Our general's purpose is to discuss Virtual Reality games and technology.

VRChat currently makes up the bulk of the thread content since its focus on user generated content and user interation means it can eat up a lot of your time if that sort of thing interests you.

The most popular hangout is VRChat, the metaverse's very own Mos Eisley; where anons can finally be the little girl™. A good amount of thread content originates there from screenshots, events, /3/DCG, exploran, etc. It's recommended you check out a meetup at least once to get the full /vrg/ experience. As it's a natural meeting place, a significant amount discussion and planning that would normally happen in a general takes place there. As you can imagine on occasion some shitposting does spill over don't feed trolls like a fag just report and ignore. If it gets too bad things can be improved through these filters: https://pastebin.com/0AdqzCr4

You'll want a fairly good computer to keep the framerates steady, but the minimum requirements aren't as high as you may think.

You can use the SteamVR performance test to get an idea of how good your computer is for VR:

However that is far from being all our general is about, your are encouraged to LURK MOAR and draw your own conclusions. Regular game lobbies get posted very consistently and game discussion is always present. If you find a cool VR game you'd like to play post about it and you'll likely get a few anons interested. There are very few other places on the internet with such a large concentration of VR enthusiasts.

The current PCVR headsets are the Rift S and the Index, and your best bet is probably to pick up one of these.

Windows Mixed Reality headsets or used Rifts/Vives are still out there too if you're looking for a cheaper PCVR option.

Oculus Quest is mostly intended as a standalone headset, but can also be used with a PC through Oculus Link.

VR will tax your toaster like nothing else will. Unlike any other gaming experience you've had before you will feel that cinematic 24fps in your gut.

For a PC based headset the Valve Index is currently the best in class and allows for easy integration of full body tracking.

While the Quest 2 has great specs for the price there are other issues that prevent us from currently recommending it, see the section below.

If you're looking for cheaper PCVR check out some WMR options, these run the gamut from CHINESIUM to ENTERPRI$E CLASS. They will generally suffer from poorer tracking however, YMMV.

#--- REGARDING THE NEW OCULUS TOS ---#
37
38
If you now purchase any "Oculus" device you are buying into the Facebook ecosystem. For any new purchases you will be -required- to link a Facebook account to your headset and abide by their stringent TOS. Using a fake account may result in your headset being bricked and there are some reports of this already happening. https://uploadvr.com/facebook-response-to-quest-paperweights/
39
There is however the possibility that the Quest 2 may be jail-broken in the future and if that happens we'll update our recommendations appropriately. Until then you would be a complete fool to give Zucc your shekels, personal info, and preference in VR anime tiddy.
