Facebook said that this growth has been mostly due to the sales of Oculus Quest. Admitting that Oculus Quest is the only responsible for this big growth from last year (just an assumption, I want to be clear), we obtain that the sales of Quest for Q3 account for $81M. Oculus Quest may have an assistant soon.

Focused, acute pulses simulate sharp points; broader, more distributed ones can simulate sensations like dipping into water. The suit’s gloves will simulate gripping objects by restricting finger movement: wrap your hands around a hard plastic cup in VR, and your gloves will freeze at the point where you can’t squeeze any further.

Virtual Reality (VR), by contrast, can be published across a wide range of devices (headsets like Oculus Go/Quest and Gear VR, phones, Google Cardboard, WebVR, and much more), is completely immersive, and doesn’t necessarily require a real-time data connection (ie can be run offline). So why is immersion important?
