Flush with cash, Oculus plans ambitious new VR headset
“What Marc Andreessen and Chris Dixon saw was what Oculus plans to unveil at CES this year: a prototype version of the Oculus Rift headset that the company claims will no longer make people sick when they use it. It’s higher resolution, lower latency, and effectively eliminates the motion blur of the original $300 dev kit that went on sale last year. And importantly, it now incorporates full positional motion tracking so the headset actually knows where your head is located.”
1 – I can’t wait to see this.
2 – It says something about the state of expectations for virtual reality when it’s notable that the latest headset version “will no longer make people sick when they use it”.
3 – I’ve heard a complaint that users previously unintentionally ended up some distance from where they started, so the head location will be great.
