Can you play sitting in a chair?

[🆂tartup🆃im]

I wouldn't want to get too much exercise standing and gaming. So... can you play while sitting in a chair? :)

Also, any CPUCores users representing?

Yes you can play on a chair. When i do i prefer my xbox one controller. I use a swivel chair and turn with my feet when need be.

When you switch to controller mode, it sets the camera higher so you can sit down and still be standing in the game.

If you want to do that with the Touch or Vive controllers, you need to manually change your height in the ini file.

Paradise Decay has it down...

He suggests setting this to 40, but 60 is the sweet spot for me. That puts me eye to eye with most NPC's.

Thanks for the feedback!

So if you're in a chair using VR, how exactly do you tell the game you're running forward?

A tall swivel barstool probably best for this.

Even standing, you don't churn your legs. If you select free move vs teleport, the left thumbstick (Rift) is movement. Press it in to sprint. Right stick left/right is body rotation, forward is jump and back is sneaking toggle.

The same way yu do when you're standing up..

Steam forums. Yikes.

If I plug my headset into the mains then try to play Subnautica in the bath will it affect my frame rate? :D

Thanks that is exactly what I needed to know! I will likely be getting VR initially just for Skyrim and had no idea how things worked in general.

Good plan, but be wary of the wire lol.

[Scorrp10]

I use ceiling wire suspention. Makes things a lot safer and hassle free.

Because chairs are comfortable. I use VR as an immersive screen, not so I can pretend to shoot a bow with my hands. That's all the immersion I need or want.

Standing in VR is not necessary. It has a touch of extra realism for height reasons but the headset alone is all the immersion anyone should really need.

Some people don't like standing or just prefer Seated VR instead of Roomscale VR.

VR is roomscale in my mind, so I don't get it really either, but if people want to sit, why not.

[Despiser]

Heck I even have a tub of water and realistic swimming active

[hyperion]

Yes. I highly NOT recommend it. I mean unless you have to for whatever reason. I spent my first day doing just that because I had sprained my ankle the day before. After I was able to stand, big improvement for me.

Horseback riding is a bit odd i think when standing , it just feels weird.
