I own a Vive and a Rift, have toyed around with VR development, and build some VR stuff at work sometimes.
I haven't used VR in my home (or to play a game anywhere) in over a year. It's just a huge pain in the ass to set up, and I don't have a great spot to play in my apartment.
Once it's set up, the experience of being in VR is great. The controllers are good, and the hardware is great (other than the setup). There just aren't any games or other software I'm interested in playing.
I'm looking forward to Oculus Quest for helping with ease of use.
- andybak 8y ago> It's just a huge pain in the ass to set up The trick is to leave it set up ;-) But is it really that hard? I use a Rift in a hot-desking office and setting it up takes all of 30 seconds each time I move. The room setup doesn't need to be redone. I don't bother with the guardian boundary for front-facing cameras. I just plug in the USB+HDMI and I'm done.
- idlewan 8y agoMoving furniture around because you don't have a 3m x 3m space free all the time is tiring and a major pain point for me (I own a vive, I don't re-setup everytime though I do change the boundaries & optimal furniture placement sometimes)
- andybak 8y agoYou don't actually need 3m x 3m for many experiences/games. I work in much less space and only bother clearing space when I need it.
- wilg 8y agoI think the important thing is that it's hard enough that I don't use it.
