OculusConnect 6

So what's the predictions for this weeks round of talks and presentations?
I think its obvious there will be some great software releases, maybe some social applications that are sorely needed.
I did see some discussion about PC streaming to the quest in an official capacity. This could be a big step forward as well despite the limited battery life of the unit, but it does last longer than the controllers of another brand looking onto this area. I`m looking forward to Carmacks talk.

No one will talk about Nate Mitchell leaving or the Antionov scandal. Lol

I think Oculus will talk a lot about Quest success and less about PCVR. They’ll introduce a AR headset for a 2020 Q2 release to coincide with F8.

Maybe RiftS will get some love with attachable headphones?

We’ll see more Facebook cash splash like Respawns AAA shooter taking centre stage.

We won’t hear anything useful said like about OpenXR.

Yea I`m looking forward to se what the Respawn games is like. I really don't get the issue with Oculus funding games. Sony and Microsoft have been doing this for years. It promotes quality exclusives to shift hardware.

Banker Vladimir Antonov faces creation of organized crime group charges ?

Wrong Antonov mate, it's Michael Antonov who's the only Oculus founder member working at Facebook

No live stream?

Run Rift content on the Quest via USB cable from PC = RiftS just died. I said Lenovo would get burned.

Hand tracking on Quest early 2020.

ooops Watch Oculus Connect 6 Opening Keynote Livestream Here @10 AM PT

Not a bad start.
£100 million in sales on the Oculus store alone. 20% is quest in only four months.
Play all your PC Rift games on the quest via a USBc connection (I wonder if other library's will be included). Shame its not wireless yet but that would require being in the same room as the router and having one that supports 5ghz.
Hand tracking coming to quest, no extra hardware needed.
Horizon social experience, yea this is going to be full of ****s but like VRChat I expect you block and filter other users.
Best bit so far - Its all free!
