(Quote) Yeah, that seems to be what the rumors point too - the Quest 2.0 update and a possible new "Quest-Lite" to replace the Oculus Go. And from the announcements Lenovo have been making I doubt any Rift-S news. Its in a diffic…

(Quote) That is a strong point @Luciferous - how much will OC7 be about definitive promises and actual release products. Or in the face of the Index, HL:A, Qualcumm XR Viewer, and now the Reverb G2 will be a game of vauge promises and viel…

Congratulations to the team at NASA and SpaceX for a great launch and successful return. The best to all those involved, including some closer to home. Here is a great little video from inside the capsule (now christened 'Endeavout' by the crew): …

(Quote) This is such a valid point and a recognition that the ecosystem that many brought into and paid hard cash to support has proven restrictive. A CV1 owner may not like the Rift-S, while another is very happy - that is reality, but ma…

(Quote) I need to be more specific with that throwaway comment. And thanks for calling me up on this. The falsehoods were not of Oculus' making - but were the hyperbole that some on forums created and supported. I still see people claimin…

There are three new Asian Standalone VR headsets hitting the market over the last few weeks - they are getting patchy coverage in the West, but are all offering more powerful Snapdragon processors. Seems to be a rash of competition, while I wait to …

(Quote) Its best not to include my speculation with the general hubbub about 5G. I agree its just the latest progression (generation) of the network capability. But from my perspective, the 5G revolution has received investment towards superseding…

(Quote) Yes, remember your posts on the subject from last year, and those that said there would obviously be a high-end Oculus solution on on the horizon! Well I am not sure if that is a game plan for any of the remaining executives now.…

(Quote) Thanks for the observations @Mradr - yeah see your point, and as one that dabbles with AR / MR can apply experience to the consideration of how the current salvage plan will be to position themselves. My main criticism was of the p…

An interesting opinion @inovator - and one shared by a number of observers on the reality of the situation. Obviously this is not a popular view from the high-end PC VR community, and those loyal to the Oculus previous Half Dome presentation promise…

Thats a serious game changer. The license and development environment will encourage a lot more devs to get involved, and the more opened environment will prove an incentive to Indies. Fingers crossed that HP dont mess this up - but its interestin…

We had to spend some time evaluating WinMR platforms for a failed attempt to deploy them into our sector for a specific LBE VR concept. I have to say that the Samsung Odyssey Plus and the HP are great WinMR proponents. They are much better than so…

(Quote) Wait and see :)

(Quote) If true, we wish them well.

(Quote) Yes your spot on @inovator . The executives who sold this boondoggle to investors could trouser a considerable sum, and have lived a lifestyle in excess of their abilities and means [imho]. While some investment groups claim they w…

For those wanting to keep up with the obvious changes impacting this "interesting" company, this simple card [edited] to follow along has been created: (Image) Edit - Had to make a change as you all pointed out AT&T had already aban…

(Quote) Yeah, that HTC Index looks legit! :D

(Quote) Yeah, it is a bone of contention between the Oculus and Valve supporters - very antagonistic situation, going back to the beginning of this phase of VR adoption, and not helped by the information supplied to ZeniMax legal team by V…

(Quote) Samsung still in VR - and also working on the new AR/MR glasses being launched (demoed at CES and last years IFA).
-
(Quote) Not sure where you hear @evelynward that "Samsung had given up on VR"?? The company has one of the only successful WinMR headsets with the Odyssey and Odyssey Plus (both have outsold the Rift-S). The company supplies the…
-
(Quote) Totally understand, and know you were just spit-balling rather than being definitive. Its that budget internally they have to spend. Many of those that have recently departed speak that the Go was hoped to achieve much high sales …

I would have agreed that there had been a chance that if (say before Rift-S) Oculus had pushed forward with what I would have called a Half-Dome "full" PC VR headset, packaged with the right software delivery eco-system (more mod centric) …

The VR forums are looking like ER's again, with Quest users showing off their battle injuries, broken fingers and bloody walls (as well as broken controllers). That BoxVR has a lot to answer for! :o
-
Yep, most of those I would also point to as the "long game" for MS. One you may have missed out, or condensed into one of the other entries, was: 5} "focusing on Project Cloud" [Sorry if you said this and I missed it.] This is …
-
I would normally have agreed with the "long -game" approach from MS - they dumped the VR bandwagon after the last involvement with Oculus, and there was some serious animosity that was vented in the WinMR initiative. So seeing them go back…

I really think the VR community has not fully comprehended what the HL:A Mod opportunities for the future of VR really could mean . A little history lesson on how the original HL modding community totally changed the face of gaming, and ushered in m…

Agree - the feature creep on what is rumored to be the PSVR2 looks like they will have a difficult time not hitting that $400 magic number. I think many will be surprised at the Sony new entry, not as much a slave to the console (one of the marketin…
-
Thanks as always for some great observations @Mradr. I see your points - though on the "...they are working way a head of the game that might be just on the edge of being ready to ship tomorrow." I would have agreed that they had been ahe…
