I have mixed feelings about the Oculus and FB’s ownership. I would like an open platform but I appreciate both the more than adequate Oculus hardware and some excellent VR experiences created by both Oculus and many 3rd parties.
I might still buy a manufactured open platform system, depending on available experiences. I would also definitely buy an “Oculus 2” that had a higher resolution screen and slightly lighter weight.
I really like the recent Oculus software update that allows some games and VR experiences to be used without controllers by recognizing hand gestures. I hope there is a lot of exploration of new ideas based around no controller use.
Hopefully open platform VR headsets will be adopted by university research teams as well as commercial content creators. Hobbyists creators are to be encouraged but they are not enough to get widespread adoption.
- moron4hire 6y agoYou mean 3? We're already on Oculus' second generation.
- mark_l_watson 6y agoThanks, I meant "Quest 2" - I only kept my Oculus Go for 1 week, then gave it to my grandson. I get a lot of value from my Oculus Quest which I bought last year.
- Tijdreiziger 6y agoThe Quest 2 is rumored to be releasing this month, but you'll be forced to log in with Facebook to use it.
- mark_l_watson 6y agoI will probably get it. I just spent 20 minutes playing the Quest ping pong game - amazing game physics and general gameplay.
