I recently bought an Oculus Quest VR headset. The Quest is a newer set currently on the market and apparently to be upgraded soon. If you can find them (Best Buy $399) and have 4 C-notes burning a hole in your wallet they are way cool.

Iƒ??ve just started exploring the earth with a program called ƒ??Wanderƒ? ($9.95) which uses Google Earth and coverts it to VR. There are hundreds of apps, games, and great movies available. All reviewers have said repeatedly that the 64gb model is more than sufficient. Caution YOU WILL GET VERTIGO, FALL OVER, AND USUALLY BREAK SOMETHING MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE GOGGLES!?ÿ

Anybody else using VR? Anything to share would be appreciated! ?????ÿ

I was wondering if someone out there had one and what they thought... 🙂
Is it anything like "Wings Over Washington" or "Soarinƒ?? Around the World" at Disney Parks?

I'll be 50 next month and since I can't go do what I was going to do, this might be a good 2nd option. ?????ÿ

@noodles

Nowhere as good as the Disney experience. I would bet they spent more than $400 on one of their productions 😉

They are lotƒ??s of fun with so much stuff to look at, kill, shoot, explore etc. Good part is that more and more vr stuff is coming every day. And, hell, at my age Iƒ??m going all out to hog as much tech as I can. If you have vertigo do not explore the Glass Bridge in China. ?????ÿ

If you want to play a game with someone then I guess you need 2 ?

I would assume they link up wirelessly some how ?

How do you install the apps/games if no PC is required.

I haven't?ÿ thought about video games for 15 years until you posted this, thank you

ƒ??If you want to play a game with someone then I guess you need 2 ?ƒ?

- ?ÿYou can compete with others on line.

ƒ??I would assume they link up wirelessly some how ?ƒ??ÿ

- ?ÿItƒ??s connected to your home WiFi.

ƒ??How do you install the apps/games if no PC is required.ƒ??ÿ

- ?ÿYou receive 2 hand controllers with it. All controls are through them. Super simple. No pc needed just WiFi.

They have an app that puts your windows desktop on the goggles it may work. Itƒ??s supposed to give you full control of the pc. I donƒ??t have the program so canƒ??t comment on its functionality. It should work. ?????ÿ
