oculus rift

I own the original Oculus Rift and I just bought an Oculus Quest 2 (it hasn't arrived yet) thinking that I could plug it in to my computer using Oculus Link and I'd already have an existing library of titles to play considering all the games I purchased for my Oculus Rift. Unfortunately I just...

I've been playing an unhealthy amount of Blade and Sorcery lately. One thing I'm really missing is the use of two-handed weapons like the claymore. I know it's a skill deficit thing mainly; I can just not get my arms to act like they're both holding onto a single thing when they actually aren't...

I've had this problem for a while and I finally tracked down the source of the problem. I have the Rift that included the Xbox One controller and wireless adaptor. What I have found is that if I use the controller in a Rift game, after the controller hibernates, it will not re-connect to the...

Oculus Rift Owners Thread

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...

just got done playing about 2 hours of Lone Echo, my arms are pretty sore! This game is fantastic! It feels a little strange at first, the moving around, but after a while I was flying around walls and handles no problem. If you enjoyed the movie Gravity (the scenes without conversation and...

I was having some issues with the headset losing signal. It was either the cable or the port on the headset itself. It would get a signal, but with any movement it would keep going in an out. Also I had an issue with the left headphone not working. I submitted a ticket at 2 a.m on a Saturday...

I got my replacement sensor in today along with a usb 3.0 powered cord. I have 2 sensors in front and I put the 3rd directly behind me on the wall instead of to the side. I think it tracks much better when I am turned away from the front sensors. The side back position seemed to have a dead...
