i’ve managed to write at least one post for this site every month for 2 years, which i feel is impressive for my standards since my interest in things usually goes after about a month only to reappear months later for a similar amount of time. in a small celebration of this i’ll let you all know about some things i’m working on in the background as i did last year.
first is a post about the recent downtime the server experienced. what caused that was that i was performing some upgrades to it and said upgrades took a lot longer than i expected which despite that i simultaneously expect for these kinds of things. it’s all working great now though and the server is a lot more capable than it was. i’ll hopefully be talking more about the specifics of it some time soon.
next is something i do recall talking about in the past which is that i wish to start making write-ups on every vr headset i own. right now my collection is quite small at only two (a third turning up tomorrow) but as time goes on i’m sure that number will increase so long as my interest in vr stays which i’m pretty confident it will. said write-ups will contain the expected info like the headset’s resolution, fov, tracking quality, and comfort. in addition to that i’ll also be talking about the modifications you can do to get a bit more out of them as well as an analysis of how well the headsets run popular vr software/games on an older machine i’ll build out of my last computer once i’m done upgrading the one i’m typing this on, which i understand will likely exclude newer high res headsets but i don’t plan on focusing on those myself due to their generally high price and my interest being more towards getting the most out of older stuff as i’m sure is evident from what i talk about here. and as promised at some point i’ll get to testing steamvr performance with the 2.0 ui vs the 1.0 ui as i’m still using the old ui due to its better performance on my machine.
see you all next month.
