Okay, quick update. I found an HDMI extender that's, like, 15 ft long, so I don't think I'm going to need a USB C extender in that regard, potentially.

Keep in mind that my current configuration is now pc to powered USB hub #1 to USB extender to unpowered USB hub number two to hmd

I've got a pretty gnarly setup with the pulleys, with the last four pulleys set in the triangle configuration so that I can move through 360°. Doubling up certain sections compensated for the weight of the long cords and now the entire setup hugs the ceiling pretty well!

I bought the typical three Vive trackers and one lighthouse and fiddled with a few add-ons to steam VR to get it all to play together with my Odyssey plus headset. With one more lighthouse I might be able to fill my very large play area finally.

One very important note ....you'll get carried away playing games and dancing like a fool when you're free to move around your play space and that can definitely torque the cords and yank them out of the headset causing the thing to go dead permanently. Even spinning in place too many times can permanently damage the cable and it's bye bye VR for a while.

I've reinforced the cord Management on the headset with gorilla tape to make absolutely sure the line has some extra resistance from being yanked out of the motherboard. That's what happened the day I got the full body setup I'd been saving up for for months.

I slapped the trackers on, adjusted the lighthouse , fiddled up with the software and an hour later I was raving out like an idiot and permanently killed my Lenovo explorer.

I'm fairly sure it was the 720 spin plus the full split that I dropped partying with friends after a few drinks in VRC. The screen went black and in a panic I spent the next three hours until 4:00 a.m. fiddling with the cord and reinstalling drivers and software. I fought back tears as I dipped into my savings and bought a new headset the next day, begging like an addict going cold turkey for the seller to expedite shipping and boost insurance.

I want to save anyone freeing up their play space from the emotional trauma that I experienced. Make sure your cord wrangling is secure and make sure your headset isn't getting torqued from you turning too much. They even make steam VR add-ons to give you a visual cue at your feet when you turn your body

VR technology is fascinating and cool but is anything but ruggedized for now!
