The Oculus Quest still has serious flaws in screen resolution, input latency, and controller ergonomics. It’s literally painful for me to use it. I get eye strain, a headache, and sore thumbs.
VR is clearly useful but before it becomes mainstream it will have to have the hardware quality that we associate with Apple or at least BlackBerry (ie a high-quality input interface).
I hear the Valve Index is better but I haven’t tested it yet.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoTwo notes, of equal importance: 1. The Index is a lot better. The higher resolution and refresh rate make a big difference. The Oculus Quest has a refresh rate of only 72hz, which we've known for years isn't enough for lots of people. 2. Comfort is highly dependent on the software you play. A lot of VR enthusiasts have been pushing for less comfortable modes of play over the past few years (because it allows games to do more), which is great if that's what they like, but I worry it's turning off more susceptible individuals. Using a sufficiently powerful PC to play The Lab on an Index will not make anyone feel ill.
