If you want even more: after this talk John took questions in Horizon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7mFEGah27c
In a big picture way, it's also interesting to hear a prominent Facebook employee being frank about the limitations of the product. Perhaps they're just not allowed to do that when it comes to privacy issues.
I thought he locked himself up in a cabin in the woods and tried to get into AI lately.
Occulus is tracking motion with camera which is way more CPU intensive than calculating position based on electromagnetic signals.
One trouble they had though that it wouldnt work well with high energy electric items nearby.
So dooes anyone know if Occulus or HTC vive or other well in market consumer VR device ever tried that or has plans to do so? is this even possible?
EDIT: They also made controllers for Razer. https://support.razer.com/console/razer-hydra/
He is an incredible public speaker. The first time I heard him, almost 10 years ago, speaking to a journalist at E3, I was shocked. So much detail, but so well communicated. I can happily listen to him talk on almost any subject.
Oh, he's improved over the years. You should watch his very first presentations, during the Quake era. I think he's taken some speaking lessons to diminish his "uhms". But yeah, he's fearless of the public, which removes his mental blocks. I used to stutter in front of the public, but the one thing that solved it for me was a course, where we had to improvise in front of a camera. At the end, the coach replayed every…
Up until that point, you are terrified of it happening. Once it does and you get past it, everything else seems much easier.
Watching recordings of yourself sounds like a mild form of exposure therapy.
Would anyone be so kind as to enumerate some of the things he talks about?

Has Occulus ever tried electromagnetic motion sensors. Sixense probably did that once, thought they never went into production but they said it was super precise and has very low latency.

One thing to realize is also that cameras (or lighthouses in the case of the Vive) are not the primary sensors. What really do the job are accelerometers and gyroscopes. Cameras only provide reference points to correct for drift.
Since it sounded to me like the low hanging mobile VR fruit has been picked, I went ahead and pre-ordered my very first HMD afterwards. Time to see for myself if this is the computing future or an evolutionary dead end.
