Palmer Luckey who is a passionate about gaming and all the stuff related to it has created something that he calls Oculus Rift.
The name does sound partly inspired from the movie Rift but the creation from Luckey is an immersive virtual reality headset that gives you an unmatched gaming experience. He claims it to be the best in the market with its wider field of view and extremely efficient head tracking.
It also produces high resolution images to make you feel like you’re actually part of the gaming environment. As a prototype, Oculus Rift sounds very promising and it has won the support of many industry experts already. On Kickstarter, it reached its $250,000 goal in just one day and still there are 28 days to go and already has 4587 backers as of the moment of writing.
The developer is wishing to involve more professionals so to make a consumer version the sooner it is possible. You can get the dev kit of Rift by this December if you have extra $300 to pay.
I have one concern with this headset only, is it really safe to wear such gadgetry in order to enhance the so called real time experience?
