The don‘t seem to understand that announcing games when they’re very far from ready isn’t a good idea, half of what they tease never sees the light of day.

Really enjoyed that game on Quest. The movement feels nice, it has some interesting levels and gameplay (including bosses), and has a nice length as well. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Yeah, but both for a regular chair that rotates and this one that shouldn’t be the issue, since you’re actually turning. I think I initially got sick because of the "walking forward in game and swiveling around in real live".

It definitely looks like an interesting idea, but yeah it could be really bad. Perhaps it does work though, in that case it‘s mix of sitting and physically turning. I guess we’ll see

Not entirely sure if this helps with motion sickness or makes it worse. When I first started playing VR I was too exhausted to keep standing and used a rotating chair for a bit, which pretty much instantly made me sick.

That was basically the only time I got sick, I don’t have an issue with loopings, flying, etc. Could just be that I wasn’t as used to it yet though.

Archiact, best known for developing Journey to Foundation and Doom 3: VR Edition, will close in two weeks. […]

Archiact's closure isn't the only notable VR studio we've seen shutting down recently. Following previous layoffs last year alongside Onward studio Downpour Interactive, Meta closed Ready At Dawn last week after acquiring the Lone Echo studio back in 2020. The move followed recent reports that its Reality Labs AR/VR division has been ordered to cut spending by 20%.

“We’re aware of reports that access to Signal has been blocked in some countries,” Signal says. If you are affected by the blocks, the company recommends turning on its censorship circumvention feature. (NetBlocks reports that this feature lets Signal “remain usable” in Russia.)

Released back in March, Medieval Dynasty New Settlement is an immersive sandbox RPG where you roam around managing everything needed to try and get your little settlement to thrive. It's also now been optimized for the Quest 3 thanks to this week's 1.4 patch, adding a wealth of visual enhancements and new performance modes across all supported Quest headsets.

Previously confirmed in its post-launch roadmap last November, Dungeons of Eternity, the recipient of our 2023 best multiplayer VR game award, has introduced an 'Arachnophobia Mode' on Quest. Activating this in the settings menu swaps spider monsters for something "more loveable and friendly looking," according to Othergate Entertainment.

  • Ready at Dawn Studios, part of Oculus Studios, is closing permanently, effective immediately.
  • The studio produced some of the highest-rated VR games ever, including Lone Echo, Lone Echo 2, and Echo VR, as well as some PSP classics like God of War and Daxter.
  • Meta says that Ready at Dawn employees are encouraged to apply to other studios within the Oculus Studios umbrella.
  • The reduction was made to meet the new Reality Labs budgetary ceiling rather than as a proactive cost-saving initiative.

I’ve been on basically that exact same journey. I made a little iOS app that uses rss feeds and the iframe player to play videos: Unwatched for YouTube (just released it two weeks ago). It’s also open source, if you have any specific questions let me know.

Has to run in the app once for the setup, the timer shows how long it’s been since the last refresh.

It only uses scriptable, no shortcuts, but I guess that’s close enough.

I read about a really annoying dimming issue, not sure if that’s affecting everyone though. Is it stable enough, how’s battery life?

Thanks :)

PS VR2 was designed from the ground up specifically for PS5 – so you’ll notice that some key features, like HDR, headset feedback, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback (other than rumble), are not available when playing on PC. However, other high-fidelity and sensory immersion features of PS VR2 are supported, including 4K visuals (2000 x 2040 per eye), 110-degree field of view, finger touch detection, and see-through view, as well as foveated rendering (without eye tracking) and 3D Audio in supported games.

Adaptive triggers is not surprising I guess, but even the haptic feedback? Eye tracked foveated rendering as well, imo all this combined with the price tag for the adapter makes this not a good option. Only if you already have one and always wanted to try PC VR. And even then I’m not sure if it’s worth the adapter price.

The guy in the video literally just watches a video and compares a picture of a screw with an actual one. I don’t think anyone would bother putting on a headset for that.

If someone is buying a Quest for productivity I think they’ll be very disappointed. The new window management looks like a welcome improvement though.

1Blocker, but there are probably better/cheaper ones out there.

For YouTube specifically I can recommend Vinegar.

I obviously don’t have any inside information, but my guess is that he’s not flexing with this, he just can’t let it go, he probably should. Especially since he’s already halfway in retirement.

It was working again for me after a few hours, but not being able to play anything at all, including downloaded offline games, was really frustrating.

Not all of these are programming languages btw
