A few questions:So after trying for a couple of days since I got my DK2, I've almost reached the horrid conclusion that I can't use it. It gives me terrible motion sickness and brutal headaches, even in very relaxing games.
It's pretty gutting...
I'll give it a couple more days and see how I go
Speaking of standards, what's the likelihood of the consumer version sion have some sort of start-up virtual room? Like a simple room with a computer screen where you can operate your desktop or whatever, and the transition into the actual game is a literal change of scenery, with everything deconstructing and the game virtualizing around you. Did they say they were making some sort of standard interface to make it easier and more comfortable for the player?
At least you can sell it for more than you paid for it.So after trying for a couple of days since I got my DK2, I've almost reached the horrid conclusion that I can't use it. It gives me terrible motion sickness and brutal headaches, even in very relaxing games.

It's the resolution. Downsampling will help to clean it up a bit, but that can only go so far. Needs more pixels!
Interesting. That's quite unusual! Do you get travel sickness?As far as I know, yes i've set the IPD correctly.
Yeah, easily maintaining 75fps
That's what has brought me to this horrid conclusion, even using the desk demo i feel ill

This seems like the biggest drawback for cockpit-based games, which are otherwise my favorite things so far.
Same thing happens in real life, not that big a deal, IMO. Beyond a certain range, everything just looks "far". Granted, that limit is a lot farther given the acuity of our eyes (I don't know what the exact number is), but the same principle applies. We use other visual cues like perspective and our knowledge of scale to give us depth cues beyond that.
I think cockpit games are ones that are just *immediately* suited to VR, without having to rethink things much. They are relatively plug and play affairs, with the right control peripherals already in place. Other genres will need to involve more creativity and new ways of imagining these games. Weren't people able to play Half-Life 2 all the way through with a DK1?
Yes. Combined with a blink, so that I basically don't see the movement and appear facing a different way, this is very comfortable. However, keyboard movement is often too fast or jerky, even the 'walk' can be too fast for me. I like to move as slowly as possible so a left stick is better in this case.
They could, but I'm not sure that they should. When I say 'as slowly as possible' I mean I'm literally using the least amount of left stick travel that registers movement in order for it to be comfortable. Either that or I make very short sprints in a straight line while blinking a lot (so that I don't really see my movement to the next location where I can stop and look around comfortably again). Some games do have an unrealistic movement speed that should be addressed, but for me, even the ones that have realistic walking speed are too fast. I find FPS stuff is currently not a good experience. I either move at a reasonable speed and feel ill, or I move as slowly as possible and the game is unplayable (or takes forever to get anywhere).
I've been thinking about that, but I can't really think of a situation where I would need extra STEM packs. The base only tracks 5 things, and when wouldn't I be using both controllers?
Hmm, that would be nice, but I already bought the STEM Sixense. Not that they shouldn't make one, I'd just be a bit disappointed that the one I got isn't the mainstream option. If they do, I hope it's an affordable version of that finger setup. I don't want to pay $400 for both arms.
