Calm down everyone, I have an older brother but I would never sell him for this HIGH TECH and FRICKIN AWESOME OCULUS RIFT.. well maybe?
JUST KIDDING…
Technology has come a long way in the past ten, twenty years.
From this:
to this –>
Anyway, Facebook has spent $2 Billion on Oculus VR, a company that makes virtual reality headsets. For many gamer like me, we would kill to have this tech where we can feel immersed in a virtual environment. Well, watch this video then you guys will understand why it blew my mind. You can wear this headset just like a pair of ski goggles, that simple! Also, they come with three sets of lenses to give everyone the perfect vision. As people say, “Its like glimpsing into the future!”

Oculus Rift is on the fore front of virtual reality. It is still in an early stage of development and is a very primitive form of experiencing virtual reality at the moment. When you think about it, its essentially just sticking a flat panel LCD screen really close to your face that also has head motion sensors. As of right now, it is definitely not completely immersive. At the moment you can only control camera movement or the “look”. In my opinion the Oculus Rift is a small first step to creating a fully immersive experience.
