Oculus Go Standalone Virtual Reality Headset - 32GB

Product Information

Games that you can play with a gamepad or that don't require 6DoF, however, should work almost flawlessly. You take off the headset, put it on your desk, and come back a few hours later or the next day, and the battery is either fully drained or it's dead.

The appeal of the Oculus Rift is in its outside-in tracking and 6DOF: the Rift uses multiple external sensors that track the position of the headset and touch controls in a 3D space, letting you not only adjust your view by rotating your head but also by moving around within space. While the Oculus Go motion controller will work in some cases, most VR experiences that require a controller with six degrees of freedom (6DoF) will not work. For the past few years, consumer virtual reality headsets have mostly come in two flavors: tethered headsets that connect to a computer or console, and mobile ones that are powered by a smartphone. Don't rely on the speaker system if you want total privacy when using the headset, but it doesn't get nearly as loud for others as it does for your own ears. The headset was officially announced under the name Oculus Go on October 11, 2017 at the Oculus Connect developer conference and was slated to ship in early 2018.Though not perfect, it offers a comfortable fit, solid build, excellent visuals and the promise of more great content to come.

If you’re wearing glasses, Oculus suggests putting the headset on over your eyes first, and then pulling the straps down.These are games with small, repetitive feedback loops, like Angry Birds or Tetris, that are often played while you’ve got half an eye on some mundane task like cooking or commuting. The only reason I can see for them to not add a MicroSD slot is to try to encourage people to get the version that adds additional storage at a premium. The Oculus Go is a standalone virtual reality headset developed by Meta Reality Labs (formerly Facebook Technologies) in partnership with Qualcomm and Xiaomi. The company also created processes such as Dynamic Clock Speed Adjustments, which lower the clock speed of the SoC when it's not in demand to help preserve battery.
