The Vive Focus was most probably the best VR standalone on the market when Oculus last week announced what will be the first consumer 6DOF VR standalone headset.

In the end, the time has come: Oculus has officially revealed the name and the price of the Santa Cruz headset. Its name will be Oculus Quest and will cost $399.
HTC Vive Focus is one of the most famous standalone VR headsets. I have always been intrigued by this device, since the first time I’ve read about its reveal at an HTC event: I don’t know why, maybe because of the azure color that is my favorite, maybe because it looks so informal. Three months […]
The Oculus Go is one of the headsets of the moment: it is the first truly consumer-oriented VR-only device: it is easy to be used, it is cheap and it is (or will) available in the retail shops, so has all the potential to attract people that until now considered VR something too geek. For […]

That’s why Vive has recently announced an interesting 6 DOF device called Vive Focus, while Oculus has two products in line for launch: the cheap Oculus Go and the premium […]
Yesterday I was reading the news regarding Oculus Go (ah, a great article about Oculus Connect 4 is coming tomorrow!), the new cheap headset announced by Oculus and I was triggered by the idea that it was a cheap dedicated VR device to foster adoption. This led me to some shower thoughts that I want […]
Last week has finished with a big boom for virtual reality: at Google I/O conference, Google has announced its upcoming Standalone headsets. In this post I’ll try to describe all the main information about this and all other AR/VR news they’ve announced… information that are splattered around dozens of posts around the web and that […]
