DiscussionVR Hardware, which one?? (self.learnVRdev)

fun_guy_stuff が 投稿

I am a game dev that's looking to get into VR. If I had to pick one hardware standard to use for learning and early development, which would be the most useful? I suppose the criteria would be: dev support, market proliferation, and attractiveness to VR Dev hiring managers.

If you're a developer you will need to own every headset you intend to support. If you are limiting yourself to just one headset at first then either the Vive or Rift would work. They both have plenty of support for developers and easy integration in Unity or Unreal Engine.

Just be aware that you cannot test an Oculus build on a Vive, but you can test an OpenVR build on a Rift, which makes the Rift (with Touch) more versatile for development if you only have one headset. However, Oculus is more strict about what they will allow onto their store so be warned that your game may simply be turned away. Steam publishes anything that isn't a virus, and as a bonus any OpenVR game will automatically be cross-platform compatible with the Rift on a basic level.

Basically, choose the one you like the best to start off, but absolutely get every headset you want to support as soon as you can afford it.

Important note: if you have something to show already then contact Oculus to request the hardware. They may simply give you a Rift and Touch to help you bring an existing game to VR and launch it on their store.

Thank you for this. Having some experience with the early rift dev kits, this seems like the way to go for me.

Hi, I'm looking to buy into an Oculus spec computer, Rift and Touch consumer releases. Can I use the consumer rift to develop software in the future? Are there limitations?

There's no "developer" version of the hardware, the consumer Rift CV1 is the exact headset you should use to develop with. It connects to Unity automatically so if you click play in the editor it shows up in your Rift. As for your computer, I recommend you go with a GTX 970. That way you can make sure the game plays at 90 fps on the Oculus recommended spec.

I really enjoy PSVR's limited room scale (about 6x6). Am I wrong to think that if I upgrade to a more serious system the Vive should be a slam dunk for me? It doesn't seem like Oculus is trying for this. I've heard you can make a slightly bigger space with Oculus with a third camera. The other factor for me is I'm learning the Unreal engine (which I guess goes doesn't sway the decision either way).
