Yeah racers and flying games are perfect for VR. Probably the best use of the tech actually...

Yeah, that's actually a real complaint I have with the motion controls. shyt gets tiring after a while. And the 3 wires out the back of the headset do get in the way. I almost tripped over them several times (and actually fell down once)Holopoint
what a fukkin workoutshyt had me ducking and spinning around constantly (you really gotta be aware of where the wire is). but more than anything, my arm got tired from holding up the bow

Just paid for my HTC Vive. It should hopefully be here next week. Can't wait to play it!

I move my PC into the other room for the Vive. my space is about 1.6m x 2.5m. that's enough for most stuff. at my girl's I got a 3m x 3m space, and it is better. basically the more space the better

How long is the USB cable that extends from your headset to the computer? Can you play without the room sensors?
I'm at like 10 by 10 in my living room. I'm gonna be moving into a new 2 bedroom apartment once this lease is up, and the second bedroom is gonna be a VR room/Office.
No, you need the base stations (sensors) above you. I'm 6'2" and I had them at them around the same height as me, and the sensors sometimes went outta sync. You gotta have them higher than your height. I added some boxes (lol), and now everything is all good.
the cable is around 15 feet long. plus it has a breakaway box, and you could get a longer usb and hdmi cable for that
you need the room sensors, and you might want to look into getting some different mounts for them. the mounts it comes with are the kind you screw into the wall. it uses the same size screw tripods and other camera equipment use, so there's a lot of options. I posted the ones I use a few pages back
did some more VR'ing last night:
Waltz of the Wizard was pretty cool. kind of a short tech demo (at least it's free), but it really shows the potential of the tech. it's kind of like Job Sim for wizards
Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades is a shooting range game. realistic weapons that make you go through all the steps to fire them (load, chamber a round, take off safety, etc.). it has a bunch of different modes, locations, and other options. and it's my understanding that the dev has been actively supporting and adding stuff to the game. it has a "gunasium" mode where you move around a course monkey-bars style by grabbing bars with your two hands, and stop to shoot targets. it's unique...
the Vertigo demo was really good. I'm definitely looking forward to that game. kind of reminds me of Budget Cuts. the 'boss' battle at the end was crazy
ended the night with The Foo Show (free). @Ciggavelli if you played Firewatch, you should definitely check it out. it's like a VR talk-show, but they take you inside the Firewatch tower, and you can interact with objects while they talk about them. it's cool cause they're all in the same VR simulation doing the show. it's definitely an interesting use of the tech
Pool Nation VR came out today...

Pool Nation VR is dope 
pool physics are good, and being able to walk around the table to line up shots is great. playing against the AI is fun, but I haven't tried multiplayer yet
graphics are pretty good (for VR), and the 'high' settings actually push my GPU. 'ultra' settings dropped down to 45fps, and I ain't trying to play a VR game like that. SDE does make things extra blurry in the distance though
and of course you can throw bottles around and cause general chaos. unfortunately no one reacts to it
