My wallet is not ready...

I'm considering this or the Pimax Crystal Light. If the price is around the same, I'll go for the Frame. My wallet will be strained, but I consider it worth it to escape Meta and my aging Quest 2, which they seem to be abandoning. Simracing in VR is so good. I can't go back to flat-screen.

Is the Pimax wireless?

Almacca@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 14d

I don't think so from memory, but I only use VR seated for simracing, so being wireless isn't a concern for me.

I'm actually looking for a used quest 3 since it's apparently so easy to jailbreak them and never let them interact with meta. And it's very probably a lot cheaper than a new frame

Holy shit- usb streaming in steam vr with steam link??? That’s amazing! If it works on Linux using the steam client beta that would be wonderful news. I fully approve of this. Things are definitely looking up at valve.

Linux on arm!

The steam frame is also not streaming vr to a separate vr headset

Inkstainthebat@pawb.social · 1 pts · 12d (1 reply)

I mean, of course, but I think that would imply that they'd support streaming from Linux devices too

Apparently it's Windows only atm, but Valve is working on it.
