As we developed demos and prototypes with the Oculus Rift internally, several UX insights sprung forth. Keep ergonomics and the physical constraints of both technologies in mind. For instance, with the Oculus Rift, cords make it difficult to design a game where you turn 360 degrees. Think about how to make 3D data accessible.

Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg has kicked off Oculus Connect 6 with several exciting announcements, the biggest being an update for Oculus Quest which will see hand-tracking added to the system in 2020. Facebook Reality Labs has achieved this using AI and neural networks to recognise your hands.

One part of the characteristics of VRTK is its management of the project/scene for specific platforms (Oculus, Vive, etc.). Like every open source project, several of its scripts are interdependent and they require some time to fully understand how to combine them.

This is how to set it up. Honestly, I find it a smart idea for this moment, but I also think that HTC has to invest more to have more content on Viveport on the long term if it plans to fight with Oculus and its upcoming Quest. What is great is that this technology works with every already existing 360 videos.

Some weeks ago, a group of 12 indie development studios decided to launch the first bundle dedicated to App Lab experiences for Oculus Quest. The user could buy the bundle and get access to sideloadable versions of the games, with the promise of a free key for when the game would have been approved by Oculus on App Lab.

That is, the Quest 2 and the Vive Focus 2 may be based on this technology. Why am I so excited?

The shape of the controllers is slightly different than the one of the Oculus Touch, though, and there is a ring that surrounds the wrist of the user. There is also “finger-tracking” a la Valve Index , but just for the thumb, index, and middle finger (so, it is more a la Oculus Touch). Some XR fun.
