He confirmed the company would naturally want to move from a tethered Oculus Link experience to a wireless experience down the road.

Since a key feature of our technology is a very latency-optimized synchronization between driving motion and at least parts of the perceived experience, we naturally counteract this effect in the long-term and have a significant reduction of corresponding negative effects.

We were using something called Visa, which was a very low-level library language, very different from what Unity is right now. Or how does resolution or latency affect simulator sickness? The latency, I think, was about a quarter second. For four years, I stayed at UCSB and I learned how to program VR.

And during all these months the hype was high, and we all thought about 2020 as a golden year for PCVR gaming , with the release of Half-Life: Alyx and Medal Of Honor. And while Unreal Engine already supports OpenXR, Unity is a bit lagging, but support is coming in 2021. Well, we were wrong. Oculus is now working only on top of OpenXR.

The XR visual processing pipeline is both compute intensive and latency sensitive. In the world of XR, one of the most talked about terms is called M2P or Motion to Photon latency.

Anyway, all the analysis for tracking happens on the device and not on the cloud (obviously, latency would be enormous otherwise!). For instance, in Unity, the Oculus Utilities plugin is the same for PC, Go and GearVR. It is more probable that a Rift 2 will be released in 2019/2020 and the Rift 3 (if any) in 2022/2023.
