After the mid reviews of the Steam Frame, I'm considering the GalaxyXR for Social vr. What is your set up? Also have a few concerns below

Discussion

I heard the galaxy XR can be pretty good after going the extra mile to make it work. The globular cluster is needed for comfort and then optionally a bunch of 3D prints. But I'm not sure of all the tools that are needed for social VR and I can't find a list of it anywhere.

Can anyone share their set up?

Some Concerns:

  • The controller tracking seems to be controversial. How bad is it in a social vr context? I heard they barely track outside of the headset's vision, so you can't even t pose?

  • Is the streaming with Virtual Desktop and steamVR stable?

  • The dangling battery is a major concern. I do not want it on myself. Are there ways to keep it on the headset itself? Can you hotswap it with another battery or play while charging?
