It's funny to think that the oculus go is one of the first standalone vr headsets we have ever got even though it isn't the best at all and there are better choices put now it still doesn't change the fact that it laid the ground work for future models
Thanks for the tip about the glasses spacer. I’ve been annoyed about the light coming through the nose hole but now I’m using the spacer(even though I don’t wear glasses) and the light is gone.
if its like any other vr headset. the motion tracking messes up in vehicles. Its extremely annoying, makes everything move around when the vehicle turns...
I used gear vr to watch a movie on a plane before, while watching suddenly the cinema screen is moving on its own... Not sure why, maybe the plane is turning.
I've had my Go for about a month now, and I agree with everything you've said! The biggest cons for me are the frame rate and the colour shift. The frame rate isn't a big deal if the game is mostly stationary or has slow movements, but it makes me a little uncomfortable when I have to shift my head quickly. And the colour shift is annoying, not enough to make me stop using the device, but I think about it when I first put it on. Great review!!
So one thing I could see this being used with is for air travel or just long distance travel in general, just being able to get away from everything else, I'm going to Italy in a month and I feel like this would make that plane ride a lot more bareable.
From what I've seen. The oculus go seems good for watching videos and stuff. Not doing most things you see with VR. If you want a wireless headset for games there is the oculus quest. That can play games and experiences, while doing everything the go can do.
Great for media consumption, but I DO NOT recommend trying to game on 60hz fps for long sessions. It's quite nauseating. Anyone who's experienced frame drop to 60fps on Rift or Vive can tell you how puke-inducing it can get. 60hz is great for gaming on a screen, but for VR it's very easy to get motion sickness.
aohige Those frame drops are also inconsistent (time between frames as well as fps will wildly change), unlike the constant 60fps with this. Yeah, you might be more likely to be nauseated with this than a normal Rift or Vive, but I doubt it’d be a problem unless you get easily carsick or the like.
That's not necessarily true. I've only gotten carsick twice in my whole life, but I felt sick the moment I tried the Google Cardboard. (It's definitely because of the framerate, as when I tried the Rift, I had no problem.)
Revenge, what makes you think this is going to provide a consistent 60 FPS. That's the max, it is likely to go significantly lower at times. Also, the lack of positional tracking will contribute to making people motion sick. It will be like the Oculus DK1 all over again, which is the only thing that has ever made me motion sick.
This is a pretty good headset. LOTS of games, with a lot being free. Portable and lightweight TV in a virtual room with a screen, which I thought was neat. Built in speakers, so no earbuds or headphones.
i found my Go to be perfect for VR porn, which is really quite a crazy experience... it's like you are actually there with the girl... mind-blown... no more prostitutes for me lol, this is waaay cheaper
I'm an independent developer and will say apart from the obvious lag this setup is exactly what is needed to turn the oculus go into a viable AR device please post how you achieved this and whether it would be possible using any android or ios phone good experiment that developers like me are looking for could the image be made to be all that is visible for instance the only image you see without the virtual space cuz if so then this is how we can bring AR to the oculus go...
I think you should probably get a Oculus Quest it’s the Same all in one and probably the same as Rift but wireless headset but with the rift controllers and 2 of them
This is a excellent device, I develop for one at my work and I think it's a great media consumption device but definitely not made for games. The 2 main reasons are the controller and the only 4 DOF tracking. I feel like Oculus developed this as a 'gateway drug' you buy this for £200, discover you love it but want more so you spend £400 on the bigger better brother the rift
I want this for Netflix. It would be awesome even for camping if you don't have a iridium just to watch a movie on the odd occasion if you can save movies to it like you can with Netflix on your phone.
Even though this headset was pretty bad we can all agree for the time this was something to get excited for considering standalone vr was almost non existent yet
if its like any other vr headset. the motion tracking messes up in vehicles. Its extremely annoying, makes everything move around when the vehicle turns...
Eric and Ryan Horror Hunters I was asking because I was curious. I am a totally blind gamer/developer and was looking for something virtual reality headset that the visually impaired can use also.
I thought about designing ah state of the art hollowdeck break room experience 4 my in-laws. I really wish I could have done that it would have been fun and challenging and fulfilling. Done right they could run down to the hollowdeck and be refreshed within minutes
The only reason I'm getting the Oculus Go is because its cheep and I want to watch movies and stuff with my friends online. The storage doesn't really seem like an issue to me as well. You can connect it to your computer and file transfer whatever you feel like watching. And the browser has an incognito mode. No problems here.
If this is for watching things and browsing the internet you could just buy Virtual Desktop for the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and even Windows Mixed Reality.
The oculus go is what I consider an SVR: “semi virtual reality” because it has the interactivity but not as much of the freedom and power of a usual vr headset due to it only having one controller. Edit: Every thing I have said is in my own personal opinion and I still like the headset as much you all do.
1. Does it have Bluetooth to pair Wireless Headphones? 2. Do Apps have to remain on the phone, or alps stored on the Go? 3. How do you adjust Focus? 4. How is the Screen Door effect, if any? Thank you.
Is it just me, or does it seem like when you're inside browsing for games, movies, songs and whatnot, the house reminds me of "When A Stranger Calls"...that isn't just me, right?
Hey Frank if only it had the latest version of the steam link beta app. I own the original steam link box and to put into perspective that is only useful for streaming from a high tier desktop. But I have successfully streamed my whole 80 games steam library from my budget laptop to my mid range/tier smartphone with no lag. Because if you didn't know it wireless streams from the hardware of the laptop/desktop, to any Android device that is version 6.0 or newer for example: any smartphone, tablet or TV stick that is run Android 6.0 or newer.
Oculus Go is only for viewing and has some games to play if you want the cooler games they are on the Quest and Rift. I’m disappointed with the charging once it charges up you will only have an hour to play games or watch without the plug. The viewing is awesome though but like I said if you want more go get the Quest or Rift. If you only want to use Oculus for viewing stuff then the Go is for you it’s a lot cheaper than the newer brands.

That demonstration of color shift at 9:48. The little touches make a difference.
It's nowhere near that bad though ahah
If you are thinking about buying one of these in 2021 just get a quest 2 it’s 100$ more and basically a rift
@@sunflowers3721 no. the go cannot play any games or really do much of anything.
2:06 Why is there a xaomi logo?
It's basically a Xiaomi phone in there besides the screen
It's made by Xiaomi
Because Xiaomi is releasing the Chinese version in China so oculus asked them to mass produce them. It was a collaborative effort.
It's there because Oculus Go is manufactured with support from xiaomi
Xiaomi Corporation is a Chinese electronics company headquartered in Beijing
