3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I wanted to get myself a BigScreen VR for Christmas. In order to get one, you need to do a 3d depth face scan using an IOS device that has privacy settings and content blockers set to as permissive as possible. Except even after doing that it doesn’t work. The solution literally listed on the customer support site was to either try someone else’s IOS device, or to fucking drive to an Apple Store and hope they let u plug ur email into their germy, who knows what software’s running on it, demo iPhones and hope it successfully runs their shitty WebKit app.

Couldn’t get the face scan working, definitely not gonna plug my email into a demo iPhone, and I’m pretty sure I don’t live near an Apple Store anyways.

BigScreen can get fucked, stick with Steam Index VR

Why is it apple only. Do the lastest Android devices not have the tech to take the scan well enough?

No, Android devices don't have faceid

Not necessarily, some of them do. Probably not enough to warrant developing an app for it though.

I am not aware of any that use the same 3D scanning Apple does, personally. Though to be fair, it is not a feature I actively look out for either.

Pixel 4, for one
