      Yeah, avoid the major event unless you have an rtx 4080 gpu or equivalent to avoid lag a crashing.
      On a serious note, I think going over some holiday themed worlds would be great. There are a few Christmas themed worlds (like the amusement park) that aren't well known but a lot of fun.

      @Bananaa_- major events typically have between 60 to 80 people. That in itself is a lot of rendering for your gpu, but add on special avatars 150mb+ in suze and it's a recipe for major lag. Quest can handle 30 people of not everyone has large avatar sizes.

      I don’t recommend any standalone vr if you’re getting into VRchat, it hinders your experience quite a bit, but if you’re willing to just connect it to a pc, then I would just go for standalone with a link, full body and everything else is just meant for more expressive movements, like dancing, so unless you plan to become a vr breakdancer, I wouldn’t go after that stuff either.

    For people who have trouble with the comfort of the Quest 2, I hated it and couldn't play without pain for longer than 30 minutes until I got the Bobo M2 headstrap with the battery. Definitely recommend trying it or any other headstrap with a counterweight on the back/a halo design. Now hours and hours blow by and I barely feel discomfort at all, and definitely do not feel pain. Got me back into VR after a long lull!

    • @kebabRS

      Bobo is great for Quest2 BUT I just got my Quest 3 version of it for my Quest 3 and I gotta say it does not hold up. It's better than the stock Q3 strap but it doesn't compare to the quest2 version.

    • @Zhadnost
      @Zhadnost 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Totally agree on both points, the wife wouldn't even put her Quest 2 on until the strap arrived (having tried mine). The moving of the weight onto the top of your head makes it so much more comfortable with the Bobo, you can even partly flip the headset up whilst using it to talk to people.

    • @xter7856

      They want to expand the BigScreen. If you have ever gone on Steam and used their VR game. It is worth a play. Game is same name as the company. So many things to share and watch and play and listen to. It is similar to VR chat. However, it does one thing better than VR chat. It allows you to share media in live time easily with others. Also, BigScreen does produce quality products that I have seen so far. I need to upgrade from my OG Vive. I Would like passthrough. However, I think Bigscreen is where it is at. I understand that there is flare in the edges of bright screens or objects. So, that has me worried a bit. Right now, I am torn between Quest 3 and Bigscreen. My HTC Vive is still in really good condition. However, I am tired of the bulk and the image quality.
      I am really worried about the leap to a new headset.

    The was a hardware mod that adds EyetrackVR to Bigscreen Beyond. The official Bigscreen TH-cam channel showed it off and showed interest in a possible official kit for it (or at least that was what it seemed to me). Plus as a Linux user, the EyetrackVR is something I want. The HTC VIVE Pro Eye didn't have Linux supported eye tracking nor did the face tracking. So open source solutions are what are required for me to use those features. Here's hoping a FOSS face tracker happens.

    As a new VR user who opted for a PICO 4, I'd say the advice for the Quest 2/3 pretty much applies to the PICO.
    Quality wise you could consider it to be a Quest 2.5, and the official streaming app works flawlessly when connecting to PCVR, both wired or wireless.
    There's also the PICO trackers, which might be a cheap way to try out simple FBT before taking the plunge into more expensive options.
    Edit: All my info on the PICO trackers comes from the following video: th-cam.com/video/-zSK7A_bM2E/w-d-xo.html

      As someone that hops between the Q3 and Pico4 both are great headsets, both standalone and for PCVR. I did find the performance for the Quest being great right out the box using the link cable as well as the Oculus app in comparison the Pico's streaming software. In Virtual Desktop you should be able to get better performance for both headsets by avoiding their software.
      If the Pico 5 were coming out I would have stayed within Pico long-term.

From what I've researched, at launch the app was so-so, but it has improved drastically, to the point that Virtual Desktop is no longer a necessity. But I haven't compared, to be honest, once I tried the streaming app, I had no need to buy Virtual Desktop so... Maybe it does work better. 😅

    8:20 just to add it, since you didn't mention it: SlimeVR can also still be very difficult to setup and configure. Even if you follow all the steps, it is heavily reliant on *how* they are mounted to your body and the initial skeleton measurement in order to work properly. It can work for some people, but it's VERY DIY. This problem increases exponentially when you create your own trackers.

    I’m in VR since last week. Got myself a Quest 2 so if I don’t like it I don’t have a hole in my pocket. Got it on long term rent, so I only pay a couple Bucks for the usage and probably will upgrade to the Quest 3 or maybe 4 if it’s out then in a year. For now I’m very happy with the 2, got myself an better strap and some correction lenses which should arrive in two days. As a cheaper entry it’s still great imo.

    I really wanna get back into VR in 2024, perfect timing. I was waiting for something better than the index

  • @davidknightx

    My Quest 2 head strap looks insane. I have BoboVR with the center strap going front to back across the middle of the top of my head with strong Velcro attached to it. I got an old basketball cap, cut out the front visor, and attached Velcro to the top attaching it to the Bobo strap. On the back of that strap is something to hold the PC cable to keep it behind me. I use a similar thing on the left side to keep the Bobo power cable out of the way when using the PC cable.
    Underneath the cap, I folded a washcloth to prop up the Oculus higher up my head so the front face is now eye level. I tried attaching stuff to those two rubber things on the top of the Bobo, but this puts all the weight of the headset on two small areas on the top of my head and the pressure causes me intense pain for some reason. Using the washcloth distributes the weight evenly and the fabric of the cap helps keep the Quest from sliding around my face and dipping forward from the heavy front weight.
    The problem is there's too much weight on the Oculus. It should contain the lenses, displays, and gyros AND NOTHING ELSE. Everything remaining should be hook on a belt or something like the battery and computer stuff that makes it a standalone headset. Putting it all in the front of your face is bad design. The headset is always fighting to slide down your face requiring you to either vice grip it to your head or do the insane stuff I'm doing.
    Do better Valve on your second headset. Make it light as possible and make it comfortable!!!

  • @minion568
    @minion568 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    i went from index to quest 3 mostly due to the weight of the headset of the index that and the finger tracking can be a little buggy with the controllers, but if you can somehow get a different controller to work with quest 3 the hand tracking won't be much of a issue. just be careful when charging the headset started seeing some sort of pixeling not sure if it was the heat or the charge being at 100 while still charging. an yes get a fan with it that thing gets ridiculously hot on the forehead. i don't see bigscreen as a option due to the price for just the headset. if there was a headset the same size for less of the price then yeah might be worth getting.

  • @cingkole7893

    • @mokurai8233
      @mokurai8233 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, I got a battery head strap and facial interface straight away, and a good 6ghz router. I want to get more external batteries and a charger, and maybe prescription lenses in the future.
      However, the wireless PCVR experience on the quest 3 makes up for the additional costs. The lenses are a game changer, and Steam Link rocks at 350mbit encoding.

  • @Leo_Ponn
    @Leo_Ponn 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I know this is 4 months later but I have a quest 3 but I’m pretty much unable to buy these so if anyone is in my situation I had watched a a few videos covering some full body tracking apps that you can get on your phone and I started using Viso. Not perfect but it’s decent and I cant really say much since I only really tested it for about an hour on VRC but it does work just don’t be like me and have only 1 rather dim lamp on and be wearing jeans and a black shirt because it struggled quite a bit. I will edit this post when I have done further testing. I have also gotten a new head strap with external battery from Kiwi design and boy I’m glad I did. SO much more comfortable and didn’t feel any after effect like I did with the standard head straps. I’m sure there are far better but a friend recommended me the one I got and got it in 2 days did 1 to 1 1/2 hours of testing and had no issues. I do think at some point I would like to get a better headset and some proper trackers but at the moment I need to focus on saving money for more important matters such as getting a car. And a better job. Then I can go to thinking about other things.

  • @modranklob5085
    @modranklob5085 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Using an oculus rift for my full body tracking is my go-to, since I already have everything (aside from a 3rd controller to use as a chest tracker, so I instead opt in to using the headset itself), it's very awesome! And I didn't really spend any money on it, since it was my brother's old headset.

    I’m completely new to pc VR, but I have a lot of experience with VR and research and I’ve been looking to get a big screen beyond because most of my headsets are just uncomfortable for me and big screen beyond just looks a whole Nother league ahead of comfortability and I do have the budget but I need some tips because I gotta get a PC and a whole set up as well

  • @alaina_plays_games
    @alaina_plays_games 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Now there were a few things PHIA left out in this video like Full Body Estimation which is a trackerless solution for full body tracking, although it's not very good yet but is good for people who absolutely need tracking but can't afford trackers yet.

    Thanks for the video, really well done and helped me out a ton as I was stuck between 3 different picks (Quest 3, Index, BigScreen Beyond)!
    Decided to get a Quest 3 for now with the plan to eventually upgrade to a BigScreen once I have all the other needed setup accessories, and overall pretty satisfied with the Quest 3 even though I haven't gotten to set it up much yet outside of watching some shows in the browser for a cozy big screen experience. Looking forward to checking out the different apps available to the Quest 3 as well as checking out stuff like VR Chat and other VR games on steam!

  • @gamesongames
    @gamesongames 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I got an update! I got my trackers recently! And boy was I surprised, sure at first I wasn't sure how to set it up, but I eventually got it, and getting set up has never been easier! Not to mention the quality of the tracking itself is something you have to experience for yourself, but it truly shocked me! I look forward to using them more in the future!!

  • @paolaanimator
    @paolaanimator 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Saw this video. I got my Slimes and while I am still figuring out how to set up tracking to make sure it works, just the fact that I have accessible full body tracking is amazing. I have a blast using them, just needs some tweaks in calibration. Slimes plus Quest 2 Airlink combo makes this a great way to have completely wireless VR at an affordable budget while using PCVR. I know standalone Quest only is possible but I prefer VRChat in PC/Steam.

    if you connect q3 to pc with a good link cable it is far better than index minus knuckles controllers the fov is very vlose and the lenses are better on q3 and you also have a larger menu of games for just quest and pc such as boneworks and just quest like asquards wrath

  • @jesperlivid9184

    I love the look and the vibe of the BigScreen Beyond- But have one big problem with it... Nobody ELSE can really use the headset you paid 1,000$ for, since it's 3D custom molded to YOUR face shape. Curious to see how a release with just a standard face cushion would go for them, since it being so slim seems like it lends majorly to portability where you can plug and play wherever there's an available PC, meaning more people would get a chance to try one out for themselves AND you have the option to share it. Would make it much more worth the price tag compared to other systems imo. Obviously you sacrifice a bit of comfort, but that's where you can design different shaped face cushions for a swap-and-play style system.

    I just bought my Valve index and it arrives today. I just wanted the knuckles and base stations without having to buy them separately. I plan on using the index as much as possible and then upgrade later in the year because I’m sure the big screen VR will be topped by something else and the index is STILL reliable so i’m not worried.

  • @AcidUsagi

    My biggest issue is that. I do want an easy setup that I can also have a full body tracking without fanangeling much with softwares and stuff. I'm a pretty simple person and if I have to hop trough hoops and loops to get thing working I can just easily get frustrated.
    I so want to get to VR but my friends are giving me all different recommendations with varying degree of hardwares.
    Not to mention that I do need to wear glasses whilst doing VR
    And as mentioned valve VR is outdated so now i'm just in an eternal loop of waiting for something like Valve VR 2 to happen just to enjoy vr maybe sometime in 20+ years.

    I want to buy the equipment to build something decent for VR. So I looked for this video. But the truth is I feel like a lot of information was thrown at me and I'm still quite lost. I would almost have preferred something based on sets with everything and body tracking. Like Quest 3 and X equipment for the body, plus the base station. Then the medium option and finally the most expensive but with more quality
