I wish there were more good VR experiences I could do from the couch. When I’m tired and want to relax, it turns out sitting and putting my feet up is a pretty important part of what I’m looking for.
- nostalgk 7y agoHave you tried Elite Dangerous? It's totally playable from the chair.
- cr0sh 7y agoI wonder how that game would be to play it relaxing in a "zero-g" recliner/lounge chair? Have you ever heard of the company Flogiston - and the Flogiston Flostation? https://www.techbriefs.com/component/content/article/tb/techbriefs/electronics-and-computers/1508 https://www.techbriefs.com/component/content/article/tb/tech... https://spinoff.nasa.gov/spinoff1998/ch5.htm https://spinoff.nasa.gov/spinoff1998/ch5.htm You can find some more pictures and stuff with google - the company no longer exists, and I don't know if any of the prototypes or such are still around; if they are, they are probably "unobtainium". But anyhow, part of the system was a particular style of "zero gravity" posture chair, as you can see from the pictures and such. So playing Elite Dangerous in an HMD from a similar chair might be an interesting experience...
- filoleg 7y agoAgreed. Even just for straight up standing experiences, a lot of them involve way too much movement for someone living in a cramped apt. Playing Superhot VR recently, my friend accidentally broke my drinking glasses on the counter :( It would be nice to be able to just sit down and relax in VR while playing a game.
