"VR-Amazons At Home" Headsets?
Added 2024-03-06 20:36:03 +0000 UTCReferring to the resumption of VR Amazon development, I'm interested in what VR headsets you guys are using or plan to purchase one in 2024. A first very small test has shown that the Meta Quest 3 performs very well in Mixed Reality with a muscle girl in your apartment / house. Multiple answers are possible, but if you have a Meta Quest 2 or 3, please do not tick the PC Based option, as it is clear that they can do that too.
Also be aware, that PC based VR headsets won't be able for mixed reality and hand tracking. "VR-Amazons At Home" will just be for Stand Alone headsets, though I will try to make ports to a PC based virtual environment.
I also need testers for Meta Quest 2 who are willing to invest some time and give me feedback, since I don't have any Quest 2 myself. Please get in touch in the comments or PM.
PS: It is now a good opportunity to resume support for all VR fans waiting in the background. I would like to remind you that two years ago I had to give up the VR Amazon development, among other things, because the financing was far too weak and I had to put in too much of my own private money.

Thanks for your contribution. The main goal is really mixed reality. Unfortunately, Meta does not allow the camera image to be looped through to the PC. Therefore, a PC version will only be an offshoot in a virtual house/apartment. In the MR version there will be no locomotion, you just have to move your feet around the house. Hand tracking is important because there will also be the opportunity to touch the girls, and this will also be visible, for example through dents and wobbling. But of course I will also support the controllers from the start. I have 4 PC based headsets myself, so I probably won't need any help with that, but thanks for the offer.

2024-03-07 08:33:41 +0000 UTCKeep in mind that the Quest 2 is very poorly suited for mixed reality (b/w, poor quality) and that both Quests can also be connected to Steam VR via Quest link. MR will probably only be able to run satisfactorily on Quest 3 (and above). I would focus on Quest 3: It has the best conditions, is not too expensive and it is up to date and still viable for the future. I'll have to try out whether the Quest 3 (and others) can't do hand tracking via Steam. And MR should actually also be possible in principle on most headsets that have cameras via Steam (although many of them also have very poor cameras). I'll check that out. Hand tracking? I would also have to see on which headsets this is possible over PC, but in my opinion the Xbox controller would still be the easiest, most compatible and least error-prone for basic control. Personally, I would try to get this control to work first in the PC area and then set everything else up as an additional option, if you don't just focus on Quest 3 standalone, which might be necessary. You just have to estimate what will be possible in terms of time and work. I'm still well equipped with headsets: Quest 3, Quest 2, Vive Pro, Vive, Pimax 5k. PC: 4070Ti, 5800X3D. I could also imagine testing things.

2024-03-06 22:36:45 +0000 UTCI _might_ get a Quest 3 later this year, but that's unlikely since the Quest 2 satisfies my needs well enough currently.
