Early concept of Oculus Rift developer kit. Actual product will look different.
Want in on the cutting edge of virtual reality for video games? Then get yourself an Oculus Rift headset.
According to ign.com 'it's the right mix of technology and design that's going to make a decades-long dream of tech companies around the world actually work.'
The technology innovations of a Southern California start-up called Oculus VR who believe that they've produced the gamer's dream come true, have produced an oversized headset that allows the gamer to see 3 dimensional images when playing a video game. Moving the head to the left, right or back gives the gamer a complete 360degree dimensional view of the virtual world he/she has stepped into. Now you can not only walk straight up to the warrior in the game, you can also stop to see what lurks behind corners and go exploring. Entering a whole new world just got that much easier and believable with this truly immersive virtual reality headset.
nytimes.com states that many of the crucial parts in the Oculus Rift are the same parts found inside smartphones and tablets, including the headset's 7-inch display and its sensors for detecting head movements.
The aim of the 3D gaming device is to produce an incredible wide field view, high resolution picture with a low latency head tracking at an affordable price point so that it can be enjoyed by the masses and not just an elite few with a $20,000+ price point.
In the early stages of development last year the headset received a nomination at the 2012 Game Critics Awards.
Joshua Topolsky of The Verge appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Mar 4th 2013 to let the host try the new gadget and he seemed impressed. According to The Verge the Oculus Rift uses two lenses in the head-mounted display that combines to form a 1280 x 800 display. A break-out control box is used to plug the Rift into your computer which features DVI, HDMI, micro-USB and power.
