The 3D Virtual Reality Gaming kit "Oculus Rift"




The Oculus Rift is a virtual reality head-mounted display which is developed by Oculus VR. For the feature of Oculus Rift, they got 2 version of headset, Developer Version and Consumer Version.
Rift will have a 100-degree diagonal field of vision, which is generally found to be much broader traditional headphone VR. It is very important because it will offset the "tunnel vision" effect, it always happen in the old VR products, it gives more immersive gaming experience than the old vision one.
Oculus VR is trying to build up the teleology to support the first person shooter genre of games. The best way to show the entire feature that oculus rift has is supporting the first person shooters. These companies give a big platform to Oculus to develop their product such as Valve. Valve is giving a big platform to Oculus to develop their product quickly to support their games, such as Half Life, Left 4 Dead and Counterstrike.


They got a Development kit which is available to purchase by developer, the feature of developer kit is limited, we cannot even watch movies surfing the web and programming with the development kit but it is the start of the Oculus Rift. In the future Oculus will issue a Consumer version (Oculus Rift 2.0), which is aiming at the general market and feature improved components. It will be improved the tracking and the supporting of resolution. Also it had wireless operation, it will be a very attractive feature for customer to purchase the consumer version.


This is a video review of Oculus Rift which supporting 1080p HD, it gives a good game experience to gamer who play these game with a Oculus Rift. As they said they are trying to improve the person tracking as much as possible.
