Pro-Driver Tries VR Racing Sim (Comparison to Real-Life)

So, do you think sim racing is better with VR than a monitor set up?

You should try this again. VR has made some great strides.

can't wait to play Gran Truismo 7 in VR

Headsets have improve since this video. I ditched my monitors and only drive in VR. I use the HP reverb g2.

psvr2

all my kids will have compulsory assetto corsa vr sessions before even touching a real car

would it be possible to coach in VR?

You should redo this with the most modern sets

I'm going there today for my birthday and I'm 10 🎉🎉

get this guy a G2.

The key words I believe were depth perception. For me VR and motion are a no brainer to be consistent and fast. The negatives of VR is heat but I solved that with fans. It can be a bit clumsy with VR I found but the positives out way the negatives.

Playing around with the settings can improve the vr graphics but there's currently no GPU available todat that can push out the needed render resolution in AC to get a 1:1 resolution to a VR headset, at 90 fps (or better) with all the graphic options turned on.

The biggest issue I find in VR is that it's hard to judge how fast you're really going so it's very easy to hit a corner too fast and go off the track. I'd guess it's probably because everything is in focus (vs what you're looking at). The next generation headsets, with inside eye tracking will be able to effectively use foviated rendering to more closely match how we see with our eyes while improving performance as the areas you're not looking at can be rendered at a lower resolution.

Try it in Quest2

just bought a VR after see your videos ....and ists lovely mate , lot of improvements as well.

I've been messing with vr since the dk2 days and I must say I had quite an experience with sim racing with vr. My dallara dw12 "suddenly" lost the rear end and my brain tricked me into "feeling" the spin. I literally felt my bum sliding. Lmao it sounds silly but its happened a few times already. It's amazing. Long live VR

Please stop the Mickey Mouse music. It literally hurts my ears.

What's the best headset in 2021? You get less FOV with VR compared to triples don't you?

I love how Scott Mansell's wiki page immediately states "Not related to Nigel"

Lol, he was playing Assetto Corsa. That stupid arcade driving game with a rabid fanbase of losers who create fake accounts to advertise that smoking pile of garbage all over the internet.

VR allows for a more natural view and superior depth perception. Great in rally games where the nose of the car isn’t always facing forwards, etc...

IMHO, VR mode is much more realistic than monitor display. But it was a bit painful to play because my body felt gap between visual signals and sense of balance.

But the kids on steam said the simulator tag is a joke on this game, who can I belive?

Have seen pilots test a flighsimulator witrh vr, they also say, it feels so much more real. clöoser to the "real thing" ^^

It's amazing how it shook him too.

I just got VR today, it makes me super nauseous. I hope I get used to it soon

Yep I know this is an older video by Scott but I def agree! VR was the key to me to swap from triples to the DIY 3DOF rig. adding V3's and CSL helps too. Lot of videos posted so take a look if you get a chance. Love this STUFF!!! DMAX

nice :)

I’m slow in flat racing but I can compete in vr. That settles it for me.

Racing harness for sim racing, oh my days.

im wondering..in long term it doesn't effect your eyes isn't it?

What VR is that

Rfactor , iracing???

And I’m still using single screen and WASD playing

well 6Dof vs 0Dof makes a world in difference

Once my eyes adjust to the slightly blurry vr. Its scary immersive. You also get the sense of speed which you wont get with a single screen.

I already seen your video in VR with Lenovo Explorer headset in 2020 , we know is the best way

Thanks for the video. From my real world racing experience VR makes it much easier to judge and feel the car with added depth perception and sense of speed. From triples to VR...VR you get up to speed faster and im more consistent too.

VR is just on a completely different level than anything else. Correct field of view and depth is amazing.

VR headset should come in helmet shape. That should enhance experience even more.

I think is defficult to feel the speed

You should retry this on the vive index and hp reverb. I'd Luke to know your opinion on the new headsets with better resolution

Try it with a pimax with high fov. Now that's epic! I dabble in triples sometimes but there's just nothing that beat vr besides the real thing

Seeing the pixels in the headset is called "screendoor effect". If they upgrade their headset to the Valve Index, you'll see a LOT less of that because it has double the pixel density than all other headsets in the market.

....why are you wearing a seat belt?

May I ask you y do u have 3 TVs if ur using a vr

Do the motion on the rig improve your driving? I can install it on my rig but it cost $3000.

yep vr is beter then a screen for racing,have htc vive and it's a blast,but not for very long sessions due to the low image quality,imo.

Don't take this as an insult or anything, but when you wear the VR, you look way younger, and I don't know why.
