Oculus Go Standalone Virtual Reality Headset - 32GB

Product Information

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. Incao, Jane (20 September 2018).

Should this change, we'll be sure to let our community know. Oculus has also outfitted its Go headset with a brand-new set of lenses that improve upon the lenses found in both Oculus Rift and the Samsung Gear VR. These refined lenses give you a generous sweet spot while ensuring that everything is crisp and clear. Even when your eyes stray to the edges, the fast-switch LCD screen keeps ghosting to a minimum, and minimises the screen door effect, where individual pixels become clearly visible. Follow the prompts on your phone, and it will establish a connection with your Oculus Go. Continue on your phone to connect your Oculus Go to a Wi-Fi network. Oculus Go uses the same Oculus store and UI as the Samsung Gear VR and, because of that, it launches with well over 1,000 different games and experiences to delve into. At this point, those of you who already own Gear VR headsets may wonder what the key appeal of Oculus Go is. In short, it’s generally a lot easier and more comfortable to jump into VR with Oculus Go over any of its mobile-powered rivals – but let us explain.

We also wanted Oculus Go to deliver the best visual clarity of any VR product we've ever built. So Oculus Go will ship with an all-new custom optical design. The lenses are the next generation of the ones on Oculus Rift. Same, wide field of view, and significantly reduced glare. This isn't an isolated incident either, we have 5 different people at HTG HQ using the Oculus Go headset, and most of us are having battery life issues. There aren't any common factors---one had developer mode enabled, the other 4 did not. One barely installed anything, and two others used it heavily. We're still doing research and will update when we find more answers. Built-in headphones and a microphone offer clear audio and easy chatting in VR. The Rift is connected to the computer using a split HDMI and USB 3.0 cable, so there’s no battery required, meaning you can enjoy VR without time limits. You can also share your view on the computer’s monitor for friends to see everything you see.

The best budget VR headset.

[17] [42] The headset has a field of view of about 101 degrees, [3] which gives it a horizontal pixel density of 12.67 pixels per degree. [a] The headset uses Fresnel lenses that are improved over those used in the Oculus Rift and according to Oculus, were the best lenses the company had produced at the time of the Go's release. [42] [51] [52] The headset doesn't feature physical interpupillary distance (IPD) adjustment and has a fixed lens distance of 63.5mm, which according to Oculus best accommodates users with an IPD between 61.5and 65.5mm.

Meanwhile, the controller acts as a pointer in the VR space.
