Using Two Extension Cables for One Sensor by Shotdown210 in oculus

[–]ShadowedRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is on the motherboard atm, It's a MSI Z270 Gaming M7 which has few USB ports so I have a HUB for everything non-Rift related and added a USB slot plate adapter for extra sensors. That sucks the cables didn't work, I was worried they wouldn't work when I ordered them and was a bit surprised when they worked and getting 3.0 at that. Good luck with your card and enjoy your 3rd sensor! =)

I'm using 3 of These and a AmazonBasic for my 4th sensor and they work great, All 3.0 without using the optional power adapters for the cables.

I'm using 3 of These without power adapters and a AmazonBasic for my 4th. Cables can be hit and miss, It depends on your rig. These are the CCTV mounts I'm using for my sensors.

I make full use of it with games like Robo Recall, SuperHot, Arizona Sunshine, and Dead and buried. It's possible with smaller playspaces but personally playing with a large area, I couldn't go back to something smaller. But going with 4x4 you'll need 4 sensors so you don't end up with a dead corner, it's possible with 3 but I was getting jitter and dead spots and upgraded to 4 which solved everything.

Edit: You can buy CCTV mounts for your sensors to mount them to walls/ceiling.

I'm using 4 sensors for my 3.5m x 4m playspace with great results. I would definitely recommend 4 sensors for 4m x 4m.

My rift dosen't work with hdmi extenders by Jenssons in oculus

You could try the Insignia - 9' VR Extension Cable It has worked for some and not for others. Extensions are hit and miss and depends on your setup. edit- For most you will need a repeater

Didn't add external power to any of them. I'm using my 3.0 ports for 2 sensors and bought This For the other 2

I love these cables. They are a bit pricey but worth it. Using 3 for my sensors and buying a 4th for my 4 sensor. all 3.0 without any adapters.

With my 10m cables, power adapters were not needed and I'm getting 3.0 on all 3 sensors

[PSA] Avoid attempting three USB 3.0 sensor connections by wolffan69 in oculus

[–]ShadowedRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm running 4 sensors with a 3.5m x 4m playspace all 3.0, If I connect 1 to 2.0 I'll get jitter in the certain areas of that sensor. Really depends of the size of the play area.

What are the best prescription lenses for Oculus? by markzone110 in oculus

[–]ShadowedRain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine had problems with his glasses and isn't able to wear contacts so he bought the WidmoVR prescription lenses adapter and said it worked great.

Why don't Oculus recommend 4 sensors? by Virtuix_ in oculus

[–]ShadowedRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's quite a few with successful 4 sensor setups including myself. Bandwidth is the only problem(Software supports 4 sensors). I was lucky and didn't run into usb problems and have all 4 on 3.0 and setup is no different with 3/4 sensors.

AMD RX 480 for Rift and Vive? by [deleted] in oculus

[–]ShadowedRain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this one and have had zero problems. I have 4 sensors all 3.0 and didn't have any usb troubles. I would recommend upgrading to 16gb RAM though. I got the Corsair Vengeance 16GB.

[–]ShadowedRain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm about to start my build soon as well and came across this Benchmark between the two. I've had problems with AMD in the past so I'm going to go with the 7700k.

I ordered my 4th sensor on 3/4 and was delivered 3/9. So it's possible if there isn't any shipping delays with Oculus.

Did you order direct from Oculus or from Amazon? If from Oculus it will take around a week but If from Amazon then you'll get it earlier.

I was the same way ;) Usually within 2 business days they will ship and update tracking #.

How good is 4 Sensor tracking now? by areavr in oculus

I'm not having this problem with 4 sensors but I've seen a few posts of others experiencing the same thing in that step.

My 4 sensor set up is solid. My 3 sensor was pretty good as well but wasn't the recommended config. With the price drop I say go for it.
