Was a bit bored today so decided to spruce up my Index's frunk cover with some vinyl wrap, Took a few minutes with a heat gun in a fairly dust free room to get it right but I got there eventually, No tracking issues either.

Rift S owner here - first one had to go back after developing a stuck pixel, no hassle at all from Oculus they replaced it. Currently loving Elite: Dangerous and Project Cars 2 in VR, but of course I mainly got it for Star Wars Squadrons. Logitech X-56 HOTAS already in situ so it'll be amazing.

You'll be fine, You have to build up your VR legs slowly, Many games you can play sat down, Half Life Alyx being one of them.

If you want motivation, get the app YUR too. Its a fun little tracker. When you see the calories you burn through it gives a feel good factor
Played No man sky in VR.. my god, what an awesome way to play. The controls in VR are nothing like M/KB. Touching your forhead and gripping the controller to switch to some scanner display etc. Touching your wrist to navigate menus like your own little pip boy..
Game is ok, but the VR experience I thought was fantastic.

Don't know how that would work with the quest, as it would move the controller outside the field it's picked up,
Had YUR found it got in the way on screen
you can move the YUR overlay anywhere you want. I usually have it high up on my left side.

I'll have to give it another go I got to lose 3 stone 19kg, since my son change to a special needs school he gets picked up and dropped off so don't have to do the walking any more and the weight has sneaked on
I tested YUR against my watch activity in regards to movement etc. They are about 15% different, but I suppose if you can build up 500 calories in YUR a day from gaming, and eat right, thats weight loss while having fun.
Oh and if you want to give your shoulders a test, try Audica. similar game, but your arms are always out in front of you.

This is an interesting site for testing games for exercise

Though some games like Beat saber you need to be doing the high levels to get the results

I hear Creed is meant to be a pretty good VR workout
Even Beat saber have added a fitness map that gets you going if you can manage it on high level.
on a different subject,
With Fb bringing in the FB account needed, I'm wondering for people that have games on Oculus but now maybe upgraded to Index etc will they need to login with Fb to play their Oculus games
Yes, you do. Since there is the app Revive, i believe it still required I was signed into oculus. Afterall, it needs to make sure you are the legit account owner to view your library.

Just make a basic FB account, Put in real info with your name, DOB etc... You don't need to use a photo of yourself, Just use a black square, Don't add friends or like pages, This way you can still access Oculus with Revive but not have to bother that much with Facebook outside of logging into Oculus, It's what I've done purely for games like Stormlands.
