VRFocus- In some ways Samsung and Oculus VR's Gear VR smartphone-based virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD) bests the Oculus Rift HMD's second developer kit (DK2). Namely, the Super AMOLED display found on the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S6 phones with which the kit runs beat out the DK2's 1080p OLED screen. But Gear VR does lack one crucial feature found in DK2; positional tracking. It's something that Oculus VR is working to fix in a future iteration of the device, though it has recently described the issue as a 'hard problem'.
Oculus founder Palmer Luckey was able to try out the Playstation VR 2 at CES and was "blown away" by the experience.
For the people that try to downplay the original PSVR's success by comparing to total PS4 units, he also said:
"The first PSVR was arguably the biggest success of the generation, this version will do even better".
🤣🤣🤣 spec wise it weaker then what on the market already so, gotta be talking about games.
I'm debating on getting the PSVR2 but not having backward compatibility is currently my roadblock
businessinsider writes: "His exit came on Friday, the people said. Carmack, who has been openly critical of Meta's advancements in AR and VR, core to its metaverse ambitions, posted to the company's internal Workplace forum about his decision to leave."
I hope he starts up another new company and can get another new game engine on the market too.
He is like: "Im done with F#@#$%NG nonsense, pff Metaverse da funk I was thinking!!, Im out!! :D"
Yeah he put a smile in his face too in the end.
I hope he goes back to traditional games.
VR gaming is a flop and the Metaverse has (fortunately) completely failed to take off.
One of if not, the best game engine developer in the world. I hope he gets back into developing game engines.
They need to stick VR back in RnD departments everywhere that or let the porn industry lead the way like everything else that's been introduced then brought to mass market after porn made it a thing lmfao
Microsoft and Meta have announced a partnership that will see the cloud game streaming platform, Xbox Cloud Gaming, arrive to the Meta Quest Store, offering its suite of Xbox games to Quest users.
Flight sim inside of a vr hmd... could be interesting. Would the game had to have been built to support VR for the in game cockpit view to look around when you move your head?
Sadly this is not VR gaming but similar to Netflix in VR. Useful if you want to game in a 3D living room on a 2D screen. Maybe heavy usage will prompt developers to offer VR upgrades on old games.
They need to start putting actual VR games on Gamepass. Could get a share of the VR market as well.
Would’ve been more interesting to have a partnership with someone that makes actual VR games instead
