Hi All

I am now seriously considering picking up a Rift. I only have a small room to use it in with some space to move backward and forwards but only a few feet to move side to side. So I may end up playing a lot of games sat down.
I was thinking of placing the two sensors above the top left and right corners of my 55" wall mounted tv
so the sensors would be approx 6 feet off the ground. I cannot mount them in the top corners of the room and will not be able to mount a sensor behind me.

I have been hearing lots of stories about people having setup issues and having to keep going back and re-setup their Oculus. I'm not particularly interested in buying a system that requires constant maintenance and pampering in order to work. If the Rift is that fussy I may go for a Windows mixed reality headset instead.

I would appreciate any advise re setting up the two Oculus sensors just above the top corners of my TV and if it will give me an accurate experience with the sensors? My seated position is approx 8 feet from the TV so if standing it will be around 6 feet.

Hi All

Many thanks for all your feedback it's extremely helpful. I have been looking at the new Pimax HMD for a while but isn't that going to require me to spend large amounts on a GPU to drive it?

Currently have a 1060 6GB on the system I'll be using this headset with.

Thanks again
 
So I picked up a Rift and am loving it so far although it does seem very fussy about where you position the visor on your face otherwise the images are blurry.

I currently have the sensors on their stands on the AV cupboard in front of me. But want to mount them on the top corners of my 55" wall mounted TV.
Can anyone recommend some tidy solutions for doing this?

Many thanks

I'm not looking to dismantle the sensors just remove them from their stands and find some way to mount them to the back of the TV not the wall
 
Yes I know they unscrew (exclamation not required) I was interested to hear what people are using to mount the sensors to the backs of tv's.
I don't have the time to research 3D printing something
