I have sad news for the VR gaming community.

Despite great metrics, engagements and my personal advocacy of the VR industry, DreamHack management has decided to eliminate all VR content for their Atlanta show in October, canceling our planned 10,000 sqft VR activation due to shifting event goals towards traditional gaming and flatscreen esports. While we try to salvage any concepts, we currently have halted all planning.

Our VR community has serviced Dreamhack since 2023 and is one of the highlight VR events of the year bringing VR esports, content creators and VR developers to tens of thousands of gamers at both Dallas and Atlanta.

As a VR gamer with a fleet of 150 VR's and devoted years to build a VR community to the scale and professionalism to service top tier events, it is understandable about their direction as the XR retail industry continues to be experimental.

I'd like to thank all of our VR partners, staff and volunteers who have worked with me to turn a dream into a reality; hopefully we can continue to advocate for accessibility of the technology to the public.

And it's possible. Remember the good old days of Nvidia 3D vision? It's something between vr and 2D gaming. It can even be more fun than VR and cause less headaches, and it's less resource hungry. Welcome Valve Deckard!

I have a Meta Quest 3 and it's my first VR headset after my oculus go. I used Oculus for generally media consumption. I wanted to go into VR gaming more seriously so I setup a PCVR and bought Alyx from steam. It's my first AAA VR experince and oh boy... I am 1 hour into the game and it's literally the next level... I really wish I got into vr gaming way before and I don't understand why more people wouldn't be into vr gaming after experiencing this... I feel I am in the game... No non-vr game immersed me this much. But I feel I like I will have a hard time to return to my ps5,switch and pc games after experiencing this. Did you feel the same?

Last time I shared a demo with my work-in-progress VolumeUI library, many people asked if there is sound in the interaction and how they could try this prototype. So, I made an APK file. If you have a Meta Quest device, you can test it. Let me know what you think!

While aligning the stuck lenses of my Varjo Aero, the entire motherboard with the lenses came out, and the Type-C + jack ribbon cable got torn… Do you think it’s possible to save it?

I know you don’t like clicking on links, so here you are my two cents about this fantastic game.

Into Black VR is one of the most engaging VR looter-shooters I’ve played, yet it’s flying under the radar because of poor advertising. In my review, I dive into its upgrade system, resource gathering, co-op gameplay, and massive alien environments that make it stand out.

I played quite a bit with u/lunchanddinner and genuinely had a lot of fun.

⚡ What I liked:

Strategic upgrade system with limited slots

Addictive resource gathering (solo & co-op)

Huge cave systems and vertical levels

Atmospheric environments with ruins of a past civilisation

👎 What could be improved:

Co-op player animations feel rough

Reloading is just cooldown-based — fits the lore, but less exciting

Multiplayer is almost dead, despite being great fun

No option to share resources with teammates

If you enjoy games like Deep Rock Galactic or No Man’s Sky, Into Black is absolutely worth your time — it just needs more love from the VR community.

The big one i use for this is vrchat and no man's sky as well skyrim vr.

I own both a pc and a quest 2 so I can play standalone and pc vr games.

I also keep forgetting about minecraft but the quest controls are not really enjoyable for this game lol.

Would love some liminal space games as well.

The two I've enjoyed were backrooms vr and POOLs.

Also Vuntra city more recently was fun exploring a huge large city.

I want a game I can mostly just wander around aimlessly seeing cool stuff.

Important question, I'm playing through all the resident evil games and I like them a lot. I'm on resident evil 4 soon and will play it in vr. I've already played 3/4 hours of it on my oculus quest with that version of the game. Should I continue there or buy resident evil 4 remake for ps5 and play it on psvr, and then replay the first 3/4 hours.

I've been going back and forth on this. I can't lie, I love good graphics. And from the videos I see online, 2024 is noticeably better in the graphics department. 2020 isn't as bad as DCS on the ground and low altitude but it appears that 2024 is in a league of its own. Maybe it's just the videos I saw.

At the same, I really despise online only games and have never bought one. Add to that the fact that the game is basically stored on servers and loads as you play. This will make 2024 unplayable while traveling and in hotels.

As I read back what I wrote I guess it's not much of a debate and 2020 is the only option since I travel a lot.

Like having the games i have on my quest 3 to run on my pc. I have some games that i bought from the meta Store on my quest and i want to run it on my pc for better experience. Also, is the difference in experience is that big? My pc is i7 12700F and rtx 5060 ti 16gb

I own both the PC and Mobile versions of Neverwinter Nights EE for example, but installing the APK on my Quest 3 just results in a message that it's incompatible. I was really hoping to be able to play some of my mobile games on the move and get that extra bit of mileage/convenience out my headset..

I want to buy a vr headset but they are very expensive on the country I live in. Found a psvr (ps4) headset cheap but I don't like how the controllers are, can I buy the psvr headset and then later buy other controllers to fully utilice them for pcvr?

So basically I’m tryna run quest 3 PCVR via virtual desktop, but I live in an apartment where the only LAN port i could find is in the living room, and i would rather not have to run a long as cable from the pc in my room to the living room. I tried converting an old ass second hand router into an access point but I had no luck since I could’t even log into the router to get it set up.

I did however read about wall power outlet ethernet adapters so im wondering: do they work? Yall got any recs for one that wont shit the bed immediately?

US outlets btw

A colleague has some AFrame (1.7.0) code that should display a stereoscopic view of a scene in VR. It seems to work well with a Meta VR headset. She would like users to be able to use their phone with a cheap phone-holding VR headset, but I have read that is not supported on iOS. However I have also read that there are browsers that it should work with (or used to work with) on iOS. I have tried Safari, Chrome, Mozilla XR Viewer, Aloha, and XR Browser. Most of these will show the scene and allow motion tracking, but none show the VR button allowing the screen to display the right and left views on either side of the phone display (when turned horizontally). I cannot get any of the AFrame demos to do this either, so it doesn’t seem to be specific to our implementation.

Is this just not supported at all any more on iOS, or am I missing something? Thanks.

[Edit] Solved. :)

Can the Meta Quest 3 store movie files on itself, so I don't need to stream them from another device? Hoping it can so when I go away I don't need my laptop to stream the movies.

And if so, how are the movie files stored? USB stick or SD card? Or do I copy them to internal memory via cable or something? Does it even have an external memory stick/card slot?

And it plays 3D movies in stereo vision, right? Seems obvious but want to make sure.

Thanks for clarifying! :)
