Note : If you add me, please drop a comment on this profile noting why and who you are. Even then I won't accept every invite, I talk to way too many different people for that to make sense. 🙇‍♂️

Who am I? A dedicated VR enthusiast, tester and tools programmer, have been doing VR gaming since 2013 with the release of the Oculus Rift DK1, and then never stopped. Currently I'm using the Valve Index.

I did paid VR user testing with FishbowlVR for almost half a decade and close to a hundred tests, and since they closed down I do voluntary testing in the form of first impression videos I send to developers. Other than that I also do streaming on Twitch and the occasional YouTube video.

The tool to use to analyze your system performance when playing virtual reality games using SteamVR:
  • Optional in-game overlay with performance metrics, various settings for position and what data to display.
  • Clear graphs of frame time, colorized to show when you are not meeting frame-rate.
  • Direct values for effective frames per second and your session average.
  • Can log accumulated performance values for game sessions, browse them with the included history viewer.
  • Export performance reports from the history viewer, formatted for Reddit/Discord etc.
It also provides various other utilities in the same interface, out of which I use these:
  • Desktop utilities to press buttons, I regularly use alt-tab through this to access the desktop if the game will not release focus.
  • The floor fix for when my space is miscalibrated, that is my virtual floor does not match my physical one.
  • The spin-indicator to keep track of my turns and unspin my cable.
  • The center marker to keep track of where I am in my space, and it can be customized with a branded image which I use for streaming.
And a pro-tip. By default the application shows up as a played game, if you want it to be more discreet you can add the below as a launch parameter and it will not register as running by the Steam client:

Keke, considering how much I spend on myself it's easy to throw things at other people too lol, hopefully it can be entertaining for five minutes at least :nyaa:

Ah, in that case sure 😁 I don't have a lot of time for testing so if you have specific areas I should look that would help, or if you are happy with a short first impressions recording of the start I'll just do that. When I did testing for FishbowlVR that's the most common test, first impressions with verbalized thoughts.

@Tailwhip: It looks exciting but the store page makes it seem like it's made for Meta headsets which I don't have one, I'm running a Valve Index 😅
DESIGNED FOR RIFT, RIFT-S, [QUEST + QUEST2 + LINK CABLE]

Hello, I like your review of Eye of the temple, I'm curious would you be interested in beta testing my Tomb Explorer VR game? You would not be able to post anything on socials or anywhere as its a closed beta. I feel you can make the game better experience. Please let me know if your interested.
