Adding to my “whats in my office” blog, I picked up an Occulus Go 64GB in the last couple of weeks!
Oculus Go
This is such a cool device, and at a very reasonable price point (£250 is standard) opens up the world of VR completely!
I’ve been playing with Google Cardboard for a number of years and whilst impressive it was always limited by it ‘consuming’ my Samsung Galaxy S5 (and latterly S9) and having very restrictive interaction capabilities – an ebay bluetooth controller just didn’t quite do it.
Best stuff I’ve seen so far:-
- Face Your Fears – proper horrific scarey stuff
- Childrens bedroom scenes will have you breaking out in a sweat
- Do pay for the Airplane experience, whether you’ll ever fly again is another matter
- Overflight
- A great little combat flight sim
- Campaign mode – first scene is soooo immersive, took me a while to crack it – in best pantomime style “he’s behind you!!!!
I thoroughly recommend cracking open the Go for sideloading apps and other tinkering stuff
