Hello everyone.
I wanted to make a thread about what i received recently.
This is the Nofio Module. A Wireless add-on for the Valve Index.
It allows me to play VR Games wirelessly but with the quality features of the Valve Index. So i can enjoy the high framerate, the field of vue, the speakers, the microphone, you know it.
Of course it also means the joy of having more batteries to charge. But for that i also have a EOZ pack with a spare battery that i can hot swap to keep play with very little annoyance.
I will start to use it every time now (of course, won’t unplug it each time i want to do long sessions), so i will update this thread with my experiences and feedback about it.
Edit: After a few days of use
From there this works especially well. I used it in various situations, chill worlds, action worlds, music worlds.
The quality is great and the video compression algorithm works pretty well… for the most part.
When you start to have some worlds with a lot of small details, it has a tendency of blurring everything. For example grass or a worlds with lots of small objects being in view. I also encountered some rare use cases where the algorithm mistaken some color contrasts to angular shapes, and by so pixelates then.
The weight distribution is good and balanced, but the inertia of it makes some movements a little awkward to do fast. I’ll wait to go in the VRDancing World to try it further.
I know that’s something i wouldn’t have with a Beyond but it would mean cable again, but it would definitely be more tight to my face.
Also I’ll add that the module being on the back of the headset makes the knob harder to grab, making fighting the headset to your face more tedious.
I’ll try to use it is more various use cases, needing more details, or more fluidity, depending on the situation.
