Hope its ok to add a little colour to the thread
(warning this is cutting edge of VR game play stuff and not suitable for all, its for the "dedicated" VR player, its a bit OTT but that's what we like?
My pro tube VR has arrived today....I normally SIM race in VR primarily, I also authored a few mods, if you have seen the Ferrari F80 for example.
The really exceptional quality of a recent FPS with in VR, Onward, captured my imagination with regards to the competition element, its like paint ball 5 vs 5 but with BFG's (Big F Guns), audio is directional and there is both localised audio, and "keying up" with your right hand on your left shoulder engages the team radio, roger bleeps included.
I think the following term is really only applied when some thing is beyond exceptional, but yeah this game in VR is pretty F sick.
The ProTubeVR is an apparatus which due to the impressive reality dynamics of rifle control with in Onward (also steam store originally). It (supposedly) can help with stability of your chosen BFG.
So by placing your touch controllers into what is basically metal piping with 3d printed "cup holders", you can hold the virtual gun better in game, well I am going to be finding out. Ill be testing this out and give impressions of use vs standard Oculus room scale and touch only (free roaming hands)
As said game of choice is ONWARD....
You need a standard celling cabling support.
First tips or issues noticed before even going in game.
- I need to remove the cables off the touch they are getting in the way from the full slide into the cups of the touch controllers.
- The strap is well made and the clip is well built not sure what clip it is but its a good one (both ends)
- I like the stock (part that pushes up against your shoulder) feels "legit".
- Its a lot of money for what it is, in theory it should be I would guess more correct to be down at around 70 to 90 euros? but then labour, the fact the guy has put obviously a decent chunk of work into making this happen, "just pay the man his money imo".
Will pop to firing range and see how the furthers target (very far) is hittable via the 12x on some thing.
Current question is reloading requires both touch controllers so these touch devices are going be sliding in and out of these cup holders a lot, going to see how this works out.
