First Steps with OpenVR and the Vive on Linux

Quoting: Mountain ManDoes VR make games more "immersive"? Possibly.
Saying that is obvious you have no idea what you talking. At moment you try VR you will understand the meaning of immersive.

Does VR make games more "immersive"? OMG YES! I'm inside the game!

I have HTC vive, and right now i will try run it on my fedora box.

Btw, in just 30 seconds using it you know its the future. I was waiting it for almost all my life, i preordered it and i had to wait few months to arrive to my home. My hype was really high. I was really scared it was going to dissapoint me. It will be immersive? i will see the distance between me and objects... and all that stuff. When i put that on my head i saw my expectations were ridicolous, it's just much more than what you can expect. All who tested my HMD said the same, it's the future. We had 2D and 3D atm, now we have 2D, 3D and VR.

Quoting: bubexelI preordered a HTC vive, Soon i will know how it works on my fedora :D
Ah this is great, then this community will hear something about this as soon as possible. I am dying to hear how it plays!
Sure, as soon i get it i will make some replies with info.
I have one coming in May as well, I will gladly report how well it works on Debian Sid. By the way, you CAN install SteamVR in Linux, but besides putting a little icon next to the big picture mode one, it doesn't seem to do anything yet. Everything I have read points to them having Linux support, even a "steam-devices" package in Debian sid has udev rules for the Vive.
I'm at April Shipment part 1 - Spain

I really can't wait!
