Big Announcement Tomorrow...

I'm sure a good portion of you have the email by now:

Watch the keynote live, September 26th at 10 a.m. PT.

 

Unveiling the next era of VR.

For the last five years, Oculus and our community of developers have worked together to bring the dream of VR to life. Join us tomorrow for the announcements that will redefine how far that dream can go.

I hope this is going to be a solid gen 2 piece of equipment that allows previous rift users to use the current tracking sensors. If I gotta buy a whole new set of sensors for room scale to make whatever this is work I’m gonna be pissed but will still buy it if it’s good enough ????

if i can leave the keynote with $300 still in my pocket, i’ll be happy.

Yeah I got that email also, going to be interesting tomorrow.

Wow, hope it's CV2.

I’m thinking of catching a replay to early for me.

This is gonna be bigger than Ben Herring lol.

Wow, hope it's CV2.

I hope so. Some are saying that they expect Santa Cruz to be announced for next year. Which would be of no use for DCS population.

So my guess is, "big" news is Santa Cruz in Q1 or Q2, with some teaser for Half Dome for end of 2019. We shall see.

Yes, I`m afraid you are right. Oculus is concentrating more on stand-alone headsets, which will generate more sales and profit than the stationary PC-headsets.

No Rift v2, this was a bust...

That was disappointing for DCS

So. Pin our hopes on Pimax?

Yep Oculus Quest ( Santa Cruz) to be released Spring of 2019 with Touch Controllers.

No real mention of Rift, other than to say it is still part of Oculus which will be Go, Quest, and Rift.

A Star Wars game will be launching with the Quest, looks pretty cool.

Quest will not have only room scale, but arena scale - like 4k sq ft. And support multiple Guardian setups.

That's disappointing. I wanted a Rift 2 announcement.

Yeah right there with you.

I may get a Quest for some other VR games , but I really wanted the next gen Rift sooner than what it sounds like may be.

Didn’t watch the announcement.

Is the Quest work with a PC, or is it completely stand alone?

Disappointing. Unless something changes, StarVR or Pimax are in my future....

Stand-alone from what was said. Which brings up a question - what drives it if not a PC or phone? Some console? They didn't show that...

The Rift is still part of the Oculus lineup, so you'd think that the Rift 2 is still happening, right?

Absolutely.

Some of the tech they are working on will be in a Rift 2.

They made it pretty clear that there are three main components for their VR future - Mobile ( Go), Stand Alone (Quest), and PC (Rift).

I too was disheartened to not hear about a next gen Rift along with projected date, but apparently they are not quite there yet. I am sure it will be incredible when it happens, but looks like will still be a ways off.

Hoping for 2020 now I guess.

Looks like it's Pimax in the interim. Let's hope they deliver and you can actually run the thing in DCS
