VR Experience – the new trend? We don’t think so and believe that in the next couple of years major organizations such as Sony and HTC will start producing advertisements to be shown in virtual reality. Is there any other way to provide an experience that will bring a consumer into a completely different world that’s like VR?

I think this trend will continue and probably in 12 months the support for the Quest 1 will be dropped by many games : the jump in computational power is so big that keeping Quest 1 compatibility would require too much effort for the developers; Facebook has clarified that the new Oculus Link will keep the compatibility with SteamVR.

The HTC Vive is arguably the best out there, but having to buy a souped-up laptop just to run it, paying full price for brief games that feel more like demos, and trailing a huge cable off your head and fumbling to mount trackers on your ceiling…it’s not ideal. Being able to pick up your VR hardware and take it with you is a big benefit.
