This combined with the Oculus Quest is a killer app in construction, engineering, and real estate. Right now a dense and accurate-enough point cloud takes many setups of a tripod thingy of some sort that costs thousands of dollars connected to an expensive cloud service. After all that, you then can look at it loaded on your PC and take measurements.

This may not have a superdense cloud and it may not be super accurate, but it is good enough for lots of uses. If you really can take a short room video in an app and not do a lot of processing yourself and then pop on the Quest headset and walk around in the room and look at stuff and measure stuff, you would sell thousands of these just to construction people. Who needs a tape measure? I have a phone and I will take a video.

In reply to Mak. You’re right. I think I was hoping too much ? Corrected the relevant paragraph.

“The new “killer feature” of this headset is inside-out tracking which allows users to walk around instead of just look around like other mobile VR headsets are limited to”.
The Oculus Go doesn’t feature inside-out tracking (only 3-DOF) . It’s a simple GearVR without the phone part. Windows MR HMDs, Vive Focus and the Google Daydream Lenovo Mirage are the only headsets with 6-DoF inside-tracking.
