Oculus quest

Except for custom tracks that mislabel the difficulty, basically anything Expert+ for me = NO CHANCE

It turns out you can link your Quest to your VR ready PC and get the best of both worlds now. Has anybody tried this with Polybius? Or Moose Life?

Yes, works a treat. Best to get a good USB 3 cable, but I believe it nows works with the supplied USB 2 cable too.

If you have a good router near your PC then Virtual Desktop will allow you to do it wirelessly. It is a bit more of a faff as you need to buy VD, and sideload/configure some stuff. But the results can be awesome and well worth a try. Works with the Steam, Vive and Oculus stores.

Go back a few posts, it was discussed a little bit in this thread and I linked to a video,

Bump = Big news or not?

One of the key barriers to adopting Meta’s excellent Quest 2 virtual reality headset has been the Facebook account requirement. That changes today.

Meta is rolling out Meta accounts and Horizon profiles from today, meaning there’s no longer a need to link a Facebook account in order to enjoy VR experiences.

Yeah, well, I'm sure it's still hoovering the shit out of your personal data. Sure, it's a little better than the alternative.

The requirement to have a Facebook account was pretty much the only serious downside to having a Quest so the idea that they're officially separating this in the same way they do with Insta is great news.

Obvs doesn't mean they're not going to mine the fuck out of things. Hell, with the gamble Meta are placing on VR they'd be negligent if they didn't.

I got my email explaining how to convert my (shell, unused) FB account into a Meta one. I have a few purchases in the Oculus store so I'll be following the steps carefully before deleting the FB presence.

Yep, I made one up too, so will be transitioning carefully.

Can't lose Walkabout golf, the lockdown weekly facetime with the lads is morphing into a chat on the golf course. Wonderful. (we need one more person to by a quest to make the full switch).

For those of us old enough to be working on an Oculus accoun only, we've been locked out of the Oculus App.
You need to use FB / Instagram / Meta login to access it now.
Looks like you can still use the website too, after a few create a meta account dialog skips.

Haha, Walkabout Mini Golf has been a killer app here too. Any demo of VR I've given folks has always been "wow that's cool" but no-one has expressed an interest in buying one for themselves. Walkabout, though, has converted a few and I can see it landing under a few Xmas trees this year :-)

I have only an Oculus account and that is still working fine, logged into the app just now to check.
Meta have stated I can keep using the Oculus account and app until 01 Jan 2023 and only after that date will I need a Meta account.

iOS or Android ? There's no option for Oculus on the IOS App, just FB, Instagram and emai it I use my email I used for the Oculus account I get a "Something went wrong" message and get instructed to set up a meta account.

So at least 800 dollars for the new one Project Cambria VR headset which debuts in October I see....

OK, that ties in with the forecasts of the PSVR2 being ~£600. FWIW I think it's utterly insane that Sony might be about to release an accessory that costs more than the core machine but hey, what do I know?

Is this the cyberpunk future of unequal technology distribution we were promised, except I'm on the wrong side of the divide?

It's cool. Us peasants will just have to use our l33t haxx0r skills (and also skill with scissors and paper glue) to soup up some cheap black-market LABO cardboard headsets, use them to "jack in" and pull off a daring raid on the biggest polygonal pyramid in the financial sector (in which a less popular character will probably get brain-burnt and not make it out alive), then use those MegaCreds(TM) to buy the expensive gear, so we can play the bio-feedback enabled Assassin's Crud 48.
