a new social experience in VR, Facebook is benefiting from the conference Oculus Connect in order to give more details about its virtual reality helmet Oculus VR. In the program : the officalisation of the controller, the presentation of a solution to room scaling, and a configuration more affordable to be able to take advantage of the virtual reality.
Before talking about the devices around the headset, the president of Oculus VR, Brendan Iribe, to announced a reduction of the required specifications to take advantage of the Oculus. If it was previously recommended to have a configuration with 1 000$ to be able to take full advantage of the virtual reality helmet, it is now a question a configuration for about$ 500 .
This reduction of the configuration necessary is due to the use of new software techniques, designated under the name of’aysynchronous spacewarp to do not calculate that 45 frames per second by the processor and the graphics card of the PC , while displaying 90 frames per second required in the helmet, in order to minimise the unpleasant effect of sea-sickness (or ” motion sickness “).
controllers, Oculus Touch
After having been postponed once, and then two, it seems that this time is the right one for the controllers of the Oculus Rift, the Touch will be made available to the international from the December 6, for$ 199 .
A system of room scaling to compete with the Bright
Announced at the same time as the release date of the Touch, a 3rd camera will be offered for$ 79 in order to allow the room scaling as for the HTC Vivid. The objective is to be able to delineate a physical space at home that will be taken into account in the virtual reality experience offered to the inside of the helmet. Practice to avoid banging against the walls.
headphones made in Oculus
In the family, Oculus, we also request the in-ear headphones, which will be sold for$ 49 in addition to the supra-aural headphone that comes in the packaging of the base of the Oculus Rift. This brings us, therefore, at a total cost of almost 1, 500 dollars. in comparison, the HTC Vivid is offered for 799 dollars which it is necessary to add the price of the PC and a pair of headphones.
