if you want a boxing sim it is excellent. visually a bit rough but easily worth that imo
One of the most intense games in VR, which will get you sweaty so make sure you protect your headset by wearing a tube scarf, bandana or thin beanie (I use a thin running beanie) while playing.
It's also a good idea to use a PU VR cover, silicone cover, or washable cotton over covers for your facial interface to keep the sweat off. Good advice really for any intense VR exercise.
It's a bargain. Careful not to overextend your punches as you can get sore.
Thanks I bought it this morning
But not sure if i be able to play it as there nowhere in the house that has a min of 6.5ft x 6.5ft of free space

Not sure if the sensors need walls or something to bounce off to work..
Plus feel i look like a complete idiot playing this game somewhere outside

Works outside, if it's not sunny, for me.
Also you can play thrill of the fight in smaller spaces, just not quite as good as having a whole ring. Have played it in the garden.

Glad to see you guys are not using it outside on a sunny day. When I first got it, I borked a quest 2 when I used it in my garden on a summer day. Sunlight directly on lenses. Lesson learned the hard way.

so they don't need walls to bounce off so long as it's not a completely uniform surrounding (otherwise the quest 1 would not have worked). quest 2 does seem more finikety with outside tracking . as for looking an idiot. not a concern for me. that ship sailed a long time agoNot sure if the sensors need walls or something to bounce off to work..

The latest Humble Bundle is racing games, and at least a couple of them are VR capable:

Probably well worth the tenner just for Automobilista 2.
I suspect that 20% of wheels deal is useless outside the US though. Shame - the idea of it was tempting me to consider upgrading my Logitech G920 to that Thrustmaster T248. It looks very swish!
Off topic: Has anyone used both wheels and can compare?

That's a deal and a half. Good find!
I'm using this strap with my Quest 2 and it's been brilliant. For that price it's a no-brainer.
