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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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
Is this the exact same thing as the Samsung VR? I mean like software wise because when you showed the store and games it was the EXACT same as the Samsung VR.
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
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.
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...
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...
Can you charge while using? I do not get why you need more space on that is it for storing game data or is it pretty much to keep your private images/videos on the device?
I’m really interested to get this for cinema movie watching experience !!! Will this work with Movies Anywhere ??? That’s where I keep my movies !! Also if this is a portable device , how does it connect to the internet when you are on the go ??? Thank you !!
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.
uhhh did i see a dbrand grip??? mine just came today. sadly my samsung s7 edge fell down and broke... it is half usable some thing can be seen but some are just black and it really slows me down and restricts me and i don´t even have he money to buy a new one or repair it... but the case seems to be awesome
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
Frogdealer Well the 2 sensors coming with the rift is $120 total, touch controllers are $40 (because the $100 bundle comes with a sensor) so the Rift (headset only) is $240.
why not just get a HP Windows mixed reality headset? same price, but you get the 6 degrees of freedom and twin controllers, aswell as access to all HTC, RIFT and Microsoft VR games
You're so wrong about the Go providing higher resolution than the Rift! The Go has a single display so it's basically 1280 x 720 per eye whereas the Rift is 2160 x 1200 per eye because it has 2 screens and both of the screens are 2160 x 1200. So the resolution on the Rift is almost twice as good as the screen on the Go.
You may have already figured it out but I'll say it anyway ^^ : - you divided the actual resolution of the Go per 4 instead of 2. Basically it's 1280 x *1440* per eye (the vertical resolution is the same for each eye so you mustn't divide it ^^'). - the Rift horizontal resolution is *not* 2160 per eye, it's 1080. 2160*1200 is the *total* resolution ^^. So the Rift has 1080*1200 pixels per eye, whereas the Go has 1280*1440. The Go has a better resolution.
@@Dante02d12 You're right. When i looked at the specs it says 2160, but once you says that i went back and checked and it said 2160, then further down it says 1080 per eye. I also can't believe i divided the vertical pixes by 2 fit the Go as well! Oops!
It's alright, that happens ^^. That said the resolution is really the only advantage of the Go compared to the Rift! It's really just a "discover VR" product, for people who don't have a powerful PC for actual VR.
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.
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.
Sam Salaz lol thanks, experienced it today and the front got a little toasty :P (you couldn't have described it better) Find it a shame that picture quality isn't what I expected from this unit but I guess ill adapt over time

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
