Okay, after doing some research I believe it will work, so if you're willing to sink around 140-160 USD into kinda scuffed VR:

first you'll need a phone with a gyroscope (IOS or Android). follow this tutorial to the point where you can make sure the software will work properly with your PC and Phone (note that the IPhone version of the app does not support wired USB connections): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=offw_MiPKq8

If the software works, you should purchase the full version in-app for 10 USD. (the trail only lasts 15 minutes of up-time)

then you need any phone-strap VR headset, a leap motion controller ( https://www.ultraleap.com/product/leap-motion-controller/ ) (around 90 USD), and the VR mount. ( https://www.ultraleap.com/product/vr-developer-mount/ ) (around 20 USD)

then download controller emulation drivers for the leap motion controller and install following the directions: https://github.com/SDraw/driver_leap (controls are listed as well)

If all goes well, you should have a working VR set-up with hand tracking for almost half the cost of a Quest (not counting the cost of your phone)

Cons:
1. 3DoF headset and low refresh rate means lots of motion sickness and your movements are not 100% translated
2. Your phone screen is probably not very high res, so everything is going to look pixelated.
3. Still requires a VR-ready PC
4. The controls are pretty wonky.
5. You may need to have a secondary controller to move around with/use menus depending on the game.
6. your hands are only tracked while near your field of vision.

Pros:
1. only ~150 USD
2. Hand tracking allows for controller emulation, so you can play most games as if you had a vive wand controller.
3. leap motion is reusable for other headsets that don't have native hand tracking.

anyone else get hella petscop vibes from some of this for whatever reason

The Northwest Community Bail Fund has been covering bail for any demonstrators arrested while expressing their first amendment rights to speech and protest.
https://www.nwcombailfund.org/

The Seattle PD have started kettling and mass-arresting as a tactic to try to end the demonstrations- that and increasing bail costs have caused the fund to dwindle.

They need donations now more than ever!

Do you know someone who has been #arrested and is being held in #jail on #bail in #Seattle? Good news: there's help available to get them out!

Every once in a while someone on here will say "why cw your images with 'uncaptioned', you're just telling people with screenreaders to get fucked" and I think about how the only person I know on this webbed site who I'm 100% sure uses a screenreader for real once said "omg thank you so much for cwing uncaptioned images"

believe it or not, i think instance admins should have an idea of what is going across their public timeline

and when i visit your instance and you're federating with multiple instances that post loli and gore and freeze peach garbage... that's a defed

its that simple
