Why you beeping Bavarians get all the beeping rain in this beeping summer? That’s beeeeping beep!
You get a lot more storms on the coast than we do. But yeah we had heavy rainfalls the last few days.
Can I ask you guys about a good VR headset for smartphones? A dear friend made me watch some virtual reconstructions he made, but as usual I hated the experience with the VR headset since my eyes and lately my head hurts in a few minutes. I have 20/20 sight.
No. We hadn’t any wind since three or four weeks. You should have much more wind and storms because of the Alps.
I haven’t any experiences with VR headsets yet. But have you tried the Cardboard method for Smartphones? You can chose the lenses depending on your ametropia.
The first wind we had in weeks was past wednesday. The alps are still quite a bit away. We have like the weirdest micro climate.
Thanks, that’s a good tip. Understanding (simple) optical principles behind the technology could allow to choose more carefully. What I didn’t like the most was that my eyes were too close to the image shown. If I could find a way to have a non-bothersome experience I could even like it…
Yes, that’s what I don’t like too. But with cardboard you could try to construct a more suitable version. And I assume that you wear it only for a few minutes - or do you have to wear it several hours?
I have a cardboard VR thing; I got it for free. I used it to watch the Ducktales 360° video and to play some Tomb Raider VR with one of the apps that allow you to use your phone for Steam VR.
Maybe/hopefully it’s different with one of those dedicated €500+ devices, but it mostly felt very gimmicky to me. Sure, it’s kind of cool to be able to look around 360° and you do perhaps feel a little bit more immersed… but eh, I’d much rather get an 8k monitor or something.
The differences can be huge even on the same system. The enviorment just can feel a lot more different also depends a great deal if motion controllers are used in a creative way or not. Once you really feel like you interact with the game yourself it changes the gameplay feel completly.
Hmm, so I should combine a Wii emulator + Wiimotes with some kind of Steam VR on my cellphone hack?
But yeah, of course I only have my Xbox One controller. I thought that’s all that came with that Occulus Rift thing regardless though?
Edit: btw, I definitely loved some of that Wii stuff. But I think any kind of headset would make that much, much worse, even without cables. Only if it were like swimming glasses maybe it might work…
I think any good system should have some sort of motion controllers now? I have PS4 VR and it works great.
I hope they manage to make them wireless one day, that would be perfect.
Apparently that was just a launch-time thing back in 2016 since they hadn’t finished the controllers then.
I know someone who after trying it out for the first time she suggested some kind of giant hamsterball to move in around. I think we´re pretty far from that to have in our living rooms, though.
Sweat. So much sweat.
Isn’t sweat sweet?
(actually it’s salty, I know )
Only sweating sweets would be sweet but not sweating sweat.
I just imagined how this conversion would seem if the word “sweat” were bleeped out of the last couple of posts.
