I work on that robot. There has never been a serious attempt to use an oculus to control it. Also, Daniel did not build any part of that robot and is trying to take credit for other people's work. The BBC refuses to contact the Robotics Institute at CMU or Astrobotic to verify any details in the story.

I was going to say that using an Oculus to move the robot on the moon would be a bad idea because of latency. Good to know that it's just shoddy reporting.

Will the feeds be available to consume with a Google Cardboard?

Calculate the bandwidth required to send two high definition streams from the moon. Add the bandwidth required for telemetry from the rover and lander. See what communication speeds are available to and from the moon.

Also, try using an oculus with seconds of latency and see how pleasant it is.

The real point is that Daniel Shafrir borrowed that robot and a video camera and proceeded to take credit for years of work by a team of students and staff at CMU and somehow got a BBC reporter to publish his claims without verifying any information.

That seems perilously close to academic fraud, although there's also the possibility that an ignorant reporter mistook speculative commentary for specific intentions.
