You can grab a Samsung VR for very cheap, put a phone on it and do VirtualDesktop magic, but you are still gonna struggle without controllers. Same for Google Cardboard and other similar projects.
There's some very cheap controllers you can get, with base stations for tracking like the Nolo-Home, but they are still quite behind the tracking precision and latency of some "top-of-the-shelf" headsets.
It's an interesting idea and I hope the developments on it go forward, specially since the recent Facebook/Oculus announcement.

- nimazeighami 6y agoThere are many great SteamVR games that support mouse and keyboard or an XBOX controller. Trover Saves the Universe is one of them. I don't think the lack of controller tracking is a deal-breaker for those who want to get an open source VR experience.
- skykooler 6y agoThis has gotten me wondering whether there are any DIY projects for Lighthouse-compatible controllers?
