Honestly this is THE BEST use for VRidge. For normal VR games you need some sort of tracking, and that can be done with some other software, a Kinect and some motion controllers, but for games where you sit in a cockpit you really don't need anything, and the degrees of movement a phone can give are more than enough to look around you.
Great to catch the first episode of the new season of Daley Tech... It feels like its been too long. Loved all the VR pro tips I picked up in this episode, like have a towel close by, and pre-heating the headset for less fog. What would we do without all your wisdom Chris..?
LOL.. glad I can help. I guess those tips were more like happy little accidents. I actually keep that towel there for another VR game I play which will most likely be my next video. Glad to see you're back as well. Cheers :)
Thanks! I can't wait for Star Citizen to bring VR support. I was reading that they have full intention to do so in the future once everything is up and running stable.
Maxmillyano Velozo Barbosa The GearVR 2016 and 2017 have an USB-C passthrough. (The white 2015 model didn't.) It only works with a USB-C phone, so Galaxy S8 or better.
All Gear VR users! It helps to get a really good quality wireless extender and connecting your phone to it, which in turn connects to the router if you have buffering issues because you'll get a stronger signal than just the phone alone if you play farther away from your routers
Good to see you back, I,ve also got the rift, but it,s still good to see riftcat, just need to see you on more often again, game reviews would be cool, especially none AAA games. Keep it up
Hey Alex. Glad to be back! Not sure how regular I'll be with uploads but I'll still try to stop in from time to time. If you have the rift and want non-AAA games, then my next planned video will be right up your alley.
Great to see you back, still need to give project cars VR a go. I've been playing around with the moonlight setting on my NOLO setup and it's been really smooth, only issue I'm having is from the NOLO kit causing some jitters.
ahh, I see. Thanks for letting me know how Moonlight is. Do you find it's a significant difference from not using moonlight? And is the tracking the same (when not using Nolo of course)
lol this so remind me of my driving in project cars as a new comer to sim racing ! hope your doing ok n can come back again., im grateful for your vids as i just got a oculus go of which so far ive managed to play assetto corsa in vr which was great even with only one good eye! ;P iv just ordered a kinect to go with it. :p
WOT YOURE BACK?!? YAYYY I found you awhile back then realized you quit UA-cam. You’re so professional and helpful. I bought a WMR and prefer that over psmove and stuff but you’re still enjoyable to watch.
It's amazing and blew my expectations away. I have the acer and it's held up great. My only qualm is the controllers losing tracking when not in view of headset. Superhot, and sometimes bow and arrow games need workarounds with hand placement but it's still 90% there with better visuals, plug & play nature and no screen door effect. The vive isn't perfect either (I got to try one a few days ago with two lighthouses) but it seems to work better with certain hand movements because of the nature of tracking.
Yay your back! BTW I bought the NOLO VR. But my trinus vr lags sometimes and has a slight delay. I know there is a moonlight option on the trinus vr. Does that work with the moonlight app? Or the trinus app because I bought the trinus app.
How do you avoid the Gear VR app to launch on your phone when it is inserted in the VR headset? Does VRidge block it when it is streaming (and you only have to insert it at that time) or are there app blockers needed to be installed on your phone (like it was necessary in the past)? Thanks for a sign back on this.
a bit of a tip, turn on the racing line, that will help you figure out your braking points much better, I personally use it the first few races on a track until I can learn exactly where to start braking, then I turn them off for racing sims. (On arcade I just either drift or just simply let off the gas, usually drift, because I can and there is no penalty.
Quick question on tweaking the settings in Project CARS 2 for VR... I recently picked up a Samsung Odyssey +, and have been amazed with how good it looks, but I have this annoying problem with pop-up track objects and parts of cars disappearing & reappearing. I'm not as familiar with PCARS2 as I am other sims, so what settings should I play with to fix this?
It almost sounds like textures are popping in and out. Could be either VRAM or disk speed but I'm just throwing darts here. If it's VRAM, you can try turning down the resolution, or decreasing the supersampling rate. You can also try to lower textures as well. If you're playing on a platter drive, try moving the game to an SSD perhaps. That's a very big game with some large textures so that does take a lot more than just CPU/GPU to drive correctly. Unfortunately I'm not deeply familiar with PC2 settings specifically, but these are generalized tips I'm just providing.
Great video, thx Man! Although there is an important part which is missing from the vid. How do you start the application itself? Do you have Steam version? I have all the things you mentioned, everything set as you suggested but can't start the game...
I had troubles getting the game going at the start. I changed a few things cause it just stayed on a black screen. I think I had to turn off the steam overlay for the game to get it working.
You may want to check out my video on how to optimize riftcat performance. There are many tips there to get you the best video quality and smoothest game play.
for me the performance is terrible on the 2.1 beta on the same configuration and network conditions I would use on 1.3.3. keeps artifacting and getting stuck
That's not good! Have you tried to email their support? Perhaps with log files they may be able to solve it for you or get a bug added to their tracker.
Hi, I'm considering buying a mobile VR device like Gear or Go for sim racing. However, I only have a GTX 750Ti. It's good enough to run Project Cars 2 on my PC smoothly, but do I need a VR-capable graphics card (i.e. 1070>) to be able to play in mobile VR devices? I understand the requirement was for the Rift and Vive, but does it also apply to mobile VR if I'm streaming using Vridge? I'm asking due to budget constraints. I would have to spend a lot of money if I have to buy a new graphics card and the Rift/Vive.
The requirements are slightly lower cause you will stream at a lower framerate (60hz), and you can also lower the resolution down to 1080p so it makes it much easier. 750ti is pretty much at the lower end of the scale, but if you can keep decent framerates at 1080p with that, then you may be good to go. You can always give it a shot with the free trial.
Hi, I do still check these from time to time :) And if I get my hands on it, I think that would be a great idea. I know riftcat is working on support for the Oculus Go so if that gets working correctly I think nolo should be fine with it since they natively support Nolo.
Welcome back! I get your interest in the PSMoveService/Riftcat but nowadays if you want to play steamVR on the cheap you're better off just buying one of the WindowsMR headsets. Unless you already have a lot of the components need for a PSMove Service setup. For example, I paid a little over $150 when I put together my PSMoveService setup while a WinMR bundle can be easily found for around $200 shipped for a MUCH better experience. With almost no setup required. I am grateful for the PSMove service, it's what got me into VR in the first place, but, it's become almost irrelevant at this point.
its still relevant in some places, like, in my country(argentina) the cheapest wmr is 680 dollars while the cheapest psmove/riftcat services (without the phone) is around 140ish dollars.
same here...I got used ps move controlers with camera for 37,5 and other cameras for 12,5usd each...so still much much cheaper then mixed realitz whic is 500usd in stores....I am from Czech Republic
Hey man hopefully u can help me out here. I have a new gear vr 2017 edition with controller I have downloaded vridge to the oculus software and got it all going i managed to launch steam vr through the first option when launching riftcat. For some reason now I cant use riftcat steam vr because it asks me for base station and doesn't register the gear headset. Please help lol I wanna play through steam vr not gamewarp
Heres a question. Im using mixed reality and i wanted to make a vive tracker with a move. I paired my stuff but i couldnt see my eyes and my move.. WHATS HAPPENING?
Hey delay so i was wondering how the latency is with the kinect and driver 4 vr...ive been suing that set up for a while but ive been having trouble playing fast paced games like beat saber and super hot
Using this setup will always have a bit more latency than an HDMI attached HMD. The only things I can think of to help with latency is to possibly bring your bitrate down by 1 or 2, make sure you don't have unneeded USB bandwidth along side the kinect happening, and trying to adjust the tracking on the headset towards the side where it lowers latency but allows a bit more jitter. One or more of those may give you a little more response but as I said, you can't get rid of all of it.
Daley Tech thanks that helped a lot So do you think you could test out whether beat saber is playable with this kind of set up ? Like i said its virtually in playable for me but if you get different results maybe it might be a problem with my pc or something like that
Daley Tech also I get almost no latency with the hmd the latency is more with the kinect (I'm using a 10ft usb cable so that's why I don't have a lot of latency and stuff )
Sad to see no PSEyes peeking from behind you. I hope this inspires the PSMoveService guys to finish the saught after Kalman filter. Your Riftcat setup runs buttery smooth compared to mine. What phone did you use in this vid?
I try here.. I have 5ghz wifi.. Galaxy s 8+.. Gear vr and can't make it run in high fps... Is just pixelated and lagging all the time. I have gtx 1080ti and 17 8700k. Also I try with moonlight but don't work with gear vr
I'm not sure if that's possible. I would assume it would be have not tested. I just started to use the quest with it and it's using its native refresh rate of 72
@@DaleyTech I contacted riftcat, current version allows 90 fps by editing of ini file. You just have to own one of the few phones on market with 90hz screens.

Hello friend are you try Riftcat with OCULUS GO?¿?, it works almost as bad like in GEAR VR, I cant with the JITTER and lag, I wait a OCULUS GO version, I hope a stable version anyway.... great video like allways
Thanks! I know Oculus GO is on their radar and it's their goal to get it working there. That along with an HDMI output.

Yes but it has to work like gear VR via wifi 5ghz with a router, conecting 866mb, I think they cant with its own app, they cant optimice more nor with moonlight. It coul be a revolution if they do a good version for OCULUS GO

It compatible with asseto corsa, dirt rally 2.0 and euro truck simulator??
WOOOOOW YOU'RE BACK!!!! nice hearing from you
Thanks!
yo its 2021 and this is still a game changer
When using VRidge with my GearVR, I use an USB-C ethernet adapter to get better performance than WiFi.
I still need to test that out. I heard it works really well.
How do you connect the USB-C on gear VR? Don`t you have to connect the phone on the oculus?
Maxmillyano Velozo Barbosa The GearVR 2016 and 2017 have an USB-C passthrough. (The white 2015 model didn't.) It only works with a USB-C phone, so Galaxy S8 or better.
Good! I have one GearVR 2017 and one Galaxy S8. I will try it. Thanks!
@@zomby2d i got a gear vr for s7 but it got a usb c port, will it work

Make a new full tutorial pls... I have lot of bugs now, with old tutorial.
I managed to get it work based on 3rd edition but I must admint I did some custom changes here and there
YES, you are back!!! :) You know what would be cool to try? Beat Sabre on Nolo and on PS Move how well it would track the movements
I own beat saber and will give it a shot with Nolo. That sounds like a great idea.
I am thinking to buy it but I only have ps move..not sure it will be playable..but in worst case I can refund the game
PS move controllers are great and in a lot of ways, I like their performance better than nolo when it's all up and running.
Good to know, nolo in cz is quite expensive niether to say that my wife does not like vr she think is bulshit
