The Oculus Rift VR Headset: Our First Impressions
At E3 Expo, we had the opportunity to try out the Oculus Rift VR headset, and it was an incredible experience. While there were a few moments where we were a little disoriented, overall it was a good experience. The technology still needs some improvements before it’s ready for the consumer market, but it’s getting there.
Improvements Needed for the Consumer Market
One of the biggest challenges for VR technology is figuring out the best input devices. Right now, we’re using keyboards and gamepads, but VR input will likely require something more intuitive and limb-oriented. The goal is to get as close to the holodeck as possible, and we’re not there yet. But we’re getting closer.
The Future of VR Input Devices
The potential for VR input devices is huge, and we’re excited to see what comes next. It’s likely that future VR input devices will be more limb-oriented and intuitive, allowing users to interact with virtual environments in a more natural way.
The HD Version of the Oculus Rift: Worth the Wait
While the current version of the Oculus Rift is impressive, Oculus is working on an HD version that will be even better. They’re making some tweaks and improvements before releasing it to the public, and we think it’s worth waiting for. The HD version is a quantum leap over the development kit, and we can’t wait to see it in action.
Conclusion
Trying out the Oculus Rift VR headset at E3 Expo was an incredible experience. While there are still improvements needed before it’s ready for the consumer market, the potential for VR technology is huge. We’re excited to see what comes next, and we think the HD version of the Oculus Rift is definitely worth waiting for.
