As explained by Oculus in its announcement on an official post blog, Oculus Quest provides gamers around the world with several virtual options and features, that make them enjoy the virtual reality, such as:
In the same announcement, Oculus also mentions its Oculus Insight, that’s a breakthrough technology, which supports inside-out tracking, Guardian, and Touch controller tracking. Oculus Insight is based on four ultra-wide-angle sensors and computer vision algorithms, in order to discover users’ exact position in real time without any external sensors. Oculus added that; “Insight gives you a greater sense of immersion, presence, and mobility, plus the ability to go beyond room-scale. And we’ve brought over Guardian to help keep you safer while in VR. It’s easy to setup and experience whenever you want.”
Finally, Oculus VR said that; “Oculus Quest has not been authorized as required by the rules of the Federal Communications Commission. Oculus Quest is not, and may not be, offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased until authorization is obtained.”
On the other hand, we should underline that Oculus Connect is one of the Facebook events, which are held annually. It gathers VR developers, creators, and thought leaders to share insights, get hands-on with the latest tech demos and experiences, and reimagine the possibilities of the medium.
Watch live as we announce the future of virtual reality at the Oculus Connect developer’s conference.
