>Room too small for HTC Lighthouse

>Don't want facebook strapped to my face

>Would have to upgrade my PC in order to run two 2k displays, and not too motivated about doing that for the above 2 reasons

What do?

 No.1167

>>"The HTC Vive will also be a sitting experience, and not an exclusive standing experience"

They make their HMD cost 250 more dollars because of the lighthouse system.


 No.1169

Also, I hate Samsung.

HTC Lighthouse is good technology, but you would rarely use it even if you had room.

Look what happened to motion controls, they mostly required you to stand up and have room.

Do you think with VR it would be any different? Very unlikely.


 No.1171

Wait two more years


 No.1180

option 1: Realize you're not having facebook strapped to your face and buy the rift.

option 2: Forget vr and move on with your life.


 No.1352

Graphics cards will be cheaper late 2016 and as the gen 1 headsets will all have released by then, it's easier to plan long-term for the road ahead.

Hardware manufacturers are collaborating with Oculus to create "Oculus ready" pre-built PCs. Naturally, you can get better graphics cards for less if you can wait a while.

That also guarantees more content, because if VR really takes off, content will be coming at a much faster pace. The launch content seems pretty slim with few actual games and mostly tech demos.

Until then, PSVR seems like the best option as it's standardized to a closed ecosystem, especially if you already own a PS4. If not, then well, you'll need to cough up cash for a rig that can power VR anyway, be it a PC or a console.

PSVR comes with waifu simulator and I already have a PS4 so for me that's a no-brainer.

I'm going to invest in a killer mustard rig probably late 2016, but that depends on the market. I might wait.

Either way, we have nothing to lose by looking ahead and seeing how VR is received and how it evolves, if you are in doubt.
