Yeah I saw that and got it working but I want to know how would I incorporate the htc vive controllers.

Hey, I guess I can provide a Unity project...then you would have to figure out how to get the Vive controllers working, but there should be a ton of info out there on YouTube!!

I will look for the project...in the meantime, you can download and install Unity. Its free to use!

Also you should try to learn a bit of how to use Unity, otherwise it might be very confusing!!

Thanks very much.

This is the Unity scene...I hope this helps to get you going!!

A friend of mine is looking for a VR system. It seems the original HTC Vive model  is discontinued https://uploadvr.com/htc-vive-dead/  VIVE dropped the price and the replacement is the HTC Vive Cosmos.

Can you guys share some details regarding:  HTC Vive model, PC requirements and if you are happy ?

PC requirements are practically irrelevant when discussing VR. Even the most intense game I play set to the highest settings uses a fraction of the CPU... and that cpu is an I7 from 2012! Serious

It's all in the GPU - and that's the only thing that matters. Get the best GPU your friend can afford. If he cheaps out on the GPU, it will end up costing him the entire system because it'll be unusable. I wouldn't recommend anything less than an nvidia 1080. If your friend buys one less than that, it'll end up collecting dust and they won't even be able to sell it for used.

As for controlling the robots with it and using for augmented reality with Synthiam - pretty my much any VR headset works with Steam VR these days.

As for the HTC Vive... i do recommend Windows Mixed Reality. I use the Samsung Odyssey. I do have HTC Vive as well. It's just that the HTC vive requires sensors and the installation is a pain. I have a room in my house setup specifically for the HTC Vive. Nothing can move, the sensors are mounted on the walls. It's permanent setup. Where the windows mixed reality, i can play anywhere with no setup time.

I agree on the above, but my Radeon RX570 works pretty well...I guess the Nvidia GTX1060 will also get the job done! But as stated, the GPU is the bottleneck!

If you go for the Oculus Rift or Quest, you will get the best value for your money, otherwise go for the Vive Index! But as stated, the high tech comes at the price of the difficult setup!

I have not heard too much on all those Windows Mixed Media headsets, but if @DJSures had a good VR experience using them, I heard they are a pretty good deal!

....agree Windows Mixed Reality works very well. I have a Acer headset, but things move so quickly that its no longer available...and I bought it last year.
