SHOUTOUT to Lakuza. I used some images from his Oculus Rift OT since I've never made an OT before and his looked great.
What is it?
The Oculus Quest is the first all-in-one VR headset from Oculus. It is a standalone headset which means you do not need any additional hardware to make use of it (IE a PC/PS4). It is also the first truly wireless VR headset out of the box.
How does it work?
The Oculus Quest works by using cameras on the headset to track the movement of the controllers. The headset is capable of 6DOF (Six degrees of freedom) which means you can move in any direction and your movement will be tracked and you can interact freely with the environment.
What does it run?
The Oculus Quest will launch with over 50 games available through the Oculus Store. A lot of these games will feature demos to let you try the experience before you purchase them and there will be other free experiences on-hand as well. It has been said that Oculus is allowing cross-purchase between its PC and Quest stores so some games will be playable on both platforms with only one purchase. It has also been confirmed that there will be cross-play between Oculus devices (Determined by Developer).
Can I sideload applications?
It has been said you will be able to sideload applications in the same way you can do so on other Oculus mobile headsets (Notably Oculus Go). The process involves creating a developer account, installing drivers and allowing unknown source installations on the device.
