Likewise, the VR presentation on the Microsoft booth at the education show was muted – rather than the bewildering array of Windows MR headsets seen two years ago, the company promoted the virtual learning systems on only one provider, with the Samsung Odyssey on display giving an example of the education content.

In case you haven’t read the book, or heard anything about the movie, here’s the spoiler-free summary from Warner Bros.: Samsung Gear VR and Google Daydream require specific flagship smartphones, which if you already own will only set you back about $130 for just the add-on headset and controller.

I was puzzled by this omission, as their previous collaboration with HTC saw the Vive released in 2016 with both narrow and wide facial gaskets to offer 2 fitting options out of the box. . This is not ideal in the long term as it may cause similar damage to that seen on the HTC Vive when used with PU cushions.

More info (Facebook smartglasses) More info (Oculus Quest 2). This is mostly due to the two causes: The slow death of phone-based VR (that pumped a lot the numbers of shipped VR headsets); The pandemic that has hurt the production lines of virtual reality headsets , and that so made the Oculus Quest and the Valve Index always out-of-stock.

It is not the first time Meta partnered with an external company for a new device and in most cases this choice paid off: both the Gear VR (Samsung) and the Oculus Go (Xiaomi) were pretty good products.

The Oculus Go is one of the headsets of the moment : it is the first truly consumer-oriented VR-only device : it is easy to be used, it is cheap and it is (or will) available in the retail shops, so has all the potential to attract people that until now considered VR something too geek. So, where is the truth? The headset.

The idea is that, as soon as we identified VR was coming — this was before the Oculus acquisition by Facebook — it was clear that one part of VR would be computer-generated experiences, games being the major example. It’s the VR experience of Pete’s Dragon or Jungle Book, features like that. They’re not movies in their own right.
