Speculation for OC4:


- ‘Standalone’ headset release date and price hinted at



- Announce branding changes / restructuring



- Announce deal with Apple



- Stepping down of one of the remaining founders



- Announce new all in one Samsung headset



- Demonstration of new AR project (Magic Leap killer)

If he did it would be 500 million cheaper  😄
Look, man. I only need to know one thing: where they are.

Release of a major update to OH with interactive environments and ability to invite others. Access to PC data and browser, simple games. Facebook has spent years building an environment that you don't have to leave for many things. OH is a place you have no desire to stay in.

I don't know where we need to get to so that we are no longer running Beta firmware but by OC4 we'll be over 18 months since launch, if it's not done by then I'll assume CV1 is a destined to be a big beta experiment.

Anything software announced that's been developed internally, don't do it unless it's somewhere near completion. Facebook Spaces was demoed at OC3 and 8/9 months later it still doesn't function as well as what was shown on stage. When you do that, you're setting yourself for criticism. 

Unify the whole store experience across web, in app, in headset. At the moment it's a fudge and they all operate differently (and not effectively). I'd like to see a full description in headset, in app footage (2D and VR), reviews, discussions, some idea what an update has done (oculus apps are actually the worst for this in app, they say nothing). Just give us the impression that you're putting some real effort into the user experience please.

App screenshots in VR have been available to be implemented by developers since day one via Cube Maps, just that NONE of them has taken advantage of it yet for some reason.

Apple? I doubt it, to be honest.
I also doubt there will be a Magic Leap killer.
Excuse my bad english. I speak to you through the google translator. 😛
