Oculus Quest

Yes all rendering will be done by the cloud.
Console gaming is finished IMO. Stadia/cloud rendering is definitely the future. You don’t even need a console, it’s like Netflix but for 4K games. Just download the app and go.
Just let google render everything for you.
The Quest is then essentially just a window into remote hardware.

Another little question
Can you control and manage your PC (like with a tablett you can run a program on the PC with programs like TeamViewer, RealVNC etc... )Yes you can work from / stream your pc-desktop to the quest. The app is called VirtualDesktop.

It has to be said that using the Quest in “Developer Mode” unlocks its potential.
It basically allows you to side load any android app (most work fine) and PC based VR games.
I downloaded a previous Netflix APK from APKMIRROR and I can download straight into my quest for offline viewing on planes etc.

What would be great is if it was possible to stream VR to Quest from a PC to a android app. That way the processing would be done on the highend machine.

Yes it’s being worked on right now. Wireless VR is definitely the future. The sales speak volume.
Less hardware in the VR headset would make them lighter and more comfortable too. I’m all for it!

Thx for the video : but it's only games!
I suppose that will be the same for programms ? SketchUp for example ,..
For the moment seems you can't have in the O Quest "a full screen helmet" of what is on the PC ? -

All that seems ultra modern but recall me a scene of end's life in Soylent Green !

Hahaha pilou
VR is what you make it
It will definitely ruin some people’s lives though. 100% certain!

Another thing that is worth considering about a VR.....
Say for example you want a nice big TV to watch movies on. 60” OLED screen costs over $2000.
You can literally just buy the family a few quests; it’s cheaper and you are now looking at 50 foot cinema screens. Don’t have to fight for the best sofa and viewing angle lol
I don’t think I would ever buy a large TV again. Just have a normal one for watching news etc, background TV and then use VR for all movies.
This is gonna be a revolution in entertainment.

The best, most revolutionary thing about using VR in a workflow or gaming is the activity factor.
You are moving all the time. Even when sat down you are significantly more active than behind a PC. I sweat when gaming! You use your whole body, it’s beautifully ergonomic. When drawing it feels real, natural, human!
It also makes me laugh because a whole generation of gamers have been locked indoors button bashing....they can’t compete with grown men in VR games. It’s so funny. Their bodies are weak, I love it. Tables have turned, no more 12 year old kids embarrassing you in first person shooters! I’ve been training! Lolol
It actually encourages you to be fitter and stronger. When has a computer or games console ever done that?
-
It is 450$ each..
Nothing new!

Exactly!
A good, large 4K TV is over $1000. A really good one is $2000-$3000.
I wouldn’t buy a bigger TV, but I’d happily buy another VR for my girlfriend for films. Just a better experience and cheaper.
The resolution on TVs is getting to the point where you won’t even notice the difference as it increases unless you have a 100” screen (and who is going to splash $20,000 on a TV when VR gives you a cinema experience?)
