@DK15779516 @SadlyItsBradley You might be talking about the Surreal controllers. They're ok; not great. They lose tracking sometimes and have a pretty loud fan. The PSVR2 controllers with the IR tracking work the best IMO.

@NathieVR Can I have it?

[Paul Wolfe @Pwhizzard]

@iVRy_VR That’s awesome. Did a PoC a while back of this which I really enjoyed but it had a high (knowledge) barrier to entry.

@ianzelbo 32” LG 6K Ultrafine is my productivity main right now.

[Paul Wolfe @Pwhizzard]

@SadlyItsBradley Secured one after panic writing a cron job with 30ms delayed, continuous mouse clicks. Wish I had written in a stop for said job though.

@Eldonchorizo_ @CaptainChats I got the Pro XL for my M4 iPad Pro and realized it works wired as well on PC. Use that all the time just because of the more ergonomic separation.

[Paul Wolfe @Pwhizzard]

@TFTCentral @AshifComposes Got mine in the states about a week ago. Preordered from LG direct which was estimated May 7th but arrived way early. Been digging it so far.

@svrc Blown away by how good this looks and how solid the streaming is already. I loaded Into the Radius 2 and sat down looking at foliage for longer than I'll admit.

@unitygames Steam Frame?

[Paul Wolfe @Pwhizzard]

@eminus @Samsung Any news on the 32” Odyssey 3D? Seems like they didn’t have one there, but I’m wondering if there has been any nod to release timing.

[Paul Wolfe @Pwhizzard]

Looks to only be regular titles still (not PCVR) but on Virtual Reality headsets. Still a great update but not as ground breaking as you put it.
“GeForce NOW users, from March 19th, can play at up to 90 FPS on virtual reality headsets, including the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest. Plus, more games are now available, and you can soon link your GOG account, enabling easier and faster access to your owned games”

@afoxdesign Not actually.. but what about this? https://t.co/bYtnjIFtji

[Andy Nguyen @theflow0]

I ported Linux to the PS5 and turned it into a Steam Machine. Running GTA 5 Enhanced with Ray Tracing. 🤯

@afoxdesign @OyasumiBastet 👀👀

[Paul Wolfe @Pwhizzard]

Also, I don’t think we can assume a battery and compute puck solves all of the problems both companies care about. For example, Apple seems to care a lot about photon-to-photon latency, and I’m not sure a compute puck is near/fast enough for the bar they’ve set there. And Meta hasn’t shipped it yet so theres still a good amount for us to wait and see.🤞

[Paul Wolfe @Pwhizzard]

My take is “can’t” isn’t the right word. They have very different performance and quality targets which puts different product constraints on what they would ship. They’re likely targeting different kinds of users too, but at least have very different design and product principles.
