    Oculus Rift S, anyone? Linus forgot to mention it entirely!!!!!!! No need for extra cameras at all, for $ 400, it’s a good VR headset...

      Phillipe i agree with you I have the oculus rift s and with the limited amount of space I have it works perfectly for my predicament because of the use of the inside out track as opposed to the outside in with the base stations. I really enjoy not having to do all of the routing for the base station and not having a super long drawn out setup of the rift s. I feel like it is being overlooked by many because people are complaining about the tracking abilities but I have not had any issues with the tracking of the rift s and for 400$ it’s a steal for the specs and everything that comes with it

    I'm blown away. So, completely blown away by it all. It's felt intuitive enough considering this is my first experience, minimal to no motion sickness pending the game. Thank you for this incredible video!!

    • @FlameSoulis
      @FlameSoulis Před 3 lety +7

      Hope you aren't still stuck in Gaben's queue for one and hope it cooperates with you. Coming from a DK2, Oculus Rift, OG Vive, and a Quest owner, the Index is just perfect. The biggest thing NOT mentioned in the video, incase you have tried another headset, is the Field of View for up and down is ALSO higher. This is why games like HL: Alyx has more things on the floor and on tables: you can just look with your eyes whereas in most other headsets, you HAVE to look down due to the FOV being smaller.

    • @Raisoko
      @Raisoko Před 3 lety +1

      I'm testing an index right now for work purposes and my God. First VR experience and it's just mind blowing. This is completely worth the $1000 and now I'm considering buying one myself. Rig is only 2 970s in SLI and a 1700x at stock no overclock but it's been buttery smooth so far. Definitely though the 970s are the limiting factor. Looking at a 3080 right now which should completely remove any limitations.

    @jbienz Před 4 lety +27

    Hey Linus. If your wife is having motion sickness issues I highly recommend spending some time evaluating your graphics pipeline. I recently got an Index myself and started having motion sickness again (though I hadn't experienced it since my original DK2). And personally, I'm running a 1080 TI.
    Some things I recommend you try:
    1. Get an app called fpsVR from Steam and run it before the game. Check to make sure your frame rates really are what you think they are. Some of the tech in SteamVR can make you think there are more frames than they are, but this tech can also wreak havoc on those that suffer from simulator sickness.
    2. Open Steam VR settings and pay attention to the performance metrics. Especially pay attention to Reprojection and Motion Smoothing. If your rig is not able to keep up with the refresh rate of the display (90, 120 or 144) it will drop into one of these two modes.
    3. Reprojection is the worst because it's having to reuse old frames. This is also seen as Judder. But I personally believe that even Motion Smoothing was making me sick. Motion Smoothing tries to create new frames based on path prediction. But if, for example, you quickly turn your head, you may end up with a frame drawn on the predicted path rather than the actual path. I believe this is what was making me sick. I recommend turning Motion Smoothing OFF and reducing your quality settings until you hit the target frame rate.
    4. Check your quality settings. Both under the Frame Timing AND under the Application tab. If Frame Timing is 150% (the default recommended value for the Valve Index, BTW), all games will run at 150% even if their Application settings are at 100%. My 1080 TI was struggling to keep up with the default 150% metric, which was dropping it into Motion Smoothing. Again, I recommend turning OFF Motion Smoothing and turning your quality settings down (in-game, in the Steam VR settings or both) until your hardware can hit the target without assitance.
    5. Pick the right balance between 120 Hz and 144 Hz. 144 Hz will help with simulator sickness but at the cost of visual fidelity. If your wife is especially susceptible you might want to choose 144 Hz over the graphics quality. But that will be a balance that's up to her.
    6. Consider a graphics card upgrade. I will be switching to a 2080 TI soon, but even the much cheaper 2080 Super would allow you to render significantly more visual fidelity while also maintaining 144 Hz.
    Best of luck. I feel her pain, so do let us know what you find and I hope she's able to enjoy VR soon without the sickness!
