive.com/us/wireless-adapter/

>> -About the tracking, you mean If I have oculus and I buy like 2 trackers of htc, Clarification: If you wanted to track your legs / feet in VR.. you would need to purchase an HTC Vive and 2 HTC Vive Trackers + Straps. At this time, I am unaware of any additional tracking tech from Oculus...

1) Is a good idea? If your PC can handle VR, then go for it. Beyond the $$$, the only consideration is, "Is your PC capable of handling it". Do you research on min PC specs for Rift. 2) I will be something like crawling? Your height will be the height of your head. If you are 5ft tall, then in...

Anything and everything on Steam. The only thing you can't do, are Oculus Only Release titles. (there aren't many.) All the multiplayer games are software specific, not hardware. For instance.. if you play Star Trek VR, you will find a lot of PSVR players. You can tell, because they lose...

I mean.. for this, wouldn't you just disassemble a cellphone? Most VR headsets are using the same tech.
