Rejoice fans of the Virtual Reality, Oculus announced the release date of the first Rift consumer version on their blog. Q1 2016 will see the next big evolution of gaming, kinda, sorta, maybe, hopefully, probably not right away, and pre-orders will start later this year
Oculus mentions an improved tracking system and that the release version builds of the Crescent Bay prototype. No words yet on price or specs, but they promises to reveal at least the later and more in the weeks ahead.
They also tease a big showing during E3, so if you can’t wait for the next step in immersion, book your ticket to LA soon, because E3 is just around the corner and with the console war losing traction, it’s now time for the VR Wars. Remember, it’s not only the Oculus Rift that is vying for a place on your head, but also the Playstation 4 compatible Sony Morpheus, HTC Vive which gets developed in conjunction with Valve and got some great early reviews, the open source Razer OSVR, and around 5 trillion other options.
You might have already gathered this from the tone in this post, but I’m highly stoked and really looking forward to this. Anyone with me?
