To Quest or not to Quest?

[Blitzen]

I've finished reading several pieces of online general information on the upcoming Spring of 2019 release of Oculus Quest, but have no idea really on how much better it will be for our Sim.Of course wireless will be a nice addition , but does anyone have any idea whether it will improve resolution or have any negative effects on FPS? I'm not a "techie" & cannot really read between the lines...can someone respond who is better at reading the tea leaves.

I just checked on the Oculus site and it says No PC. No wires. No limits.

 

Without a PC it seems totally useless to us.

 

Probably it's for angry birds and those kind of stuff.

Quest - for what we do - No.

people will use it for that UltraWings or VTOL stuff. Pretty sad.

[Blitzen]

Sad...maybe...but I'll get to keep my $400.00 for a while longer & that isn't bad....?

You cannot use it on a PC it's a stand alone device like a gaming console.

People were asking if Quest could be used for PC games using the USB type-C connector within the headset...

 

But the answer from Oculus was NO!

It could be a good all-in-one headset with VivePro like resolution and inside-out tracking, for mobile games and PC games. For 400$, But NOT!. It was a making-money decision (like oll company decisions). The want to milk the cow in multiple ways!

Seriously screw oculus. I wont be buying any future products. I doubt they'll ever go back and make another high end pc headset at this point. They want apple like control.

if they make a new decent headset, I'll get it.

 

I can't get angry at any dev or publisher.

 

either it's a product I want or not.

 

it's not life or death just hard/soft ware

I agree with this in general but initially it was Oculus that created that kind of myth that they are more than just a tech product. Why do I know names like Palmer Luckey and Abrash? I dont know any names from nvidia, intel, asus etc. And i dont want to. I hated people talking about Palmer like a saviour from the neighborhood back in the beginning. But Oculus wanted it.
