Sean Fenian<p><a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/VR" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VR</a><span> is kinda fun.<br><br>VR </span><a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/headsets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#headsets</a> kinda <b>suck</b>. The controllers aren't bad, really, but the <b>headsets</b> are awkwardly balanced, relatively heavy, and come with a long, thick tethering cable that gets in your way (and you can even quite easily get tangled up in it). I've lost count of the times I've either managed to hook a controller in the cable while playing <a href="https://plasmatrap.com/tags/BeatSaber" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BeatSaber</a>, or gotten it tangled around my ankles. Beat Saber's 360 mode is <i>particularly</i><span> bad, because it's easily possible to accumulate multiple complete turns in the same direction.<br><br>Wireless adapters for wired VR headsets such as the HTC Vive and Valve Index (which I understand to be more or less the HTC Vive 3) </span><b><i>exist</i></b>, but <b>they</b> suck as well, not least because they rely on their own dedicated WLAN in the already-overcrowded 2.4-2.5GHz band. (WiFi, Bluetooth, <i>microwave ovens</i><span>, wireless doorbells, some cordless phones...) The crowdsourced wireless adapter for the Valve Index has almost 70% negative comments, citing everything from short battery life and poor visual quality to repeated crashes and software drivers that often take multiple reboots to get them to work.<br><br>I've been working on trying to work around this with a passive cable suspension rig to try to feed the cable from directly overhead and auto-retract it when there is slack.<br><br>And you know? </span><i>It's not working badly at all.</i> I still have some fine tuning to do, but ... I think I'm definitely making progress.</p>
