VR Kit arriving this week

[Bogman]

Finally got an email to say its on its way so looking forward to trying it all out at last.

Its the Oculus Rift system with 2 hand paddles.

Any recommendations on what downloads to get from any of you with experience of VR?

Of course I'll try a bit of porn to see what its like but anything else you recommend - roller coasters appeals to me.

Half-Life: Alyx. Goes without saying. I'm tempted to buy a new PC + VR headset just to experience this game. Also check out Boneworks on youtube That's about the extent of my knowledge unfortunately.

Are VR on PC actually any good? I have never thought about getting a VR kit.

As jre679 siad, I would more likely need a new PC too, as my home PC is around 8/9 years old, which has been updated a little, but too old to support many of the latest software.
It uses DDR2 ram for feck sake

You're not too far behind me Floki. My PC is about 6 year old and DDR3 Both overdue an upgrade so may as well spec it for VR. Obviously Half-Life: Alyx interests me but i'm also an avid sim racer and most PC racing sims support VR. For yourself you'd need to do some research and find some games you like. I have a 3 game rule before i buy any new console/PC. Has served me well in the past.

Read "Oculus Rift system with 2 hand paddles" & thought for a minute until I read all the thread
it was going to be about a BDSM spanking device

Was thinking to get one for a relaxation virtual experience after I subscribed to an app with sounds of nature ..amazing. But to feel u are there..to see the waterfall and hear the water sound or to navigate in a tropical forest virtual and hear the heavy rain ...what a bliss. Probably I don't need a VR very performant like yours .can u recommend me any model of VR? I will not play games just the 3d experience of being in the midlle of nature just for meditation and relaxation purpose. Thanks

Tried to set it up but my hardware is not hi spec enough so have given it to a friend of mine who is into gaming and he is trying it on his current machine to see how well it runs there and then will let me know what to buy for myself to run it.

[Bogman]

He has it running and says its just amazing piece of kit.

You need a pretty high powered PC for the oclus rift plus you have all the leads. Oclus go is wireless and if it's as good as the gear headset it'll be more than adequate for what you want cherry and I think you get head tones with it and even without them the sounds supposed to be very good.

Thank you for your replay litllespike.

I have a Dell Inspiron 13 5379 . Processor : Intel(R) Core (TM) i5-8250U CPU @1,60GHZ 1,80 GHZ ; Video Card: Intel® UHD Graphics 620 with shared graphic memory ,Memory: 8GB DDR4 ; Hard Drive: 256GB .
If I buy Oculus Go will work with this laptop? Any good websites to recommend where can I find to buy? Thanks!

One thing I'd also recommend you all to look at in vr is the eygyption pyramids you'd really think you were there

Egipt is one place I would love to visit, always wanted but probably will never go... pyramids and northern lights. The 2 things I would really love to see... for real not just pictures and virtual
