What is your budget and desired ecosystem?
The Valve Index is (imo) the highest quality VR headset right now in terms of fidelity and comfort and tracking, but is also one of the most expensive and hardest to set up.
The Quest 2 on the other hand is exceedingly affordable, is portable, and can be run standalone, all of which are very very cool. But then you take the Meta plunge.
- Loughla 3y agoBudget is anywhere from $0-$700 (or so), and I would like to avoid anything with facebook.
- mrguyorama 3y agoThese two requirements are basically incompatible. Buy a used vive on ebay and start there maybe.
- asynchronous 3y agoYeah that’s a really weird price range. I’d say go up and buy an Index if possible, or go down and buy a Quest with a fake facebook account. The pimax is an option but it’s above that range.
- Loughla 3y agoI picked an arbitrary number. Let's say up to $1500. How about that?
- mrguyorama 3y agoGetting closer. Get really thrifty with a computer build (Buy a used 3600 processor for cheap and an old GPU, like a 5700xt or equivalent), buy a brand new Index, and enjoy.
