Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today
AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 1 week agoIMO even a normal flatscreen is more immersive on average than a google cardboard, although that’s partially because a flatscreen hides the flaws in the graphics a lot better.
HLA tho needs 6dof controllers for the intended experience. That mod tries to get around it, but that obviously involves some sacrifices.

What is 6dof? 6 dads on fire? I only have Alexis on fire, I’m afraid. Will that be fine?

Degrees of freedom
3dof things usually just track rotation, because that’s easier. But for a full VR experience, better depth perception, and more normal interactions, 6fof is used which tracks position as well.
