Which is why I tend to use my Quest 2, and now Quest Pro using Oculus Link for Sim Racing - it's a game changer, and very sticky.
For untethered, I tend to stick to fitness apps, which is a surprisingly fun way of staying in shape, and beats the boredom of the gym.
- brainbag 3y agoWhat are your favorite fitness apps?
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoNot parent, but I mostly stick to FitXR and BeatSaber. I wanted to give supernatural a try, but the whole give up a credit card in the app when the headset already has one is too shady. I haven’t tried as many as I wanted to (like the bullet one) since I’m pretty happy with my routine.
- philjohn 3y agoYep - beat saber is a surprisingly good cardio workout, especially some of the tracks where you're having to squat lots.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI use it for warm up and cool down. I get my main cardio from FitXR, but if I’m just not feeling it beatsaber is easy to get into for some sweat at least.
- chaostheory 3y agoTotally agree about FitXR and beat saber. I tried Supernatural for a few months. It’s good if you want an instructor led workout and it looks great, but I could not justify the monthly sub Other great workout apps are synth riders, punch fit, ninja legends, creed, until you fall, pistol whip, gorilla tag, and there’s more. You’d be surprised to see what makes you sweat
- denimnerd42 3y agohow much does sim racing cost to get into with the quest pro?
- chaostheory 3y agoI was able to get a Quest Pro on eBay for $800. Honestly, a Quest 2 is more than good enough to start. You’ll probably be able to pick up one used for less than $200 with the quest 3 announcement If you want more immersion though, you probably want a wheel set for about $300 and a VR ready PC which ranges from $1200 - $2000 depending on sales and assuming you’re going for midrange. It is game changing though.
- denimnerd42 3y agowhat community is good? reddit?
- chaostheory 3y agoYeah, it has multiple sub reddits
- philjohn 3y agoYou'll want a somewhat decent GPU (doesn't need to be a 4090 by any stretch, iRacing is pretty good at running on most things). When it comes to wheel and pedals you can go cheap and all in one, like the Logitech ones, or push the boat out a bit more like I did with Fanatec gear. Then there's crazy expensive stuff like Heusinkveld.
