Good to have Rift owners join us in the world of room-scale VR. It took Oculus a long time, but they're now delivering a full VR system.

Vive lighthouses are still far better. You don't have to have USB cables strung out all over the room to use the tracking. It was engineered as an all-in-one solution from the start.

You don't need 3 sensors for Rift room-scale. A third sensor barely improves tracking versus just 2 in opposing corners. I prefer the Rift touch controllers over the vive but the Rift has nothing on the Vive's tracking system which is better in every possible way.

Also, to use 3 sensors many computers need a special USB card for the silly bandwidth needed. Some motherboards can cope but many can't. It's a ridiculous setup.
