??? RIFT-S *** Set up requires an iPhone or Android™ mobile phone and Oculus App (free download).

[TEShaw]

Looking at acquiring Rift-S....

 

I've long taken some pride in being the last First World person to survive without a cell phone.

 

So, I could get a friend over with his/her phone to run the Oculus app at set up... is that all I'd need to run Rift-S?

 

What's the deal?

 

Thanks.

PS A vest pocket copy of 'Walden Pond' would stop a bullet better than a cell phone.

Rift S is a tethered PC device, all setup is done from PC not from a mobile phone.

Oculus Quest is a stand alone device ( no pc tethering), it does require a phone for initial setup. Different animal for different games.

 

So if your talking Rift S no worries there for you needing a mobile phone at all.

I guess I was unclear.

 

I'm running original Rift on my PC now.

 

Rift-S purchasing specs have that ***

Thanks.

You are apparently looking at the wrong specs, trust me no mobile phone required for setting up Oculus Rift S.

It is even much easier to setup than the original Rift.

Far out.

 

Thanks, man.

You are most welcome, let us know how you make out when you do get it.

I’ll second that. No need for that mobile phone malarkey.

Just returned my Oculus S. 

Sorry guys except resolution the old CV1 is far better than the S.

Different strokes for different folks - I could not go back to CV1 now after having used the S for the last several weeks.

CV1 Tracking is better  
CV1 Audio is better   

CV1 Headset is lighter
Oculus S has better resolution.
 

I really hope Oculus 2 will be like CV1 but better with twice resolution like HP reverb.

Ha, Ha Ha,  I just thought it was a new trick of the Evil Empire when just look at the headings of this post.

Fortunately for you guys it is "still" not true.  ?  Who knows what Marck is thinking? a compulsory FB account for all Rift users?

 

Congrats TEshaw for surviving without a cell phone. That´s really admirable.
