But why do we need Oculus Go?? I am struggling to see who this is aimed at?
What are your thoughts on it?
Samsung who make GearVR have now joined Google Daydream to make Androind the Mobile VR standard. If Samsung decide to stop GearVR production in 2018 then the whole Oculus GearVR platform collapses without a HMD to support it.
Oculus ‘GO’ might prolong the life of GearVR beyond Samsung but will it be enough to save it when everyone else supports Daydream?

*cough* Well, the Samsung Gear VR is already the highest-selling VR device on the market by a very wide margin, and yet even that device's market has been limited to people who are willing and able to shell out $600 or more for a phone (and possibly another $100 if they didn't get Gear VR as a free promotion with said phone)
This is a device that costs only $200 total, a tiny fraction of what ANY other decent VR system costs, and is also a better and more refined product in every way. Also it won't eat up your phone's batteries and (presumably) won't cook your face while you're using it.
So I'd say it's aimed at a whole heck of a lot of people. :tongue:
****, I'm probably going to get one, myself.

If I can keep my paid Gear VR apps (Minecraft... etc) then a new daydream and phone isnt a consideration.
