Oculus Go Will be Off Now
Facebook has decided to discontinue the Oculus Go VR headset, citing low demand. ..
The Oculus Go is a VR headset that was launched in 2017 by Facebook in a partnership with Xiaomi. The VR headset is entry-level and has only 3 degrees of freedom(3DoF) and having a 5.5-inch LCD screen with 1280X1440 per eye, with a refresh rate of 71Hz and a 2600mAh battery that could give you 2 to 2.5 hours of gaming. The Oculus Go is designed for use with the Oculus Rift, which is required to use it.
Oculus Quest is the successor to Oculus Rift. It has better specifications like an OLED display, a Snapdragon 835, active cooling, and 6DoF. ..
Facebook is planning to upgrade the Oculus Quest and that will make the current Oculus Quest a little more affordable so there will be less scope for the Oculus Go, keeping that in mind Facebook is going to scratch the sales of the Oculus Go this year and will not be releasing any VR headsets with 3DoF.
Oculus has announced that they will no longer be releasing bug fixes or security updates for the Oculus Go after December 18, 2020. This means that if you own an Oculus Go, you will not be able to access new apps or updates after this date. ..
Facebook is working to make it easier for developers to distribute their Oculus Quest apps outside of the Oculus Store. By 2021, they will be able to share them without sideloading or being accepted in the Oculus Store.
Xiaomi filed a new patent for a sliding camera phone. The phone would have a sliding mechanism that would allow users to take pictures and videos without having to take their hands off the phone. ..
Facebook is testing face ID and touch ID lock for its Messenger app on iOS. This will make it easier for users to keep their messages and conversations private. ..
