Has anyone tried using longer cables between the PC and the Vive's breakout box?
I bought my Vive mainly for seated simming stuff - Assetto Corsa/DCS/ED etc - and the room that's in is only 2x2.5m so not much use for anything else. I do have a decent sized living room (4x5m) but dragging the computer through is a bit of a PITA and I'm missing out on the room scale stuff.
I found this guide which goes into some detail but wonder if anyone here has tried something similar? Reckon I need about an extra 10m to be on the safe side, which by the sounds of it means active cables and powered extenders.
Also, moving the lighthouse sensors isn't that big a deal but would be much simpler if I didn't also need to move the powersupplies (which are threaded intricately round the back of my desk). A pair of alternative power supplies which I can use in the living room would be very useful if anyone's aware of ones that'll work ok. I would have considered extra lighthouses but the asking price - particularly for a pair - is completely outrageous.
