By play do you mean as a consumer of content or a producer of content?
I have a Rift and play Elite Dangerous several times a week. Otherwise the software situation is quite dire with no content that can match the depth of typical AAA titles.
The lack of motion tracked controllers is a problem right now as it blocks access to a lot of Steam games.
- malnourish 10y agoAre the Oculus Touch controllers motion tracked? And by motion tracked do you mean e.g. how the Vive controllers perform?
- arielweisberg 10y agoYes they are motion tracked. They have inertial sensors and are tracked by cameras just like the Rift headset. Early reports are that they work about as well as the Vive controllers. We'll know more towards the end of the year when they are slated to be widely available. The great thing about Valve's approach to VR is that they have been very open and committed to compatibility with Rift hardware and aren't playing favorites with hardware. To Valve a motion tracked controller is a motion tracked controller. People are using stuff like Razer Hydra to play Steam games with tracked controllers and the Rift today.
- moron4hire 10y agoYes, they are, but very few people have them. Oculus hopes to have 5,000 copies out by the end of the year, whereas HTC has already sold over 100,000 units. Oculus Touch is a great device, but your just not going to see it available or supported very well for a very significant amount of time.
