Hey, you! Don't get rid of that Windows Mixed Reality headset yet.

A Microsoft engineer aims to get it working on SteamVR with a new driver.

READ: www.windowscentral.com/software-app... 🥽 #WindowsMR

I hope you didn't throw out your Windows Mixed Reality headset — a new driver could make it run again on SteamVR

See, Microsoft? Windows Mixed Reality didn't have to die so abruptly. All it takes is one passionate engineer to rescue our headsets.

VRC始めたの22年の9月だと思ってたらSteamのVRCをアクティベーションした日を見たら19年の7月だった…

そういえばWindowsMRのHMD買ったときに試したことあったや

@thurrott.bsky.social Something interesting to keep an eye on. Someone is trying to save the functionality of existing WMR headsets past 24H2 using a driver that would interface them with Steam VR. I am all for not creating unnecessary E waste.

もうサポートも切れるし、最近使っていないWindowsMR機を取り外した。
捨てるには忍びないけどね。

360kinectのディズニーランドアドベンチャーは、
すげえ面白かったんすけど、
そもそもエロゲやらんし、ホラゲーの中に入りたいとも思わないんで、
なんかデカい街なり、テーマパークなりを疑似体験できる
VRゲーム出たら買うんですけどねえ。

GTA5よりも、
スリーピングドッグスとか、ゴーストリコンワイルドランズや、ファークライみたいな
景色が綺麗で生活感ある奴が理想。

あと、WindowsMRはポチる寸前まで行ったんだけど、
その後リリース無くなって、買うに至ってないｗ

僕んち、TVはLGの3Dテレビで、
PCモニタは、Nvidia3DVision対応なんだけど、
立体視以降のVRやARには、いまだに手を出してないです。
3Dプリンタとかもｗ

一瞬だけ、AcerのWindowsMRグラスは買おうとしたんだけど、
AR/VR/MRって、キラーコンテンツに欠けてる気がするんで
踏み出せてないｗ

XBOX360のキネクトが立体視になったら、
楽しそうだなー、とは思うけど。

セガサターンのバーチャルハイドライドがVR化したら
VR環境整えようかなーレベル
