At Oculus Connect 6, Oculus announced two killer features that could mean the end, or not, for the Oculus Rift S. Did Oculus just killed the Rift S with the Oculus link for the Quest ? Will hand tracking be only available on the Oculus Quest ? Should you buy a rift S ? What is the future of the Rift S or even other headsets like the Samsung Odyssey ? #oculus #oculuslink #rift What is the Oculus Link ? Here's Oculus explanation: 'One feature we’re definitely excited about is Oculus Link, a new way for people who own a Quest headset to access Rift content and experiences from their gaming PC. Starting this November, anyone who owns Quest and a gaming PC will have access to popular Rift games with Oculus Link software, which can be used with most high-quality USB 3 cables. Later this year, we’ll release a premium optical fiber cable to provide a best-in-class experience with maximum throughput and comfortable ergonomics. For developers, this means it’s now possible to build high-end PC games and experiences while taking advantage of the biggest possible market and connecting with new audiences as the Quest community grows. Oculus Link is truly the best of both worlds: the high-end gaming of Rift when connected to a PC, with the ease and portability of Quest on-the-go.' Oculus also announced hand tracking: 'Bring your real hands into VR like never before with hand tracking on Oculus Quest—no controller, external sensors, gloves, or PC required. Launching in early 2020, this breakthrough technology enables natural interaction by simply using your hands like you normally would to gesture, interact with virtual objects, and communicate with friends in VR. It works by using deep learning to understand the position of your hands and fingers using Quest’s onboard cameras, then translating this into VR.'
