1. Don't use a lens pen
2. Don't use a leaf blower lol
Here's what I've been using for years on my camera lenses and Vive:
Rocket air blaster <$9
Purosol <$9
Kimwipes <$6
1. Blow off debris with a rocket blower while the lenses are pointing down, so debris falls out, not further inside. Confirm that there's no particles, or else they could scratch the lens when you wipe.
2. Spray a Kimwipe a couple times with the cleaning fluid. Don't spray right on the lens.
3. Starting in the center of the lens with the wet Kimwipe, wipe in a circular motion and make bigger circles until you've reached the outer edge.
4. Take a fresh Kimwipe and dry off the lens.

Rush of Blood is his favourite game. Good lad. It's awesome.
You're not alone. I didn't expect to feel effects so heavily.

My bad. I forgot about London staying open. Also, I am really glad to hear DC VR is getting some Pro love. Is there a link to that?

What is this guy talking about?
Until Dawn is not 30 dollars and Batman IS 20 dollars.
Alright, so after trying all available demos, I kinda made the weird call to make Harmonix VR my first VR purchase. There are several other games I am really interested in, but for now I would just like to focus on this, as I read some reviews before I bought it and most people are trashing it to hell and back.
The easel mode is genuinely awesome and the best VR feeling I have encountered so far. Its a 3D drawing application with the strokes reacting to the music. To get the bad out of the way: The rest of Harmonix VR is kinda... pointless, which is also the reason why most reviews turned out so incredibly negative. Most of the other stuff is actually pretty shitty, so I will likely never do much in those modes, but I came back to that 3D drawing again and again and again. Drawing around me feels so much more vivid in VR than any of the other VR experiences managed to be so far. Its still a bit janky and probably overpriced for what it is, but omg do I love this ... lets call it application instead of game.
This is making me want Dreams VR sooooo much. If you are a creative type and you like doodling around with different brushes and whatnot, definitely try the Harmonix VR demo. Unfortunately, you will need to finish the pointless first level first, but in the Easel mode, you can already check if this is something for you or not.
I made some screenshots to share, but keep in mind that its of course not even remotely as interesting to look at them as screenshots (and drawing them yourself is even better). I usually tend to load up my playlist with stuff from the USB stick and draw something that the first random song inspires me to.
I really wish Harmonix would continue to expand on this, as this is genuinely the only "game" so far that drags me out of reality into this little VR world that I interact with.

I'm about done ordering expensive electronics products from Amazon....I fucking hate how they out source their customer services....just a waste of time.
but I wanted to get an extended warranty for my PSVR...the rep finally suggested Square Trade...but I read somethings that have me cautious to use them for this product.
I wish Sony had that same option they did with tbe PS4 protection plan on their PSN Store. :/

Yep. After trying that I really wanted a full blown sculpturing tool. I would spend hours in that.

I have zero creativity and I love the easel.
It's in my Top 5 VR experiences so far.
My girlfriend is crazy creative and I want to get her plugged into this tonight and see what she comes up with. Glad to see people are messing around with this and hope it doesn't get overlooked. Also..I love the dancing puppets.
Dreams is gonna be the end of us both.

Everyone see the VR game announcement on the PlayStation blog for "Tethered"? Looks like it might be in line to scratch the itch the playroom demo and Wayward Sky have started. Comes out next week.
Personally, I want to see more, but I'm interested by their preview nonetheless.

I was on the fence before even though I loved this. You just sold me this title. I had a lot of fun with the demo and when the easel mode ended I was like NOOOOOoooo.
batman and Harmonix music then. I'm waiting for my $15 from PSN.
Spent so much on games this month.I have the old camera from the launch bundle, i have occasional tracking issues although nowhere near as bad as what some people seem to be describing.
I think mine would be seen as "minor", but it's more than enough to cause some nausea. I'm considering uploading video clips. I'm hoping people can pinpoint what's causing it.
Not sure if related, but I was sitting about 1 meter closer to the TV today, which resulted in some random jittering that was also causing some nausea for me. This didnt happen in my first 4 days when I was sitting 1 meter further away.

Tried that World War Toons game.
Guess Im done with VR for the night.
Worse control scheme of any game I played this week. Rigs made me queasy..Toons gave me a instant splitting headache. Fuck that game.

I got my first major tracking issues last night when i tried to play the Wayward Sky demo, My move controllers would drift something awful and my headset would suddenly lose positional tracking. That shit was not fun! The weird thing is I tried again just now after getting home from work and my tracking is rock solid again!
I'm starting to think that the first initial setup with the reversed value picture is super important to keeping accurate tracking.
I cant even find a match in War Toons.
I haven't tried it yet, but WWT reminds me of one of those dumb mobile games retrofitted to work with VR. It probably hits the framerate threshhold, but not much else.

You would think somebody who does fucking youtube VLOGS for a living wouldn't be too lazy to fact check before they hit the record button.
This is has happened to him on other videos before.
I hope they don't actually mean "details", outside the car in DC VR the resolution is so low I can't make any details out at all.

Consider yourself lucky.
Aiming with your eyes, right stick does nothing. Turning on L1/R1.
I played the training yeah odd controls.

I picked the heavy and had no idea what was going on. Stood on a ramp, got one kill, spun around to run back, turned off my PS4.
Felt like this jerk:

Haven't really seen it mentioned here yet, but if you own Hatsune Miku Project Diva X for PS4 there was a free update a couple of days ago that added VR to the game.
It lets you watch a couple of concerts in VR. Pretty cool stuff.
Also, anybody knows if that Hatsune Miku VR game thing on the store is just more of this or is there something else to be experienced?
Sitting up, although i kinda sucked at the game.

The demo was interesting enough to make me purchase this as well even though I shared your feelings for the other modes; Shortly after playing it normally I regretted my purchase, a rarity for me.
Then came your post.
Those are amazing, thank you for showing it was my imagination that was limited and not just the core set of tools you get. I'd love to see more basic tools but you've inspired me to give this another chance. Great work.
Standing if you've got enough room away from the camera.

Just finished Rush of Blood. It was an awesome experience and a totally fun game; however, that final level was not fun at all. The tentacle portions were obnoxious as hell. Still, I really enjoyed this one.
I also played through Batman: Arkham VR and I loved it, but man that was WAY too short. They need to make a long, fleshed out version of this game. There was some potions that were downright intense here. Shame it lasts only about an hour.

daaamn! holy shit i need to get this
It's a stationary game, where you use head tracking to aim, kill waves of enemies like space invaders. It's pretty bare bones but it actually works very well.
Fallout 4 and DOOM VR need to hurry up.

Doom is coming to PSVR?
DOOM VR probably isn't coming to anything. It was just a tech demo thing where it puts you into the environments from DOOM 2016. It wasn't announced as a game or experience for any platform.
Glad to hear! I am mostly using it as a chillout/zone out thing every night atm. Putting on random music that I love and just doodling around with the brushes really helps me getting into the groove. I didnt have a decent idea today, so I started off by sketching a sphere above me, just through the circular motion of my arm. Turns out it looks like a bird nest and I went from there.
I havent felt this feeling of unliberated scribbling for scribblings sake in ages.
Well just played through all of Rez and after doing the advanced calibration (eye distance and light tracking) it was flawless. No signal drops either (dunno if that was the issue).
I will say, if you ever want to know how it feels to be an actual Final Fantasy character or Phantasy Star 2 during the last boss, play Rez Area X final boss.
Aww...well that sucks...
