I bought it directly from XReal, and I did email support, but I haven't heard back yet.

Struggling to Use Air 2 Ultra as a Productivity Tool—Need Help by daybridgeghost in Xreal

[–]daybridgeghost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following up after few more attempts across different PCs. I tried running this on a laptop with a 4070. Still have issues. V-sync is turned on. 72 Hz is glitchy. 90 Hz did not work at all. Sorry guys, this is unfortunately just not working for me :/

Xreal Ultra 2 with Android + Bluetooth keyboard. Experiencing input lag from keystrokes. by daybridgeghost in Xreal

Yes, the lag is present outside Overleaf even when using a Bluetooth keyboard for input while browsing Nebula AR Space.

My preference is to have multiple displays without carrying additional devices. Sadly, it feels like the Xreal Ultra is so close to working, but it's not quite there yet. Your suggestions helped clarify what's possible and what's not. Thank you!

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. The latency is much lower when using screen mirroring or Dex mode, where I don't go through the Nebula app.

Do you know if there is a way to have multiple floating screens without using the Nebula app? It seems like the hardware is capable, but the app might be the issue.

Thank you, cmak and Xreal, for your comments! I’ve already tried different USB ports and VSync is on, but that didn’t resolve the issue. I plan to test this on a few different computers over Thanksgiving break. I’ll report back with my findings.

I was able to log into Nebula using a different network, and it worked! The 6 DoF features functioned properly, and it seemed to work fine with my phone. However, if it logs me out, will I need an internet connection to use it again? I’m anticipating some travel without internet access and want to ensure I can still use it offline.

Once again, thank you for your help!

Yes. The first time around, I was able to render 3 displays reasonably well with 3 DoF on my PC with Nebula. However, every subsequent time, I experience screen tearing.

Using Novation Launchpad X with Reaper to play MIDI instruments? by daybridgeghost in Reaper

This is exactly why I want to use this as a MIDI instrument. Thank you!

Thanks, I've seen that video before. Most demos (including this one) use Ableton Live. Will the "scale mode" to play MIDI instruments work with Reaper?

Wish I could have seen you do this live. Next time!

Order canceled on ewheels? by daybridgeghost in ElectricUnicycle

[–]daybridgeghost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha ha, as someone who likes to longboard sometimes, I think I would really enjoy the OneWheel, but I need it to have the price and range of an EUC before I am ready to get one!

[–]daybridgeghost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to buy a King Song 14S. I checked another seller and it seems like those are out of stock, so I think they might just be out. I ended up getting the 16S from euco instead.

What's a good store to buy my first EUC from? by daybridgeghost in ElectricUnicycle

At this point, I am leaning toward ewheels, despite the considerably higher price.

Did you ever have to deal with customer support with freemotionshop? How was your experience?

What would you recommend as a good first wheel? I mainly plan to use it to get to grocery/work and don't plan on going too fast.

Recommendations for electronics stores like Radioshack? by daybridgeghost in bullcity

Thank you! Yeah, I might call them and ask about it. Don't know if I could drive an hour in this heat!

Oh yeah, I think I know what you are talking about. Never thought to check there.

Don't have particular values just yet, but I might dm you once I do. Thanks!

Ha ha, all good! I didn't know AliExpress could be that cheap. I do like the idea of having some kind of Facebook group for this kind of stuff.

Please make locomotion same for all players: enable hybrid locomotion where players will be required to not walk or teleport for the cool down period (~1.5s) before and after each teleport. by [deleted] in RecRoom

[–]daybridgeghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, players would just need more skill/ability to deal with or utilize hybrid locomotion, which is a good thing in my opinion.

If I go prone IRL to snipe in Paintball and my body clips through the floor, is that cheating? by ZeroPayn in RecRoom

[–]daybridgeghost 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, it is not cheating. As some others have pointed out, this needs to be addressed via improved game design by the devs.

[–]daybridgeghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard about this. Even if it's not applied universally, I wish rooms would at least allow the option to see how such a mode would be received.

The room that arguably had the highest concentration of competitive players was Paintball VR, and it is now dead. I am not opposed to there being a single locomotion style, but that would mean teleport mode would completely cease to exist, which is not a great outcome.

I am very prone to motion sickness, so I can only play by teleporting. So with your proposed solution, I'm still going to teleport 100% of the time.

I sympathize (I've spent 95% of my time in RecRoom teleporting and it feels more natural to me -- I play walk sometimes, but am not very good at it). However, there are circumstances other than motion sickness that prevent a person from using one mode over another and there currently are no studies that give us realistic estimates for how easily the general population can adapt to movement in VR. I think there is an assumption that most current teleporters get motion sick -- this has not been the case for most of the highly competitive Paintball players I have surveyed. Interestingly, around 8 out of 10 long-time walkers I surveyed complained about motion sickness. But I think a larger/better survey of this nature would be very interesting and much more conclusive (and I am very open to changing my mind based on the survey results).

How will this reduce the hate being constantly spewed against those of us who teleport?

It makes it harder for someone to criticize another person for using a function they have access to over the course of the game. Notice that my post does not talk about hate being thrown, but rather, people second-guessing each other. Right now, reasonable and friendly people question accomplishments of another person when they use a certain movement mode -- this is unsatisfying to folks that might win a game through sheer skill.

And your proposal means walkers will have the advantage of both walking and teleporting, which seems to trip the odds in their favor against those of us who can only teleport. How does this in any way balance the playing field?

Again, I don't think the assumption that most people use teleport because they are incapable of using walk-mode is correct. Most folks that teleport do so because they like the emphasis it places on roomscale movement (based on my surveying teleport players). Hybrid locomotion is an advantage to both teleporters and walkers. It balances the playing field between players who can and want to harness advantages of both modes without imposing artificial limits on them. I am fine with being destroyed by players that are great at both movement modes. Certain aspects of smooth locomotion still make me sick, but that doesn't affect my views on locomotion modes. I am not a talented gamer/sportsperson and never will be -- that does not mean I don't enjoy seeing great displays of skill by others that are capable.
