I waited for a good headset for streaming from pc, battery in my pocket. Do I have to buy apple? (I will not)
edit: the battery is only 1/6 of the weight maybe not worth doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV6R1_5HE-4
@BuddyTheBeefalo I don't even think the new apple VR is going to be capable of any kind of PC gaming. Unless I missed something last I heard there wasn't going to be any interfacing with desktops. Eventually. Probably still a few years out for what I'm really looking for. Even further for something affordable probably
@Elegast123 @BuddyTheBeefalo of course it will. It runs apps. It runs iOS. Theres already iOS apps that does streaming SteamVR to an iPhone (for use with Cardboard or similar).
I don't think it's a good option due to the price, but it's going to be capable of doing it, especially now that it seems like the iVRy dev's attempts at PSVR2 for PC seem like a dead end due to hardware DRM, so they'll need to find a new project to build.
Probably not, I just cant believe they are the only company that has an external battery. I'd never buy apple.
@BuddyTheBeefalo except most people who use non-pc native headsets almost always also have an external battery added on except strapped to their head so they have like 3lbs on their head
A headset where the battery and the computing unit could be stored in my pocket, on my head only screen and lenses would be great.
