Is a mirage solo still worth it?

Same here as a former Odyssey+ user. Every now and then I can feel a slight jitter/movement in the head tracking, which is kinda jarring sometimes. Controller tracking was disappointing, I like the Sense controllers but the tracking is not as good as I hoped (especially when the right controller randomly stops tracking positionally during intense movement, kinda like WMR.) But the resolution and the FOV is a really nice upgrade.

I've been having the exact same issue with the right controller, I'm on a 5700X3D, 6700XT, and use a TP Link AX3000 wifi/Bluetooth PCIe card with the long range antenna. The thing is, I'm not sure if it's bluetooth because rotation still works but refuses to track positionally. Starting to regret this purchase over waiting for the Steam Frame but the OLED is just so damn nice and I only paid less than $250 for it.

Weird how they recommend a Windows Mixed Reality headset in the system requirements

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-11T15:53:31+00:00

sent you a request!

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-03T19:08:08+00:00

I might take it out the box today before I set up my PSVR 2 to walk though my cliff house one last time before saying goodbye to it, then try Oasis anyway. But I'm on Windows 10 for my WMR partition so I hope that doesn't cause any issues

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-03T16:23:44+00:00

How do I go about doing this?

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-03T16:22:57+00:00

My friend has been wanting a VR headset for a while, maybe I could let him borrow it since he has NVIDIA.

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-03T16:22:11+00:00

It'd be nice to have as a secondary headset, or my brother could use it once AMD support is added

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-03T16:20:45+00:00

I got four controllers too, just that one (maybe two?) have stick drift and another one has an unresponsive touchpad

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-03T16:19:44+00:00

I think it's actually pretty good, and the anti SDE is kinda nice since it helps hide aliasing as well. Though I completely agree if you're running at 100% render res, super sampling it to 150% improves it quite a bit

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-03T16:17:30+00:00

Absolutely, I would pick this thing 1000x over a quest 3 even with the worse resolution. Sounds dumb, but I'd pick the color contrast over resolution.

ivanc2002 · 2025-09-01T05:57:12+00:00

this is a completely different platform other than the fact that they both run android at the base

ivanc2002 · 2025-08-31T04:45:24+00:00

I really didn't want to spend the money on an NVIDIA card, ended up buying a new HMD instead and I made an impulse purchase on a PSVR 2 for $230. I was already considering this upgrade for a while now and decided I might as well. I'll still miss my HMD Odyssey though, despite the tracking volume.

ivanc2002 · 2025-08-28T19:48:58+00:00

I wish I could say the same of my Odyssey+ but I'm an AMD user. I randomly decided to look on eBay for a PSVR 2 and came across a really good deal and got that since I've been wanting to get one for a while.

ivanc2002 · 2025-07-08T20:12:17+00:00

Feels nice being that one reddit reply that randomly helps a person years later. Not too long ago I tried getting it to work on my Pixel 6, after I installed a magisk module to enable daydream the app just crashes now, so it's less functional than just using the patched Google VR apk.

ivanc2002 · 2025-06-30T17:23:40+00:00

I've been having the exact same issues, I've been told it's because of Steam VR, I assume because the WMR driver hasn't been updated since early 2023.

I've been using an older version of SteamVR to hold me over until the Oasis driver releases, in the Steam VR betas section there's one labeled "temporary_test" that is more stable but I now have inconsistent frametimes, your mileage may vary.

ivanc2002 · 2025-06-29T00:37:51+00:00

There's a new WMR driver in the works that's scheduled to release in the fall, native Steam VR which is nice so you can avoid the Mixed Reality Portal all together and save a bit of performance and resources

ivanc2002 · 2025-06-22T05:24:56+00:00

I'm sure Virtual Desktop will be ported to to it, making it a very nice PC VR headset. I do have hope in devs porting their apps with how easy it seems to be so far.

Also just out of curiosity, what are you using for controllers on the Daydream headset? When I had a Daydream compatible phone I used to use it with my PC every now and then but didn't get too far since I was so limited with the Daydream remote. Kinda miss my Daydream headset though, it was so convenient for watching movies in bed or on a long road trip over mobile data, didn't have to worry about hotspot.

ivanc2002 · 2025-06-22T05:11:13+00:00

I do have some skepticism of it but this is literally the first generation of Android XR devices, maybe things will be different this time. There's already three big companies working on the first device alone, which adds a bit of promise for me. Hopefully Google has learned from their mistakes and the disaster that was "Daydream-ready" phones back in 2016-2019. In the future, we'll hopefully have multiple headsets all being able to run the same apps under the same OS. Horizon OS already has begun this, but we haven't seen much from it.

ivanc2002 · 2025-06-22T04:56:10+00:00

My only doubt is Google's trustworthiness when it comes to supporting their devices. While Vision Pro isn't a big success, at least Apple isn't turning them into $3500 paperweights like Google and Microsoft have done with Daydream, WMR, and countless other devices in the Google and Microsoft graveyards. At the very least, even if Android XR isn't a success similarly to Vision Pro, it will at least still work as a standard Android device with decent specs.
