would be a bit longer, so it‟s too bad that the company opted to set this as the goal,<br />
especially given that they actually shrank the size of the battery in this release.<br />

I want to touch on the Oculus software for a bit because it is actually crazy how<br />
much the Quest‟s software experien<strong>ce</strong> has improved sin<strong>ce</strong> its initial launch. All of<br />
these software perks have been evident to existing Quest owners who have seen the<br />
upgrades bringing items like hand-tracking and updates to the Oculus browser.<br />
Almost everything has been meaningfully improved from navigation to watching<br />
media content.<br />
All of these improvements have highlighted some limitations with the platform,<br />
though; namely there‟s still not enough non-gaming content. I worry that so many<br />
of the VR-curious platforms have already grown tired of VR and decided it‟s not<br />
worth the effort of maintaining a separate app. I almost wish Oculus would start<br />
integrating Android apps to the screen to passively flip through in between gaming<br />
sessions and media viewing. The Oculus browser is passable but I‟d love to get<br />
quicker slightly more native ac<strong>ce</strong>ss to doing some of the things I can on my phone.<br />
It seems like the platform is ready to move more in that direction.<br />
