Welcome to 4chan's VR pit. In brief /vrg/ is for the discussion of general VR technology, games, and the the various happening across the metaverse.

--- WHAT'S HAPPENINGES HERES ?????? :DDDDDDDDD ---
The most popular hangout is VRChat, the metaverse's very own Mos Eisley; where anons can finally be the little girl™. A good amount of thread content originates there from screenshots, events, /3/DCG, exploran, etc. It's recommended you check out a meetup at least once to get the full /vrg/ experience. As it's a natural meeting place, a significant amount discussion and planning that would normally happen in a general takes place there. As you can imagine on occasion some shitposting does spill over don't feed trolls like a fag just report and ignore. If it gets too bad things can be improved through these filters: https://pastebin.com/0AdqzCr4

However that is far from being all our general is about, your are encouraged to LURK MOAR and draw your own conclusions. Regular game lobbies get posted very consistently and game discussion is always present. If you find a cool VR game you'd like to play post about it and you'll likely get a few anons interested. There are very few other places on the internet with such a large concentration of VR enthusiasts.

Are you VR ready? Check here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/323910/SteamVR_Performance_Test/
VR will tax your toaster like nothing else will. Unlike any other gaming experience you've had before you will feel that cinematic 24fps in your gut.

--- HEADSET SELECTION ---
For a PC based headset the Valve Index is currently the best in class and allows for easy integration of full body tracking.

Quest 2.0 - mobile superiority and cheap supported by zuck bucks

Vive & Vive Pro is still a good one even with it's age
I'll reply with all the detail specs later. Just looking for a list of actual headsets right now for listing.
Has good amount of attachments enthusiasts can buy

Cosmos was sucks so bad. Hand tracking is all over the place. Don't touch with a 10 ft pole

Odyssey is much better for budget but it's barely available anymore. WMR as a headset is a weird place. A wild west of medocre to good headset
There's a fuck ton of them

Decagear is still sus.
But definitely needs to be part of the list.
Will compile these later

Varjo for the very fucking tip top 5k+ range of rich anons I guess. That's a weird one

Is gear VR still even in the running? This shit doesn't count and shouldn't count.
This shouldn't count anymore these days. Legacy the same as Oculus Go

Index is definitely the best premium enthusiast headset right now. Index 2 rumors are coming though.

Pico Neo 2 is an interesting one. Chink headset, what the fuck why does this exist and does anyone even have this

Reverb G2 is the Simulation junkee headset. A below mediocre hand controller but highest resolution right now. Few uses this.

Ok what else is important. Time to add the details on these

While the Quest 2 has great specs for the price there are other issues that prevent us from currently recommending it, see the section below.

If you're looking for cheaper PCVR check out some WMR options, these run the gamut from CHINESIUM to ENTERPRI$E CLASS. They will generally suffer from poorer tracking however, YMMV.

Used Vives and Rifts are still out there, the old bins for these headset can be found below.

HTC Vive Setup Guide: https://pastebin.com/QNc18zHd

PSVR is pretty limited, so avoid it if you can.

If you've got any questions, post in the thread, and we'll try to help.

--- REGARDING THE NEW OCULUS TOS ---
If you now purchase any "Oculus" device you are buying into the Facebook ecosystem. For any new purchases you will be -required- to link a Facebook account to your headset and abide by their stringent TOS. Using a fake account may result in your headset being bricked and there are some reports of this already happening. https://uploadvr.com/facebook-response-to-quest-paperweights/
There is however the possibility that the Quest 2 may be jail-broken in the future and if that happens we'll update our recommendations appropriately. Until then you would be a complete fool to give Zucc your shekels, personal info, and preference in VR anime tiddy.
