Well, as someone who has been only in 1 vr headset, in 2014, for 5 minutes, and hasnt seen one since, you could say im a noob.
Im here to ask a couple of question just before I buy my headset, so ill be in your care to answer them. thanks in advance~
first of all, how much space will I need for a vive or rift, is sitting vr worth it? I barely have a 1m by 1m space in my room. I do have space in the living room, but my pc is in my room. which leads me to another question, if I do go full tracking vr in my living room, how do I get my pc there? are hdmi and usb active extension cables good enough or will it make for a less enjoyable vr experience?
heres another question, and one that has been a debate for long. vive or rift? the rift is lots cheaper, at 400$ and even goes down to 350$ sometimes, while the vive is 500$ and ive never seen it go lower. maybe I just didnt check enough, but it is definitely more expensive. I also heard the rift's controllers are lots better, because they are lighter, is that true? I also also heard the rift lighthouses are not as good as the vives and tracking is mediocre on them, is it true?
if all of those are true, beside the lighthouses, the rift seems to be superior, right?
but heres the thing, the vive has first party wireless while the rift has only 3rd party wireless, but beside the headset being more expensive, the vive wireless costs about 2/3 of the headset itself..
is vr wireless worth it? does it introduce too much lag and make it easier to have motion sickness?
if it is worth it, is the 3rd party vr for the rift good enough to call viable and because of the reduced prices even worth it?
the price doesn't bother me THAT much, but I would rather pay less if possible, if the vive is heaps better I will suck it up and buy it, even the wireless for it. but if the difference between the two is minimal, I have even heard people say the rift is better, not even looking at the price tag.
also, about the new vr headsets coming this new year, will it be a better idea to wait for them and see prices drop on the old ones?
I heard rift like controllers are coming to the vive, 2 new oculus headsets and possible major reduces in price for the vive.
thanks for answering my questions!
