Despite its other qualities, there is one glaring issue with the Oculus Go that myself as well as others have with it: the battery life. Because the Go does not need to connect to a PC to power it, it runs on its own rechargeable power supply. Oculus claims the Go will run for roughly two hours on a single charge (a little less for games, and a little more if you are just watching videos), and my testing showed that this claim is fairly accurate. The battery also dies while it’s just sitting there. If this sounds like an...

From conferences to friends houses, I've had my fair share of setting up and taking down my Vive. I've tried all types of stands hoping to find the perfect solution. Some are okay, and others are great. But nothing has been perfect for me yet. So I set out to create the best stand on the market. To me, the best stand is made with four sections, and compact so it is easy to travel with. It wouldn't have springs that rattle from the base stations, and legs stands that have a narrow footprint, increasing the size of the play...

Should I go to VRLA? That is what my friend just asked me the other day. This prompted me to write this. VRLA is coming up!  It's on April 14-15 in Los Angeles. VRLA started with a modest 100 person meetup to now being the World's Largest AR/VR conference with an expected attendance of over 10,000 people! This is something you don't want to miss out on.  If you are going to be at VRLA and want to link-up shoot me an email at shawn@basreality.co.  Hope to see you there!
