So far we have two headsets announced: Oculus Go is a stand alone (not mobile phone or pc based) headset. It will be $199us and will release early next year.
Oculus Santa Cruz (which we've seen before) will be a product too, with 6dof tracked hand controllers.
No specs yet.
Hmm, Santa Cruz doesn't have headphones. Is that just due to early prototype?
(Just like OC3, the live streaming in VR is broken, so I'm watching on a monitor)
Update 1: Oculus GO has 2560x1440 and new lenses which reduce glare. Audio drivers build into headset, you can get sound without headphones. Oculus GO is GearVR compatible for software. Unity and Unreal support. Developers are getting GO in November.
Update 2: So apparently the rift has games. I'm glad they pointed that out. 🙂
Oculus For Business program. New rift bundle (3 sensors, face interfaces, touch and headset) Commercial vr license. Bulk orders.
Update 3: Rift bundle now at $399 permanently as of today.
Update 4: Santa Cruz controllers have a touch pad. Constellation IR based. Santa Cruz has 4 ultra wide cameras for inside out tracking. The tracking volume goes behind you partially (looked like maybe 230-260 degrees? Just guessing from the little diagram)
Update 5: Oculus for Business bundle is $900. It comes with: Headset, Touch Controllers, 3 x Sensors, Remote, 3 x Rift Fit, Commercial Warranty, Preferential Customer Service, Commercial Licence. https://www.oculusforbusiness.com/
Oculus Dash is the new interface. It can open as an overlay while in a game. It's designed for Touch. I don't know how this will affect people without Touch. Dash lets you use PC apps in VR. You can pin overlays of things like videos inside of games. Debugging Dash using Visual Studio inside of Dash. 🙂
Oculus Home now has customisable environments and interactive stuff. Looks like Home has become The Sims. Games can be launched like in Arizona Sunshine: plug in cartridges. You can visit other people's environments. Shared spaces in the future.
Dash and new Home are part of Rift Core 2.0, coming in december.
Update 6: New oculus avatar system. Developers can make custom avatar accessories (they come with games by the sound of it). Avatars will be usable on SteamVR and Daydream. Coming in 2018. Lipsyncing. Eyes auto track interesting objects around you.
