I can't find a clear answer if this will have positional tracking? If it does I'm insta-buying! Also, if it does that should seriously be a headline on this thing, that's all I wana know.

@begraffic Curious about this as well. At this price point, probably not.

@begraffic@dzhao I have a suspicion that positional tracking will not. But who cares because there is (antilatency) alt tracking .

@begraffic you can always use kinect or similar device, vicovr, for example
The price/pc barrier has been hurting VR for in my opinion. I'm glad to see that has been addressed. However, with AR now being widely accessible I wonder how this will fair and wonder is it too little too late? I can't wait to see.
Sooooo excited about this. Been holding out on getting the Vive or the Rift because I didn't wanna have to deal with/buy a PC. Getting this as soon as it ships! ⛵️
Will make sure to update this GIF.
@brunolemos it's standalone, this is me wearing the Gear VR

This is all cool and all, but I feel that Googles standalone will blow this out of the water, with their insideout technology that they'll be putting in and the fact they're working with HTC to work on a Google branded headset, and it's going to be stand alone just like this I feel as though Google has a better edge on this.
Keep in mind this product will most likely still utilise the lighthouse technology if you want room scale. And it's just going to be a bit more powerful than a phone based system.
If this can wirelessly connect to a PC and I can utilize the power of my PC whilst also having the power to use it on the go, but I think definitely this has yet over anything that Google will come out with. But we'll just have to wait and see.
This is perfect for people in Apple's iPhone/Mac ecosystem who largely haven't been able to do anything with VR without purchasing a new computer or phone. Very excited for this
Game-changer. I still believe AR will be much bigger than VR in the long-run, but this price point and portability are a 10x improvement over where the industry was a few years ago.
