"A Vive you say?"
Haha
"A Vive you say?"
This is the setup I've decided to go with. It's stable, secure, doesn't take up much space, and can easily be stowed away when not in use.

Don't the sensors have to be angled down a little? They look like they just screw into the top .
The Blu because it's totally awesome but only about two minutes long and all you have to do is stand there and take in a really awe inspiring experience. Specifically, the whale encounter.
If she's really into space and/or history then Apollo 11 would be an awesome followup. Again, it's just sit there and look at awesome shit but it is significantly more in depth and a longer experience.
Yeah, I went with this too and it works great
"A Vive you say?"
I definitely hit my TV and a painting yesterday while playing. No damage though.
One more mixed reality GIF:

£50 each in the UK...
Rather just drill the walls and fill the holes with toothpaste when I move out.

Oh, sorry. I thought you were talking about the base station power cables. How long are those?
Oh I have no trouble clicking them either, but I can't configure them as mouse clicks and use the trackpad as a mouse. The mouse always moved just a little bit when the click happens that it is never pixel perfect. Windows thinks I'm clicking and dragging the mouse, instead of just clicking. It happens because I set the mouse sensitivity super high. I'm one of those guys that plays with mouse sensitivity at 80% or higher
Yeah that makes sense. Clicking them requires just enough force that it makes subtle movements on the track pad pretty damn hard.

Yeah, these are what I want to get for my set up, but it'll end up being over $70 with the rods and clips.
F that. I wonder if i can find them cheaper locally.
Ended up going. It was actually only a kiosk in the mall but the guy there knew what he was talking about. He was going to the closest actual store tomorrow and is going to shoot me an email once he figures out when they may be getting them. I was also able to put in a reservation and he could get it shipped to the kiosk for me.

Yup, same here. Need to put click on another input to get accurate clicks.

Nice! Keep us posted. I didn't realize there are two MS stores in Orlando, but I'm not sure if they are both stores or not. I'd rather reserve from an actual store, although it probably won't matter.

Dude...that really, really sucks. I mean, I'm still waiting on a shipping email but I feel bad for you.

Get in your car and track him down if you can. Seriously. Just bring your ID along with you.

So still nothing for any of my fellow IL Vive compatriots, right? Just making sure I'm not alone on this island of misery and sadness.

Nope. And it appears that nobody in the US got a shipping notice today.
Nothing's going on.
Nothing on my end.
But one person on the reddit map in Northeast Illinois says they got shipping confirmation.

He looks like he only took it off because he's on the verge of death from malnourishment. When he put it on, is shirt was tight fitting and his face was clean shaven.

Looks like he's gonna throw up.
IL sufferer here. Nothing at all. No email. No hold on my acct or anything.
Thank God I have the Vive dk1 to keep me sane. Lol

The driver is just testing him. So far he has been proven as "not worthy".
I showed some people the google cardboard and they were amazed. I can't imagine what they'll do when the Vive is set up.
I actually have an empty unfinished room in my basement. I think it's like 11x11. I'm just going to put my PC tower down there with my old monitor and make it a vive station to show people. My room would just about be the minimum space. Might as well make use of it before I move out.

I can't check my order on the site. It asks for either my email and last five digits of my card, or order number and password. Whichever one I choose just takes me to a wrong information message.
I just came here to post this. It's the most amazing shit I have ever done and looks incredible. Great design idea to make it a physically small area with miniatures.
Here's one for the artists - do you think Lighthouse could be used as an input for illustration/photo editing? Not talking about Tilt Brush, just regular editing, but on a virtual easel or giant tablet.
Imagine a laser pointer extending from the controller as your mouse pointer, and you're interacting with the image at the intersection point. Pull trigger for pressure-sensitive input.
You'd rely on working on a zoomed image most of the time for precision work, but I think it could be useful.

Can't wait to join all you guys in VR... In May
Same here. May buddies. May buddies 4 life!!!
Well if he doesn't like BJs then, yeah, that's a bad surprise.

I almost just bought one on eBay for $1700.
Help me GAF. I'm starting to be irrationally obsessive about this. I almost literally can't stop checking this thread and r/Vive every few minutes.
Edit: oh my god there was just one for $1100 what is my life
