Great video. I’ve been watching your channel for months. I finally picked up the Go this week. I’m starting to get my VR bearings, but enjoying the big screen for movies. Thanks for all you’ve done!
How do you watch 3d movies? If you have a blu-ray. Do you have to convert it first into a side by side file? how long does the process work. Does the go rely on computer power? I assume the computer is uploading movies to the GO and you watch it after it loaded? Does Netflix or any other have 3d stereo movies? thank you
You'll need to rip the blue rays and then convert to side by side. Facepalm did some good videos on how to do that. Then just attach your Go to a PC to transfer the films over and watch them in your favourite media player. Netflix doesn't have any 3D movies unfortunately.
I've been watching your videos for ages now and I only just realised today that you have 6.3k subs... I thought you had way more because you have such high quality and professional.
When your watching a video or movie can you make it so that if you move your head it will still keep the movie or video in place like with the gear vr?
Yes, it depends on what app you're using. Netflix has a slow following mode which makes it slowly catch up, more for if you were in a car I guess. Some media apps do allow you to lock it to you view.
I've just thought of a question, searched and see some posts from few months back that this was not yet possible but something Oculus are looking to develop. Hope you can confirm that's still the current situation or if you know of anything newer... I'm wondering about TV mirroring. Like the PSVR offers other people in the room to see on the telly what the headset wearer is seeing in VR. Does the Go offer any means to do that? If I'm letting someone use my Go, and they need some help controlling for example, or navigating menus, would be good to see what they see... Without having to pull them from the experience to view via the Go headset myself
You can cast to a phone via the Oculus App. You can then hdmi out or screen share to a projector if they support it. Some projectors are android based and maybe you can add the Oculus app straight to it.
I am not finding that there is 2 hours of battery life in the head set but rather 1 hour. Is this part of the set up? What can I due to extend this life? I am curently using the occulus go for medical procedures that are painful in a hospital setting.
Sorry, me again. I made a vr list of videos in RUclips on my pc which I wanted to watch on my Oculus Go, but when I go to my channel through the Oculus, I cannot find a playlist and the history is only what I watched through the Oculus last time. Any clues? Thanks.
I know this is from 2 yeas ago, but i just received a go as a gift. How do I get headphones to work? I plugged in my apple headphones and didn't work/ Thanks
Lens protector, a budget tip. Whilst you're waiting for your 3D print to arrive use the cardboard insert that came with the Go, the one that says 'Grab your phone to get started'. A good temporary fix.
Just curious if there are still experiences (not games) available for the Oculus Go. With Halloween coming up I wanted to share some experiences with the older grandkids comparable to "Face your Fears"
This might be a dumb question, but what are the guidelines for what you should and shouldn’t use for a battery pack? Like the range of mah that you could use or anything else I’m not even thinking of. For example, I saw one that was relatively small that was around 4000 mah- do you think that would work?
Here's a vidoe which goes into the battery pack a bit more. It's only 2900mah so almost doubles the play time, about 4hrs is enough for me, plus it's light on my head. You can use any size power banks but the bigger they are the heavier they are. Depends what you want to do, I even use mine plugged into the wall when just chilling on the sofa. ruclips.net/video/lk-3z6Hq1MY/видео.html
Hi, do you know if there is any way to send the home screen back a little bit? It is a little too close to my face. I know you can do this in Moonplayer but I would like to do this like on the home screen. thanks
hi, i just got a second headset oculus go, i paired it with my oculus go app but the new headset has my username in it... Should my wife make her own account on the oculus go app? Because we don't want our apps and stuff to be synced on both headsets. thanks
Thanks for the video, very helpful. Got mine for Christmas and still getting to grips with it. One problem I do have though is blurring. I do wear glasses for reading and I find that even with the glass insert that most videos I have seen, free ones, are quite blurry and I was really hoping that I would be seeing some lovely hd content. I didn't want it for games, too old for that, but just experiences. Am I watching the wrong things or is it just my eyesight. I read somewhere about changing to 75ghz but there seems no option to change any settings on the visual side. Any clues?
It sort of depends what you mean. If they're Gear VR apps then yes, they mostly should work. But if it's just SBS content it'll depend if the app you're using recognises VR headsets. If the apps are free you might as well stick it on and see. 👍
@@RaMarcus it's called lumiya. It's a android app but it has a 3d mode basically side by side. When I enable this in oculus TV through side loading and enable side by side there is now button that I can enter 3d mode on oculus go. I was asking cause I'm sure you know tons. It seems this is not possible. But no harm in asking. I'm sure it's possible just not available.
Thanks. It's essentially a GearVR without a phone. I hardly used my GearVR as I didn't want to run my phone battery down. This is a nice all in one package. I would still recommend it. And no, no Bluetooth headphones (not without some serious back end tinkering that is).
Very informative great demos. How do you view and share the headset view outside onto a screen to show others what you are actually watching? Is it via the Oculus App? We are using these for our own 360 vids via GoPro Fusion for training at work and would love to demonstrate what is visible on the headset to a classroom.
Is the Wands game still active and getting updates? Just got a Go and want the best titles on here. I got buried or dead but I really wanna know it Wands is worth it I love Harry Potter type stuff lol
I'm not sure there are any. You can sideload some if you're feeling adventurous (adding non native android app), but you have RUclips VR, so you can watch music videos if you like.
RaMarcus - thank you so much for your immediate reply..we are planning for VR planetarium show. So we would like to play the same content into multiple VR headsets.. either by Oculus go or Samsung VR gear headset.or else in some other way..
Magnetic usb cable to the headset for charging... GENIUS! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I use a long usbC to micro usb cable. But since the cable is braided, even if I have slack in the cord, it will slightly bump something and pull the headset... Side note: If you use usbC and a high mah power adapter, it will charge quickly and on full brightness, downside is the headset will be hot if using at the same time.
Because of Black Ops 4...Horizon 4....Red Dead 2 and so on ive neglected my Go. But thanks to your vids, im using my Go this entire weekend...Thanks for what you do bruh...keep cracking m8🍺
Could you do a comparison of the movie watching experience between the Quest and Go? I've seen plenty of reviews on gaming on the Quest, but very little which reviews how much better movies are on the Quest or if there aren't much differences at all as far as SDE and godrays and whatever else when viewing movies. Or how web browsing, reading, or remote desktop to a PC compares between the two.
Great Video!! Is there any way I can watch what the Oculus go screen sees on a mac screen. something similar as you see in the shops? thanks in advance!
What a great video! Is there an application where you can upload and view 3D models? I use Silo to create models and I would to view them in a VR environment. Thanks
Honestly I'm not sure. It makes sense that there would be but it's not something I've had the need for. If you do find something, let me know as I would be interested to take a look. 👍
Hi I’ll look into it and see what I can find. Worse comes to worse I’ll try and develop my own. I have developed something similar for Mac OS using Unity. I will keep you updated.
Just got my Oculus Go 64gig for Christmas to test before I got my grandkids one. I've barely used it....did a tour around the space station and I have the ISS game, but each time I try to use it now it says I have no memory. How do I figure out what is taking up all my memory? I've looked at the settings and most of the time when I click "see all" it does nothing. I click Home and get a message "unable to download there is not enough space on your device". It gives me and option to go to settings and I click it and then the see all option, but still nothing happens. I've been able to get into see all just once. It feels like I need to reset it to factory settings or something. Any ideas on how I could have made a mess of this already or is it just malfunctioning? Thank you in advance for any help. Cathy
I hope at some point that they get rid of the goggles look, because when your either in the Oculus go or HTC Vive I fined that the goggles effect is annoying and I believe it could be to do with field of view too. at some point I hope they'll fix it.
Things like the Pimax have a wider FOV but it comes at a performance cost to keep the fps high and reduce motion sickness. It'll come in time as tech improves. 👍
Hi Excellent video. I already have a Rift and i have ordered a Go. Can you please make a list (or better still, a video) of games /experiences which feature crossplay between the two headsets? Which games can I play with my family ie with one of us on the Rift and one on the Go? Thanks.
@@RaMarcus Thank you Marcus. All this VR stuff is tough. I want to eventually compete in Sprint Vector but I don't even know where to begin. From what I am seeing though, is that I should buy the Oculus Rift with a strong enough PC, then go from there.
Hey, ReMarcus, thanks for all your great videos on the Go, much appreciated. I have two quick rookie questions. One, will I need to get a Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 if I want to use an Xbox controller, either for Go games or sideloaded PC games? And, are there headphones you recommend? I have a Go arriving in the next day, so I haven't held the device in my hands; but it seems like I might run out of physical real estate even on my own huge cranium if I try to use the Go and headphones at the same time. Cheers!
If you get the newer Bluetooth Xbox One S controller you won't need the adapter (unless your PC doesn't support Bluetooth, then you'll need a Bluetooth adapter for the PC). The controller can connect straight to the Go. And as for headphones, give it a go without them first as the audio is pretty good. You only need headphones if you don't want to disturb others, otherwise use which ever headphones you prefer, I have a large head and my Cloud HyerX headphones are fine.
Depends where you are in the world. I'm not saying stores that sell the Quest will have it to trade against. But in the UK you can sell it to CEX or on ebay/Facebook and use the money against the Quest.
So can it charge at the same rate it drains or will it eventually go dead regardless of how many batteries you throw at it? If so it'd be cool to see a test to see what amount of extra time could be squeezed out of it while doing things that drain different amounts of power.
@@RaMarcus Might make for a good excuse to stream for a while. Just to test it out while streaming from the headset actively. Not for every test obviously. But if you do stream test the battery you need some sort of mad scientist getup just so if you get interrupted you can tell people to bugger off because science!
How do you keep on top of it while using adb to stream to RUclips and play games at the same time? I'm always losing battery, it extends it whole charging but will always go down.
Hey ramarcus a little off topic from this video but did you ever get an answer from the guy who side loaded the Xbox app and got it to work with Minecraft?
There was meant to be an issue with the last version. If you side load the latest versions now, you should be able to sign in for multiplayer. I've not had chance to test yet.
I would like to get a Oculus but I am sure what to get Go or Quest my main reasons for getting quest would be Google Tilt Brush and gym based games which of the two will give me the best vr experience
@@RaMarcus I thought this might be my answer I have been watching videos for research thank you for your time and help. Have you played with tilt Brush?
@@RaMarcus I just ventured into VR wow it is like having your own Star Trek Next Generation Hollow deck. I want to purchase some games but when I go to buy it is asking me for my PIN I cannot find the PIN is this the same number you used at the start of setting up Oculas or is it another number.
My biggest problem is that I can’t find movies, Hulu or ways to buy or watch films on my oculus go. My partner in the USA has movie/film options in oculus video etc or he can get movies or buy stuff in oculus room. Is there a difference between UK and USA oculus go? (I’m in the uk) what are the differences between them in the way of what one can do that the other doesn’t ?
That is a big issue in the UK. They can buy things in Oculus Video. The best thing I can suggest for UK users is to sideload Amazon Video, it'll them appear in Oculus TV and any films you own on there will be watchable, even downloadable. I might cover it in a video if there is interest.
RaMarcus how do I side load? Yes if you could do one about sideloading or/and the differences between uk and USA? we want to watch movies together but practically impossible internationally 🙁
If you want to watch together you might want to set up a Plex server (share networked PC media) or look into Big Screen (share a PC screen in a social setting) if one of you has a PC.
Is the 6DF and 2 controllers the only difference?. ahh..you've just answered my question on the vid....I will be using a VR system sitting down on my sofa..100% of the time. So its the GO, rather than the quest for me?.
Nice informative video Remarcus, many thanks! Seeing as you're a heavy user I was wondering if you had seen any change in the battery efficiency over the time you've used it? Obviously rechargeable batteries do hold less charge the more you recharge them. From what I understand about the battery in the Go it will be good for between 200 to 500 charges before it really needs replacing. Not sure what I'll do when that day finally comes.
Thanks Andy. I can't say I've noticed any significant drop in battery life since I first got it. I'll be honest and say that if I intend to play for any decent length of time I have it plugged in. I guess time will tell, but for now I can't tell and it seems fine. 😉👍
Virtual Desktop? That is another selling point for me. I can be playing some MAME with this in my bedroom via the PC in my living room? Some great Q&A here. I'm pretty much sold on the Go for now, for the money it seems well worth it, and when Quest comes out and if I fancy that, which I probably will for the 6dof and better gaming, I'll get a few quid back from selling the Go to go towards it. I've been watching a fair few videos on YT about Go and PSVR and a lot of them are this channel. So I'm a new subscriber
@@RaMarcus Well if I was buying one for the first time, you would certainly put any concerns to rest. I would feel very comfortable about purchasing one.
I want to watch movies or TV with my bestie! We both live in the same state in the US. Do we need BigScreen? A VPN? A network? Or is it easier than that?
It could be as easy as using the Oculus Parties and starting the content at the same time and you chat as you watch. Like this video. ruclips.net/video/PdouO2hbrrg/видео.html
Excited that todays the day and your video made it that much more exciting. I will definitely binge watch a few videos to make sure I download/buy the good stuff.
Depends on your view. You don't get an option to choose the quality but if you use the void and bring it close you'll get 720p. In the TV view you're also seeing the wall and table etc, so I would guess its less than 720p for the actual Netflix screen. Looks fine for watching general content (although even I prefer to Netflix and chill with my actual TV rather than the Go, I cna answer comments like this at the same time then). 😉
i am looking for some free socials apps for the oculus go..they are getting rid of altspace and all that i have is the VTXR (sp),,all your responses will be appreciated..
Thanks for the video.. Now I'm more convinced in buying the Go.. I just subbed to you.. Go challenge T-Series! Pewdiepie is not your target anymore.. 😅
Great, really great video covering many common questions, very well put together and highly recommended for anyone thinking of getting an Oculus Go. For the price you really can't go wrong. Apart from the gaming side I also watch 3D movies via SkyBox, Avengers Infinity War in 3D on the Oculus Go is a really fun experience and very immersive. I'll more than likely be getting an Oculus Quest when it comes out but it really depends on the price point of games. I hope the Quest still keeps the same range from free to premium but without the premium heading into the £30+ mark.
@@RaMarcus My view is a circle as if I was looking through a tube.. I can move my head and look around but always through a circle not a full screen square or rectangle..
It's more of an oval view through the headset, the same as every other VR headset out there. If you're seeing a circle then maybe they're not tight enough on your face?
@@RaMarcus Oval .. circle thats about right.. when I saw videos online of what people where seeing it was more of a full view like a tv 16X9 I guess what I see when Im watching a video is not representative as to what the actual person looking through though the VR headset sees.. A little confusing..
Yeah how it's recorded and how it's actually seen is a little different. It's not really possible to record through the lenses and both eyes at the same time to give a true effect. It's the same with all VR, not just the Go.
Very informative video but I would have liked to have been told how to watch my films on an Oculus Go. (I'm guessing that the, rip 3D Blu-rays for the Oculus Go, how to video is still to come.)
My main question is HOW can I watch Netflix or any movie with the wife while I’m on the road??? I was gonna get her one to until I realized no one seems to know how to view movies together. Please help.
You could join party together (go to social/parties) and just hit play at the same time. Although I've not tested it, I imagine that'll be the easiest way to allow you to chat while you watch in any app/experience.
The plex app is a solution alternative to Netflix but it would involve having a media library of your own set up on a desktop that you can allow remote access to. The Bigscreen app might work, as you can have multiple people in the same virtual room, you might have to access netflix in a roundabout way, either through a web browser in Bigscreen or through remote desktop viewing. I'm not sure netflix offers party viewing but it should probably be on their to-do list. It would be an excellent aid for long distance relationship scenarios.
Thanks for the reply back. I watched the clip with the wife (before I saw your response) and told her “I think he’s replying to what I asked him just yesterday!!!! Much appreciated. It works!
I ended up making a dedicated video on the topic. It was a common question so it's helped a lot of people share VR. ruclips.net/video/PdouO2hbrrg/видео.html
Just found this channel, really enjoying the back catalogue. Had a cheap mobile headset for a while and haven't been too impressed so have been researching upgrades, was looking at a gear but found a 32gb Go for £100. Feel this will be a great start then will see what the quest looks like later
As I always tell people when it comes to the screen door effect, you only really see it if you look for it, but even on things like the Rift, Vive or PSVR, where its more visible, you won't see it even on them really unless you are examining the display. A lot of tech sites will comment on it but they are examining the device, not commenting on its real world use. Its like watching a DVD on a big 4K screen, you won't even notice its in SD after a few minutes as you will be engrossed in what you are watching.
That's not entirely true. It's still twice the price, same for the games, the graphics will be better but not by a lot. Not everyone wants or needs 6dof. However if you have the money and games are more important than media then absolutely wait for the Quest. It's a great time to be into VR.
@@SurvivingTheApocalypse id disagree. I bought a Go purely for media consumption. Turning my bedroom into my own movie theatre is fantastic. Its not the same quality as a 4k tv but the tradeoff is worth it... Less quality for the spacious illusion to the mind, in addition to the ability to lay perfectly comfortably and have a perfect viewing angle. Its not for everyone, but on a plane for example, I'd normally watch movies on a phone. The Go solves so many of the issues of being on a plane. Honestly the 6dof games id say are more gimmicky than anything else. Its cool but it's more of an experience to have than something with potential longevity, like Elite Dangerous is better when using a HOTAS than it would be with motion controllers, same with project cars or any other type of sim. Room scale games are pretty niche as gamers typically aren't active folk. I'm in decent shape and i cant be arsed to turn around in 360 videos, never mind run on a treadmill. VR is the future of simulation and private viewing experiences.
Limiting you self to less than 30mins a session and giving yourself time to readjust should be fine. You're still growing so you don't want your eyes to think VR is how you're meant to see the world. 😉
Best RUclips channel for anything to do with the Oculus Go.

Not directly, you would have to use a Bluetooth transmitter connected to the headphone jack.

If they're wired then you only have to plug them into the 3.5mm audio jack on the side of the headset. Make sure its in fully.
So how does the online thing work or avatars or whatever?
Hi. i get oculus go as present and is very blury. is any firmware update or any other solutions ?
Lens protector, a budget tip. Whilst you're waiting for your 3D print to arrive use the cardboard insert that came with the Go, the one that says 'Grab your phone to get started'. A good temporary fix.

Just curious if there are still experiences (not games) available for the Oculus Go. With Halloween coming up I wanted to share some experiences with the older grandkids comparable to "Face your Fears"
Yes and no. You can't officially buy apps anymore, but the Go sub-reddit is a good place to find alternative resources.
Do you have to play for the games ?
Once it’s set up can u just go online be watch movies from random sites or only from apps ?
Depends what you mean, it does have a Web browser so you can watch pretty much any content from any website.
@@RaMarcus ok. Yea like if I just wanted to watch shows from those websites where u watch shows for free like 123movies.

Sure, I'll be covering the Quest as well when it launches. 😉👍
Wow I did not know you would reply so fast
lol, I'm sat watching TV and my phone buzzed. I'm about to head off to bed so this is likely my last message for the day. 😉
Will quest require some external sensors like other vr headsets that offer 6dof?
Nope, it has inside out tracking and uses cameras on the headset itself to do the tracking.
Can you get Microsoft Flight Sim on the Oculas GO ?
Not directly. You can stream it from a VR PC via ALVR.

When I enable this in oculus TV through side loading and enable side by side there is now button that I can enter 3d mode on oculus go. I was asking cause I'm sure you know tons. It seems this is not possible. But no harm in asking. I'm sure it's possible just not available.
Yeah if it opens in Oculus TV then it's stuck in 2D mode as its basically displaying the 2D app. No way that I know of changing that.
Great video thank you. Would you recommend getting the go of you have Samsung gear VR?. Also does the Go take bluetooth headphones?
Thank you
Thanks. It's essentially a GearVR without a phone. I hardly used my GearVR as I didn't want to run my phone battery down. This is a nice all in one package. I would still recommend it. And no, no Bluetooth headphones (not without some serious back end tinkering that is).
@@RaMarcus thanks again
So you can not hook up a bluetooth headphones? Does it have a headphone jack?
No Bluetooth headphones. And yes, it has a headphone jack so your cable doesn't have to go far. 😉
Very informative great demos. How do you view and share the headset view outside onto a screen to show others what you are actually watching? Is it via the Oculus App? We are using these for our own 360 vids via GoPro Fusion for training at work and would love to demonstrate what is visible on the headset to a classroom.
Sure, check this video. ruclips.net/video/009bvyk29CQ/видео.html
@@RaMarcus Spot on. Just the job. Cheers
If I get 64GB unit will the weight of the headset be twice as heavy than the 32GB unit since it can store twice as much ?
No, you won't notice a difference.
That's... not how it works.
Is the Wands game still active and getting updates? Just got a Go and want the best titles on here. I got buried or dead but I really wanna know it Wands is worth it I love Harry Potter type stuff lol
Sure, it gets updates but like with any VR games its best to find people offline to play online with. 👍
Do i have to connect my controller to the PC when i want to play PC games threw vr desktop?
No, VR desktop allows you to use the control devices connected to your Go. 👍
Hi I’ve just ordered my Oculus and it will be here on Sunday. Do you know any good Music streaming apps for it ?
I'm not sure there are any. You can sideload some if you're feeling adventurous (adding non native android app), but you have RUclips VR, so you can watch music videos if you like.
Yeah I’ve just been using RUclips at the minute really pleased with my Go !
Is it possible to connect multiple Samsung gear VR headsets in single Samsung galaxy phone ?
Do you mean Oculus Go headsets? As GearVR is an actual phone. But yes, you can set up and manage more than one OculusGo from a single phone.
RaMarcus - thank you so much for your immediate reply..we are planning for VR planetarium show. So we would like to play the same content into multiple VR headsets.. either by Oculus go or Samsung VR gear headset.or else in some other way..
Google Samsung Presentation mode. You can play videos across more than one OculusGo or GearVR at the same time.
Magnetic usb cable to the headset for charging... GENIUS! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I use a long usbC to micro usb cable. But since the cable is braided, even if I have slack in the cord, it will slightly bump something and pull the headset... Side note: If you use usbC and a high mah power adapter, it will charge quickly and on full brightness, downside is the headset will be hot if using at the same time.
Thanks and that's a good shout. When I stream the headset it still loses power even when plugged in. Maybe I'll try USB C! 👍
If you have two oculus go's can you use the same profile on the two?
Yes, I do.
You need to work for oculus
My emails are open. 😂
If we have one shared by our family, can we make/save different avatars for whoever is using it?
I'm afraid not. You would have to keep resetting the device.
Because of Black Ops 4...Horizon 4....Red Dead 2 and so on ive neglected my Go. But thanks to your vids, im using my Go this entire weekend...Thanks for what you do bruh...keep cracking m8🍺
It's great that there are so many fun ways into gaming these days. We all need a break from VR and reality at some point. 😉
@@RaMarcus so true my friend...(as i play Below on Xbox...doh)
Could you do a comparison of the movie watching experience between the Quest and Go? I've seen plenty of reviews on gaming on the Quest, but very little which reviews how much better movies are on the Quest or if there aren't much differences at all as far as SDE and godrays and whatever else when viewing movies. Or how web browsing, reading, or remote desktop to a PC compares between the two.
Sure, I'll be doing these types of videos as soon as I can 👍
Great Video!! Is there any way I can watch what the Oculus go screen sees on a mac screen. something similar as you see in the shops? thanks in advance!
You could cast to an iPhone or iPad and then share the screen to the Mac.
@@RaMarcus Thanks!! Unfortunately I fell out of love from iPhone after X. Have huawei now, but still use macbook pro. Any ideas?
For virtual desktop with the go, can I use multiple screens?
Not yet, at the moment it only shows the main monitor. They are looking to add multiple monitor support but it's TBC.
What a great video! Is there an application where you can upload and view 3D models? I use Silo to create models and I would to view them in a VR environment. Thanks
Honestly I'm not sure. It makes sense that there would be but it's not something I've had the need for. If you do find something, let me know as I would be interested to take a look. 👍
Hi I’ll look into it and see what I can find. Worse comes to worse I’ll try and develop my own. I have developed something similar for Mac OS using Unity. I will keep you updated.
Just got my Oculus Go 64gig for Christmas to test before I got my grandkids one. I've barely used it....did a tour around the space station and I have the ISS game, but each time I try to use it now it says I have no memory. How do I figure out what is taking up all my memory? I've looked at the settings and most of the time when I click "see all" it does nothing. I click Home and get a message "unable to download there is not enough space on your device". It gives me and option to go to settings and I click it and then the see all option, but still nothing happens. I've been able to get into see all just once.
It feels like I need to reset it to factory settings or something. Any ideas on how I could have made a mess of this already or is it just malfunctioning? Thank you in advance for any help.
Cathy
Try rebooting your headset first, hold the power button until it turns off and then turn it on again. Usually fixes any storage issues.
I hope at some point that they get rid of the goggles look, because when your either in the Oculus go or HTC Vive I fined that the goggles effect is annoying and I believe it could be to do with field of view too. at some point I hope they'll fix it.
Things like the Pimax have a wider FOV but it comes at a performance cost to keep the fps high and reduce motion sickness. It'll come in time as tech improves. 👍
Ramarcus, is the sideload tutorial linked? Can't find it.
Use these two videos ruclips.net/video/Eiz5WKObDeA/видео.html & ruclips.net/video/2l7KY2RDTzA/видео.html
Hou can i get virtual background?
Hi
Excellent video. I already have a Rift and i have ordered a Go. Can you please make a list (or better still, a video) of games /experiences which feature crossplay between the two headsets? Which games can I play with my family ie with one of us on the Rift and one on the Go?
Thanks.
Thanks and good idea, I'll add that to my list. 👍
It mentions a Windows platform, can you use a Macbook pro with this?
Depends what you want to use it for. If you install Android File Tranfer program onto your Mac you can transfer files over to the headset.
Can you get a spare battery, so you always have one charged up?.
No but you can plug it into a power bank while using it to extend play time. 🔌👍
How is your picture so clear, when mine is fuzzy at best?
Can I play sprint vector on this?
On the Oculus Go? Not natively, maybe via ALVR if you have a VR ready PC.
@@RaMarcus Thank you Marcus. All this VR stuff is tough. I want to eventually compete in Sprint Vector but I don't even know where to begin. From what I am seeing though, is that I should buy the Oculus Rift with a strong enough PC, then go from there.
I agree, a Rift and a decent PC will be the best experience.
Great video, where can you get the 3D printed lens cover?
Hey, ReMarcus, thanks for all your great videos on the Go, much appreciated. I have two quick rookie questions. One, will I need to get a Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 if I want to use an Xbox controller, either for Go games or sideloaded PC games? And, are there headphones you recommend? I have a Go arriving in the next day, so I haven't held the device in my hands; but it seems like I might run out of physical real estate even on my own huge cranium if I try to use the Go and headphones at the same time. Cheers!
If you get the newer Bluetooth Xbox One S controller you won't need the adapter (unless your PC doesn't support Bluetooth, then you'll need a Bluetooth adapter for the PC). The controller can connect straight to the Go. And as for headphones, give it a go without them first as the audio is pretty good. You only need headphones if you don't want to disturb others, otherwise use which ever headphones you prefer, I have a large head and my Cloud HyerX headphones are fine.
Thank you, @@RaMarcus
Simple question, are there apps games or experiences on the oculus go that are for French speaking people? thanks
Some do have language options but not many. You can see what languages they support if you browse the store on your phone. 👍
What stores do you think might have the option to trade in the Go for the Quest?
Depends where you are in the world. I'm not saying stores that sell the Quest will have it to trade against. But in the UK you can sell it to CEX or on ebay/Facebook and use the money against the Quest.
@@RaMarcus ah okay I see what you mean now. Yea, I'm in the U.S. just thought maybe like a major electronic store could do that. Thanks!
What does it mean when you oculus go flashes orange when charging
Weird now it is solid yellow
It used to be orange
Usually means how much charge it has, it'll go green once it's full.
So can it charge at the same rate it drains or will it eventually go dead regardless of how many batteries you throw at it?
If so it'd be cool to see a test to see what amount of extra time could be squeezed out of it while doing things that drain different amounts of power.
Depends what you're doing and what it'd plugged into. I may do a test... Might take days to test. 😅
@@RaMarcus Might make for a good excuse to stream for a while. Just to test it out while streaming from the headset actively. Not for every test obviously. But if you do stream test the battery you need some sort of mad scientist getup just so if you get interrupted you can tell people to bugger off because science!
lol, from my tests, while streaming I can't keep the battery topped up, I can make it last longer but can't get enough charge into it to keep it 100%.
From my experience I can assure you that the charging trumps the battery drain whatever you’re doing with the Oculus go.
How do you keep on top of it while using adb to stream to RUclips and play games at the same time? I'm always losing battery, it extends it whole charging but will always go down.
Hey ramarcus a little off topic from this video but did you ever get an answer from the guy who side loaded the Xbox app and got it to work with Minecraft?
There was meant to be an issue with the last version. If you side load the latest versions now, you should be able to sign in for multiplayer. I've not had chance to test yet.
Ok well hopefully I’ll be able to let you know in 7 days
Excited. 😁👍
I would like to get a Oculus but I am sure what to get Go or Quest my main reasons for getting quest would be Google Tilt Brush and gym based games which of the two will give me the best vr experience
Then you're best getting the Quest for the games and apps you're wanting to play. 👍
@@RaMarcus I thought this might be my answer I have been watching videos for research thank you for your time and help. Have you played with tilt Brush?
Sure, it's not as complete as the full PC version but it's 95% the same and works really well. I end up just making lots of rainbows and fire. 😂
@@RaMarcus I am waiting on amazon to deliver it to me today I will let you know how I get along with it.
@@RaMarcus I just ventured into VR wow it is like having your own Star Trek Next Generation Hollow deck. I want to purchase some games but when I go to buy it is asking me for my PIN I cannot find the PIN is this the same number you used at the start of setting up Oculas or is it another number.
Very informative. I’m a Hypnotherapist and was looking for a meditation details please.
My biggest problem is that I can’t find movies, Hulu or ways to buy or watch films on my oculus go. My partner in the USA has movie/film options in oculus video etc or he can get movies or buy stuff in oculus room. Is there a difference between UK and USA oculus go? (I’m in the uk) what are the differences between them in the way of what one can do that the other doesn’t ?
That is a big issue in the UK. They can buy things in Oculus Video. The best thing I can suggest for UK users is to sideload Amazon Video, it'll them appear in Oculus TV and any films you own on there will be watchable, even downloadable. I might cover it in a video if there is interest.
RaMarcus how do I side load? Yes if you could do one about sideloading or/and the differences between uk and USA? we want to watch movies together but practically impossible internationally 🙁
If you want to watch together you might want to set up a Plex server (share networked PC media) or look into Big Screen (share a PC screen in a social setting) if one of you has a PC.
Or if you do have access to the same content, fake it and use a party like in this video. ruclips.net/video/PdouO2hbrrg/видео.html
RaMarcus tried this but some movies were just black as if it wasn’t allowing us to watch and others mega pixelated.
Is the 6DF and 2 controllers the only difference?. ahh..you've just answered my question on the vid....I will be using a VR system sitting down on my sofa..100% of the time. So its the GO, rather than the quest for me?.
Here's a video on that topic specially, just keep in mind we don't know exactly what the Quest can do yet. ruclips.net/video/aa_bGGhYvqU/видео.html
Is the Go worth it In 2021?
Nice informative video Remarcus, many thanks! Seeing as you're a heavy user I was wondering if you had seen any change in the battery efficiency over the time you've used it? Obviously rechargeable batteries do hold less charge the more you recharge them. From what I understand about the battery in the Go it will be good for between 200 to 500 charges before it really needs replacing. Not sure what I'll do when that day finally comes.
Thanks Andy. I can't say I've noticed any significant drop in battery life since I first got it. I'll be honest and say that if I intend to play for any decent length of time I have it plugged in. I guess time will tell, but for now I can't tell and it seems fine. 😉👍
@@RaMarcus Thanks, I guess lengthy USB cables and powercores are the future :)
Yeah, I guess the grest thing about 3dof is that wires don't really affect anything as you're likely just sitting still anyway. 😉
Thanks so much RaMarcus! *thumbs-up* I'm an Oculus Go newcomer and this video was awesomely helpful. As well as your top 10 apps in 2018. Cheers
Great to hear. 😊👍
Virtual Desktop? That is another selling point for me.
I can be playing some MAME with this in my bedroom via the PC in my living room?
Some great Q&A here. I'm pretty much sold on the Go for now, for the money it seems well worth it, and when Quest comes out and if I fancy that, which I probably will for the 6dof and better gaming, I'll get a few quid back from selling the Go to go towards it.
I've been watching a fair few videos on YT about Go and PSVR and a lot of them are this channel. So I'm a new subscriber
Maybe you were sub number 6k which I just got? Stay VR. 😉👍
@@RaMarcus yeah that's me... Number 6 [thousand]
"I'm not a number, I'm a free man" 😉
Great in-depth answers to the most common Go questions. Remarcable job!
Thanks Jim, hopefully helps a lot of people on the edge about buying one. 👍
@@RaMarcus Well if I was buying one for the first time, you would certainly put any concerns to rest. I would feel very comfortable about purchasing one.
Perfect, my job is done. Cheers for confirming. 👍
I want to watch movies or TV with my bestie! We both live in the same state in the US. Do we need BigScreen? A VPN? A network? Or is it easier than that?
It could be as easy as using the Oculus Parties and starting the content at the same time and you chat as you watch. Like this video. ruclips.net/video/PdouO2hbrrg/видео.html
I want to use it like the commercial (the sword one haha!), is that oculus parties? Is there a monthly subscription?
Like which commercial? Hulu allows you to join a room together. Big Screen needs a PC. Oculus Rooms allows you to share Facebook content.
It looks like plex VR is how to do that from the info I am seeing online?
ruclips.net/video/OlNHLsw4qko/видео.html
Excited that todays the day and your video made it that much more exciting. I will definitely binge watch a few videos to make sure I download/buy the good stuff.
Glad you're having fun. 😉👍
how can i meet and see my actual friend not an avatar in VR she lives in a diifferent country sorry if its a dumb question
Not an avatar? What else would you see? You want video chat?
Is Netflix on the Go 720p or 480p?
Depends on your view. You don't get an option to choose the quality but if you use the void and bring it close you'll get 720p. In the TV view you're also seeing the wall and table etc, so I would guess its less than 720p for the actual Netflix screen. Looks fine for watching general content (although even I prefer to Netflix and chill with my actual TV rather than the Go, I cna answer comments like this at the same time then). 😉
Love your videos I have watched about 5 on the oculus go today... I’m definitely getting one tomorrow.. ty so much for the info. Greatly appreciated..
No problem mate, glad you're enjoying them and I hope you enjoy the Go as well! 👍
Now that I’m getting one I need to continue to watch your videos.. I subscribed and hit the bell for notifications.. see you in the next video!!
Perfect, it would be rude not to right? 😁
Lol ty again. I just purchased one from Best Buy for $230.. cant wait to learn this new device with your help lol. Ty in advance
Great news, hope you enjoy it! 👍
I got my oculus the other day and your the go to guy, Thanks!
i am looking for some free socials apps for the oculus go..they are getting rid of altspace and all that i have is the VTXR (sp),,all your responses will be appreciated..
Thanks for the video.. Now I'm more convinced in buying the Go.. I just subbed to you.. Go challenge T-Series! Pewdiepie is not your target anymore.. 😅
Ha thanks Shion, no one can stop me now. 😁👍
It does not open, it says 100% updating.?
Another amazing oculus go video 👍🏻
Cheers Boss. 👍
Great, really great video covering many common questions, very well put together and highly recommended for anyone thinking of getting an Oculus Go. For the price you really can't go wrong. Apart from the gaming side I also watch 3D movies via SkyBox, Avengers Infinity War in 3D on the Oculus Go is a really fun experience and very immersive. I'll more than likely be getting an Oculus Quest when it comes out but it really depends on the price point of games. I hope the Quest still keeps the same range from free to premium but without the premium heading into the £30+ mark.
Thanks Dave. I think Quest games will be priced in between GO and Rift games, so expect £20 mark to be common.
Im getting only a circle view.. Any Ideas what Im doing wrong..
I'm not sure what you mean?
@@RaMarcus My view is a circle as if I was looking through a tube.. I can move my head and look around but always through a circle not a full screen square or rectangle..
It's more of an oval view through the headset, the same as every other VR headset out there. If you're seeing a circle then maybe they're not tight enough on your face?
@@RaMarcus Oval .. circle thats about right.. when I saw videos online of what people where seeing it was more of a full view like a tv 16X9 I guess what I see when Im watching a video is not representative as to what the actual person looking through though the VR headset sees.. A little confusing..
Yeah how it's recorded and how it's actually seen is a little different. It's not really possible to record through the lenses and both eyes at the same time to give a true effect. It's the same with all VR, not just the Go.
Very informative video but I would have liked to have been told how to watch my films on an Oculus Go. (I'm guessing that the, rip 3D Blu-rays for the Oculus Go, how to video is still to come.)
My main question is HOW can I watch Netflix or any movie with the wife while I’m on the road??? I was gonna get her one to until I realized no one seems to know how to view movies together. Please help.
You could join party together (go to social/parties) and just hit play at the same time. Although I've not tested it, I imagine that'll be the easiest way to allow you to chat while you watch in any app/experience.
The plex app is a solution alternative to Netflix but it would involve having a media library of your own set up on a desktop that you can allow remote access to. The Bigscreen app might work, as you can have multiple people in the same virtual room, you might have to access netflix in a roundabout way, either through a web browser in Bigscreen or through remote desktop viewing.
I'm not sure netflix offers party viewing but it should probably be on their to-do list. It would be an excellent aid for long distance relationship scenarios.
Thanks for the reply back. I watched the clip with the wife (before I saw your response) and told her “I think he’s replying to what I asked him just yesterday!!!! Much appreciated. It works!
I ended up making a dedicated video on the topic. It was a common question so it's helped a lot of people share VR. ruclips.net/video/PdouO2hbrrg/видео.html
Just found this channel, really enjoying the back catalogue.
Had a cheap mobile headset for a while and haven't been too impressed so have been researching upgrades, was looking at a gear but found a 32gb Go for £100.
Feel this will be a great start then will see what the quest looks like later
Welcome along. £100 for a Go? Bargain. I'll be covering the Quest as well so stay tuned. 😉👍
Why on earth would anybody give this video a thumbs down Ha-ha. Good job mate.
Thanks. 😁👍
As I always tell people when it comes to the screen door effect, you only really see it if you look for it, but even on things like the Rift, Vive or PSVR, where its more visible, you won't see it even on them really unless you are examining the display. A lot of tech sites will comment on it but they are examining the device, not commenting on its real world use. Its like watching a DVD on a big 4K screen, you won't even notice its in SD after a few minutes as you will be engrossed in what you are watching.
Yeah I agree, once you're enjoying the content you don't see it. 👍
I really wanted to get one but the fact the Oculus Quest is coming out in April makes getting the Oculus Go a bit pointless now.
That's not entirely true. It's still twice the price, same for the games, the graphics will be better but not by a lot. Not everyone wants or needs 6dof. However if you have the money and games are more important than media then absolutely wait for the Quest. It's a great time to be into VR.
I mainly want it for Super Hot and Job Simulator (if its going to be on it).
I would imagine they will be on the Quest.
Plus I think the media aspect of VR is a bit gimmicky. VR has and always will be for gaming.
@@SurvivingTheApocalypse id disagree. I bought a Go purely for media consumption. Turning my bedroom into my own movie theatre is fantastic. Its not the same quality as a 4k tv but the tradeoff is worth it... Less quality for the spacious illusion to the mind, in addition to the ability to lay perfectly comfortably and have a perfect viewing angle. Its not for everyone, but on a plane for example, I'd normally watch movies on a phone. The Go solves so many of the issues of being on a plane.
Honestly the 6dof games id say are more gimmicky than anything else. Its cool but it's more of an experience to have than something with potential longevity, like Elite Dangerous is better when using a HOTAS than it would be with motion controllers, same with project cars or any other type of sim. Room scale games are pretty niche as gamers typically aren't active folk. I'm in decent shape and i cant be arsed to turn around in 360 videos, never mind run on a treadmill. VR is the future of simulation and private viewing experiences.
I’m wondering if I’m 10 can I use the oculus go with getting hurt or something?
Edit: I have a oculus go
Limiting you self to less than 30mins a session and giving yourself time to readjust should be fine. You're still growing so you don't want your eyes to think VR is how you're meant to see the world. 😉
does it fit on your head?
@Fredd Colour Green I'm 10 so can you tell me much you should tighten it (I'm getting one this month)
@Fredd Colour Green Should I tighten it a lot?
Amazon prime video.... how? Browser will not play
Browser settings > Desktop site.
RaMarcus nope, it’s a no go. Either amazon or Facebook is blocking the other.
Works for me. You can look to sideload the Amazon app and watch it in Oculus TV.
Can't get my touch pad to work help!!!!
Does the rest of the controller work? Try removing the battery and putting it back in. Also hold the Home and Back button for 5 secs to resync it.
Can you wear your glasses Or do you not need to wear them.
Depends on your eyes. You can wear them with the headset if needed, there is a spacer you can add in to give you more room in the headset.
