Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I haven't jumped into the VR pool yet, but I was thinking about wiring up some category cable/jacks for the future. For now, none of the basestations are POE enabled, but I'd hope we get there. In the mean time, has anyone attempted this setup with something like this: Tycon Systems...
Best headset for sit down sims racing/flying/space?
Would like 6dof to be able to look around things in an aircraft cockpit.
Which does it better, the Oculus or HTC or other? Which has better sensors for this? Don't plan to move out of my seat.
The crew over at Teague Labs get huge props for bringing back one of the worst things that Nintendo ever did by making it look like it actually works this time, with the HTC Vive! This is not some rudimentary software hack either, the Teague guys took their time and outfitted the Nintendo Power...
Morning all. So now that the Rift is 399 I'm thinking about going to Best Buy and grabbing one. I know the new Santa Cruz will be available MAYBE in 2018 and I can always sell and upgrade then if need be.
What else do I need to get? The sensors yes and how many? I'm guessing I'm sitting in a...

Hey guys I've been messing around for a year with my VR headset and decided I could do something dope to display/hold my headset when it wasn't on my head.
My sister went to hair dressing school (not a drop out, awesome). We had a bag full of heads that ended up behind my mustang so I stole...
If you are looking into buying a Vive for awesome VR gaming, HTC is looking to sweeten the deal with including a free Steam key for the yet-to-be-released Fallout 4 VR. If you already own a Vive, you can use your Fallout 4 VR purchase and get three months free to Viveport, which includes...

Thought some of you may want to weigh in on this. Pimax is offering a Kickstarter pre-order of sorts (with delivery as soon as December 2017 , or into 1H 2018 for a new VR HMD.
There are multiple display versions from the "lite" 5K version (which is 2x 2560x1440 displays, natively...
so I just got a merge headset for mobile VR on my iphone 6s plus just started to fool around with it yesterday. I was thinking of getting a pimax 4k but also waiting on the Windows Mixed Reality sets.
How much better and noticeable would the video quality be going from Mobile VR to something...
Digital signal, 1s and 0s, only if defective, etc.
Now that that's out of the way, I did my own little blind test where I kept the HMD on and my wife would randomly connect either the default HDMI or the adapter. I am a rational and skeptical person, but there is a major quality increase when...
I was reading that they are going to remake Fallout 4 into VR using the core game.
So they are going to lose quite a bit of money they could be making from the Oculus crowd.
I read something about a lawsuit from Zenimax or some crap. Who cares. I thought that they
would rather make money than...
TLDR; It's worth the cost. Be sure to update your prescription and get your eye distance measured.
Some of us are pretty blind without our glasses. I'm one of you. So Here's a long overdue review for what I went with to fix the problems.

I got rift in recent sale and Even though it looked ok, there was this film grain over part of the screen. Totally ruining black scenes or just dark scenes. The "dirt coat" even made normal color image look somehow worse.
I disabled "SPUD" in registry and it totally removed mura calibration and...

Having spent the last few days tinkering with this, I have to say I am SHOCKED how well it works. Using my Moto X pure (1440p) phone and a good set of google cardboard oculars, picture is pretty well on-par with my experience using an oculus. Since it is...
I have an Asus VR laptop GL502 series that has four usb 3 ports, but one is a usb c. Looking at Amazon there seems to be mostly oriented at Macs which I don't use. Anyone here point me to a link for one that has a cable don't like the kind that just plugs directly into the c port. Think with a...

Been out of the loop with VR and haven't kept up with the developments or what's happening. But last weekend I tried my brother-in-law's Vive room scale setup and loved it and the wife told me I could buy a system. I'm seeing the deep discounted Rift package and honestly don't know which way to...
Really fun game if you were a fan of the original Operation Wolf with the light gun in the arcade. They really upgraded it and it works well in VR. It's still mainly on the rails kind of shooter but it's well worth the price especially now with a 30% off since it just came out of Early Access.
This article talks about a range of tech being used in the medical field with a bit of focus on VR. The gist is that doctors and other health professionals have declining levels of that impact patient satisfaction. Who would have thought that not giving a damn about the person you are...
