Why we haven't heard about CV2 yet. This makes sense for a change..

I just did a search on Google for CV2, just to see if there was any news. I came across this article and while none of this might be true, I think it sounds about right. It makes total sense to me so I thought I'd share it. I don't think he's right about Santa Cruz been CV2 though. Do you reckon this guys right about what he's saying?

That article is old and we have seen glimpses of what CV2 will be and what it will contain. Do a search for "Half Dome Prototype"

SC <> CV2

It was a fun rumor for awhile, especially for anyone who was hoping that Facebook-Oculus had "abandoned PCVR." But thanks to the half dome prototype stuff recently showcased, there's no doubt that a true CV2, as a PCVR unit, is in the works.

CV1 is awesome and it happened just when I was getting bored with 2D gaming. I can't imagine how awesome CV2 is going to be and I really can't wait to see it. I hope they produce loads when it goes on sale otherwise they will crash the internet with their pre-orders..

Thanks for sharing @RedRizla  - had missed the write-up back in December, but many of us were talking about CV2 being SC for some time, and have had to endure the comments. I agree with the proposal that now with more news of other PC-high-end prototype headsets we may be closer to a CV2 replacement to CV1 - but we also need to see the real appetite for high-end PC based VR peripherals that FB will ensure against their core aspiration of Social VR.

I think some people are going to be upset when CV2 comes out.  A lot of people seeem to think CV2 will be massively better than CV1.  I know CV2 will be better than CV1.  I just think it is not going to be the massive upgrade some people think it will be.

Some people are always going to upset about anything that happens, even if it’s better than our wildest imaginings.

Personally, I don’t think Oculus will release a CV2 unless it is a massive upgrade over CV1. It won’t just be incremental improvements in resolution or FOV, it will also include game-changing new features, as demonstrated by the Half Dome prototype. 

DK2, CV1, Go, Quest, Quest 2, Quest 3.

Yep I would agree with that also.
Apparently they are not too concerned with these incremental updates coming out to other headsets.

Newer is not always better.

I think there is one fundamental development that guarantees that a successor to the CV1 is in the works and that it will be a PC high-end:

The issue however is that this may not be with us within the time-frame some of "VR enthusiasts" would demand, and may also not be the main focus moving forwards, (depending on the penetration that SC achieves).
