Economic method to try VR


The Falcon

Recommended Posts

To get something just to try - go to best buy and pick up a Rift S for the afternoon. Return if you aren't satisfied.

See if there is a Microsoft store nearby. Those also have headsets and a decent return policy.

 

Outside of that, I don't know the locale.

Hello. can you tell me which is the most economical way to test vr? I don't necessarily mean games. Don't answer me things like buy oculus on amazon then return it etc ... Thanks.

 

The most economical way to test VR would certainly be finding someone that has VR and let you try it out. That is the most economical way - and I did not even suggest you buy anything on Amazon.

 

Now if you want to expand further on what your interests regarding VR are it might help folks make suggestions.

Beware of consoles with the trying it out with someone who has it thing. Someone I know was trying to run PSVR on a non pro play-station and it was so crappy and sickness inducing he wrote off VR as completely unusable and sold it.

 

I successfully connected my PSVR to my pc using Trinus. Even though this didn't support 6dof and my pc at that time only gave me like 5fps, I was still blown away.

 

This experience was enough for me to save up some money and go all in. Bought all parts, build my pc and playseat, bought a 2nd hand cv1, installed DCS and I havn't touched any other game since.

System specs:

 

i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU

HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM

Oculus go?

 

It's not the cost of the headset -- not around here anyway, you can spend more than that on a joystick -- it's the computer to run it. Least with Go you don't have to buy the computer, and you'll get some utility out of it.

As others have stated just find a retailer that has demo units up and running. See if they would install DCS for you (free).
