when will the DK3 be released
would like to know when the DK3 will be released to developers so we can finalize the programs on the set that going to be released to the consumer.
nobody would buy a dk3 if the specs are not very close to the CV1, and then it would mean the CV1 is already available under the name of DK3. Oculus will not allow that.
so Oculus got the problem to sell DK2 to developpers while CV1 is so close (who want to drop 350$ on an obsolete device ?). But DK2 has not the features of CV1 ! so what's the point to buy DK2 if you cannot test features of CV1 ?
Or what's the point to release CV1 if DK2 is good enough to developp for CV1 ? (would mean there is only minimal improvment between DK2 and CV1)
it is a catch22 situation for oculus and developpers.
So probably sales of DK2 will stop, and people will wait for CV1 and developpers will just recompile apps for new SDK, skipping on new features of CV1 until they know what they are ...
So expect the CV1 to be released with the good old demo we all have already seen.
best move for oculus would be to provide an upgrade kit to dk2 for additional features of CV1.(which are ?)
This would make everybody happy.
