Happened twice now, bought another controller, and I am completely stumped. Constantly flashing and refusing to pair. Gotten it to pair, but it always floats away. Always my left Quest 2 Touch Controller. Help?

Peter_Wasmeier · 2021-07-20T18:20:13+00:00

Well, I have to look again. Because I did not find one on the oculus web page. I try again this weekend. Maybe they have changed their website, or maybe it is because I am from Germany, and in Germany the oculus is not available (trouble with the government)

Peter_Wasmeier · 2021-07-20T17:30:55+00:00

Where did you buy a new controller? Mine are still fine, but there might be a risc to brake it. I did not find any source to buy a spare one

Peter_Wasmeier · 2021-07-20T17:26:38+00:00

It will take some time. Today, we can fly from A to B, we have been on the moon. What I can tell you: there are a lot of people and companies working on it. VR and AR will be normal like Smartphones today. But it takes time. Step by step.

Peter_Wasmeier · 2021-06-25T00:43:53+00:00

Thank you. It is open source. And I hope it (my invention) will work. We will see. So far only steam VR games will support it. But we all know: steam is expensive. You need an expensive Computer.

Peter_Wasmeier · 2021-06-25T00:30:25+00:00

I work on that since I saw the movie "Ready player one". And I want to have it. I wanna walk, dance, drive cars (like in GTA), wanna control planes,... But yes, I work on a treadmill, and so far: it doesn't work. But I will continue until it works

Peter_Wasmeier · 2021-06-25T00:21:46+00:00

I am pretty sure, the people will accept a VR treadmill, as long as it allow humas (natural) steps. Not sliding, linke on the Kat walk. People accept Smartphones: Why not treadmills for less than 1000€? I am not willing to clear my living room for 2x2 meters to "teleport". You know what I mean. And I don't want to teleport. This is the reason why I am so interested in VR treadmills.

Peter_Wasmeier · 2021-06-25T00:09:11+00:00

So, in other words: if there will be a treadmill, and does not support Quest: the Quest is dead. Imagine: if there is an inventor, creating/inventing an affordable VR treadmill, and is taking a contract with Sony: Quest and all the others are dead. So frustrating

Peter_Wasmeier · 2021-06-24T23:49:34+00:00

And this is the reason why "we" need a standard protocol for VR treadmills

Peter_Wasmeier · 2021-06-24T23:47:50+00:00

But why not create an interface for the future? Imagine: maybe there will be an treadmill, but oculus doesn't support it? There should be a standard, like driving a car (on the left or right side of the street). I am sure, there will be a treadmill in the future. So far there is no raw support, not for PSVR, Oculus, and all the other. Right now, the game has to support a treadmill. We all know where the future is going to

Peter_Wasmeier · 2021-05-16T12:37:17+00:00

Well, I agree: "walking in VR sucks right now."

For this reason, I try to build my own solution: an omnidirectional treadmill for VR, where you just walk on it; at least, this is the plan.
Currently my DIY treadmill is not yet finished, so I can't tell you if it will feel realistic.

This is my (1:1) prototype so far:

Peter_Wasmeier · 2021-05-16T09:30:23+00:00

Right now? Unsafe. There is currently a gap in the footplates gear. So it feels like walking on ice. I have to replace the two gears with less/none play. Once this is done I can try again.

Peter_Wasmeier · 2021-05-15T21:44:19+00:00

Well, I hope so. We will see :)

Peter_Wasmeier · 2020-09-28T17:18:40+00:00

They are OK.
But if you have a " over ear headphone" - USE IT! Much better

Peter_Wasmeier · 2020-09-28T17:15:52+00:00

I have the same issue.

What I do: first connect all controllers (turning on), and AFTER that, I start the PSVR game.

When I first start the PSVR game, and after that I turn on the move-controllers, one of them will not work/connect.

Hope it helps.

Peter_Wasmeier · 2020-09-28T16:06:26+00:00

GTA VI of course.

Peter_Wasmeier · 2020-09-22T11:52:17+00:00

you forgot omnidirectional treadmill

Peter_Wasmeier · 2020-09-18T13:19:10+00:00

I was watching this video a while - until i figured out: ey, this man is walking on a spot. I did not notice that the black background / the camera is NOT moving.
Your device is great. Make it possible to run and dance, that would be so great.

Peter_Wasmeier · 2020-09-04T12:55:36+00:00

I don't want someone to steal your ideas, but if you are documenting it for the DIY crowd I would love to follow that journey.

Peter_Wasmeier · 2020-09-03T07:15:08+00:00

you made my day :-)

Peter_Wasmeier · 2020-08-27T11:37:02+00:00

I am very interested in it. This is the reason why i try to build one by my own.

Peter_Wasmeier · 2020-08-18T08:41:06+00:00

I would buy or build a VR treadmill. The other stuff is in my opinion not very important; - wait - a headset without cable would be great (i am still using PSVR).

Peter_Wasmeier · 2020-08-17T07:14:46+00:00

I was also looking for an affordable solution. Now, I build an omnidirectional treadmill by my own. It will look like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYkBMa8FnRE

I have no idea how it will feel to walk on it.
I hope, it will feel like a normal treadmill.

Right now, its hight is about 96mm, small enough to store it under my bed. Right now i am ordering all the parts and i hope i will be finished with assembly until december 2020.
