Good info; not bad for rumors. No mention of eye-tracking in the rumors, which makes me a sad panda.

As a side note, why are all the VR YouTubers so awkward? This dude is wearing an HMD while staring in to a 2D camera lol

Lol, what a lot of flannel! I like the prediction that the controllers won't have batteries. Also the idea that screen door effect will be absent 'cause Reverb 2 doesn't have any. A lot of straw clutching here 🙂

Does the Oculus Quest currently have that thing where is room is displayed in the headset using graphics? That looks awesome.

This must be the first video commentator I have seen to even mention the issue of the performance limitations inducing sim-sickness on the Quest. Surprised that the comments on Reddit do not get wider circulation - though am sure the mainstream have their reasons.

The rumors of the Quest 2 (Quest-S) started back in November - that it will have a more powerful Snapdragon is going to make developing for it much easier - though I think many in the VR community know what the other issue with it will be - if the rumor is true. 

Least this rumor has stopped peopling thinking the RoadToVR leak was about a new Rift!!

No, that’s someone’s personal project—he modelled his apartment as a VR app so he could match it up to real life and interact with things. 

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

Ah crap - When do we get to have something that can use the camera's to track and build a room like this? I wouldn't know where to start making it myself.

Going to 90 Hz instead of 72 will require a 25% faster gpu - might eat up all the power of a new Snapdragon. Snapdragon 845 is 25-30% faster than 835 according to Qualcomm. Going 855 might be too expensive, but would add 50 to 60 % more performance...

It was always "alluded too" that the Quest used the older Snapdragon 835 - rather than the then current 855 for "pricing reasons". I know that other Qualcomm partners had access to the 855 and the new XR1 - and I will not get into the whole issue of Oculus falling out with Qualcomm that excluded them access to special pricing.

I agree going to the 855 or XR1 now would mean power issues, and would come with its own development peculiarities, but I think its been too much about "good enough" and not about the best performance. As seen, cutting the margins this thin has seen better sales than the CV1, but has not seen a better take-up of content. We also need to be mindful that if the Quest-S is proposing to use the new OLED display that power is going to be essential.

Sometimes cutting costs can cut functionality - just look at the Rift-S issues.
