Now Quest and Rift S is coming what should expect at OC6? Maybe more big updates coming or maybe more hardware maybe a Go upgrade? what are you expecting? ?
I'm guessing more hot AAA game announcements, new features for the existing devices and platforms, maybe some official Quest / Rift-S accessories, and maybe some enterprise-related stuff.
Or, they just come and say "hey, actually we ARE making Rift 2" ... j/k :wink:
It's hard being the voice of reason when you're surrounded by unreasonable people.
My guess is mostly software talk along with Oculus Home further development talk. Doubt we will see any Half Dome or PC-VR info, all likely will be focused on mobile and stand alone in that department. Also of course Facebook Spaces and further social interaction improvements.
I suspect more software experiences, especially those pertaining to the Rift's new "passthrough" technology and software based IPD and tracking algorithms.
Facebook is completely updating its entire platform, and Facebook itself (the website and App) are going through a complete make-over. I imagine we will see that trickle down in to Virtual Reality, with more integration in to Social Interaction between GO, Quest, and Rift.
Overall, I do believe that OC6 will be software-based news.
Yes, this year will be focus on software than hardware news. Mainly, a retake and rethink how to get awesome VR for Quest and porting for Rift S. Main focus will be Quest though and sells numbers will reflect on that decision and how they plan to make it better with Oculus cloud services (whatever that can mean) such as saving your profiles, games saves, and other features over time.
Wont be news about a Rift 2 ~ maybe some news on new key hardware base technology - but I think their over all goal this year will just be Quest and pushing that forward until next year. I wonder if they will talk about the life span of Quest though - will it be a short 2 year recycle or they going to try and stick to their 3 year release cycle.

Unless they tie up Abrash and lock him in a basement we will get news of what they're working on for the CV2 and when we can expect it. My money would be on all of the features previously shown in the Half Dome prototype, with the varifocal feature included, as well as 4K displays, all ready for a reasonable price in 2022.
I think that they COULD have had this ready for this year (without the 4K displays) but releasing it this early would mean that it would probably cost a grand. We'll see it in 2022 for 400 smackeroonies B)
