  3. I've recently taken another look at VR hardware & software space to see if it's at a point where I might be interested.

    I am interested. All my research points me firmly towards Pico 4 being the best choice for me at this point.

    It satisfies all needs within a price point that isn't completely ridiculous to me.

    1. no Zucc
    2. works with Godot
    4. standalone

    As an indie game dev and 3D/tech artist I also see that as an investment.

    What do you think?

    Here we go - Meta are fully moving through the #enshittification gears with their #vr division now.

    As if you needed a reason not to wear a Meta product on your face.

    You're better off with a #pico4 - they haven't stooped to Bytedance's lows yet.

    They will eventually, but then you just move on to the next VR company who, in future, build their systems with privacy built in.

  8. I just started my second play through of #arizonasunshine2. It's a fantastic #vr game. This time around I played it on my #pico4 headset using #alvr on #linux . And it worked flawlessly! I downloaded it from #steam, launched ALVR, launched the game and it worked without any tinkering. The experience is pretty much the same as using #virtualdesktop on #windows.

    I am amazed by the simplicity of #gaming on Linux these days!

  10. ByteDance and Tencent scale back VR ambitions as metaverse enthusiasm wanes. Is the VR industry at a pivotal juncture? Apple also reportedly cutting production of Vision Pro headsets.

  12. It's a shame the #vr sector appears to be slowing down.
    I've got a #pico4 and it's an amazing bit of kit.

    I use it for work, using www.immersed.com and takes breaks to do a boxing workout with Box To The Beat.

    And the family uses it for #gaming 🎮

    If only Meta weren't leading the charge, not a good look having such a shite company setting the tone 😬

  13. Meta Quest VR enters China via Tencent deal. Quest 3 Lite may debut, replacing Quest 2 with affordable pricing. Pico cuts jobs amid market shakeup.

  15. I just released 🐷⛑️Piggy Rescue🐖🐖🐖. An VR game about saving a bunch of little pigs swimming on the shore of a beach. 🐽⛵🐽🏖️🐽🌊🐽

    It's a two months project in my journey to learn gdscript.

    It's made in Godot4 and I'll be releasing the code in a few days so people could add more pets to rescue! 🐑🐇🐄🦄

  16. @hybridhavoc I would absolutely wait for some reviews of the #quest3. I recently upgraded from Quest 2 to #pico4 due to the higher resolution displays, lower weight and better FOV.

    I use it mostly as a wireless #PCVR headset using VirtualDesktop and I absolutely love it. The Quest 3 looks like it has the same advantages over the Quest 2 plus some nice additional features but at a much higher price poing.

  18. I need an adult....to take care of my credit card. Just ordered a #Pico4 #VR set and #Sapphire #RX6600 because my 6400 won't cut it for VR. Only thing I need now is #Valve's #HalfLife #Alyx and I'll be disconnecting from reality and live in virtual reality permanently. 😜

  19. ...and the same is true for the upcoming Quake4 VR. Playable demo incoming in the coming days! 😎

    #pico4 #quake #virtualreality #gaming

  20. Welp, the #pico4 with #alvr isn't perfect but it is pretty good and with some tweaking of settings I think it will be even better.

    And, it doesn't need any damned light houses or cables!!!

    So... On that note. Does anyone want to buy my #Valve #Index ? The whole thing works perfectly. Lightly used.

  21. Here is a great depiction of what 'Standing on the shoulders of Giants' means. I am playing #Prey, a classic FPS shooter from 2006 on my #Pico4 headset in glorious #VirtualReality with 6DoF and motion controls. How was this made possible? Check out this diagram to see how the modding community in the #gaming space worked feverishly to port old games and enhance engines that resulted in a game made for Windows Vista! running in a standalone VR headset.

  22. Have any of you by chance tried #alvr with #steamvr in Linux, maybe with a #pico4?

    Cause uh... I do be being stuck.

  23. A VR mod for Crysis is in the works. It's currently in Alpha but already playable. 🤩

    I played for a while using Virtual Desktop to stream the game from my PC to my Pico 4 headset. You still need a beefy PC but it's great fun!

  24. Hello Fediverse!

    I'm a curious lifelong learner. Virtual reality and ai enthusiast. I've had a career as a full-stack developer but left Big Tech at the start of the Pandemic. Currently, I am enjoying developing my UX, business, and related skills. I build and launch my projects 50/50 with leading the tech side of a Seattle-based live comedy platform. I've moved to Rust as my primary language. Roasting coffee, gardening, reading

    #Introduction #rustlang #webxr #pico4 #virtualreality #gpt-4 #llm

  25. If you think #WebXR from #w3c makes sense next to #OpenXR from #KhronosGroup in the context of #XR #AR #VR then

    immersiveweb.dev/

    is a must-have bookmark. I find the browser overview alone, which by the way can be maintained via github, worth its weight in gold.

    Perhaps someone from the #Pico4-Devs can add the #PicoBrowser Capabilities.

    JFC!

    I _JUST_ learned about a VR product that is 10+yrs old today that is kicking the ass of #Meta's #Metaverse product point to point product wise which is $51 more expensive than the #MetaQuest2 named #PICO4 which is growing at a 3x rate of #Meta's flagship #Metaverse product and is waaaaay less expensive by 3x!!! #WSJ #SiliconValley #VR #MR #AR #Competition

    Exec Summary: PICO is for Business
    VR and Meta's VR product is just for games.

    PICO has 250+ vs Meta's paltry 400 games for the place form and since they compete there is some gaming company software cross overs.

    The _Best_ part is the #PICO4 has its _own platform_ that _doesn't require anything #Meta related_
    ( read: #ToxicSocialMedia or watch #Netflix's #TheSocialDilemma then rewatch #TheSocialNetwork , #DumbFSCKs) to function login wise.

    O_o !!!! >.<

  28. A standalone VR-Headset like the #Focus3, #Quest2 or #Pico4 is nothing more than an Android device with built-in screens, motion trackers and usually two wand controllers.

    So everyone who likes #FOSS should also have F-DROID on it. I thought so and gave it a try. Awesome! Besides #Sidequest now a second source to be more independent from the official stores.

  29. So eine Standalone VR-Brille, wie die #Focus3, #Quest2 oder #Pico4 ist im Kern nichts anderes als ein Android-Device mit eingebauten Bildschirmen, Motion-Trackern und i.d.R. zwei Zauberstab-Controller.

    Folglich sollte jeder, der #FOSS mag auch F-DROID drauf haben. Dachte ich mir und machte es mal. Genial! Neben #Sidequest nun eine zweite Quelle um unabhängiger von den offiziellen Stores zu sein.

    Lasst uns probieren, wie der Multiuser-Modus von diesem kostenfreien VR-3D-Design Programm funktioniert. Evt. sogar Cross-Device? Interesse?

    Let's try how the multiuser mode of this free VR 3D design program works. Maybe even cross-device? Interested? PM me.

  31. Today I found a third, free tool for smart fully immersive creativity in #VR Headsets: Microsoft #Maquette. I would say an #OpenBrush from Redmond, with quite interesting features. However, it is currently unclear wether this will be developed further.

    It's available either via #SteamVR or from Microsoft:

  32. Heute habe ich ein drittes, kostenfreies Werkzeug für voll kühle, immersive Kreativität in der #VR-Tauchebrille gefunden: Microsoft #Maquette. Würde sagen ein #OpenBrush aus Redmond, mit durchaus interessanten Features. Allerdings ist gerade unklar ob das so noch weiter entwickelt wird.

    Zu haben gibt's das entweder über SteamVR oder von Microsoft:

  33. Rückblick auf meine vier 100DaysOfCode Runden:

    R1: ~Jan 2018
    R2: ~Jan 2019
    R3: ~Feb 2020
    R4: ~Jun 2020

    Learn, Code, Hack, Tuut, Eat, Sleep, Repeat.

    Diesmal würde ich mich im Schwerpunkt mit zwei #SocialVR Lösungen beschäftigen: Overte.org und thirdroom.io.

    Auch wenn ich so'ne #VR Taucherbrille, hier #Pico4, habe, sollte es imho immer möglich sein an den 3D Welten auch einfach flat teilzunehmen. Wenn möglich gar auch ohne Anmeldung.

  34. Weiß jemand ob man mit der #Pico4 #VR Headset offline, also ohne Internetverbindung, zocken kann? Also wenn man die Spiele vorher aufs Gerät lädt?
    Oder reicht zum zocken auch eine schlechte Internetverbindung?

  35. "An open source virtual reality platform." Das klingt schonmal vielversprechend. So steht es in der About-Box von #Overte geschrieben. Wer #pcvr am Start hat, kann sogar gleich mit #Oculus, #Vive oder Windows #MR Headsets los legen. Da ich mit der #pico4 und meinem "schwachen" WLAN noch nicht ganz optimal verbunden bin, werde ich als erstes mal schauen, wie weit es ohne #VR-HW geht. Stay tuned.
