Came back to HF for the first time in a while.
Would be cool if there was a section for VR gaming and/or development.

thanks

Welcome back, Orchid!
Long time no see - I like your suggestion, but I'm unsure if VR would be a very popular topic to discuss.

But VR development + general talk of VR sounds feasible.

[Dorrance]

Oh look who has spawned.

A VR section do sound nice.

I would get to work finding 100 threads on VR games if you think it really warrants it's own forum. VR is really fun but I'm not sure it needs a forum of it's own.

Agree with this the section would just end up dying.

[Demize]

Definitely would need more threads about it, there’s already a lot of dead sub forums

in all honesty, I came back to HF in hopes of finding a well pronounced unity/unreal developer to add to my team. Then I realized HF was not the place for that, but maybe one day it could be?

Searching for "virtual reality" (no quotes) provides a few pages of threads. Unfortunately it isn't as simple to search for simply "vr" because it is less than the minimum search length. I'm sure there are more threads with the "VR" instead of "Virtual Reality" in the thread subject.

Searching for "oculus" provides several pages of results as well.

A "vive" search also provides some results, but not as many.

Searching for "PlayStation VR" (WITH quotes this time) and "morpheus" (without quotes again) nets a few results.

"hololens" is another one along with all of "augmented reality" (with quotes).

There are indeed numerous VR related threads already on HF. 😁

Thank you for providing the resources!

Personally, I think VR is the absolute future and I’m just trying to get a head start. I would love to maybe buy a group one day on here and work towards establishing a proper VR/MR/AR dev team.

I’m only back on this forum for a reason. Tetherless Virtual Reality devices will surpass the popularity of the modern day smart phone, along with the post modern day smart phone when it first was released.

VR has not seen even seen its beginning of the beginning. Current situation surrounding VR is not sustainable, you need a minimum of $1000 to even get started and the only proper game so far has been Half Life Alyx, the rest are pretty much just experiments or sandboxes.

I don’t know if you know what the ‘Oculus Quest’ is, but to put it simply: it’s the beginning.

$400 to have a consistent experience each use.

I have a VR headset myself, would be a cool section but worry that It'd be dead within days.

I own Oculus and I approve this thread!
Nice suggestion buddy!

[Orchid]

Just putting this here, if I buy a group it will be a VR only group.

VR is so expansive omg it needs to be implemented on HF somehow

[Ash Ketchum]

I don't think we need another dead game-related section.
