Eh, I'd rather not go through all that shit, If I do make the jump I want it to be as simple and easy as possible. That all looks like on hell of a headache but Conina makes a good point, waiting til the next gen might be a good idea. Is the Vive Pro being counted as next gen though? What would classify the next gen? Hmm, I sense a thread coming on, lol. |
Yeah, I looked up some Trinus setup videos... you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get it all running. Not worth my time and nerves. 
For best experiences you also have to buy additional hardware (tracker, base station, controllers).
PC VR games with gamepad input are the easiest with Trinus/PSVR (f. e. Lucky's tale): motion tracking of the headset works without external sensors, but you don't have positional tracking for headset + controllers.
If you want to track the position of the headset and controllers, things get complicated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjE3CoeVTUE
- you have to mount an additional tracker on your headset (extra weight and an additional cable... yay!)
- if you want to use the PSVR with PS4 and PC, you have to remove or remount that every time you switch the system (or drag the useless cable to the PS4)
- you have to mount the NOLO base station to the ceiling above the PC VR area... only one sensor, probably less precise than Vive or Rift tracking with several sensors
- of course you have to pull it from the ceiling every few days to change batteries, then reattach it
- you can't use PS move controllers for positional tracking since these are camera based and not infrared-based, also they are missing some buttons for Vive or Oculus touch emulation
- the controllers in the NOLO set (which costs $200 + taxes + shipping) are also missing some buttons and handtracking of the Oculus touch controllers; some games will be incompatible or hard to control
An Oculus Rift set (which includes also some good games) with much better controllers and tracking doesn't cost that much more than this bodge job above ($199 + shipping + taxes + $15 for Trinus PSVR software).
