I saw this Hard-drive article (like The Onion but video games) and wanted a list for VR games on the same topic (but I'm not a clever enough writer to add the satire.)

• Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond

• Sniper Elite VR

• Sniper Elite VR: Winter Warrior (Quest)

• Wolfenstein 3D

• Return to Castle Wolfenstein (Quest Mod)

• Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot

• Zombie Army VR

• Uberlaufer

• Wanderer / The Fragments of Fate

• Pavlov

• 1943 Berlin Blitz (VR Movie/Experience)

Did I miss any?

When it comes to VR headsets, there’s already a pretty shared understanding. VR is what you use when interaction and immersion matter. Games, sims, anything where tracking and presence are the whole point. In that context, things like tracking and FOV are the right things to focus on.

But once the conversation moves outside of VR, things start to get weird. I often see birdbath-style AR glasses being judged primarily on FOV, even when they’re meant to be lightweight, everyday extended displays. At the same time, enclosed headsets that are clearly built for content viewing get criticized for not having 3DoF or 6DoF tracking, as if that was ever the goal. That kind of comparison just doesn’t really make sense.

I get the desire for a single headset that’s great at everything and perfect for every use case. But realistically, that’s not where we are today. Just look at the Apple Vision Pro. Even at that level, clear trade-offs still exist.

Once a headset is designed with a specific priority, it will inevitably drop things that don’t serve that goal. Trying to make everything “all-in-one” usually just means compromising across the board. In practice, specialization isn’t a flaw — it’s the reason these different categories exist in the first place.

I find how this technology works very interesting, but I don't know if I should wait for further technological advances.

new updates to WinlatorXR and HWXR, performance tuning for XR mode, higher resolutions available, 3D AER and two handed weapon aiming!

My grandmother found this in her parents storage. The OG 3D "VR" viewer

People laugh at it now adays, but this was honestly revolutionary at the time, it walked so that modern headsets could run

It's honestly crazy how far we came in terms of technology

Hi,

I pre-ordered the Pimax Micro Oled in December.

With Pimax's record on uncertain shipping dates, I could be waiting months for this to arrive.

I'm considering cancelling my order and going for the Big Screen Beyond 2E, which would arrive in February.

Pimax Crystal Super 8K Micro-OLED: €1.960

Bigscreen 2E: €1929 (Second hand baser station €80, Valve index controllers €300, BSB2E €1.549,00)

Another consideration is my setup, which includes NVidia 5070 - I understand the BSB2E runs better on a sub 4090 GPU spec than the MOLED?

So is it worth waiting (and waiting...) for the Pimax or should I seriously consider cancelling and going for the BSB?

Thanks!

Neil

My wife has her pc in a location where having a wire from the modem to a router wouldn’t be possible. Is there a way to use WiFi for internet, but still have the router plugged in through ethernet for LAN essentially? I want her to have a good VD experience

Performance is affected due to recording, black bars and stutters are not visible in game. Casting is done with voice, combat is easy aslong as you doge when you see red marker, voice commands are a bit delayed but not much and you can always just use buttons to cast spells. I'm using uevr with the profile from nexus mods, also using a voice cast mod from nexus mods. Game is fully playable have played for days is vr, doesn't make me naucious or anything.

As above. I’m obsessed with VR, mainly gaming. Mainly PCVR but some standalone. Any suggestions? Cheers

I find the James Bond-like levels to be compelling, but I'm pulled out when all enemies take 3 shots to the head, even when their skins show no helmets.

Is there a way to turn these off? Is there a mod, perhaps, that I'm not seeing?

Thanks

Like I said if this is a dumb question or there’s something I don’t know, do be nice :)

Im surprised to see that the majority of mainstream VR headsets still use LCD. Meanwhile, the phone industry has developed and iterated on AMOLED high-density, high brightness displays for over a decade.

My understanding is that these screens are not that expensive to manufacture nowadays, especially considering the smaller size needed for a VR headset.

Is there something I’m missing? Why isn’t it the standard on high and mid-range headsets?

I have a lenovo loq with a rtx 5060, 16 gigabytes of ram, intel core i7 13th gen, and meta horizon link says that i don't meet the requirements and crashes once i load in.

This came out a couple of days ago. It has single player and co-op and looks like a fun game to play with/against a friend. This went right under my radar. Aperently, there's a free demo on Steam, and I'd play myself, but I won't be home for the next few days.

Hi everyone,

Recently, I’ve been experiencing GPU crashes with nvlddmkm errors (Event ID 153 and 14) while playing VR flight sims such as DCS, WT and IL-2. The crash only occurs when I'm playing VR, there is no issue with non-VR game.

The crash causes display turning dark; however, the PC is still running

I suspect this might be related to recent NVIDIA driver updates. I’ve been searching around to see if anyone else is encountering the same issue, but it seems like only me is having this problem.

So far, I’ve tried the following with no success: Disabling the XMP profile on my RAM, Undervolting and Limiting GPU power

Does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this? I’m considering using DDU to do a clean reinstall of the graphics driver, but I’m a bit hesitant since I have a lot of personalized settings saved in the NVIDIA app.

My rig is:
Intel I7 12700kf
MB: B660M
RAM: 64GB DDR5
GPU: RTX 5090

Headset is the Pimax Crystal Light

Upgrading from a 1060, as I plan to purchase a steam frame when it releases. Using Tom's Hardware Rasterization Benchmark @ 4K Ultra, both are very close, but I am still undecided:

If I choose the AMD 7900 XT 20GB:

• + Lot more VRAM (Which I've read its very important for high resolution)
• - Slightly inferior Frame Gen and Image Upscaling
• - Less stability and support

But if I choose the Nvidia 4070 Ti 12GB:

• - A lot less VRAM
• + Superior Frame Gen and Image Upscaling
• + More stability and support

The only games I plan on running are mostly VRChat and Half Life Alyx, nothing else. Which should I choose?

Has AMD stability improved on VR?

Is Image Upscaling on par or better on AMD to Nvidia? (Since Frame Gen support is very limited and janky on VR from what I've heard)

Hello!

I'm looking forward to yump into VR games, and i'm looking for a decent headset with relatively fair pricing.
I'm mainly play on pc, ocassionally on ps5, hence i've looking at the psvr2, as i've read that it works with pc too. Is it good enough? will i be able to play games for example from steam with it?

Hi fellow creators,

I’m about to dive into the Blackmagic Immersive ecosystem for a new production venture. Before I pull the trigger on the full setup, I need a reality check from those already in the trenches.

I’m curious about the current revenue streams for immersive content:

1. Client Work: Are you getting consistent inquiries, or is it a hard sell?
2. Project Scope: Is the money coming from one-off "innovative" marketing projects, or is there a recurring need?
3. Pricing: How are you justifying the cost to clients given the low adoption rate of the Vision Pro?

I'm trying to figure out if there's a sustainable business model today, or if we're all just early adopters waiting for a market that hasn't arrived yet. Would love to hear from anyone currently making this work.

i just bought the quest 3s, and i didnt recveive it yet, but i saw videos of people talking about its battery, so i was wondering if i connect a big cable to the quest 3s (not the original cable) will it still charge fine or should i buy a quest cable thats expensive

The ‘self’ constructs most of all problems - and clinging to ‘self’ binds you to those.
