I can't bother with VR until it's achieved a good wireless solution; I don't need "games" so much as interesting experiences anyway, so I'm curious how this plays out.

Im interested at that price, now what cant i do on this that i wont be able to on a pc rift or vive? Will touch controllers work with it?

I don't get the standalone thing... i still need to plug it to my PC to play VR games right?
Standalone means it can run on its own. You dont need to plug it to a smartphone, Pc or consoleI don't get the standalone thing... i still need to plug it to my PC to play VR games right?
I am not sure if you are joking, but no standalone means everything is contained in the headset.
Its likely not going to run PC rift or vive content.
Oculus has 2 upcoming standalone VR headsets: Santa Cruz and Oculus Go.
Oculus Go will be $199 and is weaker than Santa Cruz. Oculus Go will be providing mobile VR experience (it share the same library as Gear VR), while Santa Cruz is more likely to support high end VR titles (Vive/Rift)
I think Oculus Touch wouldn't be compatible due to different tracking method. Oculus Go support a remote but its possible they might release a new Oculus Go touch controller down the road.

- The device is basically a high end mobile device, so you can expect a target of 150k polys and 200 draw calls.
- From testing, tracking is really robust and doesn't seem to break even in edge cases.
- One of the oculus devs was taken on a tour of dead and buried, in a room that was about 100m long, and tracking was solid all throughout.
- Press are getting demos, today, with no word on developer availability.
I can assure you I am not jocking, I don't know anything about VR.
Thanks for the hearty chuckle! :]A GearVR doesnt cost $900 because it needs an $800 phone,
"Nobody" is way to restrictive, but I guess we can agree thinking in general isn't a given.nobody in the world thinks like that.
ah ok. Well if you aren't familiar with DoF (Degrees of Freedom) I can expand on that to highlight the difference between the two.
3 DoF Headsets like GearVR and OculusGo only track your head/neck movements, but they can't track translation. Ex: If you are sitting in a car and lean forward to get closer to read something your view in game won't change. This can also cause a lot of motion sickness because in the real world you leaned forward, but in the game you are still just sitting there.
Current headsets like Rift, Vive, PSVR are 6 DoF headsets and they use cameras/sensors to track your movement in the real world. so take the same example from above if you leaned forward you view in game would lean forward.
Windows headsets and the upcoming Santa Cruz headsets are also 6 DoF headsets, but they utilize inside out tracking which removes the need for external cameras/sensors because they are placed in the headset and look outwards and map the enviroment around you.

There are a billion VR games on GearVR, and all of those run on the Go.Shouldn't porn watching accessories be in off-topic section ?
And kidding aside what gaming content it can even do ?
hmmm the more I read, the less I want it if I want to experience games at their fullest (is it the right word?)
I see people are still creaming their pants over "Just as Palmer would have wanted" but can someone please explain why.
I'm also confused.
Palmer was involved with (or created) a non-profit called Nimble America that was involved in some alt-right meme stuff and he eventually left (or was removed) from the company.
So the fact that the OculusGo is white is just like Palmer would have wanted.

Can we please give this guy a tag!!Just as Palmer would have wanted
Without real specs this sounds like a spruced up Gear VR which doesnt really do much to peak my interest

I'm still confused on this. I get that mobile phones are overpriced to a degree, but no way are you getting top end mobile chips for $200.

This image from reddit will give a good idea on how the 2 new oculus headsets are positioned in their product range.
Gear VR < Oculus Go(standalone) < Santa Cruz headset(standalone) < Oculus Rift (pc)
for those with no idea on what santa cruz is, it was announced with Oculus Go.
Santa Cruz project dev kits are going out to devs in 2018 with 6DoF (ie. positionally tracked) controllers that don't require sensors or base stations of any sort.
PURE CAPSAICINJust as Palmer would have wanted
I'm highly skeptical at $200
Would be great if it's actually good
Oh... I think I'm losing touch with GAF because I just don't find this stuff outrageously funny as others seem to do.
so are we expecting santa cruz at ~$300?
