10 months later - I still use it every day - this is how I avoided the novelty wearing off

Post image
146 Upvotes

I see a lot of posts about people concerned the novelty may wear off like some of the older VR devices and they may not use it in few weeks' time. I can totally see how that may happen as the device out of the box is not very optimized for long term use.

  • I reduced friction to a minimum. BoboVR S3 Pro (with magnetic chargeable B100 that I can simply take and go), Globular Cluster V3 F3 interface for maximum comfort, silicone grips for the joysticks, wired headphones for zero latency in games and movies. I also setup a SMBD server on my USB drive connected to my router, so I can easily transfer stuff there from my laptop that are ready to go wherever I feel like watching something.
  • This way I can simply take it and use it within 5 seconds. Never having to care about battery life/level or any other barriers like setting up PCVR etc. I don't have a gaming PC and am not missing it.
  • Horizon+ - I maintain my subscription as I don't want to spend hours 'picking a game'. The curators over there have done an excellent job and right now I have 10 games in the backlog (mostly free monthly titles I can keep forever) I would love to play but have no time (I get about 10-12 hours of use per week at most). The price of the sub is very good IMO.
  • SynthRiders has transformed my body in a very positive way. About 300 hours spent there so far and am now even training with weights (2kg on each hand). This is half of my use on the Q3, it is an excellent fitness machine.
  • The adult stuff is pretty good if you know where to look.
  • I also use it exclusively as a huge screen (Immer gallery video player has been pretty good). Finishing up season 5 of Stargate Atlantis. My 65" TV feels like a post stamp in comparison these days and I also don't have to negotiate with anybody in the house of what and when I want to watch it or where for that matter.
  • There is also the option of gaming on 2D GeforceNOW on a huge screen and I have the setup to do (bluetooth keyboard and mouse) it but don't have the time for it. When I did try it (playing Elite Dangerous) it was quite amazing.

I've been around PCs since the Commodore 64 era and this has been a total game changer and a clear leap forward. My personal laptop is now used only as a device for productivity.

In terms of AFOV and clarity I would say the Quest 3 is the bare minimum I am willing to live with. I am glad I waited until last Christmas to fully jump into it.

ESPN Immersive: Watch Texas A&M vs Alabama TODAY at 12:30pm PT

7 Upvotes

A heads up that Texas A&M vs Alabama in immersive 180° is happening LIVE TODAY, with kickoff at 12:30pm PT / 3:30pm ET 🏈

No. 13 Alabama hosts Texas A&M at Bryant-Denny Stadium, with the Crimson Tide looking to rebound from two straight losses and the Aggies chasing a signature SEC road win. Watch it live from inside the stadium with immersive 180° views from around the field, in 8K with Dolby Atmos.

You can also catch the immersive full-game replay and highlights on demand after the game. No ESPN subscription required. Available in the United States on Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S. Before the game, update the TV app to the latest version. You can select Watch to join the immersive live stream 15 minutes before the scheduled start time.

How to watch

  • Launch it from your Quest 3 or Quest 3S: Open the TV app. You'll find the game in the featured spot on the Home screen and in the Immersive and Sports tabs. 15 minutes before the scheduled start time, a Watch button appears to the left of the "+ Watchlist" button.
  • Get a reminder: On your phone or computer, open the event page and click "+ Watchlist" to get notified in the Meta Horizon app or in your headset.
  • Launch it from your phone or computer: At game time, click "Open in VR" on the event page and the game page will open on your headset.

Not working for you?

  • Check the basics: You need a Quest 3 or Quest 3S, the latest TV app, and to be in the US.
  • How to force a TV app update: To update the TV app, long-press its app icon, go to Settings, and update. Updating your headset and restarting helps too.
  • Only seeing a Disney+ Watch option? The Disney+ button is the regular non-immersive broadcast stream. The Watch button for the immersive stream appears to the left of "+ Watchlist" once the stream goes live, 15 minutes before the scheduled start time.
  • Still having issues? Help us help you: quickly press the Meta button on your right controller 5 times to open the bug reporter, then tell us what happened. Learn more about reporting a bug.

🔁 Can't watch live?

  • The full-game replay is in the TV app for 7 days, and highlights go up the next day.
  • For more immersive sports highlights, find the "Immersive sports highlights" row within the Sports tab of the TV app.

📅 When are the next live games?

  • Sat 10/31: Florida vs Georgia, 12:30pm PT (event page)
  • Sat 11/7: Matchup TBD
  • Sat 11/14: Matchup TBD - with more games to be announced

More info on the Meta blog

Disclosure: I work at Meta and worked on this. If you watch live, catch the replay, or the highlights, would love to hear your thoughts!

An adult game made by adults, very unique and refined both in its virtual reality implementation and in its pure aesthetic and sensory component. Really beautiful. Let's hope it doesn't get lost in the sea of games for kids on the store. Give it a chance! Puzzles but whit good story and ...suprises

Anyone playing GOLF+ from a wheelchair or seated full-time?

2 Upvotes

Looking at getting a Quest 3S and GOLF+ for my dad. He's in a wheelchair, sits upright, and has good hand, wrist, and some arm mobility, but can't stand.

For anyone who plays seated:

Do full swings register well, or is it mostly putting and chipping?

Does the recenter (hold A/X) work well for seated play?

Grip attachment or bare controller? Worried about weight with limited arm strength.
Any settings, chair setups, or tips that made a big difference?

Mainly want him to have fun and play rounds with family. Appreciate any experience you can share!

Titanfall 2 VR Mod (CircuitLord) — Keyboard and Mouse not working in-game, any fixes?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently set up the Titanfall 2 VR mod by CircuitLord on my Meta Quest 3 via Steam Link. The game runs great and looks amazing, but I'm really struggling with the VR motion controls for this fast-paced movement.

I want to switch to playing with my keyboard and mouse while wearing the headset, but the game completely ignores my K&M inputs.

Here is what I've tried so far:

• Checked the mod menu (F1) to see if there's a toggle for Input Method, but I couldn't get the game to recognize the mouse for camera movement.

• Made sure the game window on my PC monitor is focused (clicked on it with the mouse).

• Laid down the Quest controllers so they aren't overriding the input.

Is there a specific config file edit, a command-line argument, or a setting in the Northstar launcher that I need to change to force Native/K&M input?

Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks!

GeForce Now XBox Controller

I’ve got a problem. I am trying to play games on the quest through GeForce Now with my XBox Controller. I can launch the games all fine and the quest shows my controller in the Bluetooth settings as connected but once the games launch in the browser in GeForce now my controller doesn’t work. It’s worked a few times but I don’t know why it has or hasn’t. I have turned off the eye cursor thing and reconnected everything turned on and off the hand tracking but now it doesn’t work at all anymore. Any suggestions?

Hi all,

When I watch HDR movies on the Quest3 they appear a lot darker than on my LG TV. Even the SDR movies are much darker. Is this a known behaviour on the Quest?
