So the VIVE finally responded to the RIFT sale with their own.
Currently going for £599 bongs, is it time to cash in for VR?
>inb4 w8 for knuckles
Saw the Tested live demo and they look far from done, might not be ready until mid 18'

sure, if you wanna look like a dork with your $600 naruto headband from the future
I'd get one if my PC was up to snuff, but after upgrading by GPU and CPU and be around $1500.

Pls no VR bully, we get it, we've been over it.
It's more affordable and the VIVE is much better than putting shekels into zuckerjews hands.

Isn't HTC selling its VR dept off?
I was thinking of biting the bullet on this, I don't know. Onward looks really good and a few others, is now the best time to get into Vr?
>bought rift on sale
Don't do it.
It seems like there are some neat games out there, even though they look somewhat, I dunno, limited? Like a bigger version of a smartphone game. Kinda unsure if I will get one.
How is porn in VR?

more like the VR division is escaping the sinking ship of HTC

Depending on who's going to buy it
just a reminder that we are now only one year away from gen2, which will btfo gen1
expected gen2 features:
2k or better resolution
wireless
eye tracking
reduced weight and size
controllers with full hand tracking

and still no games

Who's going to invest into R&D after gen 1 headsets have massively flopped?
>>388317540
you won't need VR games for gen2 to be worth buying, the virtual desktop alone would pay for itself. no bulky headset, no wires, just put on the HMD and you have your own virtual movie theater with an acceptable resolution. hopefully they will have an option to buy just the headset with no controllers.

>b-but the gimmicks!
Yeah, no thanks.
Son, you had me spend all that money on something that you never use, and now it's on sale?!
>>388317695
people forget this isn't only a consumer product. even if VR completely tanks with mass market (which it hasn't), the military, NASA, doctors, etc, are already buying, using, and developing VR.

I'm not sure why all the companies are focusing on consumer VR instead of targeting businesses. It would be extremely useful for 3d design, visualization, rapid prototyping, remote control. And the unit itself is dirt cheap by commercial standards
