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. You’ll have the option to choose whether you intend to use the Oculus Go controller in your left hand or right hand. For Android users, you’ll need a device running Android 6.0 or later. iPhone users will need iOS 10 or higher.

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.

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. There are downsides to such an arrangement. At a middling volume in a quiet room, most people will be able to hear the Oculus Go’s speakers clearly. At its loudest, you’re looking at playing-music-on-the-bus-from-your-phone-speaker levels of obnoxious. Thankfully, Oculus Go has a headphone port and supports Bluetooth devices, so you can always resort to headphones. Rumors of an all-in-one Oculus headset first surfaced in July 2017 when Bloomberg reported that later that year Oculus would announce an affordable virtual reality headset that didn't need to be tethered to a PC or a phone. Codenamed "Pacific", the device would be lighter and more powerful than the Samsung Gear VR and aimed at the use cases of gaming, social networking, and watching videos and movies. It was also reported that the device would be equipped with a mobile Snapdragon chip from Qualcomm, and that Oculus would be partnering with Chinese electronics manufacturer Xiaomi to produce the headset. The device would carry Oculus's branding worldwide with the exception of China, where a custom version of the headset would be Xiaomi-branded and run some Xiaomi software.

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. This would've been the next logical step, for them. Risky, sure, but they've traditionally been more willing to take risks in the realm of format and user interaction. Perhaps they will simply become a software developer & publisher, if they're now too afraid to take such risks.

This first set of steps is to ensure you have the proper C++ redistributable installed on your PC. Follow these instructions: 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.
