Ocēlōtl cehuetzilizpan ❄️<h1>My experience with VR so far</h1><p>Like with most things tech related, my time trying VR has been very weird. I had a lot of strange technical difficulties that had to get sorted out.</p><p>Not only is this my first VR headset, but this is my first time ever experiencing VR. So there’s a lot to say about my experience with that.</p><p>The headset itself is large but not overly so. It weighs on your head like a hard hat or bicycle helmet does: present but not heavy or uncomfortable. When the straps adjusted correctly it’s well balanced on your head. It never felt front heavy to me.</p><p>The headset seemed to track just fine.* Precision with the two controllers was pretty good. No jitter or drift that I can see.</p><p>Passthrough uses the B&W tracking cameras to “see” so visual quality is poor but you can see the individual keys on the keyboard but the letters are illegible.</p><p>The arterial cable wasn’t an issue for me. Just let it hang from behind my head. Didn’t feel “tied down” or uncomfortable, even while standing. Just be mindful of where you place it.</p><p>My main gripe is with the facial cushion. It’s rather thin so I’ll grab the Pimax “comfort kit” when it’s available.</p><p>On day 1 the headset was pretty much plug & play. Got VRChat up and running in short time. Never had any issues with tracking while in the game. </p><p>On day 2, I tried DCS VR. That was a mistake. Had a ton of random issues that needed to be ironed out, from bad tracking to view centring audio issues.</p><p>As for me, someone new to VR, navigating in VRChat was a lot to take in. Very cool but I was sweating and could tell I was riding the line between being fine and being nauseated. Eventually it became too much had to take it off or risk throwing up. I spent a day or two recovering.</p><p>Trying DCS VR, I experienced some very mild vertigo at first given I spawned mid-air but in the end I was able to enjoy my time (as much as I could) before becoming tired of the almost nonstop issues. But physically, I felt fine. No nausea. Just trying to get used to the experience.</p><p>I have no other point of comparison so it’s hard to give an opinion, but the Pimax Crystal Light seems like a solid piece of kit. It plays nice with VR optimized games and offers a visually impressive experience for a fair price.</p><p>DCS VR, on the other paw, is very user unfriendly but VERY cool.</p><p>While cool visually, it seems clear to me that unless DCS becomes a more VR friendly game, I’m going to continue using my IR head tracker. It’s just way more convenient and reliable, and while visually “flat”, everything is much higher definition.</p><p>I’ll have to give VRChat another go but so far I’m pleased with my purchase.</p><p><a href="https://meow.social/tags/VR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VR</span></a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/DCS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DCS</span></a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/VRChat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VRChat</span></a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/Pimax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pimax</span></a> <a href="https://meow.social/tags/CrystalLight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CrystalLight</span></a></p>
