Chronicling VR makers.
Protecting its lenses in the VRChat can is still pretty tempting for Bigscreen Beyond 2. But that glow is inviting me to VR.

From top left clockwise we have Hopper, Ziggy, Kiki Underfoot and Batman.

They are all cats but Mr. Underfoot has an agenda.

Wireless VR is for losers.

I’m gonna yell “reel me in” like I’m stuck through the portal in Poltergeist.

I love that the only product name that the last commenter gets right is the one that is open source.

$100 battery & water bottle sling solves all standalone VR headset battery anxiety without added head weight for any standalone VR headset.

I’ve used a setup like this with 5 different high output batteries and slings of all shapes and sizes.

Wearing a lot of battery is fine, just not on head.

Inaccurate, I captured two videos of the magnets.

My wife got me a Virtual Boy like six months ago and held it till my birthday.

Observe, the IPD dial on the mid-90s desk-mounted VR from Nintendo.

I have installed and can run the OpenXR edition of Tilt Brush on Android XR. Unfortunately, it does not recognize that I am in a headset and serves me a flat version. Switch: "Not Like this".

I want Tilt Brush in my Google VR.

I was promised “immortality”.

The open source code for Tilt Brush lists SteamVR as a prerequisite. I can't find an APK listing in the open for Open Brush.

Google search on this headset told me to install Steam to this headset to get Tilt Brush.

Might go to Google HQ in Maps and throw birds because I can't express myself.
