I wonder if someone has developed a phone app that turns your phone into a VR PC display, letting you link it to your computer for immersive VR experiences without buying a separate headset.
There was a video made once on YouTube. It is quite difficult to use and not reliable.
I'm wondering if you could repurpose your $900 phone as a VR display for your PC. It's definitely set up for VR, but I don't want to buy another headset just for that purpose.
You know the Index is quite costly, don't you? And you also need controllers that require tracking. By the time you add hardware to attempt a fix, you might end up spending more than on a Rift S. I tried GearVR and PSVR, hoping they'd work together on PC, but it turned out to be a huge waste of time. It wasn't until I bought the Rift S that it finally functioned properly. The phone was extremely uncomfortable, the lenses weren't ideal, and using native VR apps made everything worse. I never managed to get it working for PC.
The Quest isn't a standard phone; it features fully tailored hardware built into a VR headset with cameras for tracking. It outperforms most alternatives that simply attach a phone to a headset shell. I've also seen some videos showing its hand tracking is lacking for gaming, mostly just a proof of concept at this stage.
