Zenbane said:For starters, they are not sticking by their original source at all, because their original source said that they are "cancelling the Rift." This new source reports a new Rift called the "Rift S." These are blatant contradictions.
Not really. The original source said they were canceling the Rift 2 design that Iribe favored. That does not mean there will never be another Rift.

I would be excited by that prospect as well, unless they take a leap backwards in the tracking department...

Bring it on. I can't wait to replace my current Rift with a new one even if it's marginally better. And...at this rate it would probably arrive before my Pimax HMD.

i like the idea of a hybrid solution..... would probly mean 2x constellation sensors would be perfect. combine that with VR link support and usb load woes will be over.hell i like the "idea" of inside out tracking but it has to be at least as good as a current 3 sensor constellation set up.

Constantly setting them up is a pain?
I set up my sensors in January - one in each corner of the ceiling in my room. They have provided flawless tracking since, without any intervention - and I use my Rift pretty much every day. So I don't know what you are doing, but it sounds a right ballsache.
Edit: They are also well out of the way - so having them set up all the time is not a problem in any way.

Entertaining the Rift S rumor for a second,Who is to say that it wouldn't have the option of connecting to a PC anyway? Many people openly stated that they wanted the Quest to connect to a PC. Perhaps the Rift S would give that option. Afterall, what would truly make the Rift S different from Quest anyway? If we just go by the rumor.
