First impressions:
So far Im loving it. Keep in mind that my previous VR experience was limited to the Development kit version of the Oculus, so this is a big improvement.
It gets a little warm, but its also in the 90's and humid here today. Battery life was as advertised, I got at least 2.5hr through some games and just browsing around.
I downloaded the Netflix app and will give it a try tonight.
There is obviously still some screen door effect, nowhere close to what my other HMD had, but its there.
Once we get to 8k resolution per eye, it will be better, but that is still far off in the future.
There are a few demos that come with the Quest, a tennis game which was amazingly fun, Beat Saber and Space Pirate.
The Quest sets up a Guardian zone around you. When you power it up in a new room, it asks you to paint a safe area around yourself. This sets up a holodeck looking grid around you where you can move around safely. If you step outside of this grid, the VR stops and you see the pass through image directly from the cameras which is a very cool feature.
I do not see this coming anywhere close to replacing any of my PC games, its more of a novelty, something to kill 20-30min with but no more.
I can see a time in the near future where a headset like this, at least 50% smaller and lighter will be sitting on your desk at all times. You will be able to slip it on and instantly transition from your screen to the wireless HMD. Those Star Citizen dogfights are going to be awesome!
