Virtual Reality
Virtual reality or virtual realities (VR), also known as immersive multimedia or computer-simulated reality, is a computer technology that replicates an environment, real or imagined, and simulates a user's physical presence and environment in a way that allows the user to interact with it. Virtual realities artificially create sensory experience, which can include sight, touch, hearing, and smell.
Most up-to-date virtual realities are displayed either on a computer screen or with a special virtual reality headset (also called head mounted display), and some simulations include additional sensory information and focus on real sound through speakers or headphones targeted towards VR users. Some advanced haptic systems now include tactile information, generally known as force feedback in medical, gaming and military applications. Furthermore, virtual reality covers remote communication environments which provide virtual presence of users with the concepts of telepresence and telexistence or a virtual artifact (VA) either through the use of standard input devices such as a keyboard and mouse, or through multimodal devices such as a wired glove or omnidirectional treadmills. The immersive environment can be similar to the real world in order to create a lifelike experience—for example, in simulations for pilot or combat training—or it can differ significantly from reality, such as in VR games.

    Praydog’s UEVR Unreal Engine Injector released

    Thought this was worth a thread. Free, open source injector out now that converts any Unreal Engine 4/5 game (of which there are thousands) to VR, to varying degrees of success. Spent some time today browsing the compatibility spreadsheet, there are already 500+ games that are ‘working...

    Look for trained fighter BOT

    Hi everyone, Hope this is the right place to post. I'm looking for some 3D fighting BOT, to import on a project. Is there a marketplace to look for this kind of things? I'm looking for something "trained" maybe with different level of difficulties, and that I can eventually improve and fine...

    Sourcing new latest/greatest VR headsets (for MSFS 2020)

    I have a nice new rig (7800X3D/4090) and have had horrible results with my Q2. I'm pretty sure it's not set up efficiently as it could be but I'm a resolution guy and I don't think I will ever be happy with the Q2. Now looking at the newer headsets it looks like I can spend anywhere from...

    We need more relaxation experiences

    I have been overall disappointed with entertainment/relaxation (non gaming) experiences for VR. Not everyone wants to just play games all the time. Don't get me wrong, i do like playing VR games. I dream a day where we have really good psychedelic VR experiences made via AI. For example VR...

    The AR/VR Accessories & Add-Ons Thread - What have you found/recommend/made?

    Following a remark in another thread, it seemed like it would be a nice idea to have one thread where we can post items we have found to help/enhance our VR and AR experiences? Whilst I'm aware the Quest 3 is perhaps the most popular at the moment, it feels right to include items that people...

    Virtual Desktop - PCVR - Steam VR Home - Very Slow?

    Did not really want to start a new thread, but this did not seem to fit with the other topics. I'm just wondering if this is "Just how it is" in which case I'll just go away and shut up ;) Or this is not right, and there is a known fix for this issue (that would be nice) :) So a reasonable PC...

    MarineVerse Cup - Sailboat Racing

    I know this one is going to be a bit niche, but I picked it up for peanuts in the Meta sale last night. And really glad I did too! Graphically, it’s pretty basic stuff, and is certainly not going to win any awards. But the visuals do convey all they need to quite well. The impression of speed...

    Building a VR site for beginners

    Heya, I am building a VR site for beginners. I am a longtime gamer and have built various PCs, overlocked various hardware, but when I got to VR that is a different level of complexity. I understand why Meta had to go mobile to keep it simple for people. But I think there is still confusion...

    Arizona Sunshine 2

    Anyone getting AS2? I will be getting it, but not sure whether to go Meta or Steam. I did hear that the Meta version will be getting an update for the Q3 in Dec, but i also heard that it may also come with a PCVR code too, which i doubt. I have enough Meta credit to get it for free, but i also...

    The AVForums VR Online Gaming Lobby

    The VR gaming world is great, but it’s arguably much better when playing with friends. I thought it would be useful to create a thread where like-minded AVF VR gamers could express an interest in playing co-operatively or competitively (on their VR platform of choice) and potentially group up...

    Dungeons of Eternity - Meta Quest

    Been playing DoE for a few sessions now, and have to say it’s really captivated me. It’s definitely the best dungeon crawler so far IMHO. The atmosphere conjured up is superb, and the sound is brutal. Some of the growls and roars are enough to make one shit themselves 😂. Anyhow, there are plenty...

    BigScreen Beyond

    There are some really exciting ideas in this thing. Linus seems to really like it... Even tho the cable is feather lite it still bothers me it exists. And no mixed reality, so utter trash then.

    Mobiles = 2 formats enough. VR/AR = 2 or more?

    Been wondering about this, as it sort of feels a little like the early days of mobiles / smartphones. And to an even older scenario the home computer which went through the 8 bit revolution before where we are now with Windows and Mac and a little sniff of Linux in the home. When it came to...
