Announced at Oculus Connect 5, the Oculus Quest is the latest headset from Oculus. This new product boasts several advantages over the previous generation of the chip-powered headset, and could represent a massive step forward for the capabilities of our platform.  The primary advantage is that the end-user cost of the headset is significantly lower than other virtual reality headsets, and could open brand new opportunities thanks to its portability. There are several unknowns in regards to what will be needed to utilize the full capabilities of the new hardware, as well as several technical challenges in converting over our existing technology stack to this new headset. The project’s focus is converting an existing piece of content over to the new headset, and upon learning of its particulars and limitations, we would develop a new tracking algorithm that leverages the Oculus Quest’s vision-based tracking.
