Thinking of making the jump into VR.

The most important aspect of having a good VR experience is accurate tracking, and the Vive's laser-mounted tracking system is the best of all the options you listed.


This makes a ton of sense to me and has me really conflicted now. I watched the official Vive setup video to get an idea of what I'd need to do to get everything running. I have a very small bedroom, which is where I'd install it. However, I feel like I'd play maybe 70% there and 30% in my living room, and it seems like it'd be a major hassle to move back and forth. Not to mention my bedroom's already an electrical hazard, since I have like 20 things ultimately powered through 4 surge protectors going to 2 outlets in here, and the Vive would add 3 more.

That said, I checked out the Rift S's Displayport connector options, and the official website says the only supported connections are through either displayport or mini displayport, and my laptop has neither, so I'd be going through a third party adapter that isn't guaranteed to work.

So I may just be going with the Vive by default.
