Motion Controls

There are downsides to such an arrangement. At a middling volume in a quiet room, most people will be able to hear the Oculus Go’s speakers clearly. At its loudest, you’re looking at playing-music-on-the-bus-from-your-phone-speaker levels of obnoxious.

Rumors of an all-in-one Oculus headset first surfaced in July 2017 when Bloomberg reported that later that year Oculus would announce an affordable virtual reality headset that didn't need to be tethered to a PC or a phone. Codenamed "Pacific", the device would be lighter and more powerful than the Samsung Gear VR and aimed at the use cases of gaming, social networking, and watching videos and movies. It was also reported that the device would be equipped with a mobile Snapdragon chip from Qualcomm, and that Oculus would be partnering with Chinese electronics manufacturer Xiaomi to produce the headset. The device would carry Oculus's branding worldwide with the exception of China, where a custom version of the headset would be Xiaomi-branded and run some Xiaomi software.

Design

For Oculus Go, Oculus and Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi have taken plenty of cues from the Oculus Rift for Oculus Go’s design. Gone is the fabric-wrapped shell of the Rift, replaced by a matte plastic casting that feels classier than you’d expect. Compared to the Samsung Gear VR, the Oculus Go feels like a much more upmarket device. Heaney, David (20 November 2019). "Oculus Go Won't Get USB Storage Support After All". UploadVR .
