Will Pi's Oculus Rift ship today? It's already there!

Valkyrie was really cool. I felt like i was actually flying. Making sharp turns is pretty intense.

I wonder how it compares to Elite in that regard.

I'll tell you in a little bit.

So i'm here sitting in a forest making this post from vr.

How does it feel to be mere mortals?

So i only got a few mins with elite. It was a bit of a pain to get going. You have to enter steam vr. Go threw that set up then you can play elite. I tried just getting it from the oculus store but it wasn't as simple as the virtual desktop app and I'm not sure you can do it without buying that version. But man was it cool. Out of all the stuff I tried to day it felt the best.

Pretty sure you can request the oculus version for free.

Awesome to hear it felt good. The flying didn't make you sick?

No not at all. I was neat looking out the window at other miners mining Rock. I was stumbling with my stick a bit as I couldn't remeber the controlls. Which it would be nice to be able to see them in game and have holo lable the button.

Awesome, I'm downloading the oculus version now. That sound make thing Easier.

Well Project cars was awesome for a minute then the view started jumping around. All the sudden i was in the passenger seat, then outside the car then facing the side of my headless driver. And this game is total shame with an xbox controller.

Well it wasn't the game, it's the rift .

Does the camera have a bad view maybe?

Does the camera have a bad view maybe?

Shouldn't be an issue. But it's been running nonstop for almost 8 hours, except for a little 30 min break, but I think I left it running during that time. I shut it down to see if it would fix it's self.

Does the camera have a bad view maybe?

Okay, I got it. I had to unplug the camera and reset it.

Okay, So I'm sitting here trying to gather my thoughts about elite in VR. It's almost too much. Not that the other game aren't good making you feel like you're there. But this game just take it to a whole nother level.  It felt eerie, being inside of you space ship floating in space. It made me feel nervous. I got pulled from hype cruse twice. The first time I failed the escap vector, and got killed. I was almost starting to get scared, while I was being shot, and fumbling for the controls to get my shields back on line and jump back into hyperspace. Smoke started to fill the cabin and my windshield crack. Which lead to my ship exploding and getting ejected out into space. The second time I succeeded, which is a first and a testament to how much easier it is to judge movements in vr. Now I'm about 10 min drive away from the asteroid belt i'm heading too. If I die again I might not have enough cash to buy my ship over.

I can't stress enough about how much I actually feel like I'm there. I get lost in the game. Suddenly all the bad things about the headset melt away and it's me and my ship and the whole galaxy in front of me. What to do?

Would anyone watch if I can figure out how to stream it?

Elite Dangerous in VR

[the-pi-guy]

What's the quality like?

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

What's the quality like?

It's pretty good. Just not as good as what I see on my monitor.  It's hard to say, if I where to give it a real world number it would be higher than 720 but noticeably less than 1080.

But really once you get lost in it. None of that matters.

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

I can only Handel avout 4 rounds of eve. There's way too much turning going on. I don't care how how well you handle vr. If you soon in circles long enough it will hey to you.
