Thank you so much for your amazing work! I really enjoyed your video (I would say that it's first video that i enjoyed that much in a REALLY long time), and I'm happy that there is someone who actually makes real budget vr content (I have never seen anyone covering budget pimax headsets from ebay).
Ended up building slime vr 7+3. £130 is about right. The hardest part i had was the 3d printed casing but thankfully someone gave me theirs for a resonable price. Using BMI160s but can say i dont have the strength to de-solder and re-solder the better IMUs
I recently upgraded from an i7 4790k to Ryzen 5 3600. I got it for only $30 along with an amd wraith prism cooler. Then, for $100, i bought an atx b550 mobo. I bought $40 32GB DDR4 3200MHZ, and a $30 pcie 4.0 nvme m.2 ssd for boot. I also upgraded my gpu from gtx 1660 6gb to an MSI Gaming X Trio RTX 3060 12gb for $180. So the pc you used in this video fits well for me. Big upgrade, I tested VR on it and it's night and day difference in performance!
i would say if you are on a budget do not get a quest 1 support has been dropped you will experience issues and the tracking decent i recommend the Rift CV1 and buy a third sensor for better tracking its a lot much of a better option than the quest 1
Thank you for this video, I did not know psvr could be used as full body, Totally going to use it with my vive as i had them from when I attempted getto vr with my phone and psvr for hand and head tracking back in 2019.
sorry i was bugging you about your haptic vest, i was excited - didn't mean to give you a hard time. im not sure if i'm on another discord account or you unblocked me, but i'm seeing ya on discord again - will refrain from bugging you. happy you're back to making content.
Hey it's okay lol, don't worry about it. I was away from my socials for a number of months, so I'm sorry I wasn't able to get back to you. If you still have any questions don't hesitate to hit me up again! And thank you so much for your support!
Hey man, I just stumbled upon this video, and I watched it the entire way through. Such a well-made guide and it's quite frankly amazing you were able to put together that entire setup for so cheap. I was really surprised seeing how many subscribers you had when I actually clicked away from Google to RUclips, I expected at least a million. You must be one of the most underrated RUclipsrs ever.
For a while I used my old CV1 with an extra CV1 touch controller as a tracked object (totaling 3 controllers, each being AA battery powered with multi-day battery life) and had near vive tracker accurate full body. CV1s are pretty cheap, and the possibility of getting controllers with worn-out/broken sticks for next to nothing, just for the sake of their tracking ability, is quite a nice second wind of life for old hardware like it. The only problems I can think of are that you need to run a separate headset independent of the Oculus PC app (either streamed using something like virtual desktop or a native SteamVR headset), the CPU horsepower to run the several pieces of software simultaneously (Oculus PC app, Driver4VR or the GitHub equivalent software, wireless streamer software for any wireless headset and SteamVR), and at least 4 spare USB slots for the CV1 and 3 cameras (it barely can work with 2, but 3 covers your bases). Since I had it lying around when I upgraded headsets, it was a pretty solid solution for me. Here's hoping that more cheap tracking hardware trickles down from the top, or maybe some second-wind use for any older VR-tracked hardware out there.
Hey that's exactly what I use! Except that I only have 2 cameras and 2 controllers, I use the entire whole headset as a chest tracker which is incredibly funny to look at, but also oddly accurate and somewhat comfortable, of course I'll run into the issue of having yet another extra cable on my body, but since this is my only option, it does the trick *very* well, and it's not as bad as it sounds when you get used to it! I seriously do want to get another extra sensor and a 3rd controller instead of using the headset itself, but sadly they don't sell those in my country, so the odds of me getting my hands on them is very very rare, but it is something I want!
I got recommended your quest 2 outdoor video when it released and then patiently have been waiting for another upload. Thank you for brightening my day, I'll call off the hitman I was going to send now.
I started off with a quest. And I fell in love with vr. I got a very very cheap prebuilt pc from my friend for 90 bucks that had a Ryzen 1600, a Radeon 570, and 16 gigs of t force ram. It was playable in my opinion I used my brothers valve index and it was pretty nice but recently I’ve been craving more like full body tracking and better graphics. Recently I got a better gpu which is a Gtx 1070 I got for 50 bucks at a pawn shop 😭 and I also got a valve index of my own for 500!! Almost brand new but used from someone. So now I can get easy 60 frames on vr chat with a valve index for only 650. I found out I have the ability to do the full body tracking project you did with psvr.
in my personal opinion i would go for a quest 2 as the system you using is capable of hitting 45 frames most of the time so with asychronos warp you can make it feel like 90 and with the quest 3 on the horizon you might be able to find some cheaper ones for a more perfectly balanced system.
Quest 2 would be a bad option pretty much any quest device would be a bad option there's tons of overhead for encoding decode of the video feed because it's not a direct video connection
I'm so glad I watched this before putting any more money in my rig. All I need now is new vid w more RAM. I need better frames in Orion and other clubs.
4:14 i may be a bit late but dont forget to check if the motherboard has a wifi adapter if you dont want to use ethernet, not all motherboards come with wireless internet
Just to add up, the second best tracking solution besides vive would be NoloVR , it uses the same exact tracking techology but only has 1 basestation so it's limited to 180 degree tracking, this can be improved with a custom firmware for ceiling mode, it can be found for around same price as Slime or Ps eye solution.
SlimeVR is shipping ... though only for the first 2k orders or something like that. The rest should ship until november. So its not that far away ... Finaly. Its been a long wait with lots of delays that slimeVR had no influence on ... like the war in Ukraine stopping a big shipment on a train in belarus.
this is really good!!! i was confused by the video title as i thought that the fullbody part *alone* cost 750 quid... maybe you might wanna tweak that title? besides from that, excellent video :3

Very informative, mate 😃 I had no idea about the PS Move being an option and I just may try that or the QR based one!
Interesting. Im not currently interested in making a VR specific setup but this did tell me that if I ever do want to upgrade, going for a better graphics card would give me better frames in VR Chat. I currently have 8GB of Vram and im actually fine. I can stand to get a bit framey, Vritual Desktop is great with its "space warp" stuff so I only have to render half the frames.
Got a used 1080ti just recently as well. Very good video dawg. Only thing is I would personally recommend a cv1 over a quest 1 due to comfort overall, quest 1 is very bulky.
quacking KNEW IT, fast storage and high v-ram are what vrc benefits the most, ofc having a raw performance is great overall, if you're planing to "main" vrc, thats the way to go. on a side note. i have been wanting to build this machine whatever money "hops in" my pocket r5 5600g and its vega 7 graphics (at first, so i can put my beloved uhd 620 along side my current i5 8250u to rest) b550m motherboard 2x8GB ddr4 500gb m.2 600w power-supply 80 plus bronze full tower with 3~4 fans (mash front) and last but no least, the mentioned... 3060ti '°³° but hey i'm aiming for the 12gb triple fan from msi headset wise, quest 2, no doubt, prices for imported ones like pico 4 / 4 pro, where i live are basically double the listed price (not to mention the currency conversion you need to do first before doubling it { cries in Brazilian } ) FBT tracking... isn't on my plans, for now, but likely an IMU based system, specially given that by the time i get all the base vr stuff, solutions like axis will be way more refined, hopefully ;p now given the mentioned country, time to do the old reliable, sorgy for any atrocities above, engrish is not my native language ( ouo)b
You know what, my first VR headset was a fucking google cardboard with a lot up ping pong ball and two ps moves tracked by two ps eye cameras with video transmitted to my phone through fucking usb 2. And I played beat saber.
It would appear I misunderstood how the heck components work cus I thought my thing was trash (because it barely ran) and this video says to use parts similar to what I have (I am not sure they are okay but with my nonexistent PC knowledge and the power of Task Manager and what it says my parts are, I have no clue what the heck is happening, probably just me being dumb though)
Seems like they have potential, but they are really expensive compared to other options. And there's also the latency if you're using them native with the app. Quality product, but not exactly suited towards VR. Unless more significant updates are made to the software to optimise it.
@@norsenbot1 it would be able to yes. If you've got any specific games in mind you can search up a video showing you how well they run by typing in something along the lines of: "1080ti (game name here) benchmark". Hope that helps!
I do believe that's possible, but I don't recommend it. The Virtual device manager is purpose built by the same developer as the PSmoveService EX, and because of that has many more features and is much more efficient and responsive :)
for the love of god just use a m.2 ssd they are just as cheap if not cheaper along with being a bit faster but just make sure your motherboard supports it l
Man goes on break for a year and then comes back like nothing happened
Truly one of the best VR channels
Woah, the scope of this video is huge! Great job putting this all together!

Same with HTC Vive. Common OLED issues.
And the cv1 as well

THE KING HAS RETURNED!
Dont forget about fbt with vive wands! It can be cheaper than ps move.
Not if you dont own any base stations, which is more than 50% of users in the Steam hardware survey.
@@ExternetEx used base stations don't cost that much. I'm just saying its also a really good option.

quacking KNEW IT, fast storage and high v-ram are what vrc benefits the most, ofc having a raw performance is great overall, if you're planing to "main" vrc, thats the way to go.
on a side note. i have been wanting to build this machine whatever money "hops in" my pocket
r5 5600g and its vega 7 graphics (at first, so i can put my beloved uhd 620 along side my current i5 8250u to rest)
b550m motherboard
2x8GB ddr4
500gb m.2
600w power-supply 80 plus bronze
full tower with 3~4 fans (mash front)
and last but no least, the mentioned... 3060ti '°³° but hey i'm aiming for the 12gb triple fan from msi
headset wise, quest 2, no doubt, prices for imported ones like pico 4 / 4 pro, where i live are basically double the listed price (not to mention the currency conversion you need to do first before doubling it { cries in Brazilian } )
FBT tracking... isn't on my plans, for now, but likely an IMU based system, specially given that by the time i get all the base vr stuff, solutions like axis will be way more refined, hopefully ;p
now given the mentioned country, time to do the old reliable, sorgy for any atrocities above, engrish is not my native language ( ouo)b
I've been using a 2060 6GB with a Ryzen 7 2700 and 32GB ram, and VRC works fine.
the only problem i have with the quest is the fact they are updating it to the point that its battery is gonna end up dying faster and faster
My Quest 1 hasn't been able to run VRC standalone or on steam for months now.
first it wouldn't load worlds but if im not mistaken its not going to run at all anymore
wish this was out when i started 😭
Are you planning to make video about any updates on your diy haptic west anytime soon if ever?
I literally yelled, yahoo'd, and clicked my heels
aye like the editing
I got vive with my q 2 and it’s the best thing ever b tracking you can get in the game
3.0 btw
I got my quest 2 brand new for 250 USD on sale a year ago
Top teir content 🔥🔥
pls make an updated psmove tutorial < 3
I got lucky with a £120 quest 2 with custom grips and vive head strap with headphones
Good video brother
You know what, my first VR headset was a fucking google cardboard with a lot up ping pong ball and two ps moves tracked by two ps eye cameras with video transmitted to my phone through fucking usb 2. And I played beat saber.
How about SlimeVR Wrangler with joycons? Is it recommended?
love you cai
at 2:13 im pretty sure the fps is capped and thats why the 3060 is the same as the 108.
Lol me with my gt1080 getting 60 fps always XD
there is cv1 controller fullbody lol it amazing and cheap!
I got the 5600x cpu b550m monther board, with 16 gb ram, and an rtx 3060, not the ti because the ti has 8gb vram and the regular has 12gb
this is all so difficult to take in for my brain aauugheg
can U make a video on ''how to make steam vr controller by using switch joy-cons'' but without the programm ''driver4VR''?
Niceee buddy ^^

Heck, this game was running in vr for me on 1050ti with ALVR but damn, vrc optimization is shit considering they got 95m usd investment so uhh.

Can someone confirm if this CPU setup can run Devil May Cry V?

quest native :trol:
I no no wanna build it :(
Someone do it for me
Always go AMD GPU when you're dealing with VR Nvidia GPUs have an issue where you'll be locked at 45 FPS after a few hours
why not m.2 ssd?
the performance is very similar on the low end

The Q1 has the worst screen door effect ever. Sure its fine if you are new to VR but a far cry from being the best.
