Inspiring living room decoration for a modern home.
I'm so happy I don't give a shit about any of that.Inspiring living room decoration for a modern home.

Like...?
I'm so happy I don't give a shit about any of that.
Just have to slide an ottoman out of the way in the living room and I'm all set. Damn, this is gonna be awesome!
My girlfriend is an interior designer. I'd be lucky if I could get away with the lighthouse mounts let alone a ceiling contraption solely for holding my VR wires lol.
Now that your Vive is set up, you can play in a virtual reality where all that god damn furniture isn't in the way.
This is exactly why I won't be buying a Vive.
I think I definitely prefer the amusing SteamVR setup animations:

Bendy is waaay cooler than those generic HTC clowns.
Challenge her to find a gracious solution.
This looks ideal, exactly how I want to rearrange my living room whenever I want to play a game
Jesus until this is wireless this stand around shit isn't going to work. I can't wait to see pcs getting ripped to the ground when captain dumbass trips over his cables. Seriously how do they not expect this to happen. Massive home destruction incoming.
That's like complaining about game controller cables despite them having the ability to breakaway to prevent that eventuality.
Vive developers have been saying you actually subconsciously learn to deal with the cable - you can feel what direction it's coming off of you so you know roughly where it is. They say most people get that after about 40 minutes of play.
This is why I'll be getting Oculus Touch controllers and sampling some of these room scale experiences with less than ideal tech to get an idea of required space, etc, before buying a Vive. I'm not sure I have enough space. I think I might, but touch controllers are a safer bet even if they aren't as good at room scale.
If I have the space and love it, then I might get the Vive.
What's with all the negativity and cynicism?
.
You run around a room blindfolded with your controllers? and breakaways dont always work.
Do we know if this is being sold on HTC's site or Steam yet (when it releases)?
First off, a breakaway cable that doesn't work correctly is a failure. I have yet to come across one that fails to do its job.
Also, the chaperone system exists precisely to avoid accidents by highlighting the bounds of the play area when necessary so you are not blind to the outside world. They now integrated a camera into this so you can access a visual representation of what is around as part of that system as well. They claim this could be used to alert a user of moving objects in the area such as a cat.
Of course this stuff won't be fully proven till it gets into the hands of customers and is put through its paces in a multitude of environments

http://gfycat.com/InsistentGivingGrassspiderAnyone have a linked to the Steam VR setup animations? Those are great.

I have the right space for this, a bit over the minimum. The only concern I have is how much sensitive to the sun light it is, because during the day there is quite a lot.
It's a cost thing, plain and simple. I'm getting a Rift because Kickstarter backer. I don't know if room scale will work in my house. So my choices are gamble on a Vive headset knowing it will offer the best room scale experience should I be able to rearrange an appropriate space, or gamble on the Touch controllers, which will be a lot cheaper to see if room scale is going to fly in my house, and then go from there.What's with all the negativity and cynicism?
Oculus touch is a lot more of a hassle to set up than Vive actually. I personally expect to have no problem setting up the vive both at my desk and in my living room. I have no idea how I would incorporate 360° touch, as it requires another constellation camera positioned behind you that is wired to your PC. I can't do that at my desk (there's a bed 1,5m behind me) or in my living room (there's either a couch behind me or the cameras are standing on the floor in the middle of the room). With lighthouse I can just mount them anywhere in the general vicinity of a power outlet. I've already done the math and I can get two seperate play areas in the bedroom (1.5x2m floor area in front of my desk, 2x4m area off to the side) and one big one in the living room (2,5x5m) working with minimal effort (literally move a chair/the couch table). Lighthouse truly is a stroke of genius.
it says to close curtains and cover mirrors. It doesn't like reflections and probably sunlight.
I'd think you'd be able to hide the lighthouses ok. Paint them white and run power down inside your wall.
Yeah, I read that. I have no mirrors there, but just some thin curtains, so that's actually what I'm wonder, if those will be enough. But that I play that much during day anyhow.
Oh, my sweet summer child.

Lighthouse is really clever technology. My house doesn't have many appropriate spaces, and the issue isn't so much putting in the constellation cameras or lighthouse sensors as it is rearranging an appropriate space where I can still get the PC.
Do it in another room? I'd hate to be limited to technology that is aesthetically pleasing.
I'm moving shortly, and was just recently looking for a place to live. I made sure what would be my office space is large enough. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get the full 12ft x 9ft tracking area (or whatever variation of 5m diagonal I'll use) and then some.
