With the design of index controllers that not a problem since it would be my fingers not the controller to make first contact and I don't quite jump that high. I did make one sacrifice in my computer room to prevent this. Every room in my house just about I installed a ceiling fan except my computer room specifically because I did not want to risk hitting the fan when am in VR. The worse I ever hurt my self was before I moved into my house I was living in an apartment so the VR space was just in a open space in the apartment. The wall I facing was 3/4 of a wall and then a hallway. I swung and if I had just hit the wall forward it would of hurt but not so bad but instead I swung into the open hallway and then hit the side wall of the hallway. I pretty sure who ever lived below and above me heard the cuss words that came out of my mouth. When it come to controllers it would be hard now for me to use anything other then the Index controllers without mods that let you open your hand without dropping the controller because am so use to being able to open my hands when I make throwing motions. Unless you make mods to any other controller out there to keep the controller connected to you it would result in me throwing the controller. I usually target doing 10 song when I work out in beat saber so ~30 min or a little longer depending on which songs I choose that day. I usually do it on expert. The problem with expert+ is ideally you stay fairly still and just flic with your wrist which not idea workout. With Expert mode I can let my self move around enough to get a good overall work out and at same time not get frustrated missing to many cubes. Find it best mix of a good workout but still having fun. Not going to break any score records with my style but can still constantly get S rank and sometime SS on expert. |
I usually go faster speed either on hard or expert concentrating on longer songs with lots of big movements. The glitchy moves pretty much ensure I never get SS rank, often one of the saber wanders off by itself for a bit, especially on faster speeds. But still good enough to complete the songs without issues. It took a lot of camera positioning and ambient light balancing to get the platinum trophy which requires an SS rank on expert. Beat Saber on PSVR2 will be a whole new experience :)
The most I hurt myself is hitting my head with the headset to dodge stuff while too close to my book case. I didn't notice the play area was drifting, will be so nice not to have to deal with that camera anymore! In GT Sport and Drive Club I had to reset position once a lap for slowly sinking behind the wheel. It was worse at release where you would also slowly rotate one way, start the race sitting straight, end while basically looking out the side window lol.
PSVR was great overall yet clearly a first gen experimental release repurposing stuff not quite meant to work that way. Still amazing what it could pull off when everything worked just right.
