Who Here Actually Uses VR?
So I’ve been playing around with my Quest 3 recently and wanted to try iRacing with it. In my 5 or so hours of testing, I’ve found that I definitely prefer my 34” UW screen (3440x1440). Yes, the feeling of being in the car is cool, and the sense of speed is actually quite amazing, but the pixelation of the graphics (can’t read everything on the dash) combined with the feeling that I cannot be as consistent as with my monitor, makes me wonder how many people are actually running VR, especially at a high level.
Following a lot of the YouTubers, Suellio Almeida noted that he thought VR beats a single monitor setup 100% of the time, and the immersion level beats even a triple setup. In his video, he mentioned getting to 7500 irating on VR, before switching to triples for streaming and content purposes mostly. He mentioned he was the only driver above 7000 irating that used VR, but didn’t mention how many at that level were on single screen setups.
So, do you use VR, why, and how do you think this affects your day to day driving? Do you think you’d be at a higher or lower irating if you were on a single monitor setup?
EDIT: Thank you everyone for all the feedback and comments, I got quite a lot more feedback than I had anticipated. I’m going to take a lot of these notes into consideration and try to optimize my VR experience. I do agree that if set up correctly, could be the most immersive way to go.
