I view the Oculus Quest in the same category as 3D TV right now. Yes, it's REALLY COOL. But 3D TV was also really cool, especially watching Pixar movies which I did all the time when I had one. It has potential, but it's just not there beyond some initial great stuff.
- par 4y agoi dont think 3d tv was ever "really cool".
- smoldesu 4y agoI think you're making a bit of a WiiU-to-Switch comparison here. 3D TV's limitations were overtly prohibitive: not only were the units much more expensive than standard TVs, but they also required additional hardware/headsets. Then there's the problem with resolution and color accuracy, display shimmering, bad viewing angles... 3D TV was never meant to be anything besides a slick demo at your local Best Buy. VR I'm skeptical of, but most of the sticking points I can imagine have been fixed. For $400 you can get a fully-featured plug-and-play headset. That's less than most iPads! That headset will have controllers, inside-out tracking, 6DOF, video passthrough, wireless/standalone capabilities... Meta/Facebook certainly isn't a saint, but the Quest is amazing from a hardware standpoint. Even with the new price bump, these devices still feel oddly undervalued. I bought my Quest 1 a few years ago for the same price, and don't regret it at all.
