Respected and longstanding tech news media network TWiT.tv (This Week in Tech) has kept a watchful eye on virtual reality’s growth over the years and tomorrow will live stream coverage of Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe’s opening keynote address at the company’s second developer conference, ‘Connect’. Road to VR Executive Editor Ben Lang will be joining the TWiT team on the TWiT Live Specials broadcast to give you in-depth commentary throughout the live-streamed event.
Despite Oculus founder Palmer Luckey’s best efforts to quell rumours and regulate expectations, hopes are high for some significant and exciting developments from Brendan Iribe’s keynote address at the company’s 2nd developer conference tomorrow.

We know for sure that positional tracking for mobile VR headset Gear VR is bust (for now) and that the company won’t be starting pre-orders for Oculus’ first consumer VR headset, the Rift, thanks to Luckey’s clarifications. However, his assertions that “We will be announcing and co-announcing some really cool stuff,” has kept hopes for interesting, significant news high.
The Oculus Connect 2 keynotes will be live-streamed and this year, and TWiT.tv’s panel of tech pundits will live-commentate the presentation. Watch along with site founder Leo Laporte and TWiT presenters Mike Elgan and Jeff Grub as they analyse announcements as they happen. Also joining the TWiT crew as a special guest will be Road to VR Executive Editor Ben Lang, who’ll add informed and expert insight into the proceedings too.
We’ll update you with more details prior to the event itself tomorrow, but you can find details of TWiT tv’s live specials here.
Oculus Connect 2 begins today, and runs until Friday. Road to VR are reporting from the conference throughout.
