Facebook has permanently cut down the price of the Oculus Go to $150 , the same price that made it sell incredibly well on Amazon during the Cyber Monday. Magic Leap and nReal are trying to find an agreement. Read about what Louis and I have created by reading this article! (Image by Engadget). News worth a mention.

For sure, Facebook will repeat a bazillion times that they care about privacy and I think that in the beginning, this will be mostly true: we have seen with Oculus how Facebook takes its time and boils its users slowly like the famous frog, adding over time features to get more data for targeted ads. Magic Leap will meet its fate.

After one month from its official announcement, Facebook has released the Oculus Quest 2, that from the 13th of this month can be purchased online on the Oculus Store or on official resellers (like Amazon) or offline on partner stores (like Best Buy). We can understand this from the data of the sales of the games on the Quest store.

It feels like magic. The technology behind it is pretty cool: you have some cameras (I guess RGB + depth) that scan yourself live in 3D , compress the data with a special Google algorithm, send it to the other peer, where it gets decompressed and reconstructed in real-time on a light field display.
