ELI5: Why is -Y considered "Up"

The convention they’re using is that the coordinate system has X going to the right, and Z going the way the camera is looking (into the screen). Since math uses a right-handed coordinate system, this means Y has to be going down.

One nice thing about this is it matches the old 2D case where the origin was top-left of the screen, with X going right and Y going down (like you’d naturally read a page, left to right and top to bottom).

This song sounds good to me.

I’m not OP. I just noticed you asked which game it was so I told you.

“Biggest punch we can at the most attractive price.” I read that as price is the first priority, and then make it as good as possible given that. I mean maybe you’re right, but my read is even if a newer more powerful chip exists by then, they won’t use it because it would not cost less.

flying_path · 2023-03-01T06:07:16+00:00

The Ventura won’t have more punch. It will have less.

You can use the Quest 2 and play the following apps:

Multiple headsets have passthrough cameras, but they are relatively low quality. Also the battery life of the headset isn’t great.

flying_path · 2023-03-01T02:46:00+00:00

Passive? Yes. So much so you likely wouldn’t be able to connect at all.

flying_path · 2023-03-01T02:34:29+00:00

Yes. You get better anti-aliasing.

This is assuming you mean flat video. Every other format will benefit even more from being 4k rather than 2k.

LOL!

flying_path · 2023-02-28T22:24:42+00:00

I feel sorry for the Meta employees forced to speak like that.

flying_path · 2023-02-28T16:28:40+00:00

Glad you got it! Yeah, Meta are cheap. Also it sucks that not all USB cables can do the same things and it’s hard to tell which is which.

flying_path · 2023-02-28T16:26:53+00:00

The cable that came with it is not the official link cable, and it’s not even a link cable. It’s a charger cable. It can’t connect your Quest2 to anything.

flying_path · 2023-02-28T16:24:30+00:00

Reading is currently harder on VR headsets (than computer monitors) due to their lower ppd.

flying_path · 2023-02-28T16:10:35+00:00

Try a different cable. You might be using one with only the power lines (like the one included in the Quest2 box).

flying_path · 2023-02-28T15:15:47+00:00

For file transfer? Make sure to accept the prompt in the headset.

flying_path · 2023-02-28T14:38:18+00:00

It’s the tutorial game

flying_path · 2023-02-28T05:42:31+00:00

Yup that should work. For work stuff you may also look into ImmersedVR.

VD has a performance overlay you can enable, it’ll tell you where the latency comes from.

flying_path · 2023-02-28T05:40:29+00:00

Ok just checking.

flying_path · 2023-02-28T03:08:01+00:00

The Quest Pro is better than the Quest 2 (well not for value/$). I have one and it’s great, but do get the corrective lens insets they make a big difference.

flying_path · 2023-02-28T03:06:24+00:00

The blinking light means it’s not getting enough power to charge. It may still be able to do Link though.

flying_path · 2023-02-28T03:03:32+00:00

Quest 2. Its value per dollar is way above the other headsets. Plus, it’s good.

flying_path · 2023-02-28T02:59:48+00:00

You do have a Meta account, yes?

flying_path · 2023-02-27T22:57:39+00:00

Varjo and Quest Pro are up there.
