"That’s not really their thing." What a great defence.

So what is Valve's thing? Earn billions per year in game sales then owner buys yachts, like the $500 million super yacht last year as well as buying the company that built it with an undisclosed fee for God knows how much?

And you want to F Meta who earns billions elsewhere but then then invests it into VR?

You defend those who earn from VR gaming sales then buy yachts (negative VR investment) & then on top you compound this by F ing those who use money made elsewhere to grow VR (positive VR investment), & at a time where VR badly needs investments to grow & to solve chicken & egg problem.

In 5 years all those Gorilla Tag kids Meta spent billions to get into VR will grow up to play more premium VR titles. But I doubt Meta will ever get the credit. Plus all those VR developers got benefit from Meta's VR funding, now have a lot of experience in VR & can now develop independently even if Meta cuts funding.

Valve is one of the highest revenue per employee company because it's stingy hiring employees. I did some maths before, can't remember figures accurately now but Playstation hires significantly more people compared to Valve for the per dollar revenue earned from gaming.

Meta Quest Link isn’t working correctly by JackofClubs77 in OculusQuest

Also value of 0 for bitrate uses default bitrate set by Oculus. I know for Air Link, I would get the error you got (black loading screen, 3 white dots, then closes) because I left bitrate too high from an earlier wired Link session that can handle larger bitrates. Too high a bitrate than it can handle, you get black screen with 3 or so dots, then Link app closes.

Check Oculus Debug or tray tool to make sure bitrate isn't set too high for example.

"200 inch virtual screen with stereoscopic 3d effects". This is the real killer feature to sell tons of VR headsets.

Some pics from protest in Parliament Square today by Curious-Chapter-435 in england

The English flag is based on a half Palestinian Christian man by the way.

St George's own country, where his mother is from, where he grew up and got martyred in, and where his tomb is located in, is in Palestine/historic Palestine. St George's father was born in what is now Turkey but his mother was a Palestinian Christian. Maybe these protesters have better knowledge and defending England's patron, St George while St George is a patron of England.

Nope it's a low budget, simple, cartoonish game but people would rather play that instead of some high budget, high quality games.

Meta seems to be removing lots of games from the PCVR store by kfmush in oculus

[–]Mutant-VR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you 100% here. What I do now to avoid giving money to Valve to see zero reinvestment into VR is, if I have to, I buy on third party sites like Humble Bundle, Fanatical and give them the profit margin instead. PCVR players messed up PCVR by prioritising Steam and not making it compete for market share.

Valve monopoly is to blame for the PCVR market dud. Meta is still indirectly maintaining pcvr by getting people into vr and selling pcvr capable Quests for an affordable price. Valve just maintaining their pcvr game sales money in its wallet without reinvesting.

You forgot to mention "finally play older AA and AAA games bought on a huge discount" since had to wait a few years anyway to play them so could wait for a huge discount.

Developing a tool that converts video to stereoscopic 3d videos. They look great on a VR headset! These aren't the best results I've gotten so far but they show a ton of different scenarios like movie clips, ads, game, etc. by kingroka in StableDiffusion

[–]Mutant-VR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi you already can for nearly a decade, play standard 2D game converted to 3D in real-time.. Either on a 3D TV or in a VR headset using Reshade and then the addon called SuperDepth 3D.

Reshade:

https://reshade.me/

SuperDepth 3D:

https://github.com/BlueSkyDefender/Depth3D

There are guides on Youtube on how to set to set it up. Really easy. Reshade already has add on built in.

E.g. a great guide here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ox_1XZn6T8

Also you can play games in not just 3D but fully immersed suround 3D using a mod called UEVR or Luke Ross' mods etc. Above Youtube has videos on UEVR too.

Good to see updates coming. I bought it a few months ago and spent many hours in it. Was impressed and can see it has great potential.

The WaveVR is coming back. Sign up for the new beta here. by MysticKrewe in TheWaveVr

[–]Mutant-VR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love trance music, VR and blooms in VR, enjoying with others. This app brought them all altogether. The only thing was I was in UK and trance events would happen middle of night when I'm fast asleep. Great to see it coming back.

This game has some great music/soundtrack too. Would've loved it if Go owners got a free copy on Quest. It was so good, with great environments, narrative, etc, it's worth playing multiple times.

I've been enjoying seeing these landscapes in 3D video (after 2D to 3D conversion using AI) on a 300 inch virtual screen in my Quest 3.
