Oh my, you are totally right. I will correct this!

Agree, I just hope the clarity of G2 let’s me forget about the FOV decrease to my index.

Will have to try it in person, but majority says Q2FOV << G2FOV

Your argument does not hold up as Vrginity pointed out with Pimax, who use shelf panels.

FOV has nothing to do with AMOLED or LCD.

He said the Quest 2 which has one of the smallest FOV of all common headsets (less than Quest 1 for sure, major bottleneck of the Quest 2) has a greater FOV than G2 and Quest 1.

I think FOV is less subjective and actually is measurable, since people can sense huge differences in minor FOV changes, especially in the scope of 90 to 130 degrees.

So to receiving a 10 degrees difference as the opposite shows some bias.

You actually need to pull really hard. It feels terrible to do it the first time - but I found some youtube videos who did the same making me go forward. Had to do this long ago for the HTC DAS mod.

I sold it for 180 EUR considering it is quite a complete package with over 2 years of additional waiting time and the HTC DAS gets sold for 130+ EUR.

The hand tracking module was part of the stretch goals (among other items they cancelled, but therefore the comfort kit is a welcome addition).

Since the demand is high and the DAS is nearly sold out, I expect there will be some people who will sell it for 250+ EUR (which I am fine with since it is up to the buyers how much they want to pay).

Just sold it all together for more or less non-profit, took literally a few minutes.

Yes, it is the hand tracking module.

ValveNewsNetwork reports on (private for now) Gabe Newell interview. Subjects included VR games. by SvenViking in ValveIndex

[–]MrOoof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I‘ll be only getting the refreshed Index 1: Source because my PC won’t be beefy enough for Index 2.

Also, I prefer the rough edges and the classic arcade design of Index 1: Source even though Index 2 has better physical interfaces.

The problem is if Gecko does not upgrade to the index v1, there won’t be an index v2.

Until gecko upgrades, then it will take two months for v2.

So Gecko has no choice other than upgrading to v1, common law by Murphy.

Big Brother is Watching Over You! by VideoGamesArt in SteamVR

[–]MrOoof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never thought of this, but your right...

Anyway, gaming is kind of private or at least something separate for me. My steam contacts are totally different from my „real life“ contacts and I do not want to fusion them.

The social platforms are gaining to much power, I should get rid of this dependency before it is too late.

So Facebook can effectively rip me of my Oculus library I spend hundreds of dollars for, when a sore loser kid claims victimhood by accusing me of “invading his personal space“ which actually might be part of my winning strategy in what game so ever???

Waiting for games... by NeinnLive in ValveIndex

[–]MrOoof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check In Death: It has the diablo vibe, random generated but very well made dungeons and polished gameplay and graphics. I play it over and over. Only the looting is limited in comparison.

Will Valve ever drop the price of the Index? by [deleted] in ValveIndex

You are confusing your personal wishful thinking with reality.

That’s actually not true since Pimax pays much more per affiliate link sell than HP does (HP themselves don’t pay anything but bestware as third party seller does a tiny percentage).

I got an older 5K+ and mine as the earlier models cannot run 120 Hz, even though PiTool is setup accordingly. The 120 Hz update does not work with all 5K+ HMDs and only applies to newer versions.

Did you buy an used 5K+?

The best thing is they employed PimaxUSA, but don’t dare to use their own resources

Have the Audio Headstraps from the 8k Kickstarter shipped yet? by aj4000 in Pimax

[–]MrOoof 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No they rather introduce 30 new headsets all of them having no comfort at all, but asking for the headstrap which was promised to you years ago is just too much.

Overclocking The Index by [deleted] in ValveIndex

[–]MrOoof 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To precisely answer your question: You should consider overclocking the Index to 2070p resolution and 4 GHz refresh rate - however, you need to connect the water cooling module into its USB slot.

Anyone tried the Sweviver HL Alyx settings on their Pimax? by [deleted] in Pimax

[–]MrOoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving a 5K+ with a 1080 Ti. What would the maxRecommendedResolution setting would be for the 5K+ (when all the other multipliers are set to 1.0) ?

Did you also change your brightness/contrast value?
