VR Chair

Are there any chairs that are good for VR gaming?

All the gaming chairs I have seen have high backs which must be annoying when you have wires sprouting out of the back of your head.

I've managed quite well with a DX racer chair with high back. I am more worried about getting the cable caught around the arm or running it over. a lot of what I play is racing or transport simulation so I just lift up a little excess cable and tuck it behind me so I can still swing my head left/right without snagging.

You could build your own like forum member ThereIs0nly0ne has :eek:

DIY Sim rig with integrated Sensor (this can be twisted for Touch purposes):

New project - DIY Space Simulation Seat for VR purposes (mainly Elite Dangerous). Hope to complete this when the weather warms up:

The gaps on the side pods will be used to mount a HOTAS.

I have fully embraced VR!

i've gone wireless with the tpcast now so wires coming out of the back of my head are no longer the problem. The problem now is that I've got a foot long battery coming out of my ass, so any chair has to have a hole to let it hang free...
