Oculus Rift update

Gamers already benefit from the great design and graphical capacities of current console and PC games, but Oculus Rift might be the device that finally brings players right into the middle of the action. We can only imagine how this new technology will be incorporated into the games we already know so well. 

This year since has provided an opportunity for the headset to stretch its wings a  bit a number of high-profile games have launched on the hardware and it's finally received motion controllers in the form of Oculus Touch, which it lacked when it was first launched and essential for users. It's price has dropped by $100 per set, which showed friendliness to its users. I believe it will earn its place in history soon.

The revolutionary technology that will disrupt gaming industry

The Oculus Rift is a virtual reality headset developed and manufactured by Oculus VR, a FB division. It is a set of virtual-reality goggles that will work with your gaming desktop, and it was invented by by a VR enthusiast named Palmer Luckey back in 2011. So how does this thing work? The Rift accomplishes the sense of transportation by using a pair of screens that displays two images side by side, one for each eye. A set of lenses is placed on top of the panels, focusing and reshaping the picture for each eye, and creating a stereoscopic 3D image. The goggles have embedded sensors that monitor the wearer's head motions and adjust the image accordingly.

This technology is generally positively applauded by a lot of users, but its hefty price and requirement for high standard PC and software to achieve its effect prove that it still has a long distance to go before the reality comes true. But I agree with what WSJ said:" It give us glimpse of the future of computing."
