Am I the only one here who would have preferred a Quest but had to purchase the Rift S for the PC games, only to find a month later that limitation is removed? Am I the only one here feeling royally ripped off?
You are not the only one.... but no there is no buyback.
On the bright side, the rift S does have the edge over the quest over all for pcvr. I just hope it gets the hand tracking that quest is getting this week
Fiat Coupe, gone. 350Z gone. Dirty nappies, no sleep & practical transport incoming. Thank goodness for VR 🙂
I do not see why this cannot be brought to the Rift S.
Doesn't the Rift S have the same camera technology as the Quest? Actually it has 1 more camera than the quest does it not?
Is it a case of the developers not coding for PC, but for mobile chipset only?
There has not been word one way or another for Hand-Tracking for the Rift-S. They are at he very least doing it first on the Quest, as it is presumably easier to do for a single hardware architecture (IE, the Quest Hardware), rather than any number of different PC setups.
If it's popular, I'm sure they will work to make it available for the Rift S... it just might take time. They likely don't want to promise that they're working on it if they can't guarantee it.

I would make the case that one reason why hand tracking has hit the Quest first is that the headset has on-board processing. It's hard to know for sure, but if I had to wager a guess, the hand tracking 'software' is *in the headset* where the Rift S will of course have the hand tracking software on the client PC which is I am sure a whole different can of worms.
