From the time the Virtual Boy premiered by Nintendo in 1995 to glorious failure, the minds of gamers around the globe have been aching for something into the future along to show that true VR can be carried out. Begun being a Kickstarter campaign in 2012 by Palmer Luckey, the virtual reality game has since applied for legend. Though still undergoing development, having just released their Devkit2, media sources and people are already following a project all the way. If you take into account a lot of the issues that caused previous virtual reality dreams to keep exactly that, the Oculus has thus far been greeted having an impressively resounding sound of applause.
Current Design
Much just like video gaming undergo several stages of development, so to do technological wonders undergo phases of prototypes with each and every one (hopefully) improving on the prior model. Currently, the Oculus Rift has created its third notable design. Known as Crescent Bay, this current iteration increased many of its physical attributes. The head strap is currently manufactured from three parts which go around in addition to in the skull for the better, secure fit. Different color leaves, the merchandise has dropped plenty of weight, making hours of carrying around a slightly below 1 pound weight convenient.

Specs
As anyone who has ever tried older VR can advise you, it can make you sick. No matter how strong your stomach may be, all succumb to simulator sickness. By completely eliminating judder and motion blur by way of a low persistence OLED display, it has now almost completely eliminated such a complication. Additionally, to help make the gameplay considerably more interactive, the device requires one to generate a small camera that works well in sync with sensors located over the front and rear with the goggles. This amount of tracking helps make the planet completely viewable and interactive. Its internal latency tester enhances this if you take precision measurements of your physical movements to sync these visuals correctly. While the included "game" is an easy rail system, many testers found themselves spending a lot of time merely wanting around, reporting minor tearing that took them out of a normally solid experience.
Each eye comes with its HD screen with a 960 by 1080 resolution for each eye. The refresh rates are 75Hz, 72Hz, and 60 Hz even though the persistence is 2 ms, 3 ms and full. Tracking includes measurements taken by the gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer. In addition, the Oculus Rift has set itself up to be fully ready to help Unity 4, Unreal Development Kit and Unreal Engine 4 in order to create a market where VR games can be done quickly and easily.
