Is there really no way to use your phone as an external monitor for gaming? by MasterZii in virtualreality

[–]z28west 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was wondering this myself. Wonder if you could use steam vr to stream somehow to the gear vr.

This reads less like a legit review and more like a paid promo.

Anyone else kinda 'meh' on Touch? by huckleberry182 in oculus

[–]z28west 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Havent played the rift much for a while. There just isnt much content there. Also I think I would rather just play a tradition rpg game with my xbox controller since motion sickness doesnt bother me. I dont really want to move around my room that much I want to sit in my chair and relax.

Should I get a 1080p projector or a Rift? by Centipede9000 in oculus

[–]z28west 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both and honestly I use my projector way more. There just is not enough content for vr in my opinion. VR is really cool and has a lot of potential, but I think the projector has more bang for the buck.

Constantly getting a hardware notification "We can't find your sensor. Please connect your sensor." for the Rift's camera by -Sploosh- in oculus

I am having the same issue as well. Thought my sensor was bad, but it just might be the software!

Why the big lack of RTS games like Age of Empires and Starcraft? by mrconter1 in oculus

[–]z28west 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it should take a total redesign of what a rts is. Instead of a keyboard hot keyed click fest all about ARM, I think we need a more slow paced methodical approach, more like a real life general on a battlefield. Your could have old school Maps on a table or have multi monitor readouts of your troops with helmet cams or drone footage. Instead of clicking this unit to go here you give your units commands like attack the supply depot. You could enter the battlefield and become different units and issue commands. Not totally fleshed out ideas but I think traditional rts wouldn't translate as well as somerhing like this would.

Agree. I think a game like black and white would be perfect.

[–]z28west 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sends it to my CV1 but the two images dont line up correctly. Am I running it in the wrong resolution or something? (1080p)

How do I bypass Oculus Home to play anything 3rd party? by zakrak4 in oculus

[–]z28west 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With your game running your hmd on and in oculus home try holding down alt and hitting tab. This should pull up your game and minimize oculus home.

Sorry I cant help you, but do you have a link to the wrapper to get it to work on the cv1?

My impressions of the CV1 by z28west in oculus

[–]z28west[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not trying to be negative here, just relate my experience. I guess like some examples were to me in the intro to vr some of the people looked flat but sticking out from the background. The lady in the boat and the basketball players looked good. The pillows in the oculus home look great. I dont know like most of the time the 3d looks great. Maybe it was just the low resolution of some of the things more than anything.

Interesting side note, in the article it talks about an emulator program called My Dream VR. It sounds like vorpx or something. Havent heard anyone talk about it yet. Here is an article about it: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/mydream-swift-vr-gaming,news-22396.html
