Right! ... back from travels and got some chance to hook it all up and have a play around over the weekend. First, here is the thing I got: HTC Vive[^] Yes, a serious piece of kit and mad money .... but it was recently Christmas, hence.... :-D Overall, it took about an hour to setup. Comprises headset, two hand-controls, and two boxes you setup on stands (or fix to the wall) that are called 'base stations' ... they basically track where you are in the room *very well* Downloading the initial setup files and a few games took another couple of hours (best start this thing early in the day!) The headset is a bit heavy after a while... not only heavy, but front-heavy, so can be tiring after a while.... they will improve over time as the the tech gets smaller etc. It has a long cable to hook back to the graphics card ... my understanding is there is already a wireless one int he works. then I tried it ... wow just wow.... really, seriously, wow.... I didn't experience any eye strain ...or dizzyness, and this is in the full stand-up,'room scale' immersive experience.... you walk around (in a restricted space) and it tracks your movement perfectly... if you have someone in the room with you (useful, to watch the cables dragging on the floor etc, at least while you are getting used to the thing) they can see what you are doing on your monitor. The couple of initial games I got were really good ... I then got a space-sim and wow - dizzy central! ... very hard to orientate myself in space, and this was sitting down at the desk, not standing ... not sure if that's anything to do with it. Content overall excellent, but I did go for the best rated games first. Highly recommended if you have the cash to spare (or a gift day coming up and have lots of brownie points in your favor!!!) :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I'll report back once I'm up and running :)

Yup, got the HTC Vive VR..Room scale it seems! HTC vive[^]

I tried the early Google Cardboard - cool, but similar experience to yourself.... it served to whet my appetite however, and so I just dropped a *silly* load of cash on a new *development machine* , that includes (for development purposes of course!) a spanking 1080 graphics card, a HTC-Vive kit, and the max ram the board could handle ... 128gb :P .... in fairness, I'm doing a lot of machine learning at the moment and that *eats* resources given the chance ... anyway - once its received I shall do a review and let you know the outcome! :thumbsup:

ha!

thanks :thumbsup:

> before hanging up my pointer->pants love it :)

lol, not in my local unfortunately! .. its 1.75 :wtf:

yup, *really* have another wee few to go for it to be pure authorship, but still, a good buzz to push for the next 50 ! :thumbsup:

Just popped over the top of 50k rep ;) Cool :)

:thumbsup: First time MVP here, delighted to be part of the best detailed code resource on the interwebs :-D

Not sure if its the right way - just given the fact its the first time I saw it, and made an assumption, whereas you guys developed it ..... user Vs dev perspective :cool:

I use a dual-sim Huawei Ascend G330. Two micro-sim card slots under the battery. Card 1 runs 3G, the other the lessor gsm. got it on flea-bay from China for £100 last year. Works well - both cards are active at the same time, however, only one can be used to take/make a call etc at the one time. I got it as I was pained carrying two phones. One card is personal, the other business.

Thanks - do suggest however that some indication at the install stage that an app is already installed would be a good move.

When adding a new app ... perhaps give an indication that an app is already installed? ... went to play (why we're here!), and got a bit confused first... http://ashanimalrescue.com/images/AppTasks1.png[^] then realised it was already there.... suggest perhaps an overlay or other clear indication something is already installed? http://ashanimalrescue.com/images/AppTasks2.png[^]
