No. And I sold all the VR devices I had over time rather quickly again. Once the novelty wears off, they just became supremely impractical. For gaming it required the shuffling of furniture. For anything else, neither the resolution nor comfort are there. Even worse if you wear glasses. And in the summer time... think diving goggles, only inverted.
- Macha 4y agoIf you do require glasses for VR, for anyone who wants to stick with it, I strongly recommend getting prescription lenses for your headset. The most common form is just another lens that clips on top of the VR lens so it's not something that will require disassembling your expensive VR headset. This solves the fogging up problem in my experience, along with light leak from thicker arms on glasses pushing foam covers away, scratches on lens from glass/headset contact and also the fact that I broke a pair of glasses wearing them inside a VR headset.

- Macha 4y agoFair, I've my own reasons for not wearing contacts
- dogma1138 4y agoIs anyone actually making those? A Google search doesn’t come up with anything you can buy…
- Macha 4y agohttps://vr-lens-lab.com/ https://vr-lens-lab.com/ is where I got mine.
- noir_lord 4y ago> For gaming it required the shuffling of furniture. Depends on the type of game, I play flight sims, elite dangerous, no mans sky and project cars 2 - no need to shuffle furniture with those.
- koheripbal 4y agoThere are actually no quality games that really require you to stand. I have a dream that we'll see a good quality dungeon crawler I can play coop locally with the kids, that's immersive enough to warrant standing, but I don't see it happening.
- bayofpigs 4y agoHaha, no. Half Life Alyx, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, Thrill of the Fight, Beat Saber, Audica, Dance Central VR, Fallout 4 VR, Superhot VR, and so many more.
- noir_lord 4y agoHonestly that's true, the closest I've found is PavlovVR which is a lot of fun but it's not an AAA quality game. That said as someone who loves space/flight and driving games VR is an unalloyed win for me.
- Macha 4y agoBeat Saber?
- Krssst 4y agoThere is also VTOL VR which is a flight sim/game that uses the VR controllers and put all controls in the VR space so no need to have an HOTAS lying around. For other sims I have to set up the HOTAS on my desk which leads to a little bit of shuffling around.
