Topic	Thinking of making the jump into VR.
Ngamer64 06/03/19 8:02:31 PM #9:	The most important aspect of having a good VR experience is accurate tracking, and the Vive's laser-mounted tracking system is the best of all the options you listed. Your 1060 is going to be able to run all the games you want in the recommended quality, it probably can't do the highest quality on the newest games but that's fine, it's not going to make you sick. Here's what I do. I have the wall mounts screwed into the walls of my house so there's zero wiggle on the boxes housing the lasers, it gives me perfect accuracy on my movement. Ideal situation, even for long 3-4 hour sessions. When I want to show VR to people at a different house or venue, I use $20 camera tripods I got on amazon. The mounts can screw into the bases and I can get them high enough in the air for good tracking. There's going to be a little wiggle there since everything's not screwed down tight, but someone trying VR for the first time isn't going to notice so it's good for the purposes of a demo. So if you want to stay in the price range you mentioned above I'd do the original Vive. However, just so you don't feel cheated if you buy it right now, you should know that the Valve Index comes out at the end of the month and it improves on the Vive (and these other options) in every way. More pixels, larger field of view, the same perfect tracking, built in headphones, and better controllers that are like gloves, so you get individual control of each finger. ...that being said, it's $1000 for the full package, so well beyond what you're looking to spend right now. I vote to go with the Vive and if you love it, you can think about upgrading a year from now when there's even better options out there. The nice thing about the steam ecosystem for VR is that all the parts are interchangable. For instance right now I'm using my original Vive laser system for tracking with a Pimax 8k headset and I'm swapping in the Index glove-like controllers later this month. --- Advo bested even The Show hosts in 2018, yowza! board8.wikia.com \| thengamer.com/xstats <cite>Ngamer64 posted [p:922750574] in Thinking o...
