Oculus Connect, the company’s annual developer conference, is returning for its fifth year today. While we’re not entirely sure what the company has to announce in its all-important opening keynote, you can watch along with us here, starting today at 10 AM PT (local time here).

Taking place both today and tomorrow in San Jose, CA, Oculus Connect 5 undoubtedly will arrive with what we think will be some pretty major announcements.

On the docket of possible announcements include: Oculus Santa Cruz launch date announcement, more info on Oculus Half Dome ‘varifocal’ display headset, and more details surrounding its second-party titles including Lone Echo, Echo Combat, Stormland, and Defector. Check out our full predictions here.

    So foveated rendering and Eye tracking just after 4/5 years?…
    That means no high res displays, even if they release 2nd gen by 2019 or 2020…
    It seems their 2nd gen will have just varifocal displays…and maybe 140fov, with maybe a bit higher res, so more consumers could jump the ship…
