So forgive me for not follwing along with news on the Quest, but is this basically just a GearVR that comes with (essentially) a samsung S8 (or similar) baked in to it from the factory?
- bencoder 8y agoQuest uses inside-out tracking (cameras on the device to perform feature-detection and SLAM) to give full 6dof headset and controller tracking. The GearVR and other current stand alone headsets only track rotation via gyroscope, which is much more limited
- King-Aaron 8y agoThanks (and thanks to Mindwipe as well) for the answer - I'm only just dipping my toes in VR at this point!
- Mindwipe 8y agoThat was the Oculus Go. The Quest is slightly higher end in tracking and having 6DOF, but lower end than a full Rift setup.
- bni 8y agoAlso Quest has a custom cooling solution with fans, that makes a large difference. Slotting in a smartphone doesn't have cooling optimised for this kind of use case at all.
