I'm at Oculus Connect 5 right now and you can try it out. It's a finished product, not a concept or prototype. It's one of the coolest things. EVER!

  I've read the screen's refresh rate is 72 Hz, lower than the 90 Hz that Oculus/Valve have been pushing as a minimum for immersive VR. Did this seem like a problem, or does it feel good enough? I know the Go already runs at 72 or 60 Hz, but without positional tracking it was never going to be particularly immersive no matter what framerate it had.

    In Carmack’s talk today he said many people find 60hz uncomfortable, but far fewer need 80hz to feel comfort. And 72hz is 3x 24fps which most videos play in so it helps for smooth video playback. And 96hz would be a substantial performance hit.

    For me, it's not a problem. The go runs 72, but most apps don't take advantage of that But it's true that some people are more sensitive to lower refresh rates. As another user said here, Carmack said that with 72 Hz, almost every person should feel fine, so there is almost no upside in bringing it further up.
