What is Oculus Rift ?
The Oculus Rift is a virtual reality head-mounted display headset. It was initially proposed in a Kickstarter campaign,
during which Oculus VR (at the time an independent company) raised US$2.5
million for the development of the product.
The Rift is scheduled for release on March 28, 2016, making
it one of the first consumer-targeted virtual reality headsets. Oculus has
described it as "the first really professional PC-based VR headset".
It has a resolution of 1080×1200 per eye, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and a wide
field of view. It has integrated headphones which provide a 3D audio effect.
The Rift has rotational and positional tracking. The positional tracking is
performed by a USB stationary IR sensor, which normally sits on the user's
desk, allowing for using the Rift while sitting, standing, or walking around
the same room.
