>mobile VR headset
This is even more retarded than console VR.
There is no way mobile phone can handle any immersive VR. Just buy OR or Vive or hold until next generation for better price/quality ratio.

>>56595539
I have disposable income. One of the reasons I'm buying one of these now is so I can hold myself over until the next generation of PC headsets. Plus, one like this won't really ever be outdated since all the hardware is external

>>56595565
But these things are useless.

I would recommend getting a Xiaomi VR or Bobovr3, sticking your (probably decent) smartphone into it, and using that.

Google cardboard glasses with cool smartphones inside are like the main thing in mobile VR glasses.

The low end ones are meme.

I haven't particularly tried the high end ones like Oculus/Vive, but those mobile phone VR headsets are garbage, all of them from the expensive Samsung one to the cheap $5 chink one. Its the same shit.

Waste of money.

>>56595565
Trust me, I bought one of those. These are beyond useless. They're fun for at best 3 minutes.

Otherwise, get a good headset (VIVE), or wait another year or two.

>>56595419
Just get a basic Google Cardboard set for a few bucks. It's quite neat using it to watch 3D YouTube videos on a huge virtual cinema screen. Gets tiring quite quickly, but still neat.

As for any sort of interactive use (games), forget it. You'll spend an hour trying a few dozen shitty VR games from the Play Store and then never touch them again.

You can't get a smartphone-driven VR setup that's comparable in any way at all to the Vive/OR. Try Cardboard but please don't think it's representative of real VR.

>Trust me, I bought one of those. These are beyond useless. They're fun for at best 3 minutes.
Untrue. They're fun for several hours. And the good ones from china are what, like 25 bucks and the cheap ones being less than half of that? Totally worth it imo. The real question is why OP would be dumb enough to get the expensive piece of garbage that isn't better than the chinese ones.

>>56596588
An hour or so of configuring the smartphone/VR setup. Then few minutes of actually testing the setup.

Thats the mobile VR experience in nutshell. No matter if its $100 or if its $10. Its the same shit. I've tried couple, and right now those are sitting on the shelf collecting dust.

>>56596731
>An hour of configuration

You are doing a terrible job convincing me that you have ever even tried it

>>56596745
The VR headsets are ready to use. You have to set up your phone/earphone, get the right distance, qr code, clean the lenses, adjust the tightness of the gear on your head, find appropriate videos/apps, etc.

If you know everything about how to setup the VR, then it will take about 15 mins-20 mins. Otherwise expect an hour or so of setup time.

>>56596827
Nigga it takes like 2 seconds. The convenience is the beauty of it

>>56596827
Yeah it doesn't take an hour dude. The cheapest ones (The actual cardboard ones) take like 5 minutes, and the ones where the lenses can be adjusted etc might take 15 minutes if you have autism and have to get it perfect from the start. Most people will spend 5 minutes and maybe make some minor adjustments as they go. "Getting apps" takes like one minute and you're good to go. As for the stuff you can do, if you haven't had any experience with VR stuff there's plenty of little concept games, there's augmented reality, 3D youtube videos etc.

Nobody is saying that google cardboard (and the like) is some endless source of wonder or even remotely comparable to a real VR kit, but you can get a few hours of fun with it for a very low money, and honestly it seems you're just overly critical.

>>56597055
>few hours of fun
If you're a retard maybe.

Its a dumb investment because at most you'll get few minutes of enjoyment, the thrill of new thing. Once that vanity wears off, you'll see the garbage product that it is.

As far as investsments go, that $10-$100 could go towards much better use, anywhere from good pair of earphone to good SSDs. Nearly 1000x the return on any of these products.

i've got one and always use it for porn. it was 20 bucks. works great on a big phone with 2k res

>>56597128
What's porn like on it

>>56597157
Low quality.

>>56597157
Makes me cum

>>56597113
Well, based on your posts they're a hell of a lot more fun than hanging out with you.

>>56597157
Bare bones right now. It's all pretty generic but I'm sure that will change within the next couple years. Everything I saw after searching for 15 minutes was either pov or orgy stuff

>>56597055
> is some endless source of wonder or even remotely comparable to a real VR kit
The "real VR kit" 's best content is like a billard simulator and a physics engine / house outfitting game.

Don't make it sound like THESE are an endless source of wonder. It's cool to see what they can do, but there is a distinct "tech demo" feel to the content overall, it's actually not really fancier than a Cardboard.


Plus the Cardboard variant doesn't actually have that much less relevant technology if your phone is good.

>>56595419
I have the samsung vr and I found porn really awesome. and some of the travel videos are nice.

I dont know why so much hate but I dont give a fuck I like it.

>>56597157
because there is no headtracking it's all static and just looks like 3D movies in the cinema
when we get 360 degrees it's when shit's gonna get real

>>56597157
it needs more teens but I loved.

You want one? Get Google cardboard that fits your phone. Even for a millionaire these little pieces of plastic are garbage. Just get the cheaper one since they are all equally poo

how can you call yourself a true gamer without a VR backpack by MSI???

>>56597976
Cardboard has no head strap and is uncomfortable at best

You can get a headset with padding and head strap for like $10. Can't do much with it but it's still fun if you have a 1440 or better screen

>>56598038
I can see this being kinda cool desu

>>56598038
OH GOD MY 3RD DEGREE BACK BURNS

>>56598038
Cyberpunk AF man

>>56595419
None
VR without motion tracking is a gimmick
Also mobile headsets are apparently getting inside-out tracking soon

>>56598038
>backpack computer for sim racing vr

>>56598385
Wrong, it does.

Anyone experience Razors VR? Half of Vives price but same specs.

>>56601193
Razer has shitty motion tracking and no controllers

cardboard is a meme. just a shitty experience that tires your arms or if you bought a chink cardboard, straps to your fat caucasian skull too tightly and cuts your nose open

>>56595419
>I buy every retarded product just because I have disposable income that I should have used on stocks.

Get OR, Vive, pc upgrade or put it in stocks.

>>56602434
>not spending your money

Almost as dumb as working out so you stay healthy and eventually die of nothing. Fucking lel.

>>56598038
Allahu Akbar!

I had a couple before getting the Vive. My favorite was bobovr z3 (with headphones taken off since they were horrible)

Get a Razer headset. It's open source, upgradable and only costs $299 for basic or $399 comfier version.

>>56598038
I mean this is a pretty obvious step is VR is supposed to go anywhere

Wireless connections will never work as well as a proper one, and being tethered to a stationary pc takes a lot out of the experience

Doesn't look very comfortable though desu

>buy cardboard
>download v-ridge apps
>play pc games with cardboard
Done this when I played Elite and it was pretty cool

>>56597157
Shit.
