At a special event today, Oculus VR revealed the
first consumer version of its Oculus Rift headset. The consumer model is
"really lightweight," says Oculus. "You're going to put it on
like a baseball cap." It's also said to "better accommodate
glasses," which has been a problem for me when trying the prototypes.
The Rift features a custom display and optics—which
Oculus has been working on for years—and a tracking sensor on a stand, which
looks like the one that leaked the other day. We learned earlier that the Rift
will include integrated headphones, but now we also know that they're
removable, so you can also use your own headset.
Oculus also announced that the Rift will ship with a wireless Xbox One controller. Later,
founder Palmer Luckey took the stage to announce Oculus' own controller, Oculus Touch. We've since learned that Touch is coming in
the first half of 2016, shortly after the Oculus Rift is available, and will be
sold separately.
The plan is still to launch the Rift early next
year, and no price was announced at the event—Luckey might be saving that one
for E3. Check out some official product shots below:
