Oculus Rift finally gets consumer version and actual release date

The company said the new version will “build on the presence, immersion, and comfort of the Crescent Bay prototype,” with an improved tracking system that supports seated and standing experiences. If the accompanying vendor-supplied photos are anything to go by, it will also look considerably cooler than before, and perhaps be more comfortable to wear and use as well.
Crescent Bay brought a lot to the table last time, including a lower-latency display, 360-degree head tracking with more LED markers, integrated headphones with RealSpace 3D audio support, and a lower hardware weight. As for this new version, the company says to look for announcements “in the weeks ahead” — which we presume has something to do with E3 — for specifics on the hardware, software, input, and “many of our unannounced made-for-VR games and experiences,” the latter of which certainly has our interest peaked. And if you’re a developer, you probably know this already, but there’s info on how to get started with the Oculus Rift dev kit over in the company’s Development Center.

Last week, Microsoft demonstrated a new HoloLens prototype at its Build conference. Unlike the Oculus Rift and others of its ilk, which create full-blown 3D areas you can explore and move around in, the HoloLens focuses on augmenting reality, generating holographic overlays over existing structures and objects in the real world. It’s an entirely different experience, and one that’s less prone to motion sickness in some people than the Oculus Rift is.
Clearly, the world of virtual reality is picking up steam, but the question still remains whether consumers want it. Thanks to Oculus VR’s announcement, we may finally find out in less than a year.extremetech
