Your phone is probably refreshing at 30Hz (or using energy economy "on"), and if it is LED/LCD technology there is a inexorable blur effect associated to the lighting persistance. OLED have better response time. I have got a headset like this, my phone is 1080p, so the half definition (540) for each eye. With a 4K OLED phone running at 90Hz or more that must be awesome (2K per eye). But a phone like that probably cost more than an occulus XD If you have already a good PC and a pretty high end smartphone it is a must have, I think. You can find good headset for 30€ + this software at 15€, good deal ! By the way it is a cheap introduction to the VR world. PS : don't pay attention to my grammar, I do my best.
30Hz? What phone has a 30Hz screen? LED is as LCD as you are right. inexorable blur effect - If you go way too cheap on the IPS-panel, maybe, otherwise NO. 540 for each eye - Almost. I'd say about other 10% of picture real estate is lost at the borders. Also, 540 is pretty darn sharp to view it on a phone at a moderate distance for most footage. BUT, in this case it'd be zoomed so much that it'd come close to covering 90 degrees of your FOV, so it'd be no big surprise it'd be a giant pixelated mess. I'd say arcade-grade graphics. cost more than an occulus - Sure, as it contains so much more (expensive) hardware and will provide much more potential to aid you productively, even though not nearly as fun.
One thing to keep in mind if using this to "test out" VR, this method ONLY offers 3 degrees of tracking and DOESN'T do positional tracking, which makes a big difference in your VR experience. I used to use my PSVR in a similar way before I could afford a Rift. Using the PSVR only offered rotational tracking and not positional tracking since there was no way to hook up the playstation camera (the tracking sensor) to my computer. It worked and worked well, but the addition of positional tracking (once I could afford my Rift) made all the difference in the believability of the experience, and actually made me feel like I was in the cockpit, especially when I got up and walked around! TL;DR - I WOULD NOT base my experience of VR based on this solution, however, this can give you a very basic understanding of VR "IF" you know it's shortcomings.
I think I am bolloxed as far as any VR goes, being both short sighted and having age related Presbyopia, needing varifocal glasses to deal with it. Pain in the arse to be honest.
I tried this recently with my S8+ and gear VR and found it to be quite unusable. The screen door effect and is way too noticeable, you can literally count the pixels and trying to read text is practically impossible.
If you couldn't position the lenses correctly at all then it's not really a problem with the software at all but rather your phone, the connection, and/or your headset fitting your phone. the S8+ is quite high res and I think my Samsung A50s and S6 suffice and I don't notice much screen door effect, but maybe that's either due to a better connection or simply better headset fit.
Hi, would it be possible to do VR racing with this? I have a G920 steering wheel set so I'm wondering if it's compatible or possible to set up for a game like Dirt Rally 2.0?
VR is not for everyone considering the crispness of the image as it is right now. It's more like a tradeoff between game immersion and image quality especially in ED. Stuttering is a serious issue based on my expirience. I still can't drive SRV for more than 20 minutes if you are saying cardboard is worse than Rift not sure if it actually worth the investment. And yes HTC Vive is not better than Oculus again from my expirience i tried them both before i bought Oculus for image quality reasons not due to the price difference. Just try it before you buy it.
Good Vid! Thanks for all your hard work to help out fellow gamers! Rift and Vive is pretty much just a consumer introduction to VR... I'll wait until they further improve. With improvements to batteries here real soon and as technology advances with Televisions screens and even telephones... that will all bleed over to better VR. They even have televisions that roll up into a box when you shut down your TV. There are so many applications that can utilize that. Give it 3 to 5 years and technology for VR will be where it needs to be. I dont mind paying $700 for VR as long as it doesnt feel like a prototype, like it feels now.
We need to at least to double or triple the performance of video cards first or a completely new concept of VR devices. You can always push HMD to the point where 1080Ti can't longer handle it.
VRidge OR THIS FOR USING OCULUS GO AS PC VR PLEASE? also is it worth it? i can maybe push to afford the oclus rift but i cant use it in bed or anywhere but depends if i can use the VR GO with pc games is it as good/ what happens if the game uses 2 controllers XD? can you play the ARIZONA ZOMBIE GAME on the go using this method? beacuse you walk and shoot please/???

IMMERSION on a Galaxy phone.... Thargoids will call you in the middle of a combat instance just to mess your Anaconda up. I am not too much of a VR guy, but I always have said the following: If you want quality and get something in the proper way, go all the way or don't go at all.

If you're on IOS, you can use iVRy. It works with USB or WiFi and directly ties in with Steam VR.
Hope this helps someone.
Thorou agreed I play elite with iVRy almost exclusively. iPhone X and a $25 headset from amazon works amazingly well.
iVry doesn’t work for me. Steam VR never detects that a headset is plugged in.
Not bad I had it set up in 10 min works like a dream I guess I can save money for Xmas now lol
It really is easy to use.
So it depends on what you mean by "sponsored by riftcat" because riftcat it vridge, so if it's sponsored by them this could be a biased review

You can get corrective lenses for VR headsets. See > vr-lens-lab.com/
well done. this video was really informative, cheaper option and entry level for me. thank you
I tried this recently with my S8+ and gear VR and found it to be quite unusable. The screen door effect and is way too noticeable, you can literally count the pixels and trying to read text is practically impossible.
i've tried it both ways (i have a rift). the cheap way was my intro to vr.
HTC vive is similar.
sound like your phone display or headset is the problem
If you couldn't position the lenses correctly at all then it's not really a problem with the software at all but rather your phone, the connection, and/or your headset fitting your phone.

Rait Rehemets absolutely possible, to answer your question. I use VRidge with assetto corsa right now
@@ethancknightAwesome! Thanks for your reply!
Thanks for this, definitely worth a try for me to occupy myself until I buy a headset.
What's the USB setup here? Connection, hubs, cable, USB version?
But you still need a high end pc to run the games?

how can one trust a review, when the review is about the sponsors product?
Hey it looks a bit jittery and shakey... is that the case ?
Not as bad as it look in the video. But still not as smooth as a "real" HMD
VRidge OR THIS FOR USING OCULUS GO AS PC VR PLEASE?
also is it worth it? i can maybe push to afford the oclus rift but i
cant use it in bed or anywhere but depends if i can use the VR GO with
pc games is it as good/
what happens if the game uses 2 controllers XD? can you play the ARIZONA

I find it slightly funny that you have the Oculus software installed :) Otherwise thank you for the review, it was very good.
TrinusVR is cheaper and is pretty good I got that working pretty well too.
I'm having problems with it somehow
First link doesn't lead to a buy screen.
There was a mistake in the posted link. Try this fbit.co/8UFh
Tried the free version. Handles like dog water. I was on cable too.
I wonder if it cuses motion sickness like Rift.
If you get motion sickness from the rift I don't think this will be much different.
Lenovo explorer is pretty decent

🤔
Couldn’t you just buy a normal headset, and put your phone in it, they are really cheap
That's is the point. But you need a way to make your phone emulate a vive. Which is what you use VRidge for.
First comment d2ea!
why am i watching this when i have a $500 headset
