Hey mate, so my brother tested it out.
Here is a few pointers and how we did it.
1. I took the Rift out the box and connected to the PC. You might need someone to do that for you and just leave it connected as you need access to the back of the PC (HDMI connection and USB port for the rift).
I did a small briefing so it doesn't take us much time to setup , get use to everything envolved.
2. Put it on the table next to the mouse and explained about the controllers (both the navigational one and Xbox one controller that are included in the package).
3. Explained how the straps work and how you can tilt the screen (general head and eye placements). Told him to open the straps up so it can be easier to place on his head.
4. He wears glasses (but not contact lenses) so he took them off and we started the setup. BTW he has very high myopia on the left eye.
5. Setup went fine and we basically had him stay seated even though says clear the area and stand up. You might want to be sitting on your wheelchair though for some games if you want to get the rift controllers. I personally setup the RIFT seated aswell and tracking is just fine. Setup takes 1 minute or less to setup for standing if you somehow can (so no biggie anyway).
6. He put on the headset and started to get a feel of what was going on, it took him roughly 30 seconds to a minute to get a feel how the straps work/setup and get the right view even though I had explained earlier. He used his right hand for the left strap and also fiddled with the wire placement a little.
7. He did the demo and then it entered the Oculus home automatically. He got a feel for that (I personally feel it can be better, so does he) but you get use to it after messing around a little. Then we ran a few games like Mountain Goat, Farlands, Luckys Tale, Elite Dangerous then Project Cars.
He was amazed how better the Rift is then what he was expecting.
Elite Dangerous amazed him, also he is pretty good with the Xbox controller even though he is
**** (in general). It also helped immensly when playing Elite Dangerous vs what he felt when he first played it with keyboard+mouse combo and he did pretty well with Project cars (although he is very very bad at race sims).
All in all he said its a great experience and it was relatively easy to put on your head and setup the straps/view etc.
He can basically use it by himself but mentioned again how he would need something for his myopia (mostly left eye he has 4.0 or something like that) so he can rock some Elite Dangerous easier
.
He placed the headset back where he got it from..
Hope this helps
