On: It’s Game Time: Oculus Quest and Rift S Now Available

[iamcreasy]

I am a student researcher at a US university and I asked(including the research proposal) if they have any special pricing for us. Every time I asked - I was told that my application was under review, but I never heard any verdict. We finally finished our project without actually testing it on a headset. Here is the paper we've published: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8500085

If anybody for Oculus is here, can you please tell me what is the proper was of requesting research hardware?

I'm not from Oculus but I'd expect that you have to give them money.

I was not asking for free hardware, I was asking if they have any pricing for academic researchers since it was not mentioned on the website.

Seems like a safe bet the answer is "no"

[iamcreasy → noobiemcfoob]

Yes, I thought so too. But they kept saying that they are reviewing our application. Never gave us any concrete answer.

Even Facebook employees don't have a special pricing.

There is a hardware request from for developers on the website.
