    My channel is about VR Content (obviously lol) I've covered many topics on this channel in the past such as PC Building, PC Gaming Knowledge, Gaming News. That can be CPM rates, Industry knowledge, Business knowledge, how to edit, how to build a gaming PC, budget or not. But VR is cooler so I'm probably gonna keep doing that.
    I'm like the monkey you send into space for tests. I just come back with the results and give them to you for FREE.

I'll Usually Put The Headset On Followed By Double Tapping To Find The Controller On the Table Behind Me Followed By Actually Playing It.

    My personal tips are these:
    1. Night mode is easier on your eyes so turn it on if you’re experiencing eye strain
    2. I can get kind of motion sick after playing VRChat for a long time if I’m only using the controls to turn around. Whenever you are standing up while playing always turn around physically if you want to turn in game as it helps a LOT with motion sickness

      @@boogeraids1905 What kind of movement makes you nauseous?
      I get motion sick playing games where you use the joystick to move, however in a free hack-n-slash game called battle talent, they have you swing your arms like your jogging in order to sprint, and that makes me less nauseous because it feels more like I'm moving.
      I also like a game called tea for god, as it allows you to explore the game world without using joysticks at all using impossible spaces (commonly refered to as non-euclidian spaces).

      @booger aids definitely try to stay away from joystick movement. Try to see if the games that are causing motion sickness have an option for teleport movement, I've found it to be much better. You can also get used to joystick movement the more you play it, you just would have to play it in 10-20min intervals.

    My tip is when you trace out your guardian, draw a notch or bump in the direction you prefer to face that way you can reorient yourself by just reaching out to see your guardian. That way you don’t accidentally smash you controller into you wall or desk. Or now days you can trace a danger as “bring your couch into VR” I do it so I know where I can put my controllers down.

    One of my tips is that the ceiling is as important as the floor. Rooms with a very low ceiling are potentially more dangerous than walls because walls have a warning (gaurdiaj system) but there are no warnings stopping you from slamming your controller into the ceiling.

    My top tips:
    Have stuff around that still connects you to real life, it helps a lot for motion sickness in the beginning.
    For example;
    - A mini carpet that is different texture than floor around it under you (also helps you to know where you are in the room)
    - A fan that is blowing a little breeze (also helps you to know which direction you are facing)
    - A smart band/watch that can give you notifications through phone (You time it 1-2 hours depending on your wants and it vibrate every 2 hours so you give a little break)

  • @Valariel
    @Valariel 2 роки тому +31

    I've been using the standard foam face cover for about 2 years and it's absolutely fine. I just wash it every few play sessions and it has never bothered me and I find it more comfortable than a silicone cover. I put a little bit of dish soap in a bowl of warm water, submerge the face cover (detached from headset of course), and squeeze the soapy water in and out of the sponge, rinse, dry, and its good to go. The instructions on the face cover say not to wash it with soap, but again, I have been doing this for about 2 years without issue.
    Edit: I also have the elite strap (purchased after they changed the manufacturing) and it has not broken after about 1.5 years of use. Love the extra battery life.
