Oculus founder Palmer Luckey has an exciting announcement for Augmented World Expo

This is an interesting turn of events because Palmer Luckey brought us modern VR. His startup Oculus gave us the first modern consumer VR headset: Oculus Rift. If anyone has the technical know-how and industry experience required to make excellent VR headsets, it’s Luckey.

However, some controversy surrounds Luckey as well, which may put off some potential customers. Luckey’s political views and donations in addition to his social media activity were not well-received when made public. He was also let go from Meta because of the PR disaster his actions caused the company.

So while I am excited to see what he announces at AWE, I’m aware not everyone will want to buy what he puts down. Fortunately, there’s a lot of other excellent headsets to choose from if you’re enthusiastic about VR. The Meta Quest 3, for example, is an excellent headset that doesn’t break the bank.

And the PSVR2 is now also an option for a modern headset that can play PC VR games. As Sony continues to port its exclusives to PC, the company is also releasing a PSVR2 PC adapter in August.

Yes, the headset will be missing some of its best features on PC. But its OLED displays and finger touch detection controllers still make it worth considering. PSVR2 is on sale too, making it cheaper than the Quest 3 if you’re fine with the lack of native games.
