Hello everyone, I was hoping for some guidance on VR headsets. I've saved up a good amount of "fun money" over the last 2 years which I would like to spend on a VR setup, so price is less of a problem for me, as long as its not outrageous compared to competitors (I'm looking at you Pimax). I already have a computer which should be more than capable of running any current gen headset from what I can tell (2080 Super + 3900X) so I can afford to splurge on the headset and peripherals. With that said, I want the best experience using the headset I can get from currently available products. I don't necessarily want the fanciest headset, I want the headset that I can use as a daily driver, if I could realistically use it as a 'virtual office' space for 5+ hours a day that would be ideal, I also place a high value on the 'It just works' aspect even if that means less frills. I was hoping you fine folks could help me figure out which headset that might be as I'm having some difficulty understanding the product stacks of some manufacturers, and how important of a human factor some of the specs are as I've really only been able to test drive the earlier headsets from library/school rentals etc. Currently, I am leaning towards one of either the Valve Index, or one of HTC's headsets, though I'm open to others. This is because I think the Index or the Vives fit that 'it just works' model I'm after. I don't however understand a) HTC's product stack; I don't know which headsets are aimed at consumers and which ones are aimed at developers or some specific niche use. I don't mind paying the high price tags of any of HTCs headsets, but I don't really understand what tradeoff I'm making if I choose a Cosmos, Pro, or Focus model. Are the "Pro" headsets strict upgrades to the cosmos? is the focus model just a gimmicky eye tracking thing I'll never care about? b) How much weight should I place on frame rate and resolution? My intuition is that I should probably value fps over most everything (and thus choose an Index), but If someone has any experience with both a Cosmos and an Index and could give me a quick comparison of the eye-comfort from the resolution/fps tradeoff I would greatly appreciate it. c) It's my understanding that the FOV of essentially every headset is problematic. With that in mind, should I prioritize it as much as FPS? d) what is the optimal number of base stations? 4? e) Cable management; what is the best method, and where do I find quality products for the purpose like extra long replacement headset cables or overhead cable rigs? f) different controller schemes. I'm guessing some of this is personal preference, but are there controllers, or other peripherals, which are highly recommended? Relatedly, I have audiophile grade headphones, will I be able to use them with VR headsets? Are the built in speakers any good at all? Finally, I'm in the fortunate circumstance of also buying a home. So, I would like to know anyone's recommendation for room design/size that has worked well for them. Thanks everyone.

I just received my Valve Index yesterday and I'm looking for some recommendations to pickup. For now I'm avoiding anything that uses Revive, regardless I don't really want to give FB any money anyway. Here's a list of what I already have. HL: Alyx Pavlov VR Walking Dead: S&S Boneworks Swords of Gargantua I Expect You To Die Raw Data SW: Squadrons No Man's Sky Elite Dangerous Zero Caliber A-Tech Cybernetic VR Archangel: Hellfire Creed

So I stumbled on LTT trying to research a solution for DisplayPort over Ethernet and was excited to see the spot on the whole home tech consolidation to the gigabit network and server build with virtualization. However, my desired solution is somewhat different, as the LTT team ran the fiber physically. I am renting and a new cable run is impractical, though not impossible. I had been designing running HDMI 4K over an AV matrix transmitter when I started looking into solutions for my Valve Index. What I want to do is setup the system to transmit to another couple areas in the house over existing wiring - Coax. I haven’t looked at the max rating for coax, as I have never had to use MOCA (Ethernet over coax), but figure it’s probably ok. More curious if anyone knows what it would take to make it work. DisplayPort and USB 3.0 extenders via Ethernet Cat6 seem like they could solve without latency issues, but I can’t find a AV or Display forum with anyone that has done similar. I know it is possible and expensive, and was hoping someone had some concrete recommendations or leads. Thanks in advance, Kevin

So i am looking at getting an index and see the minimum graphics is a 970. I own a 980ti reference card with 6gb vram and would like to get some opinions on if it will be usable with an index. I will eventually get a better graphics card but i don't want to get the index if what I have now is not even going to be an enjoyable experience until i update the GPU. I would imagine I'd have to bump most settings down quite a bit. Like a lot of you, I want to see what the 3000 series cards do to the market and look to get a 2070 super or 2080 in the future if prices drop a bit. I am currently running an i7-4790k with 16gb DDR3. Those will be updated later on down the road as I am not really seeing any bottlenecks with anything I am running. So what do you think? In almost min 2020 is it worth playing VR on a 980ti? Or should all people with 900 series look to update to minimum 1070-1080. Thanks!

Budget (including currency): Whatever it takes! Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: VR/Gaming/Productivity Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Hi guys, first time poster I'm currently in the process of setting up my home office, and I'm trying to understand what it'd take to move my gaming/media PC into the office. For reference, the office is directly next to my front room, which is where the PC currently lives. The PC is hefty enough - 6700k, 32GB, RTX 2080Ti. I'm not against upgrading the CPU/motherboard if it makes the solution more elegant (my motherboard doesn't support thunderbolt). The run from where the PC would sit to where the TV is is approx 6-7m. Currently, the PC powers everything - I use MadVR to upscale my media directly on the machine, my VR is set up in the front room (and won't really fit anywhere else), and it's hooked up directly to the TV. As mentioned, I'd like to move this PC to the other room, be able to use it on a monitor in the office OR on the TV in the front room (note - one at a time, not looking to multitask across both locations). In addition to this, I'd like to be able to easily switch the monitor/keyboard/mouse inputs in the office to my laptop which I'll work from in the office most of the time. The reasons for this are numerous, but the big ones are less noise/heat in the front room, and finally being able to play more competitive games on a high refresh rate monitor rather than a 60Hz TV. So, my checklist... I want to: Have my PC in the office room, which is 6-7m away from where it currently sits Use that PC to power couch gaming in the front room (I use an Xbox pad typically, if that matters) Have the PC power my VR set-up in the front room (Valve Index, if that matters) Be able to quickly switch between using the TV in the front room and a high refresh rate monitor in the office (audio will need to switch at the same time too) Be able to quickly switch the monitor, keyboard and mouse between the PC and my work laptop My current thinking is to run fiber HDMI to the TV, fiber DP to the Index, 2x active USBs (one for Index specifically, one for a hub powering other peripherals as needed) and ethernet. What I'm not clear on is how to get the display/input switching working. Additionally, I'm not sure if the solution I mention above is the most elegant way of solving this particular problem. I'd really appreciate any help on this. I've got the last of my office furniture coming in a couple of weeks, so I'd love to get your thoughts!

Hello my fellow humans! I have encountered a problem with my Windows 10 Home search feature. It almost works. I can open it, I can search for things like 'controlpanel' and 'system information' an it works all fine and dandy but I can't search anything that I have installed myself, it just doesn't show up. I have tried doing the Index-properties thing and all that but it just doesn't seem to work. Anyone got any tips on how to fix this?

I use to be a big picasa user (on desktop) and with Picasa now gone I'm not happy with the other offerings free or paid. I need a single piece of software than can catalog photos but also be accessible remotely to 2-3 off site clients. I'm not opposed to hosting a docker container if that is what it takes. Maybe a NAS accessible via a VPN so it could be mapped as a local drive then use a separate piece of photo editing software? Think common files, like google drive, with multiple contributors in different states.

Hello I need help! This randomly happened and i did not change anything. btw this is windows 7 i am using When I was looking through files and wanted to see it by date i would press "Arrange By Date". It shows nothing its shows as the folder is empty. Now when I choose arrange by folder it shows all the files and all the files are in there. This applies to documents music pictures and videos. And if i were to say get a new file or modify it and put it in the folder and arrange it by date the file only those files does show up. Also the searches doesnt show the full list of files i have anymore unless i click the actual file and open it up then it would show on the search list. yes i know if i choose sort by date it would work but i prefer not that method. I have tried the following: http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/arrange-by-not-working-windows-7-libraries but this does not help is there a way to fix this without doing a clean install? please help and thanks! yes i did a virus scan and nothing detected

Hi guys, I am planning to build my VR PC around November with probably the new Ryzen 4000 Desktop (hoping it is released in time) and a RTX 3080 (or big Navi if AMD really surprises me). So I was looking into buying a Steam Index and on the website I see under the VR kit "New orders ship in 8 or more weeks.". Would you order it now to receive it maybe in time or would you look into some alternatives? I don't know about alternatives though, I want the best VR experience there is: that's part of the reason I am waiting to get the best computer possible, so that it can drive that headset effortlessly. Also, I would avoid any Oculus device entirely because Facebook, so I don't think I have much choice.

Hello! I am looking to migrate two servers with 2 domains onto one. It's for a law firm and now anytime I change a user on the active directory I need to go to the second domain and server to manually change it. One drive is for the legal documents, and the other is for the apps like scanning and downloads. I also want to know how can i increase the index on the S Drive(one server) Currently it takes almost 2 minutes for full results ! What is the most efficient way to do so? What is the best hardware to use? PS There is a RAID Setup There is a Barracuda server All help is appreciated

VR is no doubt about to get very popular with the advent of HL:Alyx and all the games/mods that will spawn with Source 2 SDK. (Not to mention this is only 1 of their 3 promised flagship VR games) I think it's worth having a section for: VR - General VR - Hardware nested under general and VR - Games/Software nested under general What do you think? I know I'd like to discuss it here at LTT :) I'd also like to help people out with budget VR setups that aren't shit!!!! (for those in the UK, look at CEX for used Windows MR headsets, or used Oculus CV1s, no joke they're cheap as fuck! and work so well. Windows MR tracking got massively improved since it was first released. I use a Lenovo Explorer myself)

I keep having this problem, that I can't search for anything apart from Windows settings (like control panel, device manager etc). When I look for a file, it doesn't find anything. And only shows 'These results may be incomplete' with a spinning circle next to it. I checked the indexing option, re-indexed and all seems to be fine. Sometimes, it would really be convenient to have the search tool at hand..

I need to make a loop in python that is checking a list of numbers at as such: for x in range(y): if a == x+1: n += 1 So that the variable y will naturally iterate past its index range. So I need to know how I can accomplish this without being stopped by the index out of range error.

Hello, i am searching for a program (software) like "Everything" with the exact same speed and search function, but it has to search inside the files. An Example: I type in search "hard" the tool searches for files with the title "hard" but when it also finds text documents it searches inside them for the text "hard" The point is i want it not only to search for files with the title "hard" but also files like word documents or powerpoint documents that aren't containing the word "hard" as a file name, but they have the word "hard" inside them as a text. Example: Journey.yml (inside the document) It was a very hard Journey. I am basically seeking for a "Professional" search engine that runs not like a Java script or in CMD or anything like that. I am searching for a Software or Tool for Windows that will index FILE NAME AND there FILE CONTENT. This tool or programm would help me out a lot. If there would be a solution for my "problem" i would be glad to hear about it. (sorry for my bad english) regards, MaploX
