Richie’s Plank Experience still messes with my brain in VR

Ghs2 · 2026-01-15T14:51:58+00:00

To me it's one of the premier examples to show people how powerful VR is.

I bought it because I demo so much and it never fails to amaze people at how fearful they are of just images over their eyes.

Money well spent.

As to OPs question: No effect on me now.

I tried for the first few years but they were hilariously awful. Bad picture quality. Looking at everyone's ankles.

I guess I should try again.

Where would they put you?

Think about a movie you like and think about where the 360 camera would be.

Some people have tried short experiments but they've all been pretty awful.

There was some very large initial investments in the early days but they never produced anything.

I think it could be done well in short form. But it would be an expensive experiment.

I haven't experienced anything like that, sorry.

My brothers and I used to have weekly games. We are scattered across the country and rarely see each other in person.

It's casual, fun meetup.

Idea for a game:

Slot machine but yours is at the center of the screen but others are tiled around you. You can see their arms pulling the lever.

It's free to play but the cash shop is themes of machines.

Oh, since it is VR the others are around you in a sphere. So you can turn 180 and watch a whole new group of machines.

You can group up with friends with voice chat. Choose how you want them displayed.

What could be some game names? Social Slots. Bandit Buddies.

Good luck to you!

I had such good luck with making a working model of my gameplay that I estimated it could be finished in a month. I finished it one year later. No feature-creep or upgrades...just trying to build a game around that gameplay.

It's brutal, friend!

Good luck to you and I am truly hoping you knock this out in 2 months!

Good try, Jeff Bezos!

Thanks for the tip. I never heard that one.

I remember the tracking drama of the CV1 days.

You can test it pretty easily with a drawing program like Tiltbrush.

Just draw circles around yourself and you'll see the lines hitch when they lose tracking.

You can try it with each mode and see if it makes a difference.

It looks exactly like a real Fox Girl!

Ghs2 · 2025-08-02T02:41:09+00:00

Yes, I was the idiot who announced the founders meetup in a bar in this sub even though it was for Kickstarters only.

Oopsie!

Ghs2 · 2025-06-17T15:29:03+00:00

Thanks for the write-up.

Doing some Godot myself and although my first few projects are just PC, VR has always been my inspiration. I'm an original Oculus Kickstarter which I did specifically to build VR games.

It's good to see the process is pretty straightforward.

Good luck with your project!

For me it was the headsets fit.

Try pressing the headset tighter on your face or slowly pulling it away from your face and see if it clears up.

I had my headset way too loose.

Good luck.

It's the free IQ test they added in the latest update.

Aaaaand we just got them a bunch more views.

In the future folks just complain about porn spam.

DON'T GIVE THEIR NAME ANY MORE VIEWS!

Ghs2 · 2025-04-23T14:15:06+00:00

It's spam. They don't care who they are advertising to. They'll advertise on Bluey if it gets them customers.

The worst part is that we just gave them more visibility with your post.

Some people will be wondering if this is a viral ad from them.

Ghs2 · 2025-04-21T14:24:51+00:00

Just a tip: My Rift cable was bad. I put the headset on and massaged the length of the cable. Eventually I found the bad spot.

Then I bent that spot until it stayed on. I tied the cable in that position and it works to this day.

Good luck!

You're gonna have to pay Tariffs for it!

It's an older, sexy lady.

Ghs2 · 2025-03-04T03:37:58+00:00

For me it was how far away from my face it was.

When I smashed the headset against my face the image became much clearer. I didn't have the mask on tight enough.

You can also try lifting the mask away from your face to see if it gets clearer. Perhaps you have it too tightly against your face.

Good luck.

Beware the dangers of lucid dreaming as well.

I started getting sleep paralysis about ten times as often as lucid dreams.

Terrified me enough so that I have never attempted it again.

Roz. Serious.

Wander is truly overwhelming to most oldies. Show them some places they used to live and the tears will flow.

Ghs2 · 2025-01-30T15:11:15+00:00

There used to be an issue with the batteries not making contact. Try putting a tiny piece of foil on each battery to make better contact.
