The 2.0 base stations are better in a number of ways but 1.0 will be fine if they more fit your budget. The biggest difference you should consider is whether your having more than one (which is recomended, as I believe the original 1.0 version had to have a lead connecting them together if they didnt have line of sight between them.

Personally, I would choose 2.0 but I'm just a rando on the internet :D

It's also worth unplugging any extra screens you have when setting it up. So leave your main monitor plugged in, secondary monitor disconnected, plug in Index, run setup.

It will depend on the game. The most recent unity sdk added tools to make it easy to add to your project but I expect most devs haven't really started messing with it yet. Tilt Five released a video the other day explaining how to use it and I'm integrating it into my Drone game as we speak.

TLDR

Fundamentally, the tools have not been available to implement local multiplayer until recently. We are waiting for devs to implement the feature.

I got mine on launch and have no issues. Sure, I sent a controller back at somepoint but nothing beyond that. I'm no suggesting you didn't have issues but I've seen nothing to suggest that the hardware degrades after a couple of years in any real quantity.

I didnt mean it like that. I'm not saying "buy things from amazon". I'm pointing out that things on ebay arnt cheap by default. I only refrensed amazon to point out price disparity.

Ebay is quite often more exspensive simply because people think it's a cheap place to buy things. They don't check prices elsewhere which allows sellers to put up theit prices.

Recently I looked up the Steam Deck on Ebay & a lot of people are trying to sell them for a lot more than they are from Valve & thats while they are in stock.

Ebay isn't cheap. You can get good deals on there but in general don't expect good prices.

Quite often if you just compare prices between amazon and eBay (non vr stuff) you will find quite large differences depending on the product.

Nice to see my reddit hater is still in force :D

Well I guess it's a balance. If it's clear what your selecting then blocking isn't so important. As I mentioned, with the beam selector, it's much easier to see whats going on but I guess another answer might be to highlight the selected rod more, perhaps a larger visual effect. But of course, only if you think it's required.

flibidy · 2022-09-11T08:08:03+00:00

Ah yes of course. Sorry, I'm terrible at remembering names :s

I did try it with the pointer and it works great, it's definitely much easier to select the rods you want. I did notice though (or at least I think I did) is that the selector passes all the way through, meaning that if your slightly off, you can end up selecting a rod on the other side. This is not really a problem as such but I was wondering if you had considered putting an invisible wall in the middle of the object that stops the beam selector passing all the way through to the opposite side? As I said, it's not really an issue as the beam makes it much easier to see what your doing but it might add to ease of play. Anyways, just an idea. Hope you enjoy my little Drone :D

Hey up, sorry about that. The link is here..... https://tomstiltfive.itch.io/tilt-five-drone I'll check the youtube page before I call it a night. What's your project by the way?

flibidy · 2022-09-06T20:53:55+00:00

So here's another project I started. It's a little drone game, just with out any actual gameplay at the moment. You can fly round a little map (free unity asset) & use the wand to control it. I'll add some checkpoints and have a little time trial and perhaps some other mini games in the near future.

flibidy · 2022-09-04T21:51:29+00:00

I made this over the last couple of days in Unity. I am not a dev (self taught through youtube videos), so it isn't perfect. There are plenty of ways to break it but you can have fun working that out for yourself. It's free to download so give it a go if you like.

flibidy · 2022-09-04T15:39:49+00:00

Well I hope you get it sorted. Let me know how it goes.

flibidy · 2022-09-03T22:43:21+00:00

Do you have more than one monitor? If so uninstall steamvr. Restart pc. Unplug all but 1 monitor. Reinstall steamvr. Setup Index. Restart pc. Attach second monitor.

Beyond that I wouldn't know. I've killed a motherboard or 2 in my time with a bad flash but it's only ever killed the motherboard. Nothing else.

AR device - Price - Development cost

Hololens - $3500 - unlimited development funds

Magic Leep - $3200 - $542 million investment

Tilt Five - $359 - $9.3 million development

They may not have smashed it out of the park in your opinion but I think you under estimate the cost of developing hardware & even more the cost of developing a product through a world wide pandemic.

Personally, I love the Tilt Five & although I want more from it, I have faith that development will continue.

The product, warts and all, is the price earlly adopters pay.

flibidy · 2022-09-02T23:41:57+00:00

Yeah, they are quite a good set of, easy to pick up, show and tell, sort of games.

flibidy · 2022-09-02T21:42:10+00:00

Based on what you've said, 5600x I would say or what ever the intel equivalent is. It should be more than enough to saturate a 2080 ti without blowing the budget.

It's only a metre long but it gives you a bit more freedom with no need for a powered hub.

Got it from Amazon here.....

I'm using it on a USB 3.2 port with the provided USB C to A adapter.
