[WMR] Windows Mixed Reality - duscussion thread - Acer VR and more

[Kyokushin]

Let me start.

I just got on newegg an Acer VR for 180 bucks (with controllers).


+ less SDE than on Vive/Oculus
+ similar FOV, and in my opinion FOV is good
+ clear and sharp image
+ in my opinion good sweet spot
+ controllers works smooth and perfectly
+ HMD works flawless
- software IDP, adjustable in 59-68mm range. If you have larger or smaller IDP you need to buy a helmet with mechanical regulation like vive/oculus or WMR Samsung Odyssey.

After playing around four years in Elite and with many tries with smartphone VR - what can i say - if you not played Elite in VR, you not played Elite at all.
180 bucks is not much more than pack of cigarettes for 30+ gamer. Worth to give a try - completely much different, more deep, experience.

Update:
Clarity and quality improvement tweak

Elite in VR is something completely differen than playing it on a monitor... glad you finally got an HMD... the experience is soo priceless I would sell my house for it if I had too.. lucky for us its not really expensive!
