Quick &Crude Summary (see PRO/CON list further down)

Originally posted by FishTail:

Any PCVR is better than no VR (Quest can also plug into a PC as a PCVR). Avoid anything else (such as the Oculus Go or other toys)

If you DO have a PC w/ GTX 960 or better...
• If you want the best overall quality, consider the Valve Index first!
• If you want a low cost start with upgrade path to Index, consider a used OG Vive first

　& $200 off the Valve Index trick outlined 1/2 way down below!

• If want the lowest total cost, consider the Odyssey Plus
• If want the portable & reasonable starting cost, consider Quest 2 or 3
　　　　(WARNING: pricey Oculus games, lower GFX quality, 'decent' tracking & 'Meta')
• If want the other used choices, consider the Rift S ($250?)
• If you want the LOWEST cost buy used PCVR (I started on a used $200 Vive & loved it)

If you do NOT have a PC w/ GTX 960 or better...
• A "pretty good" VR PC can be obtained for $400 or less and run 99% of all VR games
• A Quest is the "no-PC" choice (but pricey games, PC quality reduced, & 'Meta')
• Quest quality is "very good" when ran by PC wireless and even better with a cable, but still not "100% amazing" because it's a compressed signal and REDUCES the GFX quality, even on high GPUs. However most won't notice that. And many value portability over visual quality, and it isn't all that bad of a quality GFX in the end.

Where to buy WITHOUT price gouging?

High Level Summary (sorted by price)

► Click here for 2-Months VR Games (Arizona Sunshine, etc)

$150 = 👍👍Quest 2 (or if super cheap a Samsung Odyssey+ or other WMR)

It's at least 95% as fun as the more expensive options, and has fairly decent hand tracking quality. On PCVR they are great, but not on AMD GPU. The Quest is usually all you need.

$150 = 👍👍Vive (if used)

Best tracking, least portable, most game choices (paid and free), UPGRADEABLE ability that saves money, optional wireless add-on

$150 = 👍Oculus Rift S (if used)

Good if decent hand tracking quality is enough, if future upgrades are not that big of a concern, AND you fit the non adjustable IPD range.

$150 = 👎 PlayStation PSVR1 (old)

ONLY if you have a PlayStation and don't mind a greater long term cost, significantly REDUCED fun/experience/tracking, reduced visual quality, and much fewer games

$500 = 👍👍👍Oculus Quest 3

Good if you don't have a GTX 1060 or better PC, or wireless is more important than personal identity and data, & graphics, & long term game cost. The no-controller hand tracking shows unique potential. FREE Quest Steam Link, or USB solutions and $20 USB-C cables open some more capability (listed below). Note that on AMD GPU the PCVR quality is likely degraded.

$550-$1100 = 👍👍 PlayStation PSVR2

ONLY if it is made able to do PCVR (might be working now❕). Or PS5 is about $500 + PSVR2 is about $600 for $1100 total if you use a PlayStation and don't mind a greater long term cost, significantly REDUCED fun/experience/tracking, reduced visual quality, and much fewer games

$500 to $800+ = 👍👍👍Valve Index * (Special deal with HLVR)

Best consumer choice. One of the best screens & FOV, 360-degree tracking, comfort, sound, gfx, & overall quality on a bigger budget (can use older base stations), most game choices (paid & free)
• Click here for Steam Page (helps group rank even if don't buy)
* $200 off the Valve Index FULL system trick! (see below)
* $500 HMD upgrade option if already have Vive setup

$600 = HP Reverb G2 👎(Steam page)

Future alternative with better specs than the Rift S, but TBD testing results.

$700 to 1,200 = 👍👍 Pimax 5k

Largest 200 degree field of view, but many down sides beyond that one upside

AMD GPU with Quest PCVR
• AMD GPU significantly reduces quality of PCVR on Quest 1 & Quest 2. And possibly on Quest 3 also.
• See this comment in the replies for more details:

Originally posted by pxel:

PSA: For PCVR (Link) with a Quest 2 (and likely 3) I would avoid AMD GPUs. Most current AMD cards tend to produce a worse experience in VR compared to their NVIDIA counterparts, primarily due to the encoders present on the GPU but also because of other factors like driver support (or lack of it.) I have personally... For more detail, read....

You DON'T have a PC w/ GTX 960 or better...
• If you don't have a PC, and prioritize short term cost & portability over high quality & data privacy, consider the Quest 2.
• Realize however that even when plugged into a PC, the video quality is reduced vs other PCVR setups. But for the headset money, it's amazing. However games can get expensive if they are not via Steam. As well, the hand tracking with controllers is not as good as the Index/Vive/Rift options (though is pretty good, and good enough for 98% of the time)
• Also realize games on the quest tend to cost more, have reduced video quality, and have reduced choices of games.
• 'Meta' adds complexity and privacy and restrictions. Some who try to cheat that have had their headset and games deactivateby Meta.

Stronger GPU!

• Many say a GTX 960 is ok but approaching "quest quality" (low end).
• Many say a GTX 1060 is "fun enough" for most entry level VR gameers in 2020.
• A GTX 1660ti is prety good and certainly "decent enough" for most games and recommended. However more power is always better!

As someone who owns the Samsung Odyssey+ (and has owned a Rift and a PSVR) I can tell you it's simply amazing for the price. If properly configured (see my WMR Tips and Tricks thread) it's tracking is in the 95-99% range and for the price it's optics are insane. To get an OLED screen and AKG headphones for roughly $200 if you shop around is just nuts!

[TRAMPASAURUSREX]

Another point worth mentioning about the Samsung Odyssey plus is the huge sweet spot compared to other headsets. With the right adjustments, There is 100 percent screen usability all the way to the edges. For some with odd shaped faces an aftermarket facepad may be needed to get closer to the lenses more comfortably.;

[Wunder Wulfe]

For full body tracking, there are a lot of different alternatives. You can use things from smart camera sensors to other VR controllers to tracking pucks and suits. While I don't have any experience with suits and controllers, I have been using a Kinect for quite some time. This video is a very good comparison between low, medium, and high budget tracking systems:
https://youtu.be/ERyHRpDGHlc
As for the kinect, you need quite a bit of room as it needs to be at the very front, and also some way to elevate it to about neck or near height, but also at an angle as the sensor needs to be able to clearly see the direction of the feet and keep most of the body in frame (at least the lower body). The tracking isn't great but it is decent. You won't be able to do dances and flips and all that stuff, even if you do other things like wear LED or neon colored bands. It can however track very simple movement of the body, nothing too fast, and nothing too crazy or confusing (like crossing your legs, sitting sideways, or standing backwards) but it is one of the cheapest fullbody tracking solutions out there, especially if you already own a kinect. Used kinects can be fairly low cost and adapters to USB or other ports are also low cost. I, myself, am getting pretty tired of the restrictions and issues with kinect tracking and am planning on switching to tracking pucks when I can save enough for them, but if this is something you want to try, I recommend it because of the price and budget, especially if it is just something you wish to try or if it is a temporary solution.

As far as tracking pucks go, they are definitely one of the best solutions out there. They are less expensive to set up than suits (currently! this may change!!) and I have tried them before at college. They are very very accurate, as long as at least one of the sensors or stations can see the tracking puck. You must also make sure that the pucks don't get obscured by clothing and that there are little to no reflective surfaces around your playspace as those could create "deadzones" where tracking might be messed up or ignored. This is just due to how the tracking system works as reflective surfaces will bounce the infrared from the sensors.

first if you never experienced VR and afraid to get it because its so close to your eyes and think it will hurt.it wont hurt at all the lenses are alot less harmful to eyes than any monitor.And if your afraid of getting motion sickness theres plenty of 180 degree games that dont induce that.
if looking for low budget HMD odyssey+ oculus rift cv1 are both good options for the price 200-250$ but colors arent the best also if they are really bad theres an option with nvidia you have to change to fix that i even saw people using psvr on pc for some games probably dont work for most tho.
Now for the headsets i used and recommend to stay away 1. original vive because the controllers are big and heavy you wont have a good time. 2 Vive cosmos tracking is very very bad losing hands constantly and annoying you with messages in your face if room is too bright or too dark even if is fine,even if they fix it in the future the controllers are heavy uncomfortable use 4 batteries that run out in 1-2days in comparison to rift or rift s that use 2 baterries that last a week or more and its overall overpriced.
Oculus quest is pretty great but they willl release quest 2 that will be alot better so i would just wait for now if you want one capable to run without a pc.
My winner HMD for the price,quality and overall satisfaction is Oculus Rift S highly recommend it because it looks great,works great,has the least flaws,only minor ones like battery cage sometimes popping out when playing aggresively,setup is easy,tracking is wonderful really impressive for an inside out tracking only lost tracking 1 time in 2 months and even that was probably because of a mod in my game.controller as super light which is very important to me as i play games like beat saber and with heavy controllers my wrists cry from pain.Anyone interested in joining the VR side can pm me for more info and tips.

Awesome. Some great input and I love that you want to help others too! Glad you are getting active in the group chat.JoinUsInVR.com server too!

Can we jump in the VOICE channel in there sometime to talk through this all as I real-time update our master list up top?!?!? You can be playing in VR as I sit at the desk and type :D

[MrSalty101 [JoinUsInVR]]

Probably for any, but especially for the Index, the lenses are incredibly sensitive.
A little warning I heard too late is even a dirty microfiber cloth can leave scratches.
The microfiber cloths can be hand washed and air dried.
I also keep mine in a zip lock bag to avoid picking up dust.

Great idea on the bag!

When washing, what kind of soap do you recommend? Or is it best with just water since most
VR's so to not use chemicals? -thanks!

Most of the time you can just use warm water, not hot because it damages them. You shouldn't need soap too often unless you're using the same cloth to wash your car too. If you do use soap just use a very weak liquid soap, no strong chemicals, and rinse enough times for it to all be out of the cloth.

When you let it dry, just keep it separate of other laundry since it will pick up fabric from other kinds of cloth.

Best quest 2 add-on's...

Good list. Any thoguhts on the items listed in the page above? Like, which should be the "best" ones, and which the "alternative"?

Does ANYONE have any recent Quest 2 links to deals on the HMD, and accessories like USB-C cable, battery, etc?

...I'm thinking of getting a QUEST 2 so I can bring VR to people who can't come to my house to try my Valve Index. (and it would be a nice backup in case my index died unexpectedly after 3 years)

You could use air link if you were going to use the cable for data transmission

A nice, long cable for Quest Link for Oculus Quests.
