The total resolution of 3840×2160 is 2.25x the one of the Oculus Go , and being both the headsets LCD, this means that the fill factor has the same proportion. I haven’t found it super-ergonomic like the one of the Oculus Go, and also the material was a bit rough on my hand, but it was functional. Comfort. ???.

Oculus parent company Facebook today announced it’s bringing Spaces , the company’s own social VR app, to HTC Vive.

Honestly, I find it a smart idea for this moment, but I also think that HTC has to invest more to have more content on Viveport on the long term if it plans to fight with Oculus and its upcoming Quest.

This integration is still very rough, and so: It works only with Oculus and WMR headsets (because it requires an OpenXR-compatible runtime); It just lets you see your model , not also modify it.
