What quite content does Oculus really need?

  What quite content does Oculus really need? Whenever an industry promotes a replacement entertainment platform — colour television , the VCR, Blu-ray, VR — it faces an equivalent classic quandary. Consumers won't invest during a new system unless there's great content available for it. Meanwhile, great independent content producers won't make that material until the platform features a lot of users. So how do initial platform creators like Oculus get that content to start with? They buy it. They buy it by building internal content studios, by buying already-successful studios (as Oculus did in November by acquiring the maker of Beat Saber), and by directly paying, subsidizing and assisting outside developers to form what they hope is compelling, platform-defining content. Modern VR's top consumer category has been games. So when Facebook hires a seasoned game executive like Mike Verdu to run its overall AR/VR content operation, what the corporate is basically saying i...

One year on, the Oculus Quest is that the VR headset to urge.

One year ago today, Facebook released the Oculus Quest, its first headset to deliver a reputable standalone VR experience — true head tracking, good motion controllers, and so on. It also marked a split within the Oculus ecosystem: the search had its own store, curated with games that had been tailored specifically for the headset’s low-powered mobile hardware.

At the time, that made it somewhat of a limited product. “As an Oculus Rift owner, I’m deeply tempted by the search ,” Adi Robertson wrote in our review. “I’d love having a self-contained headset with all of the Rift’s core features and none of its wires. I just wish I didn’t need to pick between a design i really like and therefore the games i would like to play.”


A year into the Quest’s life cycle, that’s not a compromise you've got to form . a number of its limitations remain, of course, but Facebook has done an interesting job of expanding the $399 Quest’s capabilities. Upon release, the Oculus lineup was simple to explain: buy a Rift S if you would like to play PC VR games, buy a search if you would like standalone convenience. Now, though, the search does almost everything the Rift S does — and more. the sole problem is that it’s near-impossible to seek out one.

The Oculus Quest remains , first and foremost, a standalone VR system that works more or less sort of a game console. It boots up quickly, and aside from pairing it with a smartphone app upon initial setup, everything you are doing with the headset happens within the VR interface. the first UI was organized during a confusing way, but a recent update has made the search much easier to navigate. the search is way easier to line up than the other VR system, and it’s tons more convenient to use than anything involving wires.
