== History ==
At Oculus Connect 3 in 2016, [[Mark Zuckerberg]] revealed that Oculus was working on a standalone version of the Oculus Rift code-named Santa Cruz.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://uploadvr.com/hands-santa-cruz-inside-out/|title=Hands-on With 'Santa Cruz' Inside Out Position Tracking Oculus Prototype|date=2016-10-06|website=UploadVR|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-02}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.roadtovr.com/hands-on-oculus-wireless-santa-cruz-prototype-makes-standalone-room-scale-tracking-a-reality/|title=Hands-on: Oculus' Wireless 'Santa Cruz' Prototype Makes Standalone Room-scale Tracking a Reality|last=Lang|first=Ben|date=2016-10-06|website=Road to VR|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-02}}</ref>

The following year at [https://www.oculusconnect.com/ Oculus Connect] 4, Oculus said that they are aiming at sending out developer kits in 2018. They also revealed the accompanying controllers which would be similar to Oculus Rift's touch controllers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.roadtovr.com/oculus-connect-4-day-1-roundup-oculus-go-rift-price-drop-new-santa-cruz-prototype-rift-core-2-0-ui-overhaul-new-games/|title=Oculus Connect 4 Day 1 Roundup: Oculus Go, Rift Price Drop, New ‘Santa Cruz’ Prototype, and More|last=Brennan|first=Dominic|date=2017-10-12|website=Road to VR|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-02}}</ref>

In 2018, Oculus revealed at Connect 5 that the system will be priced at a total of $399 and that it's called the Oculus Quest. At F8 2019 it was said that Quest will ship on May 21, 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/2/17911662/oculus-connect-vr-virtual-reality-quest-headset|title=5 big questions after VR’s big week at Oculus Connect|last=Robertson|first=Adi|date=2018-10-02|website=The Verge|access-date=2019-06-02}}</ref>

Visual artifacts such as god rays are, although less prominent, still visible in scenes with high contrasts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.roadtovr.com/oculus-quest-review-the-first-great-standalone-vr-headset/|title=Oculus Quest Review – The First Great Standalone VR Headset|last=Lang|first=Ben|date=2019-05-21|website=Road to VR|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-02}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.roadtovr.com/oculus-quest-hands-specs-tech-details-oculus-connect-5/2/|title=Oculus Quest Hands-on and Tech Details|last=Lang|first=Ben|date=2018-09-27|website=Road to VR|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-02}}</ref> It does also feature physical [[Pupillary distance|IPD]] adjustment.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/05/21/how-to-setup-and-calibrate-your-oculus-quest-vr-kit|title=How to Set Up and Calibrate Your Oculus Quest VR Kit|last=Gordon|first=Whitson|date=2019-05-21|website=IGN|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-02}}</ref>

=== Oculus Insight ===
Oculus Quest features the same inside-out tracking system used in [[Oculus Rift S|Rift S]], named Oculus Insight. The system relies on the four wide-angled cameras located on each corner of the headset to track the headset spatially.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.engadget.com/2019/04/30/oculus-quest-review-wireless-vr/|title=Oculus Quest review: VR freedom comes at a cost|last=devindra|website=Engadget|language=en|access-date=2019-06-02}}</ref>

=== Software compatibility and Cross-play ===
Oculus launched the headset with over 50 titles consisting of a mix between new and previously known games.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wired.com/review/oculus-quest/|title=The Oculus Quest Finally Sets VR Free|website=WIRED|access-date=2019-06-02}}</ref> Among of which being [[Beat Saber]], [[VRChat]], [[Superhot VR]], [[Moss (video game)|Moss]] and [[Robo Recall]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://uploadvr.com/quest-50-launch-titles-list/|title=Here Are The 50+ Titles Launching For Oculus Quest On Day One|date=2019-04-30|website=UploadVR|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-02}}</ref> Some games such as [[Rec Room (video game)|Rec Room]] and [[VRChat]] allow for cross-platform multiplayer.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.roadtovr.com/rec-room-and-vrchat-oculus-quest-support-cross-platform-multiplayer/|title=Social VR Hits 'Rec Room' and 'VRChat' Coming to Oculus Quest|last=Lang|first=Ben|date=2019-03-28|website=Road to VR|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-02}}</ref>

=== Passthrough ===
Oculus Passthrough is a feature of Oculus Quest which allows the user to see the real world in black and white through the built-in cameras. This is primarily used as a safety feature; when a user exits their defined playing area, the display will fade from virtual reality to Passthrough.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.polygon.com/reviews/2019/4/30/18521409/oculus-quest-review-virtual-reality|title=The Oculus Quest is virtual reality’s next big leap forward|last=Kuchera|first=Ben|date=2019-04-30|website=Polygon|access-date=2019-06-02}}</ref>

'''''Drawing Hands''''' is a [[lithography|lithograph]] by the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] artist [[M. C. Escher]] first printed in January 1948. It depicts a sheet of paper out of which, from wrists that remain flat on the page, two hands rise, facing each other and in the [[paradox]]ical act of drawing one another into existence. Although Escher used paradoxes in his works often, this is one of the most obvious examples.

It is referenced in the book ''[[Gödel, Escher, Bach]]'', by [[Douglas Hofstadter]], who calls it an example of a [[strange loop]]. It is also used in [[Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs]] by [[Harold Abelson]] and [[Gerald Jay Sussman]] as an allegory for the [[eval]] and [[apply]] functions of programming language interpreters in [[computer science]], which feed each other.

==History==

===Formation and ''Something for Nothing'' (2007–2010)===

On September 2, 2010, the band released their first official single "In Friends We Trust", along with an accompanying music video. On November 1, 2010, the band released their self-produced debut album ''[[Something for Nothing]]''.<ref name="Stencil-14"/>
