John Carmack: Oculus Go will perform ‘significantly better’ than Samsung’s Galaxy S7

The Oculus Go standalone VR headset should be with us in a matter of weeks or months, but we still haven’t been able to test the thing out for ourselves. Oculus’ John Carmack has given us a vague idea of what to expect from the device’s performance, though.
