@@josaltI do not know if my opinion means anything to you but, I find that the video have created is very good. I really enjoyed watching through the history of VR.

@@badmanswag1152 Hey Badmanswag! Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me that you enjoyed the video and found it informative. I put a lot of effort into researching and creating it, so it's great to hear that it paid off and that you're excited about the future of VR. I hope you continue to learn and explore this fascinating technology!
It's more like, Valve and more specifically Gabe Newell could see the potential that VR had, and how far Oculus would have to go from what they were shown. They weren't entirely interested in hopping into the market right off the bat. And personally, I think that was a smart move. They struck at the perfect time with the Valve Index and made one of the most popular PCVR headsets out there nowadays.
@@Samevi I really hope the deckard does the same thing for the standalone market that the Index did for the PCVR market in terms of making high fidelity more accessible. It seems that Meta is in a downwards spiral at the moment too which could easily make my Quest 2 unusable if they stop supporting it.
@@Samevi Valve did a whole lot of their own R&D back with HTC and after, but by letting Oculus go on their own they let the market grow while focusing on building a good headset to sell, even though I feel Valve wouldn't have big problems with promoting VR...
This video was amazing. You did an absolutely incredible job at not only showing the history of VR in a super detailed way but also showing us how it physically evolved by trying out all of the headsets over the years. Absolutely phenomenal watch.
I agree, all of his examples that spanned 2014 to 2022 really showed how the technology evolved, and got us excited for a bright and innovative future of VR as it established itself as a technology and grown. *this is off topic and not related to the first part of my comment* there are similar videos/ time line that focus on another section of tech such as smartphones, I personally knew many things were happening in parallel to the oculus timeline. I would like to see a total timeline of the growth of all consumer tech from CPUs, to Phones, to Headsets to see how things evolved over time in coorellation to other tech
This video is amazing, the amount of effort you went through (and money you likely spent) is incredible. Also your passion for VR is clearly huge, hearing you describe each experience just makes me wanna play.
Hey man, thanks for the comment! It's awesome to hear that you thought the video was amazing. Like, for real, it took a lot of time and money to put together, but I'm so stoked that people like you appreciate it. It does mean a lot... Yeah my passion for VR is massive im obsessed at the moment its the future (at least for me). When I was talking about each experience, I could feel myself getting super hyped about the tech haha
@@josalt this should have 1m likes you sound and look like a youtuber with over 10 million the amount of effort you put in this video is insane I have stayed p night at 12:40 to watch your 1 hour video
My first headset was the CV1 and even though I have the Rift-S, Quest, & Quest 2, I still prefer the CV1 due to its OLED displays and because of how light it is. The controllers are also a beast when it comes to battery life and are super light aswell.
Yep that was my experience as well. Its so light and the controllers are amazing. Unfortunately for me the quest pro is just better mainly due to the lenses.
I have the whole line of vr headsets and I can't believe how fast the technology jumped. When I have people visiting my collection, I am telling the story but the dates never make sense. What feels like 30 years of history is not even 10..

Thanks for the nice words! Palmers departure was hard to get right im sure i got some things wrong and i read a whole book on it and watched interviews. I do think there is something missing.

This is such a well shot, and thorough video. I loved seeing all the gameplay and each headset alongside it! Can't wait to see where your channel goes!
My first VR experience was getting shown the CV-1 in a Best Buy in 2016. Absolutely blew my mind. I was quite broke at the time but I saved up and got one. I still use it frequently to this day and it absolutely slaps. The mesh face pad is atrocious but that’s really the only problem it has in my opinion. Thing is a feat of engineering
A lengthy, well made document about a lot of the recent VR history. You earned a sub. I expected just a review of all the devices, but got something much better :)
If you liked how half life 2 looked on vr, theres actually a mod on steam that allows you to play all of half life 2 (plus the episodes) in full 6dof with motion controls, its absolutely amazing
As someone who had a Rift CV1 when they first came out, you should really play Robo Recall, the graphics were and still are way ahead of it's time, it's basically on par with Alyx's quality but released way back when the only headsets you could play it on had resolutions that couldn't even see all the game's detail. It's a gem, really.
this really makes me have a new found appreciation for how far the tech has come, i remember in middle school my friends and I attempting to pool together a years worth of savings between all 3 of us only for none of our parents wanting to trust kickstarter, in hindsight im kinda glad as the DK1 probably wouldn't have been what we were after, but its insane to see how far its came in like a decade, id argue not even phones have gone through as big improvements (i mean with VR we went from no DOF to 6DOF full body tracking WITH hand tracking, with phones we went from what? touch screen with stylus to touch screen with finger?) its sad that the original oculus founder got thrown out, seems to be mark's kink really, but im also glad we got to have the quest and quest 2

What an amazing video. I got into VR with psvr1. Got quest 2 but i really feelt like I missed that golden pcvr days meta had with rift and rift s. So i got myself an used rift and rift s. Purchased all the AAA pcvr titles meta offered on PC on 2 accounts and i slowly completing them with a friend. Meta made most of their games multiplayer and works too this day!. I have now gotten myself the psvr2 and are excited for the future.
Thanks mate! Thanks for sharing your story. Eh i dont even think we have hit the golden age of PC VR yet maybe in a couple years haha! At least i hope so 😢Yeah Psvr2 looks cool enjoy it mate!

Great video! This really restored my hope in VR. I ordered a Quest 3 a bit ago and it hasn’t arrived yet. I was starting to regret my decision but this video really restored my hope in virtual reality. Great quality video, thank you for spending the time to make it.
Thank you for this video, the quality was perfect, the background subtle music is amazingly immersive, the documentation is very interesting. Overall 10/10 video!
The DK1 and DK2 days were amazing. Almost entirely in the hands of optimistic enthusiasts, all of the content and experiences being made were extremely creative and experimental. There were so many tech demos that are better than almost everything out there in recent years. There were no controllers back then, but there were all sorts of third-party companies making awesome hand tracking in motion cap type stuff. A lot of it was so much better than what we have now, of course what we have now is very accessible and user friendly. There was nothing more exciting in gaming than Palmer Luckey and Oculus. Midnight releases of new consoles were cool and all, but this was like stepping into a new thing altogether, and it was enthusiasts and small time developers showing what was possible that attracted eventually the venture capital etc. Nothings are a bit more sterile, but it's still great to be able to play practically any game in VR, even if all the experiments are largely gone.
The picture from the dk1 shows a lot of progression off the original headsets, weird to see how far it went in so little time then the internal development taking another like 2 decades to match
Thank you so much. I'm still on the OG Rift VC1 because I enjoy the light weight, behind-the-back tracking, PC Graphics and ASW. Looks like the Quest Pro finally made inside-out tracking work and the Quest 3 is similar, just without face tracking. Hope the latency and compression artifacts are okay when using it as PCVR. I really wish I could just plug it straight in.
@@Ordlnary_Gamer I think maybe he's referring to be able to plug it straight into the GPU like a native pcvr headset does to avoid the compression and artifacts.
To add some more history, the inter period between the launch of the quest 1 to quest 2 was crazy, alot of people wanted the quest 1 but FB stopped production to get ready to sell the quest 2, so resellers were selling quest 1s for almost triple the rrp. I feel like those who only got into vr during the quest 2 really missed the early vr community and the fun and theories that were going on at the time, it feels like there was more innovation. Still happy to see more people in the community and enjoying the thing that many people have dedicated their life to
Yeah definitely i remember the time but for me i was unsure if i should get a rift s or wait for quest 2. There are lots i had to leave out of the vid because it would go forever. The hardest thing to cut was what happened between the DK2 and CV1. They built tonnes of controller prototypes and headset prototypes. Im sure there is lots more innovation in VR to come we will see if Apples headset lives up to the hype but unsure if the huge leaps will come from META.
@@shreeeze I do back that, im happy that the VR community is much larger now and people see the potential that VR has. But that being said I feel like the whole dynamic of the community has changed, it feels personally more toxic and theres less innovation, speculation and hope for VR as a whole. Im not sure what was the cause of all this and I wish to not point fingers, but im still happy how the community how it is today I just miss some elements of how it used to be
I loved this video my first headset was the quest 1 I was just a 12 year boy who saved his $400 and bought I fell in love now I’m almost 16 and I bought a pc just to play vr and I have a index, quest 2, and kat walk c. I’m now a vr enthusiast I really believe in the technology. Even though stand-alone is what got me into vr I do wish meta didn’t ditch the whole pcvr community I want more AAA titles but I understand why they did this. Thank you for the history in the beginning too I’m sure this video will make people appreciate vr and not see it as a silly metaverse that may never happen.
You're so young, yet you're such an enthusiast! I'm also a young enthusiast, I'm about a year older than you, almost 17. I'm not as lucky as you, though. I only have a GearVR, Oculus Go, and Quest 2. Still, I love vr. And I plan to get many more headsets. Nice to meet a fellow young enthusiast!
@@DiamondDepthYT not every I meet someone my age with such a passion for vr not to be people can see the potential only the gimmick happy to meet another enthusiast!
Hey there, thanks for sharing your story about how you fell in love with VR! It was similar for me once i tried a rift s i was just hooked! It's awesome to see how much you've grown as a VR enthusiast, from your first Quest 1 to now owning an Index, Quest 2, and even a Kat Walk C i have always wondered if they are worth it ive never tried one! . Thanks for the nice words about the video providing some historical context and helping people to appreciate VR more. I thought it was important to understand where VR came from in order to better appreciate where it's going. And while it's true that Meta's focus on standalone VR may have left some PCVR enthusiasts feeling left out, it's important to remember that the goal is to make VR more accessible to everyone. With continued innovation and development, I'm sure we'll see amazing experiences and games on all platforms. I wish they would make a headset powerful enough to play VR games with a full operating systems like there holocake 2 prototype. Anyway, keep on enjoying VR and exploring all the incredible possibilities it has to offer!
@@josalt doesn't matter if it's 2nd hand what a video man! Very knowledgeable even not 1 million vr channel can create such type of great content like history and unboxing of every quest not even think of it! This video was a lot needed! And please continue this type of content not boneworks alone!
oh wow, republique vr looks great! sure its a little rough around the edges (due to being on a mobile headset) but still the asthetic is STRONG! so well done! Amazing! a well cobbled chunk of polygons looks way better than a infinitely poly dense flat world
I remember my Oculus Development Kit 1. Loved showing people roller coaster demos and things. Among the Sleep use to have a VR mode and was crazy with it. Now I own a bunch of VR Equipment.
ok but why did you set up an entire section around absolutely glazing a war profiteer? he brags about taking weapons contracts on his twitter. no matter how seriously you take his political fundings, he's far from what i'd call a "genuinely awesome guy". my jaw dropped dude
Plus his constant and not insignificant donations to republician politicians. One of those smarmy techbros we could really do without and certainly not awesome.
Glad it wasn't just me, what left me gobsmacked was the interview where he discussed choosing between defense, a nonprofit private prison company, or getting into petroleum based food products to combat obesity. No way it wasn't sarcastic, but it's like... all he got out of massive political fallout from a stupid impulse purchase was to double down on being a total asshole. More than war profiteer, human suffering and surveillance profiteer.
..are you talking about Palmer? Yeah, he's a terrible guy. But he's also the founder and creator of Oculus, the literal subject of this video. What did you expect? Also, I believe he was talking about Palmer in 2012-2015 ish, and not who he is today. Back then, he was very well praised.
That was fantastic! I'm still using the CV1 so when I am able to upgrade it's going to be quite a jump in visuals. It's very exciting to see how quickly things are evolving
Thanks mate! Yeah CV1 is honestly still pretty good the designs of the headsets have gotten a lot better but honestly CV1 is goo enough for most things...
Phenomenal video! I still use my CV1 from years back when i was in high school, recently been contemplating getting a new quest 2/3 but could never find a review where someone would compare to a CV1, so this weird niche review was extremely helpful for me. Thank you!
A single donation might steered entire vr industry downhill because of cancel culture. What a time to be alive... Actually let's see how quest 3 performs
I have a feeling quest 3 will be similar to everything we have gotten so far haha. Damn i just wish they woudl send the resolution as high as humanly possible !
The good enough passthrough in the quest 3 is a big difference for the casual users and opens possibility's for games! Quality overall is very good but indeed nothing special comparing to the more expensive headsets. Altough price vs quality they are the best in te market right now in my opinion !
Fantastic video! I actually didn't know Facebook acquired Oculus that early on 🤯 I've worked for a few VR experience venues since 2017 and thought I had a pretty good knowledge 😂 thanks for the great video 🙏
when i say im young to vr, i really am! i got my vr in december 25th of 2023, and ever since i got my quest 2, ive loved vr to the most ever, its crazy how much a box on your face can change everything.
The Gear VR, a few years ago, was my first VR experience. I used it with Virtual Desktop for any VR game that would take a gamepad or other form of joystick, it was great for Star Wars Squadrons and an early taste before I could nab myself an Oculus Quest. I think it's a very underrated headset, if you think outside the box
I own the Oculus Rift and it’s great, the only downside and reason I replaced it was because it was old and was restricting the amount of games I could play
the one thing that made me fall in love with the quest two is just how much is capable. if you do something right, BOOM. you just did i great thing. people have found ways AND WAYS to make a quest two better. like playing pcvr wireless with index controllers. you can do SO MUCH with the quest two. it BLOWS me away.
Great video! I watched the whole thing! :) I am still using my original Oculus Rift CV1 and I love it, but soon I'll consider upgrading to the Quest Pro!
i loved my cv1 then facebook had to screw over all the early cv1 adopters such as myself doing stupid stuff to make me loose trust in them i also didnt have the issues you had wit the cv1 i just set up my sensors and headset tightness and forgot about them

I'm still using the quest 1 cable with the quest pro right now!
Lord, I cannot stop watching this video!! Thank you Josalt!!
Thanks mate that means a lot!!
@@josalt You're welcome! Cheers!!
What was the game you were playing on quest 1? The star wars one? Is it available on quest 2?
Vader Immortal. Yeah its on quest 2
@@josalt thanks
Great video! This really restored my hope in VR. I ordered a Quest 3 a bit ago and it hasn’t arrived yet. I was starting to regret my decision but this video really restored my hope in virtual reality. Great quality video, thank you for spending the time to make it.
Fun fact! At 43:48, you can actually get this old menu back by using the Oculus Link to your computer. "This is the default menu for pcvr"
0:05 Is that tuscany
Yes
Thank you for this video, the quality was perfect, the background subtle music is amazingly immersive, the documentation is very interesting. Overall 10/10 video!
Whos watching this quest 3 is out?

The DK1 and DK2 days were amazing. Almost entirely in the hands of optimistic enthusiasts, all of the content and experiences being made were extremely creative and experimental. There were so many tech demos that are better than almost everything out there in recent years.
There were no controllers back then, but there were all sorts of third-party companies making awesome hand tracking in motion cap type stuff. A lot of it was so much better than what we have now, of course what we have now is very accessible and user friendly.
There was nothing more exciting in gaming than Palmer Luckey and Oculus. Midnight releases of new consoles were cool and all, but this was like stepping into a new thing altogether, and it was enthusiasts and small time developers showing what was possible that attracted eventually the venture capital etc.
Nothings are a bit more sterile, but it's still great to be able to play practically any game in VR, even if all the experiments are largely gone.
LETS GOOO!! THE LEGENDS BACK! Im getting up early for this.
🥰🥰
2011 to (almost) 2025?
That really amazes me how far VR and oculus has went.
It’s only gonna get bigger from here. (Hopefully)
JOSALT MOVIE
I mean basically haha
Wow! I never knew that was how the Quest line was made, it’s ABSOLUTELY amazing to see the DK2 and DK1 for the first time.
Why are the feet blurred 31:45😂
Haha i thought it would be funny
@@josalt you ahould unblur them i think it would be a very good idea and many people would be very very happy with that delicious i mean decision
The picture from the dk1 shows a lot of progression off the original headsets, weird to see how far it went in so little time then the internal development taking another like 2 decades to match
That impresive af
10/10 film
Thanks meme king
This UA-camr is so underrated
Thank you so much. I'm still on the OG Rift VC1 because I enjoy the light weight, behind-the-back tracking, PC Graphics and ASW.
Looks like the Quest Pro finally made inside-out tracking work and the Quest 3 is similar, just without face tracking. Hope the latency and compression artifacts are okay when using it as PCVR. I really wish I could just plug it straight in.
You can, but you must use a usb-c cable (preferably 3) to use it.
@@Ordlnary_Gamer I think maybe he's referring to be able to plug it straight into the GPU like a native pcvr headset does to avoid the compression and artifacts.
Amazing documentary
Thank you!
To add some more history, the inter period between the launch of the quest 1 to quest 2 was crazy, alot of people wanted the quest 1 but FB stopped production to get ready to sell the quest 2, so resellers were selling quest 1s for almost triple the rrp. I feel like those who only got into vr during the quest 2 really missed the early vr community and the fun and theories that were going on at the time, it feels like there was more innovation. Still happy to see more people in the community and enjoying the thing that many people have dedicated their life to
Yeah definitely i remember the time but for me i was unsure if i should get a rift s or wait for quest 2. There are lots i had to leave out of the vid because it would go forever. The hardest thing to cut was what happened between the DK2 and CV1. They built tonnes of controller prototypes and headset prototypes. Im sure there is lots more innovation in VR to come we will see if Apples headset lives up to the hype but unsure if the huge leaps will come from META.
The times before the Quest 2 were so amazing
@@shreeeze I do back that, im happy that the VR community is much larger now and people see the potential that VR has. But that being said I feel like the whole dynamic of the community has changed, it feels personally more toxic and theres less innovation, speculation and hope for VR as a whole. Im not sure what was the cause of all this and I wish to not point fingers, but im still happy how the community how it is today I just miss some elements of how it used to be
Wow, that was a great video! I love all the little transitions and edits. Also, that is a nice fridge.
Thanks for the kind words!
I loved this video my first headset was the quest 1 I was just a 12 year boy who saved his $400 and bought I fell in love now I’m almost 16 and I bought a pc just to play vr and I have a index, quest 2, and kat walk c. I’m now a vr enthusiast I really believe in the technology. Even though stand-alone is what got me into vr I do wish meta didn’t ditch the whole pcvr community I want more AAA titles but I understand why they did this. Thank you for the history in the beginning too I’m sure this video will make people appreciate vr and not see it as a silly metaverse that may never happen.
You're so young, yet you're such an enthusiast! I'm also a young enthusiast, I'm about a year older than you, almost 17. I'm not as lucky as you, though. I only have a GearVR, Oculus Go, and Quest 2. Still, I love vr. And I plan to get many more headsets. Nice to meet a fellow young enthusiast!
@@DiamondDepthYT not every I meet someone my age with such a passion for vr not to be people can see the potential only the gimmick happy to meet another enthusiast!
@@andrewrodriguez1483 how you get big money like dat?
Hey there, thanks for sharing your story about how you fell in love with VR! It was similar for me once i tried a rift s i was just hooked! It's awesome to see how much you've grown as a VR enthusiast, from your first Quest 1 to now owning an Index, Quest 2, and even a Kat Walk C i have always wondered if they are worth it ive never tried one! .
Thanks for the nice words about the video providing some historical context and helping people to appreciate VR more. I thought it was important to understand where VR came from in order to better appreciate where it's going.
And while it's true that Meta's focus on standalone VR may have left some PCVR enthusiasts feeling left out, it's important to remember that the goal is to make VR more accessible to everyone. With continued innovation and development, I'm sure we'll see amazing experiences and games on all platforms. I wish they would make a headset powerful enough to play VR games with a full operating systems like there holocake 2 prototype.
Anyway, keep on enjoying VR and exploring all the incredible possibilities it has to offer!
@@josalt thank you for your response and time it means a lot
Why is his feet blurred out at 31:40 ?
As a joke idk lol
must have been expensive but a good video definitely a underated creator
I got them 2nd had and did a few trades but loved making the video. Any excuse to buy more VR headsets... haha and thanks for the kind words!!
@@josalt doesn't matter if it's 2nd hand what a video man! Very knowledgeable even not 1 million vr channel can create such type of great content like history and unboxing of every quest not even think of it! This video was a lot needed! And please continue this type of content not boneworks alone!
@@Yaxsth Wow thanks so much for the kind words really does mean a lot! Yeah ill be branching out more haha but still have some boneworks stuff haha
@@josalt okay Np! 😂 Means a lot you can also do a Pico video? Like this
@@Yaxsth I want to but its expensive haha
Quest 1 still the best, the one I have so you know it’s true
cant argue with that
OLED and full IPD adjustment ftw
Now we need the meta quest 3!
"Palmer seems like a genuinly awesome guy"
Ah, you're one of those people.
Yikes.
And you are an even worse person
oh wow, republique vr looks great! sure its a little rough around the edges (due to being on a mobile headset) but still the asthetic is STRONG! so well done! Amazing! a well cobbled chunk of polygons looks way better than a infinitely poly dense flat world
I could've done without the 5 minutes of glazing palmer lmao
real.
I remember my Oculus Development Kit 1.
Loved showing people roller coaster demos and things.
Among the Sleep use to have a VR mode and was crazy with it.
Now I own a bunch of VR Equipment.
The oculus go menu is so nostalgic.
ok but why did you set up an entire section around absolutely glazing a war profiteer? he brags about taking weapons contracts on his twitter. no matter how seriously you take his political fundings, he's far from what i'd call a "genuinely awesome guy". my jaw dropped dude
Plus his constant and not insignificant donations to republician politicians. One of those smarmy techbros we could really do without and certainly not awesome.
Glad it wasn't just me, what left me gobsmacked was the interview where he discussed choosing between defense, a nonprofit private prison company, or getting into petroleum based food products to combat obesity. No way it wasn't sarcastic, but it's like... all he got out of massive political fallout from a stupid impulse purchase was to double down on being a total asshole. More than war profiteer, human suffering and surveillance profiteer.
Good thing we can skip over it...
..are you talking about Palmer?
Yeah, he's a terrible guy.
But he's also the founder and creator of Oculus, the literal subject of this video. What did you expect?
Also, I believe he was talking about Palmer in 2012-2015 ish, and not who he is today. Back then, he was very well praised.
That was fantastic! I'm still using the CV1 so when I am able to upgrade it's going to be quite a jump in visuals. It's very exciting to see how quickly things are evolving
Thanks mate! Yeah CV1 is honestly still pretty good the designs of the headsets have gotten a lot better but honestly CV1 is goo enough for most things...
When you upgrade, don't get rid of your CV1! You can use it for full body tracking!
Also waiting for the Quest 3? Seems to be the one to get.
who blurred palmers feet lol
Im glad someone noticed haha
@@josalt i noticed that too i was looking for some who saw thet lol also great vid
Yeah and I wonder why 😂
Phenomenal video! I still use my CV1 from years back when i was in high school, recently been contemplating getting a new quest 2/3 but could never find a review where someone would compare to a CV1, so this weird niche review was extremely helpful for me. Thank you!
do you want salt
and pepper
43:35 whats the blurred app 🤨🤨
Frige pics
There is a fridge in this one

Gimme a free one deal
Palmer luckey boosted the vr thoughts and now he has created a headset that explodes when you die in game
A single donation might steered entire vr industry downhill because of cancel culture. What a time to be alive... Actually let's see how quest 3 performs
I have a feeling quest 3 will be similar to everything we have gotten so far haha. Damn i just wish they woudl send the resolution as high as humanly possible !
The good enough passthrough in the quest 3 is a big difference for the casual users and opens possibility's for games! Quality overall is very good but indeed nothing special comparing to the more expensive headsets. Altough price vs quality they are the best in te market right now in my opinion !
5:40 is that where Stress level Zero got tuscany for boneworks from?
Palmer seems like an awesome guy??? Trump supporter who is now devoted to border control.... Ye what a cool guy
at 1:04 i was already told by the top g that we live in the matrix.
What's the space game he is playing at 59:14 on Quest Pro?
Fantastic video! I actually didn't know Facebook acquired Oculus that early on 🤯 I've worked for a few VR experience venues since 2017 and thought I had a pretty good knowledge 😂 thanks for the great video 🙏
when i say im young to vr, i really am! i got my vr in december 25th of 2023, and ever since i got my quest 2, ive loved vr to the most ever, its crazy how much a box on your face can change everything.
Why were you blurring lone echo in your oculus home menu? 43:41
Gear vr was my first vr headset, now 8 years later Im going into vr again with quest 3
The Gear VR, a few years ago, was my first VR experience. I used it with Virtual Desktop for any VR game that would take a gamepad or other form of joystick, it was great for Star Wars Squadrons and an early taste before I could nab myself an Oculus Quest. I think it's a very underrated headset, if you think outside the box
I own the Oculus Rift and it’s great, the only downside and reason I replaced it was because it was old and was restricting the amount of games I could play
Rift-S was my first VR, got it at the launch of Alyx. I remember booting up the first time. Awesome!
Is there an updated version
the one thing that made me fall in love with the quest two is just how much is capable. if you do something right, BOOM. you just did i great thing. people have found ways AND WAYS to make a quest two better. like playing pcvr wireless with index controllers. you can do SO MUCH with the quest two. it BLOWS me away.
Great video! I watched the whole thing! :)
I am still using my original Oculus Rift CV1 and I love it, but soon I'll consider upgrading to the Quest Pro!
I got the Oculus Quest 3 as a supprise Christmas present from my Mama she always makes Christmas amazing - I wasn't expecting a VR headset at all!
58:08. Thanks for jumpscaring me
does the gear vr use the same homes as the quest's?
not the original quest 1 charger... 38:57
what is the name of the game on gear vr
Which one?
@@josalt17:31 gear vr this
Watching while cleaning up my quest 2 too sell, hurts me letting go of this man.
Name if the strap u used for the quest 2 and price pls
i loved my cv1 then facebook had to screw over all the early cv1 adopters such as myself doing stupid stuff to make me loose trust in them i also didnt have the issues you had wit the cv1 i just set up my sensors and headset tightness and forgot about them
what was used to make the dk1 work?
hey quick thing at 47:54 , what/where is that map? i just cant find it
Quest 3 coming soon
yep
And the Apple Vision Pro
Don't believe the 23k subs I see, after I watched the vid I was expecting like 3 more zeros on that. Great content.
hey could you give me the link of the external usb hub that you used for the rift s , thanks!
just imagine a world where valve didn't hate VR back then, things would be so much different
hello nice video. i have oculus dk1 dk2. how did u set up the oculus dk to vrchat steamvr
Oculus utility running then if you just run steam vr it works 👐👐
Hey nice Video! What would you prefer? Oculus Rift or Rift S
Better Audio and screen on Rift, Better resolution and comfort on Rift S.
amazing video!!! watched all the way through and it only got better. kept me entertained all the way through- keep it up! 🔥🔥🔥
