Of the VR headsets I’ve owned the Bigscreen Beyond 2 has the worst initial setup of all. The extreme fine tuning required of sub-millimeter IPD changes per lens and the trial & error software settings took me two days.. And yet, for all that, lo I have beheld the most immersive virtual reality ever.

The water was inspired by Sea of Thieves (though could never look as good 🌊🥵) and the best way I could find to have large waves in Source 2 was rigging 644 bones... but hey it worked and I am very proud of the result. 😊

I found some WIP images from my High Seas map that I've never posted. (my favorite part is the environment actually simulates boat rocking) a🧵. Workshop Link: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... #vr #steamvr #steamvrhome

I had to take the 900 photos I needed for this map during brief clear moments between flurries of snowfall. You can still make out some white dots on the model's textures which is some snow. ❄️📷

I'm very happy with how the photogrammetry turned out and how optimized I was able to get it. I know SteamVR Home environments may be niche in VR now but I hope the people who do try it enjoy it.

Hi, I put maps on SteamVR Home and soon to be VRChat:

A VR screenshot of photogrammetry from Mount Wellington, overlooking Hobart. The rocky foreground leads to the city far below, with bays and hills under a blue sky with clouds. A SteamVR Home environment using photogrammetry of Mars at the Perseverance landing site, featuring a Portal weighted cube on the rocky surface, with a rover wheel in the foreground and a barren landscape under a hazy sky. A Gaussian splat screenshot of a sidewalk scene with a leafy tree casting shadows over a wooden bench. A storefront and street are visible in the background. The splatting effect appears along the edges, giving the foliage and sky a blurred, abstract quality. A SteamVR Home environment using photogrammetry of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, viewed from below. Showing the bridge's steel structure and stone pillar on the right, with greenery at the base and Sydney Harbour in the background under a clear blue sky.
