The Oculus Go is a virtual reality headset with a difference. It sits somewhere between mobile VR and an integrated unit, giving it some advantages over other platforms. Owned by Facebook, it is starting to make some headway in the VR world.
So what are the plus points of the Oculus Go? It is much more powerful than other mobile headsets, meaning it can do more. It also is cordless, which is a big step forward for this kind of technology. One thing that has been holding VR back somewhat is the presence of a disruptive cord, making it harder to suspend disbelief, so players love this feature.
The downsides? It doesn’t look the best, with some critics saying it looks a little bit cheap. It also isn’t as powerful as VR consoles like the PlayStation VR, despite being more powerful than completely mobile VR headsets. It’s worth it, but does remind us that VR still has a way to go.
