Been thinking of getting a VR setup specifically for elite dangerous. I dont know if i want to commit space to it right now though... But the idea of being able to fly through space and have the voices from star trek tng as assistants is so appealing.
I have the Oculus Rift, the CV1, not the newer "S". Actually we have 2 of them. One for me and one for my son. We bought wall hangars that you can stick on the wall with 3M (yeah F-U 3M) command strips. Mine are way high on the wall, less than 3 feet from corner of the room on each side. MY desk is in the corner. I have the sensors angled out and just a tad back towards where I sit. They work great, and do not take up much space that way.
Got the wall hangars off Ebay, People make all kinds of them with 3D printers.
Elite in V.R. will blow you away. You really do not understand the scale of the game, till you come riding up to you Anaconda, Cutter, Corvette on the planets surface in your SRV. When i first got it I did get motion sickness a few times racing around on a planets surface in the SRV, but once you get used to it, it makes Elite a total different experience.
Also SkyrimVR modded is another awesome experience.
EDIT: Also I use voice attack for Elite. So I never really need to see the computer. I use a HOTAS. I also use Ivona voice with a British female voice to respond to my spoken commands. One of the most immersive experiences ever.
The fact that you can literally use the voices from og star trek and tng for this just blows me away.
Ive hesitated buying elite so far, i figured i want my initial experience with it to be in vr.
Maybe some day. Probably when I move into a house, which is going to be delayed by the nonsense world we live in right now.
Gotcha. it is worth it! Keep an eye out on Ebay, if you do not want to invest heavily. Can find good used CV1's every once in awhile. That's where i got my 2. I have had then for a couple of years, and no problems. Yeah you can get the pre-made voices, and they work great. What I did with going the route of purchasing an Ivona voice, is it allowed me to make my own keybindings and commands, and allowing custom responses. Instead of being tied to the pre-made ones, but either way is awesome.
