Best Device- Virtual Reality

One cool thing at the CES show this year was the Oculus Rift prototype.

Here is more information about it:






The company was founded by Plamer Kuckey and Scaleform co-founders Brendan Iribe and Michael Antonov.  The Oculus Rift is being developed by Oculus VR, which raised $2.4 million with their Kickstarter.

Convergence: With their Kickstarter anyone who pledged $300 or more was rewarded with the developers kit.  Pledges over $275 would get an un-assembled Rift prototype.  The consumer version of the product is expected it be available in late 2014 or early 2015. The developer kit costs $300 and has a resolution of 1280 x 800.  When the consumer version comes out it will be under $300 and will have a resolution of 1920 x 1080 with a 7 inch screen.

Consumerism: It is a head mounted display for gamers.   The product is aimed at hardcore video game players.  It has better resolution than the previous model.  It can be hooked up with a HDMI and USB cable, so you can use it with your PC, console or even your smartphone.

Interactivity: The new Oculus is very accurate at tracking your head movements. The new motion tracking system allows for actions such as crouching or learning, which helps to alleviate motion sickness.
