Oculus Connect 5 will tell us the future of VR

Oculus says it'll preview the next five years of Virtual Reality at Oculus Connect 5, on Sept. 26-27 in San Jose, California.

The Facebook-owned brand hosts its Oculus Connect conference every year, where it shows off its new developments in the world of VR. Curious what Facebook has in mind for the next stage of VR? Oculus Connect is probably the best place to find out.

Oculus says that it'll use Connect 5 to celebrate how much VR has accomplished in the past five years. It also claims it will "offer a sneak peek at what to expect in the next five years to come." We're eager to find out what that means.

Last year, Oculus unveiled the Oculus Go at Connect 4. The Oculus Go doesn't require you to be tethered to a phone/PC/gaming console and only costs $200, which makes it one of the best VR setups for the masses.

At Oculus Connect 3, the company announced VR chats for up to eight people and a release date for the Oculus Touch controllers to help navigate VR.

We'll find out what comes next in September.

@snowdog - well I'm just looking at it from my perspective. If Santa Cruz and CV2 were a year apart I might consider a Santa Cruz. But something near Six months apart and I would wait for CV2. To me it's a bit like those people who own a Rift already and have purchased an Oculus GO, if you get my drift..

Why on earth would you consider a Santa Cruz instead of a CV2? It isn't a high-end PC VR headset. You'd be better off getting a high-end PC VR headset from one of Oculus' competitors like Pimax.

For us yes CV2 > a SC, but if you are a n avg Joe looking at it the first time - would you know all the key differences and fully understand what you are getting along with not getting? I am going to guess not. SC is the "in the middle" talk and people are going to take that it is what PC can do as well. We know better - but Joe Blow really doesn't and that is going to cause the problems right there when they do learn and want something different instead or say xyz wasn't good enough when they were better off starting out with a SC or a CV2 instead. This year is SC and GO and next will be CV2 I am going to bet.
