Oculus Link is an update available now for Oculus Quest that allows you to play full PC VR games from Oculus and Steam VR on your Oculus Quest. In this …
Thats why we couldn’t play steam vr games in third party software. They did it for us!
Great video. Here is what I found out as far as cables go. First, I just happen to buy the 10’ anker cable oculus recommends. Purchased it yesterday morning right before link released, and got the cable delivered this morning (luckily purchased it before they ran out). The anker cable works great! I am using it through a usb 3.0 powered (also happens to be anker hub, that wasn’t on purpose). Wasn’t sure it would work through the hub, but low and behold it worked flawlessly. I had no issues of latency and the graphics looked smooth and amazing! Played through Vader episode 1 and around oculus home a little bit. Can’t wait to finally play Stormland and Asgard tonight when my daughter goes to bed.
Anyhow, one other huge piece of information I found by just trying it out… have numerous Amazon basic 3.0 usb extensions. Hooked up a 10’ usb extension to the anker cable and yep, still working great… with 20 feet of cable!
F*CKKK!!! i bought rift s instead of quest! i hate my life damn it…
I prefer the Nerve Gear
What exactly is the point of the S, then?
I was getting super excited for this because I'll finally be able to play pc games on my quest, but then I find out a 1050 ti isn't supported
Does anyone know what are those triangle lights in the backround?XD
Will this allow you to play minecraft through it?
Will rift s get full hand tracking too or is this just coming to quest?
Finally. I can play Five nights at freddy's On VR WOOOO!!!!
I currently have a og rift but am getting the quest with link for Christmas and am looking forward to comparing them with games such as blades and sorcery, the wizards and stormlands
Thats a real bummer for me, I am running a AMD RX480 graphics card. -_-
how do you get the oculus software?
Anyone know if you could use a laptop with the quest? And if so what laptop would you recommend please
Yasss
You should do a superhot comparison of quest vs quest link
If you're planning on buying the quest like I am now you can wait for a few days and get it with the black friday deal that includes all of Vader Immortal! ($30 value)
'VR is great! But I wish it didn't need cables.' Oculus makes a kit without cables 'This is great! But can I plug it into my PC?'
Update: Desktop GTX 1060 SUPPORTED!
what is better to bay Valve Index VR Kit ore Oculus Quest ?????
I know this may be a dumb question but will doing this improve the quality of the oculus’s screen
Do you think that they Will add GEAFORCE GTX 1060
Both cables are sold out…
Not sure if I misunderstood something or wasn't paying attention. My card is supported but doesn't have a usb-c port on it, but my motherboard does. Does this mean I will be able to plug the anker cable from my quest to my motherboard's usb-c port? And will that work the same way for the oculus link cable?
You say we can't use the cord that comes with the quest because it doesn't transfer data, but I use that cable to download sideloaded apps
What about gtx 1050 ti for oculus link?
I’m really struggling with the choice of rift s or quest. I was thinking rift s cause I have a ton of pcvr games. And I’m not a big fan of battery’s. But I have heard there is a lot of issues with the rift s. I also have a GTX 1060 which is not supported so I don’t know.
I can only get the 3 meter cable from the US version of Amazon
I have a question: In the video it says that GTX 1060 isn't supported, but on oculus' support page, it says it is (https://support.oculus.com/444256562873335/). I think an article on Ars Technica also said that it isn't supported (but there were discussions about this in the comments). I notice that the oculus link says that it specifically is the desktop version that's supported, but I assume that's what I have, since it's a desktop computer. Can anyone more tech savvy than me clarify this? Is GTX 1060 supported or not?
Will this work on a Mac Laptop ?
Is it absolutely required to use windows 10? I've ran most vr things on my 7 and my 2 1080s. Can I use windows 7 with the quest link?
Just got my Quest (charging now), stoked!!! btw You look so much Betta than in 360
Quest is my next headset
Any chance of loading DCS and seeing how that goes. I know it's not that popular but DCS players are keen adopters of VR and struggle to get it working well with many headsets. Great videos in any case.
Is there a store I can go buy this in rather than ordering it off amazon (or any other website)?
Well that dindnt answer the question….so wich headset should i buy right now rift s or quest?
I’m glad I bought this little unit. I was skeptical at first because my first taste of VR was on the Samsung galaxy vr headset. That thing sucked. Felt like you were looking through a screen door. Then I splurged and bought the PlayStation vr and, surprise…same issue, bigger problems though. One of them being the fact that you have to put a PlayStation camera in a good spot…oh and the cables!
Anyone that has first generation of ps vr knows what I’m saying. It’s just an insane mess of cables.
I got this oculus thinking it would just be an expensive toy and braced myself for a screen door simulator. Boy was I wrong.
If you can buy it, to for it. Put it on a credit card, sell your kids, sell your kidney, whatever it takes. It’s worth it.
Can you play SteamVR games on Oculus link?
