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."
