My interested in VR started when I walked past a local electronics store and noticed the Samsung Gear VR headset on display. When I put it on I was blown away! But being in the Apple ecosystem I didn’t have a Samsung smartphone, and the idea of buying one just for this purpose was surplus to requirements. Also, the idea of buying a VR headset that has cables connected to a PC or Playstation has never appealed to me. So instead, I opted to use my iPhone 6s in a rather cheap headset - even though I was fully aware this wasn’t the best VR experience available. Even still, I found the VR experience reasonably impressive, or so I thought. Yin-Poole, Wesley (23 June 2020). "Oculus ditches Go headset to focus on Quest". Eurogamer. Gamer Network Limited.

Now that ALVR is installed on your PC, it's time to get the ALVR client installed on your Oculus Go headset. Whereas you'd normally have to set up an Android Debug Bridge and register as a developer, ALVR has a handy way of getting the Oculus Go app with minimum hassle. Just follow these steps:Heaney, David (31 January 2019). "Facebook: Oculus Go "Contributed To Revenue Growth", But Also To Marketing Costs". UploadVR . Retrieved 2 February 2020. It’s games like Coaster Combat where the Oculus Go controller shines because it goes beyond simply selecting things and becomes a part of the virtual world you’re seeing before your eyes. The Oculus Rift has slightly lower-resolution OLED screens, pairing two displays for a total resolution of 2,160 x 1,200. These still offer a clear picture, and they can refresh the image up to 90 times per second. While that 90Hz refresh rate is helpful for incredibly smooth VR, the ability to offer that smoothness is linked to the power of whatever PC is tethered to it.

I couldn’t wait for the Oculus Quest, so I decided to buy the Oculus Go hoping it would satisfy my needs for mobile VR. Unfortunately, this hasn’t been the case. As we noted, the Oculus Go is nicely suited to seated experiences where you won’t be moving around so much as looking around. It can handle 360-degree video well. This doesn’t mean there aren’t cool games and experiences, though. Some of the games that come out on the Rift also get versions that will work on the Oculus Go. Heaney, David (21 January 2020).

Retrieved 11 August 2019. Oculus Go represents a step in the right direction for VR.

The experience is smooth and more impressive than I imagined it could have been. I will say that the experiences are closer to mobile games than anything you'll get for a full PC VR setup. There is a lot of free content. If you're mostly using the VR headset for watching videos, you can save at least a little bit of battery life by copying the movies directly to the headset and playing them from there, instead of streaming them in a private browsing window or streaming them from your PC. But it's not going to save a ton, and you're better off just plugging it in if you're having battery issues, especially since you're not going to be moving your head as much while watching videos.a b c Takahashi, Dean (1 May 2018).

I really think for the price and for what you get, I am still very impressed. From the improved visuals and the simple controller, I think someone who hasn’t owned a PC tethered VR headset would really appreciate the Oculus Go. If you deciding between the GearVR or Oculus Go, definitely pay the extra for the Go for significant performance and convenience boost. Se calienta, se recontra-CALIENTA, y sale un aviso de que está muy caliente y es mejor apagarlo.

We suspect that the lower refresh rate is a symptom of the available processing power and not a limitation of the panel technology. To keep the costs down to a palatable level for the mass market, Oculus chose a dated Snapdragon 821 processor, which is the similar to the chip found in the two-year-old Samsung Galaxy S7.
