I'm just curious to know if we have had some bullshit thrown our way by Oculus. They kept saying they weren't abandoning PC -VR, but they have certainly made it look like it's not a priority by leaving Rift -S to Lenovo.

The bottom line is: If you're an enthusiast, Oculus is not for you. And don't hold your breath for a cv2.
Only Valve can save us now.

Although there's another way to look at that:Oculus had Xiaomi make the Go, while they worked on the superior Quest themselves.Oculus had Lenovo make the Rift-S, while they __________.Did working with Samsung mean they abandoned mobile?Did working with Xiaomi mean they abandoned mobile?

So what do you think Abrash will show and say at OC6? Nothing? Or the Half Dome prototype again and tell us that instead of 2022 we can expect it in 2025 or maybe even 2028 on their standalone and PC VR headsets..? That's not going to happen.
Feel free to watch OC6 in 5 or 6 months and then start a thread called, 'Yup, the snowdog was right...I bow down to his infinite wisdom'
B)
Oculus aren't going to fall behind too much in terms of technology, but they WILL delay things until the technology is READY. We've already seen this with the Vive controllers and Touch controllers.
Other companies will have higher resolution displays, higher FOV, eye tracking and foveated rendering before Oculus do, but Oculus will do it BETTER and CHEAPER.
Well they can SHOW anything - it doesn't mean it'll come out as we saw with last OC. So the argument there doesn't hold as much water as it would've in the past. Not that it can't happen - but as I said above - I dont think their goal is the same as it was just a year ago.
Most of what OC6 will be about is Quest, Software, and how devs need to work hard to get their games onto it and working with the limits of the current vision tracking along with porting from PC over to it.
As for demo of the future - they will go more into what they are working on - planning on in the future - an updated half dome - more information in how far they got with focal point technology and FOVA that information out. Short of that - we wont know anything else. I mean we wont know as much as we did last OC5. We will know they they are working on a GO2 but lack any information on if and when something might come out with them being vage again saying, "With in the next 5, 10, 15 years we will see xxx, xxxx, xxx-xxx".
I am not saying they are behind - base off my past post - they are very much a head - so they might be sitting on that research to, as you said, wait till it gets cheaper. Over all - their focus right now is Quest and its very clear they want it to be a success for the future of VR.

And they're not focussing on the Quest only, they're developing ALL THREE of their product lines simultaneously. This is why you're seeing all three headsets sharing certain features. You'll see F8 and OC6 covering the Quest, the Rift S and the Half Dome prototype.

Unless they say something at F8 this year - I am not holding my breath for another 3 years just to find out:)
