Hi folks, the VR headset from Facebook's Oculus company, that is all-in-one, is now available!
- See the official page on the Oculus site
- Read a decent overview at Engadget.
- Visit the Amazon.com listing
The Feedback
Is good. It sounds like it's generally a step forwards on the road to accessible VR, but that will still depend on the content that will be available for it. How many of the apps are really worth your time? The 'utility' side of VR (chat, business, social etc) is still underwhelming, but that doesn't surprise me. I think AR / Mixed Reality will work better for this.
I continue to write about my random forays into the Oculus store of mobile VR apps, so I hope to report back on something worthwhile again soon... Stay tuned!
