This is my general feeling of dealing with the whole process of attempting to get BigsreenVR to 3d face scan me via Safari Mobile IOS so that I could maybe play some silly games.
Alright dudes.
This is like the 12th time you’ve sent me this emails and like the 12th time I’ve tried this
I’ve tried this on my phone
I’ve tried this on my wife’s iPhone
I’ve tried this on my wife’s Ipad
I’ve attached photos showing my setting and yet still I get the stuck on loading screen
(See replies for more)
I wanted to get myself a BigScreen VR for Christmas.
In order to get one, you need to do a 3d depth face scan using an lOS device that has privacy settings and content blockers set to as permissive as possible. Except even after doing that it doesn’t work.
The solution literally listed on the customer support site was to either try someone else’s lOS device, or to fucking drive to an Apple Store and hope they let u plug ur email into their germy, who knows what software’s running on it, demo iPhones and hope it successfully runs their shitty WebKit app.
Couldn’t get the face scan working, definitely not gonna plug my email into a demo iPhone, and I’m pretty sure I don’t live near an Apple Store anyways.
BigScreen can get fucked, stick with Steam Index VR
I returned mine, borrowed a friend’s Iphone for the scan, but I should have definitely gotten an official ipd reading. The set they sent me was really nice, but the ipd was wrong and I’m already kind of susceptible to motion sickness regularly.
I got a discounted pimax for Christmas instead. It’s huge, but has a lot of features I was giving up for the smallness of the bigscreen.
I figured I’d fill in some gaps I left out before about my specific case and why I decided to return the set rather than deal with their support team.
I get motion sickness rather easily. It’s not instant while in VR, but the smallest things (like a smudge on a lens) can cause it to slowly build up until I’m unable to deal with it. That being said, something I wasn’t prepared for was that having a just the custom printed faceplate on my noggin would slowly build up that motion sickness, it’s something about having my vision obscured between my eyes that really set it off.
The only way I could use the supplied headset somewhat was by placing the faceplate lower than it’s supposed to go, which after a bit caused a very unpleasant amount of brow pain. Aside from the ipd being incorrect for me, I feel that the orientation of the print for my faceplate wasn’t set up to direct my eyes to the center of the screens. Support is more than happy to help with this with no charge.
I realized after purchasing it that I’m not the kind of VR player to actually need a slimmed down headset. I’m usually seated, not moving much at all besides my arms, so it’s not like it’s a big deal to just buy a ‘one size fits all’ headset that fits my playstyle a bit better.
