- causality0 4y agoMy bad, I meant the Oculus Go.
- Stevvo 4y agoGo you can still use just fine too. I watch movies on mine from time to time. They unlocked the bootloader last year so you can do whatever you want with for years to come.
- jazzyjackson 4y agothis is like henry ford's "whatever color you want" its unlocked, but all the new proprietary VR apps are not going to be backwards compatible with it. (not to drag it too much, I hope to be working on the open source side of the metaverse, but I think OP has a point about forward compatibility, there's very little reason to throw down good money for another headset with a limited lifespan, we're still in that early adoption / fast trash phase)
- Miraste 4y agoNothing would be compatible with it anyway. It’s too slow and it only has a single controller with only 3 degrees of freedom. It’s not a VR problem or even a proprietary problem, just rapid improvement. The Go existing at all was probably a mistake. It was a good test bed but it was always headed for immediate deprecation, it could’ve just stayed in the lab.
- Stevvo 4y agoTo this day the Go is actually one of my favorite headsets, and I have owned many. The small controller and form factor are great for travel and I can comfortably watch a movie with it on the plane, which can't be said for most headsets. That said, whilst it is a great device for watching movies, that is really all it was ever good for.
- darzu 4y agoFor instance, my Rift 2’s left controller died for unknown reasons and Meta has been “out of stock” for a year on this part and the Rift 1 controller is “discontinued”. You can’t even find it on ebay. $500 out the window.
