Great review! One thing though, are you using a teleprompter? If so, is the speed of the text too fast? Your eye movement was very distracting to me, and I apologize in advance if this is a condition or something like that.
Thanks a lot! Yes this is a condition I'm born with called nystagmus. It makes my eyes go left and right and I can't really do anything about it. Luckily my brain corrects for it in some way so to me the world doesn't look like it's shaking all the time.
@@BastiaanGrisel Thanks for this clarification! I was getting worried for your vision, but am very glad that it doesn't affect you as much as I thought. Very interesting videos btw ;)
@@BastiaanGrisel Well, today I learned something new. Again, I apologize if I overstepped with that question, and thank you again for the review, I'm considering getting an Oculus Quest 2 for development and your insights helped me a lot.
2 questions: 1 - is it possible to make a unity vr game for quest 2 without having one in my position? 2 - what do you think of the FACEBOOK monopoly scheme for the industry so far? (( you can skip this one if u don't feel comfortable ))
Hi! 1) On a technical level, it is possible. You can create your scenes in Unity and then swap out the regular view for the VR view at a later stage. But it is very difficult to know how something feels in VR if you cannot try it on an HMD. I have made experiences that look great on a monitor but didn't feel right when I tried them in VR. So my advise would be to maybe get a second ahnd Quest 1 if budget is an issue or maybe even make a phone-based VR game (samsung gear-vr) so you can at least experience your game in VR as you are developing it. 2) The Quest 2 is the cheapest headset on the market. The facebook-login is the reason. The value that facebook places on potentially having this massive platform that everyone uses for VR (like the App Store for VR) is huge. They could be the number one platform for running VR apps and of course showing advertisement / make money. So I think what Facebook is doing is a very strategic thing, I don't think it is unethical or anything. If you don't support their policy then you should by the Vive Focus 3 or Pico Neo 3 both of which are much more expensive than the Quest 2 but the companies behind them don't have any alterior motives.
@@BastiaanGrisel thank you so much for that response. I already have a Windows mixed reality headset and I used steamVR in making it. little that I know that quest 2 has it's own platform .. so I need to somehow swap the steamVR with Oculus and make sure that the game would run well on oculus as well with all the controller buttons and everything. I don't know if that is possible to do without owning another quest 2/1 headset, Yes I am on a budget. 2) honestly, when facebook made a deal to sell out the entire nation's data to hostile foreign country, it's like going all out against your own country. This will stain for long time, I'm glad that he failed but, the decision was made in cold blood, that's just as good as launching a nuke to the US but fortunately, it falls down the ocean.. but if the community's choice was for its product anyway because its cheaper and more reliable, then the market should follows... the application/games should consider supporting quest2 until something else raise up and take it's place or something happen in court or whatever. but as a consumer I wont purchase it, there has been lots of reports that it keeps turning on and off on it's own, probably for some " strategical " motivation
@@llIIllIlIIllX_XIillIIllIIllIll You can build your game using you WMR headset, the controllers have roughly the same buttons. You will need access to a Quest 2 to test is before release. Yeah I really don't like Facebook as a company. Watching the Social Dilemma also gave me chills. Governments have a responsibility to regulate these companies but unfortunately no-one in office anywhere understands IT or data well enough to make a good policy based on it. These companies like Facebook, Google, Apple and Amazon are just so incredibly powerful. It's the sad state of the world we're in. Controlled by megacorps.

Hey, by any chance do you know the specs for the Quest 2 external cameras that are used for handtracking?
