#Can i watch stranger things vr with gear vr movie#
Facebook is betting that some of the most popular use cases for the Go will be for watching Netflix on a movie theater-sized screen or for virtually gathering with friends to play board games. Although the Go may not have the processing prowess of the desktop computer-powered Rift, Facebook’s newest headset is perfectly capable of running casual games and entertainment apps.Īs such, Facebook is positioning the Oculus Go as an entertainment and social device above all else. The Oculus Go’s internal components are similar to the technology you’d find in a smartphone, save for some optimizations that were added specifically with VR in mind. The digital experience that the Go offers still surrounds you in a 360-degree virtual world full of apps that often play with depth perception and camera movement to create such illusions. As is the case with the Gear VR, the Oculus Go can still trick you into thinking you’re standing atop a mountain, soaring through the air, or shooting aliens in outer space. The Oculus Go, by comparison, uses an orientation system, which means you can rotate your head and hands in VR but can’t move around within virtual space.īut that doesn’t mean the Oculus Go isn’t capable of convincing your body that you’re elsewhere. Lenovo’s Mirage Solo supports six degrees of freedom, a term used to describe the type of VR that makes it possible to physically move around in a virtual space. But that headset, which at $399.99 costs twice as much as the Oculus Go, differs from Facebook’s in an important way. Lenovo announced its own wireless standalone VR headset called the Mirage Solo earlier this year during the CES conference in January. The Go is part of a new wave of cord-free all-encompassing virtual reality devices that don’t require any power from a separate device, whether it be a desktop PC or a smartphone. Now, Facebook is attempting to address those concerns and others with the Oculus Go, which launches on May 1 starting at $199.
