Does anyone have a headset? What do you think about it in the context of your mental health?

    my index hurts my eyes, even with corrective lenses, which stresses me out. i dunno, maybe there’s something about having big lamps 2cm in front of your eyeballs.

        i’ve had it for years and never managed more than 20 minutes in one sitting because my eyes dry out.

          Bah! That sucks. Some people never do get used to it. I felt so nauseous after playing Elite Dangerous VR for a few minutes the first time that I had to go to bed. But after many short sessions I was able to play without any nausea at all.

          It’s really important that the headset runs at 90hz and 90fps. Do you know if your computer hits those rates?

            I’ve got a 7900xtx.

            honestly the biggest problem isn’t nausea, it’s heat from the display. that’s what dries me out.

                  Using a halo style head strap the headset isn’t pressed against your face so you can remove the foam pad. It’s what the Quest pro used.

                    yeah that would increase air flow. question is if there’s anything like that for the index…
