I thought VR was a goofy gimmick until I bought an Oculus Quest and played with it.
From my point of view they drastically improved both the Oculus brand and the overall opinion of VR as a usable technology.
Oculus may have done that without Facebook or it may have stayed tethered to a PC and continued to be awkward to use. I don't really know.
- chaostheory 5y agoI don't feel that Oculus could have done it alone with the Quest 2. Facebook's big contribution is the $300 price discount that they're eating with every Quest 2 unit sold.

- chaostheory 5y agoSeriously asking, is there any other inside out system that works well? From my experience, WMR is terrible at that.
- xarope 5y agoI really like the Quest 2 as a standalone (non-tethered) device, I hope FB doesn't end up killing it...!
