The Oculus rift is a virtual reality head-mounted display* that puts the wearer into a virtual reality. Where ever you move your head, it moves with you! When you lean forward, so does the picture. You're pretty much thrown into a virtual reality that moves with you! Where you look it looks! Imagine the horror games, all you can do is close your eyes. You'd be surprised by how real it looks. Imagine Minecaft, or even Skyrim; those would be insane! In the image in the top right (Jacksepticeye) it is a picture of what a roller coaster would look like!
The Oculus started out with Palmer Luckey testing out with head mounted displays. He wanted to make a headset that was better than all the others on the market but more inexpensive to buyers. The first game with Oculus Rift capability was Doom 3 (BFG Edition) in 2012. When the Oculus came out it was a hit! So many people bought it that Facebook got a liking into it. March 25, 2014 was the day Facebook bought Oculus for a whopping 400 million dollars in cash, 1.6 billion dollars in stock and an additional 300 million dollars for meeting special financial targets. That is an instant 2.3 BILLION dollars, let alone the future of the stock!
The only versions that have came out were the DK 1 and the DK 2. Oculus is coming out with the consumer version ( the other versions were developer versions )! An even better Oculus Rift, some say it will have the new 4k screen!!
If you are interested in purchasing one either click on or go to http://www.oculus.com/ but be forewarned it is at least 370$!
