    If the 1 st gen of Ally works this well in terms of VR capability, imagine the future of all these pc handheld devices!😊

    Can you imagine if they replace the internals of the quest 3 with an ally.modified the software to just run vr as a all in one headset. Rog get on this asap!

    This is great... I am curious to see if anybody can get this working with the external GPU module and how that will affect performance. I like to maintain a bit higher refresh rate for motion sickness but this does look interesting.

    Works via USBC Oculus link running native PC VR apps with the Quest Pro. Would recommend plugging in, instead of using Virtual Desktop. Just need to find a way to strap the ally to the waist. (Which you barely feel)

    I just played elite dangerous on my ally. The text is really hard to read but I was completely immersed. I'm not that versed into what I should do to get better quality ..maybe someone can get better results. I did not connect my Ally to a dock because I wanted a full wireless experience and also wanted to use it as a controller. As a portable all in one vr experience is incredible we can play a game like elite on the go

      In elite settings goto graphics preset and scroll down and set it to Medium VR it helps a lot making the letters clearer. It runs a lot better and cuts out all the stutter using Steam Link as well it’s a bit stuttery if you use Quest Link I found.

    Could Halflife Alyx be played offline after an initial setup. For e.g : Can you plug the Quest 2 into the ROG ALLY?
    Perhaps with some kind of adapter?
    I am thinking of making an adapter to fit the Ally to a belt and play it on the go would be crazy. But I don’t have an Ally but would definitely buy one if it were possible to plug the Quest 2 into it rather than using a network.

    • @cbutters
