Valve should partner up with them for 1st party SteamVR support. It has good hardware and would be a good stop-gap replacement for the aging Index while Valve’s next gen headset will still take some time to be released most likely.
And bring first class Linux support along with it, since the options there are pretty sparse, although getting better with the Monado project in particular.
I wish there was a place where I could try before buying.
I tried an occulus dev kit a long time ago which made me horribly nauseous. I know vr has come a long way since then so I’d love to see if the improvements are sufficient to make it usable for me now or if I’m just doomed to motion sickness with goggle displays.
For what it’s worth I think a lot of the nausea goes away the more you play. When I started I couldn’t do more than 15 min sessions at first for a week maybe. The other thing I figured out was having a fan and cool air blowing on me made it way better.
If my games from the first psvr were backwards compatible, I would have bought one already.
Now I’m waiting to get one for cheaper.
