How to watch the Oculus Connect 2 keynote and press conference

Oculus will be detailing the plans for the future of VR and the upcoming VR headsets September 24 at their Oculus Connect 2 event. We detail how you can watch all the keynote presentations, and witness what the future may hold for this new tech.

Gamers, tech aficionados, VR evangelists, and many others are sitting on the edge of their seats awaiting Oculus’ September 24 keynote presentations at the Dolby Theatre, ready to learn what we can expect from the future of this much anticipated new form of interactive technology. Whether you’re a VR convert or just curious, tomorrow is sure to bring some interesting news. But unless you’re attending this week’s Oculus Connect 2 event, you may be wondering how you can catch these keynotes.

Appropriately, one of the ways is by using CONVRGE, a VR program that allows users to hangout in virtual spaces, and “attend” events in person. The keynotes will be available through CONVRGE, so you can be at the event in person, from the comfort of your home – as long as you own a VR headset, that is. You can download the software from the CONVRGE website.

Fortunately, if you’re without a VR headset, there is more traditional way of watching the keynotes. The firm’s Twitch.tv channel will be livestreaming the keynotes, which we’ve embedded below for easy access. In addition, we’ve also given an easy rundown of the conference schedule. This schedule is also available on the Oculus Connect 2 website, and via smartphone apps for iOS and Android devices.

Oculus has promised to deliver three separate presentations that will cover numerous aspects of its VR technology, and future plans.

Apple just launched a new entry-level configuration of the 14-inch MacBook Pro.

Apple just announced a refreshed version of its colorful desktop computer.

Opera wants to move routine AI work out of distant data centers and onto the computer already sitting on your desk. Its new WebAI preview lets websites and browser extensions use local models inside Opera One without requiring another AI subscription or sending the information they handle to a cloud service.

WebAI also opens local AI to third-party developers instead of reserving it for Opera’s own features. Your laptop supplies the computing power, provided it has enough to spare.
