Title: Oculus Quest announced today
Post by: Wraith_TMS on September 26, 2018, 05:37:28 PM
Just passing along an "FYI" item; probably not suitable for AH, but its indicative of where headsets like the Rift 2 (which won't be out for another couple of years...) will be headed:

Oculus Quest mobile headset, with 6 degrees of freedom internal tracking (https://gizmodo.com/the-big-thing-facebook-didnt-say-about-oculus-quest-1829340830)

According to the linked article, it uses a Snapdradon 835 chip as its processor.  I have no idea how such a chip would handle Aces High III, if HTC went there.  Resolution/optics seem good compared to Rift, but FOV is a bit less (95 deg.).  Headtracking is 6 dof, using 4 internal wide-angle cameras.  Starting price is same as Rift.

FWIW,
