Switch?

[Ichigo Akimoto :3]

Would it be possible to bring the game to the switch? xD

I'm not sure the switch is powerful enough to handle virtual reality

[Ichigo Akimoto :3]

Sadly i dont know the hardware :c

The Switch doesn't have VR at all. There is a console mod that unlocks an unused VR mode but there's zero chance Nintendo is ever going to licence a game that requires a console mod in order to be played.

And even if you travelled to some alternate dimension where they did, there isn't a tracking solution for the VR mode. There's only some weird $50 Google Cardboard-like headset and the JoyCons which aren't adequate for this type of game (or any type of VR game that requires 6dof or motion controls, honestly).

And if the game wouldnt be VR? With joycons and a simple monitor it would be fine for me :)

this game cannot work on a monitor, even if the controllers were capable of the necessary precision, which they are not.

it would not be possible to play beat saber on a flat screen, you need the depth perception, and 6dof head movements.

it is coming to the PS4, so if you have a PS4 you should get a PSVR if you really want to play.

if you dont have a PS4, you should think about getting a cheap WMR set, you can find them under $200 in some cases. of course you also need a PC capable of playing, which isnt hard, beat saber can run very well on a 1050ti. it is not a very demanding game.

if none of the above is a possibility for you, then you're just gonna have to start saving your pennies and make it happen, or just settle for watching videos.

ok thx for the info ^^ Im about to buy an oculus rift. I've just wondered if it's possible. ^^

I can only see with one eye, so I lack the common understanding of Depth Perception, and I can still play the game without a problem. There are enough 2D cues in the game. Therefor I doubt it would be that hard to play the game on a screen... The Joycon-Part is another thing though. It's a real shame, would have been awesome :S

when i say depth perception, im not just talking about sterioscopic vision, which is what the effect you get with two angles of vision comes from. it also has to do with the movement of your POV in space.

despite having one working eye, you're still able to move your POV around inside the game with 6 DOF and therefore still have an awareness of depth and location within space that you cannot get on a flat screen.

They're planning something it most likely wont be vr tho
and the joy cons could do the motion tracking easily

Notice at the end how even though he's moving the controllers side to side, the sabers on screen only rotate and do not change position.

Wouldn't it be possible to put on a custom strap on the joycons that can give them motion controlls and tracking? The straps should be able to send at least SOMETHING because the switch can charge them very easily.

[Poison Dart Frag]

You would need extra hardware to perform position tracking; I'm not aware of any thing like that for the Switch, but I've not been following the scene too closely.

[Poison Dart Frag]

Maybe you could use the camera on the right joycon combined with some IR LEDs sorta like how what the Wimote did; but that is just for the right joycon, and from what I've seen so far, seems the camera is much worse than the Wiimote's.

Well there is this.
