Oculus CTO John Carmack reveals what's next for Oculus Go
Oculus CTO John Carmack is known for giving an unfiltered speech on day two of Oculus' annual Connect conference, and this year is no different. Today, he talked extensively on the trials and tribulations of making Oculus' latest slate of standalone headsets, and more intriguingly, gave a sneak peek as to what expect in the next generation of the Oculus Go. He also said that current Go headsets will soon get support for microSD cards over USB, a night mode and a low-power mode.
The low-power mode would turn off features like chromatic aberration correction, dim the display or cap the framerate at 60fps, all of which might squeeze out an extra 15 minutes or so of usage. That doesn't seem like much, but it could be long enough to finish that movie or game. He also said that the next-generation Go would likely get a larger battery, an improved chipset, more storage and maybe even six degree-of-freedom controllers if they can get it cheap enough.
