using VR headset in debian



Dear Folks,

I have been researching VR headsets a little recently.  There seems to be two main makes - Oculus and HTC Vive that are useful with a PC at present.

Oculus had been selling a development version of their device but now they are bringing out a newer model for consumers.

Some web sites like Phoronix etc seem to think that running VR headsets in linux is not difficult.

Others seem to say that e.g. Oculus stopped supporting linux and only works properly on MS Windows.

Which headset would be best to use with debian?

The price of these devices is quite high.   But Oculus sold a development model that you can buy e.g. on ebay second hand for a more reasonable sum.

The reviews of the new Oculus model which compare it with the development device are odd in that some think it is a big improvement and others think it is a disappointment.

Has anyone tried running the steam OS package with a VR headset in debian?

Comments appreciated.

Regards

Michael Fothergill
