Thereās a solid chance also that stuff from that era you tried was only 3dof
(3 degrees of freedom)
Nobody wants to touch anything that isnāt 6dof nowadays
3dof is pretty much limited to only rotation of your head, if you step to the left everything moves with you which can be suuuper jarring
6dof if you step left, everything stays where it was. And your perspective changes just like it would in real life, muuch more comfortable and immediately immersive
I remember trying on an older Oculus rift headset back in 2017. After just an hour playing around with different demo programs I took the headset off and almost immediately got a headache. Also a weird feeling like the world wasnāt matching up with what my brain was expecting while walking around.
My sisters fiance has a VR setup he let me try out that was wildly better with no headaches or weird feeling afterwards. I suspect the reason for the previous issue was due to imprecise motion tracking on the headset. Then again Iām not very susceptible to motion sickness unless I try to sleep in a moving car. Then is disorientation city 
. Iād recommend giving modern VR a shot. Itās come a long way from what it used to be and itās only going to get better from here.
Out of curiosity, can that virtual thing be visited using a simple, low-cpu, Doom-style scene rendering? I might give it a whirl if it was.
EDIT: I have my answer: Windows-only 2D client. Nevermind then

Quest is supposed to arrive today 
shipping go zoom from Oculus store
Got my Quest all setup and played the first steps thing for a bit and am now downloading alt space.
For those that have them, do you suggest the elite strap/equivalent first? or the vr cover? Because I definitely noticed some pressure points on my face after a bit 
What wound this forum be without derails? 
Iād say the strap, personally I like the eyglo semi better than the elite, cheaper and breaks less
The silicone cover is only like 10$ so Iād just do eyglo and silicone instead of elite
For me I definitely needed the facial interface first, if I was prioritizing. The default strap was annoying, but the default facial interface actively hurt me.
You definitely donāt need the VRCover brand, which I got. Itās a bit more on the expensive side, but itās a nice fake leather, and super soft. It has nose guards as well to try and block out extra light. A silicone one would work fine too, as Eriequiet mentioned, and would be much cheaper.
Also, definitely wouldnāt go for the oculus branded elite strap, when you eventually upgrade. Thereās a massive amount of them cracking and breaking, and oculus temporarily stopped production for a bit. The aftermarket ones are cheaper, and havenāt seen any reports of breaks.
Appologies and massive thanks to @Pilgrimsmaster for trying to untangle this mess of a thread we made

Any of you with a quest 2 or a quest 1 that currently have experience doing wireless pcvr?
Iām still anxiously waiting my new laptop with a 3070 to run vr, but it could be a month still because of the silicon shortages
In the mean time anyone want to try to play around with this to see if they can get wifi direct working as detailed here
Should be even easier than as detailed because oculus no longer require the side loading of the virtual desktop wireless patch, and include it in the native version of virtual desktop
Literally tried that last night, using a hotspot on my PC and Virtual Desktop (using the 5GHz band). It worked fine, but in my case, it was still a bit laggy running intensive games like Half-Life:Alyx. That could be a number of factors affecting my experience, though. My wireless card is an Intel Wireless-AC 9260, with a dedicated antenna. Could also be due to the crowded bands/channels in my area. Thereās over 30 wifi networks nearby me, due to being in a dorm
My experience with a dedicated 5GHz router was a lot better. At my actual house back home, it was a great experience.
So weird, I donāt understand everything at play with wifi routers
But I fail to see how adding a step decreases latency
Did you install the connectify app or just use the baked in windows hotspot? (Iāve read thatās far worse and less stable)
Various steps in the above video force performance mode instead of what the baked in software prefers to doā¦ apparently because itās illegal to hotspot 5ghz in Englandā¦ it actively tries to prevent it for everyone ā¦sigh
The built-in one. Iāll have to try the connectify app. Iāll do that in an hour or two, Iāll let you know how it goes.
Not a big fan of their monetization strategy though, which is why I tried to avoid them in the first place. I guess Iāll try it as a ādemoā and purchase it if itās really good.
Not familiar with their approach,
Other nugget of wisdom I foundā¦ but donāt remember how to implementā¦
Apparently windows semi regularly does a search for new wifi networks, that needs to be disabled as it induces terrible latency spikes
Their free version is super locked down, and it supposedly has a usage timer. They also try and sell the ā2021 versionā separately, and make you pay more for lifetime. Itās not a ton, $15 for one lifetime license, but still.
Wish there was an open-source alternative.
Iāll actually try it right now, Iāve got nothing better to do. Iāll report back in a few.
