I’m composing this the night after my very first genuine experience of VR as well as my mind is blown.
I’ve done the whole Google Cardboard as well as gear VR thing before, however Oculus Rift is a extremely different animal.
I have been looking ahead to moving my sim racing rig into the online truth world for a couple of years now and I pre-ordered the Oculus Rift on introduce day.
So after a few months of waiting my HMD lastly satisfied my H and you understand what, the Matrix is real.
Costs & Requirements
The Rift costs £499 in the UK for that you get the head mounted display, an XBox One controller (and Bluetooth dongle receiver to go in your PC) as well as a bit remote control.You’ll requirement a good spec gaming PC (around £1,000) to drive it. The official minimum demands at introduce are:
GPU: GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon R9 290 or better.
CPU: Intel Core i5 4590 or greater.
RAM: 8GB or more.
Video port: HDMI 1.3.
USB port: 2 x USB 3.0 ports.
OS: Windows 7 SP1 or newer.
If you’re a sim racer you’ll requirement a wheel as well as pedals as well as a seat configuration too. If you’re into flight sims you’ll want a HOTAS configuration instead. So all in all a considerable outlay.

Na mém obličeji
Putting the Rift on is easy, believe of it like a baseball cap as well as slide the back part on very first then pull the front down over your face. It’s not so easy if you wear glasses though. There’s a bit of a knack to it, try glasses first. I’ve really discovered it works well for me without my glasses making it much simpler to put on as well as take off.
The ‘sweet spot’ is narrow as well as you requirement to change the straps, the tilt as well as the inter-pupillary distance slider, however when you setting it just right everything looks better.
Kvalita obrazu
Having never tried any type of of the previous Rift advancement kits I have to state I was dissatisfied with the resolution when I very first put the Rift on. The res can be especially jarring when you are looking off into the distance as well as trying to determine detail.
The forums are full of talk of ‘god rays’ as well as SDE as well however you get past all that the moment you begin driving. It’s an amazing feeling. even though you clearly understand you aren’t sitting in a race car, your sub-conscious brain takes over. I’ve reached out a number of times immediately to try as well as touch stuff in the car!
In the Matrix
Like everybody else we spent the very first night going with the demos as well as getting the household to try it out. My child laughed (and cried) as well as my much better half screamed as she walked along the ledge of a tall building. clearly there’s something incredible going on with your brain here.
My absolute preferred racing game is still job Cars. Here’s a video from one of the very best Sim Racing YouTubers, Gamermuscle that provides a great perception of what VR racing is like with job vehicles as well as the Rift…
The Nordschleife is even much better in Assetto Corsa although I can get movement sickness playing it for some reason, where I get none with job Cars.
Hand Controllers
I’ve bit or no rate of interest in other gaming genres however I’ve tried a few. While I’ve had no movement sickness after hours of driving in job Cars, a single barrel roll in the 6-axis area shooter E Valkerie had my tummy trying to exit through my mouth. In general if you are the kind of person that gets travel ill then you may be much more susceptible.
The Alternatives
There are lots of evaluations comparing the Rift to the HTC Vive. Its major difference is (perceived?) better room scale performance as well as you can checked out up on the whole lighthouse versus constellation argument if you like. checkout the video below for a great comparison of the 2 systems.
Many evaluations wrap up that the Rift is primarily let down by its lack of hand controllers at introduce (they are coming later this year). however sim racers do have a hand controller – a steering wheel, as well as this certainly assists with the immersion.
I’ve not utilized the Vive yet however the bottom line, I don’t believe you’ll be dissatisfied by either device. Playstation owners will be able to jump aboard the VR train this October at a lower cost point too.
Game Changer
I’ve been playing racing sims on as well as off because the 90’s as well as back then I’d never have pictured this level of realism would be possible in my lifetime.
While the resolution is certainly the weakest link in this generation of VR, when you’re in a race as well as ‘presence’ kicks in there’s just nothing to compare. I’ve not played a non-VR sim because the Rift arrived and I’ve no longer got any type of wish to do so. sufficient said.
Right, I’m heading back out in my Ariel Atom for just one much more race around the Oulton Park IslanD obvod
