What Is Oculus Rift
Oculus Rift is the virtual reality points that appeared on sale in 2013. The glasses are created by the U.S. military engineer Palmer Lucky and legendary John Carmac, founder of the id software (the manufacturer of the Wolfenstein, DOOM and Quake series).
History
Palmer Lucky, an engineer at the MxR Military Research Laboratory. There he was designing virtual reality points for U.S. Army needs. But Palmer wasn't interested in the military use of such technologies: he collected different types of technology. Virtual reality pointswas a moderator in MTBS forums (The most prominent forum on virtual reality).
It was in the MTBS forums that Palmer described his idea of creating points of virtual reality with a huge view of the review and a high head-response speed and affordable price. It turns out that John Carmac was the one in the same forums. He contacted Palmer and tried one of Oculus Rift's early prototypes. Having seen great potential in development, development has become fully supported.
Why is Oculus Rift so good?
- During the month following the development of the concept, the helmet collected $2.5 million on preliminary orders for Kickstarter.
- 3D side-by-side imagery system improves 3D
- Oculus Rift responds to the movement of your head (like military pilots)
- Largest angle of review (110 degrees versus 45 degrees nearest competitors)
- Head tracking at 1,000 times per second
- There is already a prototype that was shown at CES 2013 and E3 2012. On both exhibitions, he's got awards.
- Helmet really works. There's a huge amount of remorse about how many helmets are good.
- Lead producers of 3D games are already preparing their games for Oculus Rift.
- Helmet already works in games like Doom 4, Doom 3: BFG Edition, Team Fortress 2 and many others.
- The developers promise that the helmet will be available and that any 3D player can buy it.
