The folks at Oculus have been previewing their new virtual reality headset at Gamescom this week, much to delight of the press and fans. The demo game was Doom 3: BFG Edition, and it seemed to make quite an impression. While the Oculus Rift device they were showing off is a prototype, it also looks to be the real deal for virtual reality performance. Check out this article for a video about a hands on experience with the Oculus Rift. CVG has the story.
Oh yes. This thing is very cool, and every interview and report makes it look even better. While the Oculus Rift isn’t expected to hit shelves any time soon, and the amount of press and money that’s been thrown at this thing is amazing. I can’t wait to try out the end product for myself.
At least these devices are getting lighter and more technically sound. The age of the interface, however, is showing.
