Backed by Triple Monitor Setup, Facebook’s part-time technical guide John Carmack unwritten about VR status this week and uninterrupted for about 82 minutes.
Wikipedia gives the movie runtime, “This is a spinal tape” as 82 minutes. So you’ll be able to play on the movie the moment Karmak starts talking, and you’ll be at the end of the movie about the time Karmak ends up saying, “And I think I’m done here.” During the uninterrupted flow of consciousness that shut down Facebook Connect on September 16, Doom’s co-creator, rocket scientist and longtime VR. Enthusiastic Oculus Quest 2 and its “state-of-the-art” XR2 chipset cover everything. c Cools link to PC VR connection, internal play on Facebook and their push towards general purpose computing system.
In the comments and description of the video below, I’ve found a guide to take you straight to some of the most interesting comments. One thing in particular comes around 31 minutes and 28 seconds when Carmack discusses the wireless connection between the gaming PC and Oculus Quest.
“We have not yet announced the perfect, like, wireless connection system for Link,” Carmack admitted. “And we have international arguments about this – about quality bars – and I … can just say that someone is using a wireless VR streaming system and getting value out of it.”
Guy Godin’s virtual desktop is, of course, one of the clearest examples. The version of the app available by Quest from the Est Coolus store, given the variability in the quality of the experience, does not allow owners to play their PC VR games wirelessly due to restrictions imposed by Facebook. Many people venture on SideQuest, and install patches that unlock this capability. Although Carmec does not specifically name the virtual desktop in its comments, it essentially points to such solutions as “clearly meeting someone’s minimum quality bar and delivering value as they come and go… so I keep hitting that drum.” Where we want. There is some kind of ‘air link’. ”
It’s the first time we’ve noticed the term “air links” and it’s interesting to hear him speak openly about the situation around a wireless PC VR connection. Oculus Quest is already one of the leading PC VR headsets used on Steam by methods like Oculus Link and Virtual Desktop, and Oculus Quest is set to send more Facebook headsets for use on Steam starting October 2.
We’ll have updates as we hear more about Facebook’s plans for wireless PC VR games on Oculus Quest. I encourage you to check out some of Carmack’s comments on time stamps recorded as chapter markers in the video above. Carmeck’s comments provide a rare glimpse into Facebook’s internal team dynamics while providing a glimpse of the road ahead.
Here are some more time stamps to go:
- 00:03:03 “Virtual reality reality downturns and epidemics should be the global future for virtual reality …”
- 00:05:12 “Unfortunately location-based VRA may have hit the terminal with this …”
- 00:06:00 “People are okay with the type of sweating mess in their own personal headsets.”
- 00:08:55 “Putting it like this in reality – it gives grateful rates – and it’s fixed and it’s something we can make a difference and it can make a real difference in many meetings …”
- 00:12:07 “You have to do everything right and then you get the reality because something flows seamlessly in the simulation, sometimes I talk about how interesting it would be to go ahead and take the lighting in the room and sync it with the screen light. ”
- 00:14:06 “Quest 2 is better, faster, cheaper, and we make a ton more of them … this is very close to a pure victory.”
- 00:14:54 “Actual resolution is 64 3664 × but 1920 but it is a full RGB bar નો which means it is twice the number of subdivisions [as compared to Quest]”
- 00:16:33 “This is getting to the point where you can start doing some real work with it. In some situations it may have some advantages over a laptop.”
- 00:17:36 View and IPD field: “It’s better than the Rift S or Go that it had no adjustment and it allowed us to get this kind of better screen for it.”
- 00:18:34 “It’s clearly the best performance we’ve ever had.
- 00:31:29 “We have not yet announced a complete wireless connection system for the link … we should have some kind of air link.”
- 00:32:47 Q com Luck XM XR2… “For the first time we are using an advanced chip.”
- 00:59:12 “Whatever the front headset is, we’ve got high resolution on the tracking camera.”
- 01:00:45 “We looked at this for days after Gear VR, plug-in two of these types instead of drop-ins, and there may still be some useful things to go.”
- 01:00:59 “There are still some things for which Go is the best headset”
- 01:02:04 “Finally, putting on a headset should be as seamless as answering a phone call …”
- 1:02:31 “Converting things on our VR platform now is a big relief. It’s really hard to explain how much drama has been going on internally over the years. “
- 1:03:12 “We have this low-powered gaming-centric device that wasn’t really like anyone’s in the beginning.”
- 1:05:17 “Getting cheaper systems on VR is crucial and eventually we may have super high-end boutique items …”
- 1:08:47 “Maybe you have controller free SQ where controllers are more expensive but they never lose tracking …”
- 1:12:06 “It’s about learning all the headsets to understand the world around you …”
- 1:18:41 “Our pressure is to become a general purpose computing system …”
- 1:19:40 “I think we need more Android apps …”
- 1:21:40 “And I think I’m getting done here …”
