An experience everyone should try
2 of 2 found this helpful THIS IS A FULL REVIEW
Finding a review to explain exactly what the VR experience entails is a difficult one
Many simply state it being hard to explain and just buy one to find out
The problem with this is that it is a very expensive way of just jumping in blind to find out for yourself
I made the plunge after years of doubt, and having unsuccessfully found anywhere to trial one
Well, i wasnt disappointed
Trying to describe the VR experience is in fact as hard as others have said, but i think the experience can be described in order to give a sense of what it offers
Visuals - i can best describe my experience, using the Oculus Quest, as giving an immersive, 3D / holographic type of experience.
Back in the 80's our school had a travelling science group who showed us holograms, looking through boxes or tubes, seeing the visual holograms of certain objects, animals etc.These images appeared 3 dimensional, and also appeared to be, in a sense, floating within this infinite 3 dimension space.
This is the experience that VR, in general, offers.
Take Robo Recall for example, my first outing in to VR
It immerses you in what feels (or the brain is tricked) like a real life city, albeit in an obvious computer game graphical visual. However, where it shines is that interactions while fighting/shooting the robots, in that they appear correctly, at various distances, scaled correctly, shadow details, etc and the rendered 'box' of the robots is incredibly accurate. 'Grabbing or shooting at the robot, gives a real sense that they are actually there, in front of you (or behind) and you find yourself reacting automatically to duck dodge or block them.
VR is this ability to construct a 3 dimensional arena/world, and tricking the brain to immerse you as if it were real. The only thing that holds you on to actual reality is the obvious computer rendered images you see (and the occasional hitting your knuckles on a nearby desk or wall
Oculus Quest Unit
Hardware
This unit is my first jump in to VR, so i have nothing to compare it to, however, I've bought many an item over the years, and can clearly judge that this item is of top rated build quality
The plastics are hard, feel sturdy, have differing surface finishes depending on if its where you would normally hold or touch.
The straps are adjustable, feel strong and hard wearing.
The foam padding is comfy and soft, and does an excellent job of block out light.
The lenses / screens have an adjustment facility for those with eye issues. I have on eye with long distance issues, however i can wear my oculus with out my glasses and have no issues with seeing clearly.
It is possible to buy lense inserts from the Oculus approved company by giving them your prescription
I havent opened up the unit to look at the internals (nor will I), but this unit uses OLED screens with a high resolution, a high brightness, and the blackest of blacks. The refresh rate doesnt cause any tearing or slowdowns when things get fast paced.
The battery has a supposed life of around 2 hours, ive achieved slightly higher than this, but it will depend on the software, games etc that you are running.
The touch controllers are superb, and i was blown away with how accurate the xyz position and displaying of these were on the unit.
Software
This area was a surprise for me, id had a quick look and saw a few games ertc, but it wasnt until i installed the oculus app on my phone (this is required on initial first turn on of unit) and the oculus app on my pc (not required to play on oculus), that i saw the shear amount of additional software tools available.
The Quest can be run as a standalone unit, using just the Quest store for software.
However, plug in a cable and attach it to your VR capable PC opens up a whole 'rift' of possibilities.
This software, Oculus Link' enables the quest to access the Rift store, hereby giving full access to the complete list of software available on the PC based Rift store, thus opening even more games and apps.
From there you can also instal SteamVR, and access the VR content on the Steam store.
This whole process is a simple case of buying the correct USB-C to C cable (must be capable of delivering power and data, normally advertised as 10GB cables) and allowing the oculus pc software detect your headset, install the Oculus Link software (in Beta, but its works well), then on the Quest home screen, you simply click on the beta link button and it transfers you to the Rift home screen and store. For steam it requires SteamVR (which is in your 'tools' folder not games)
The oculus software enables you to map out your room, drawing around everything using the touch controllers, this gives you a safe area, and the system will bring up a grid on your eye screens when you get too close (this can be adjusted and changed very easily if you use the Quest in another room etc. As the quest version is primarily wire free, portability function is great on this)
run out of characters lol
