Really find it stupid that I must log in to my account to unsubscribe.
By making it that difficult, I will likely just mark the next emails as Spam and they will automatically go into trash.
Thanks for making it extremely difficult to unsubscribe
Not appreciated,
P.S. after hitting “submit” I also get to take a photo quiz. What a true PITA, just to unsubscrib

From my point of view the main limitation of the Go for games isn't 3 DoF or the limited hardware, but the controller. With only a trigger, a (clickable) touchpad and a back button, games often struggle to offer a good method of control.

Even just adding a shoulder bumper or the like might help in some cases (for example in Pinball FX2), but a second Go controller with a thumb stick should do the trick in adding the right amount of interactivity, achieving most of what a game controller can do and some things it can't (such as separate interaction for both hands).

An ideal second controller would look like the regular Go controller, but offer a thumb stick in place of the touchpad. A plastic bridge that the controllers slide into could help join them into a single controller, for games that may be more comfortable with a classic style game controller.

It's not a trivial challenge to add this, but doesn't seem too complex, either. I'm not a hardware designer, but (looking at a controller teardown) it seems to me that a thumb stick would take some vertical space currently used for the board. If a redesigned board could fit around that, great, but it not, then the controller might have to be a tad bigger. Not a big issue, but would kill symmetry. Then again, if the Go's touchpad controller is modified to add a shoulder bumper, maybe that would return symmetry back.

Another challenge is if we want the second controller to have similar directional tracking as the first (which I think is highly desirable), allowing for two handed games, like Beat Saber, using sword and shield and so on. (Obviously we don't get spatial tracking, but even with its 3 DoF limitation the Go controller has already proved adequate for this kind of control.)

With two different controllers, we can easily assign one to be the left controller and the other to be the right controller. Both user and headset will be easily able to tell which is which, so we could extend the current body model easily, something that won't be trivial if just using two of the same controller.

Then we need to take care of drift. The current method of recentering seems fine to me, and I think can be extended to a second controller. The user would simply hold the two controllers while resetting. I think that most users would be able to adapt to this easily (I tried holding two controllers like this and it felt fine to me), and since the second controller would be optional, apps that don't ask for its use will not require it to be centred, and the OS could even turns it off (which should help battery life).

“Four Generations Day”
Miranda, Aaron, Fox and I went down to see Mom and Don for her B-day. It was one of those perfect days.
Cake said Happy B-day Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma.
We got her “Oculus” (360° VR immersion) that will take her anywhere in the world from the comfort of her own home.
For someone with limited mobility Oculus provides exercise to the eyes, head, neck, upper body, arms and fingers, all while having fun.
(Looking around) (pointing at things) Mom was amazed by the experience and realism.
I think anyone with limited mobility should have this available to them.

Another way to keep the Go as a viable platform (which has been suggested before in past posts by others) is to encourage game developers of upcoming Quest titles to produce smaller demos for play on the Go. Given the fact there are standards that the Oculus company requires for titles to be approved, it might be useful to post such lower level demos to see how well the consumers respond to them. Of course, the ever growing requests (including my own post) to add 2nd Oculus go controller support comes into play, if it's still possible to achieve.

Well sure the game developers could just try release demos straight to the Quest, but I understand the need for quality control also. This is merely just another suggestion to consider and discourage some titles from not being released or released through other methods. Hopefully, this could be supported by the Oculus company and give some developers ideas.
Bottom line, give the Go users some demos, see if we like them, present the full games with a proven track record to Oculus. Might be a win-win for everyone.

Anyway, thanks again for your time.
