So the Valve Index turns 1 years old today! It was June 28 last year that it was born. Good news for PCVR. Keep that momentum going!
Happy Birthday, Index, you bulky controller mofo ❤️
A good article for tips and tricks:

" [...] seems the article is 90% about Index problems. I've experienced none of those issues. Personally I think Valve made an amazing hmd, there are no mods I need to make, seems like a complete waste of time and effort. But sure, SteamVR res 200% looks awesome in games where you still can get 1:1 fps:Hz. Compared to my CV1, Index colors pop at least as much, I've had no problems with brightness, which I've kept at 100% the last year. My main issue with the Index is the columns, and these aren't even mentioned in the article."
Seems like everyone knows better than Valve how to design hmds these days 😉

"Made for Index and released today! Extreme resolution and photorealism, free demo" - yup, I'm defenseless against such pick up lines :blush:https://youtu.be/rqxFbC-95w4
But 22GB for a non-game where I can't shoot stuff or drive or fly or kill someone with a sword :#
Then again... >:)

The devs weren't kidding, this app truly is awesome. Maybe they could call it Vacation Simulator for adults 😉
The res is very high - and furthermore I get solid 90 fps with Index res 200%. Landscapes aren't flat photos, but are made with textured polygons.
You can go places you probably can't in the real world, because you're walking so close to edges and you would not survive a fall. I don't think any guide would be allowed to take turists to such places. But you are safe in VR.
You can only teleport. Graphics are similar to The Lab, when you visit for example the cave in Iceland.
Of course it's not the same as being at these locations in the real world, but it'll probably be close enough for many. Using Index res 200% I felt like I could see several miles away, the view distance was awesome. This app shines using high-res hmds, I'm sure Reverb may be the winner, but the big fov is great with the Index.
For the elderly, or persons having difficulties visiting these places in the real world, Blueplanet VR is an awesome option to get out while staying at home 🙂 9/10 in my book - for now.

Maybe some of us have been lucky with our CV1s, and CV1s had their share of problems too (like glue under the lenses etc.) - but that said, my CV1 has never had any issues - can't say that about my Index.
The main issue with the Index may be that when paying 1k people expect a premium product in every way, and that's not the case with the Index kit.
