Love the simultaneous apps and compositor, including dev tools on headset! But no dev kits - enjoy the simulator for 6 months.
Didn't think they'd spend on that front screen - they really know the user they're targeting.
No gaze data on $3500 HMD - maybe an enterprise mode?

The good news is they got a grant for VR training and headsets. We filmed 360° videos of experiences like “first day on the job at a pet store” to quell anxiety and acclimate their served folks to new experiences. It’s truly VR for good.

I am dumbfounded at @oculus - our senior care customers can not afford the more expensive Quest and don’t need 6dof. We bring comfort to so many seniors with @WellnessVR on the Go. We *need* simple, affordable headsets for healthcare and education! #gonogo

Boo @oculus Aging Veterans groups rely on Oculus Go to provide VR tours. Now you’re requiring these non profits to upgrade to Quest? In the middle of a pandemic? Where ppl are cash strapped? Plz explain why you are making VR *less* accessible? #GoNoGo m.facebook.com/honoreverywhe… – at Missouri, USA
