Question: how about streaming any program to GO? that possible, reason for my question, I got this program called space engine, it has VR headset support, but only for rift or htc vive, is there a way to stream a current open program to your Go? or is it only for xbox/steam games? so are there other programs that basically streams your desktop to the go?
The latency must be horrendous with this, streaming from xbox, streaming to the cloud, streaming to the oculus go….
Brush your teeth
That's really really cool. Unfortunately for someone like me who really has zero interest (except for literally this purpose) in getting a desktop. (My laptop really can't handle anything cool) I wont be able to do this yet. I did see a guy streaming god of war to his bigscreen (ps4 only) so I'm not sure how he did that. Hopefully somthing like that is in the future without requiring a desktop!
Please note also you will need fibre broadband to get worthy results, fortnight is a no no, but big screen is now working on on 1080p low latency. However without these videos you can't truly test you go. So go test hehe
Thanks for go updates dude. Clear straight forward info for any tech level. Keep them coming.
Hmm… Seems like you're just switching from a TV to a virtual TV and adding latency. I'll get the Go but not for this.
i have an ideajust play fortniteNORMALLY
@RaMarcus Just spotted this and it caught my interest. I want to get VR to use with Flight Sims such as IL2, DCS, Flight Sim X and Falcon 4 (the latter two of which is now fairly old so I imagine lower tech than the moddern day released games). The ability to see what is on your screen for any game (1st person) be it Steam or otherwise, and get the immersion of VR is what I am looking for, but then arises the first barrier. Mp PCs Capabilities. Whilst it can cope with all of the games I have currently got at comfortably high graphic settings for conventional game view, it uses a Nvidia 650GTX Graphics Card with an Intel I7 8 Core 2600 CPU at 3.4GHz + 3.8GHz on a Gigabyte GAH61MA-D3V Motherboard.
I have been considering the Pimax 4K VR Headset, having read and watched some good reports on it, but the minimum spec for that is an Intel I5 960 Graphics card. I believe that if I fit the Intel 960 card, my current CPU will be a bottleneck, so an improved CPU is needed. To fit a new CPU my present motherboard is inadequate, so I will need to upgrade the motherboard, along with the Power Supply. Just upgrading the PC would cost over £1K minimum, so that suggests a new PC purely to use a decent VR Headset. I have priced up VR Ready PCs and fort a decent one relatively futureproof for possibly the next four or five years that will be a minimum of £850 to £1200. Then on top of that would be the price the VR headset which will come in at between £250 and £400, so I am talking at best £1100 to £1600 which I cannot afford as a young pensioner.
If this Oculus Go Headset has all of its necessary hardware on board, and eliminates the need for a PC Upgrade using this method you have shown, I dont mind taking the lesser graphic quality option (that is lesser than Oculus Rift or Pimax or similar), if it is noticeably lesser that what I would have to set the graphics to on the PC to use the Pimax successfully, if it could tide me over until prices come down more on the present above mentioned items as they are superceeded, because my finances options are obviously limited. I am open to any suggestions from yourself or anyone else if you would be so kind, because whilst my understanding of PC's is elementary to avereage, I am certainly no expert in these areas of compatibility. I dont want to buy second hand and purchase someone elses problem, this has for the present to be a one off hit that will last me a couple of years, until I can save up sufficiently to get a better PC Setup.
I agree with the poster below.. it's pointless. I mean i can see the appeal of watching movies, to watch movies on some huge move theater screen, but to put on goggles to play video games on just another virtual screen seems silly… If this video was a way to transpose the image into a 3d/vr format, than that would be different.. Or better YET.. have a way to play the game from the occulus go… Why can't this fucking thing play games.. aren't cell phone engines pretty advanced? Why can't you play games that use a controller ?
What’s the point also u just clickbaited fortnite when u could have just said Xbox
Good video very informative thanks!
Thanks for sharing. Have you tried VeeR VR, the app before?
Amazing video! I won't use this for Fortnite but it is so simple to share your PC to the GO and show your friends!
Honestly I thought it was easy Edit: and it was!
If i were you, id stop using big screen beta.. That will kill your Go sooner or later with all the heat that app generates.
this method implements a lot of latency, wouldn't recommend that, it's better to install steam link on your oculus go and play games from steam on your pc
I am totally new to Xbox. Would these techniques work with the XBox One X? And just to confirm, adding a PC or Xbox in the mix won’t enable PLAYING in V.R. on the GO – more like watching it? And I assume that one of. the touch controllers from the Rift can not be “rigged” to the GO? Thx!
Ps4?
how good does my wifi have to be?
Great video, answered some of the the questions for connectivity for the go. 27 inch deskop screen your days are soon over. The bigscreen app seems nice now i just need to check phone connectivity wifi there to the go and usb to phone (storage) info before i buy.
I tried doing this the other night and it wouldnt let me for some error reason.
I’m a new subscriber, but I got 2 questions. Is your framerate always like that? Or is it from the delay? And also, how many go games have you come across where you HAVE to have a wireless Xbox controller? I ask because I have the OG xbone and controller. Thank you !!
