Oculus Rift Release Date: Rift Still ‘On Target’ For Q1 Launch

Based on the latest trends and the steady march of new technology, the possible future of gaming, as we know it, could be through virtual reality. The trade group that puts on the show, the Consumer Electronics Association, says this is a 77 percent increase over what it saw in 2015.

It’s important to keep in mind that VR is really just getting started, and that there’s going to be growing pains as developers learn to leverage this new platform. We can actually feel like we’re there watching the movie together and guessing what’s going to happen.

The company has not publicly stated a release date for the headset, though it has said it will come in the first quarter of next year. This information comes from tweets by Palmer Luckey, the young inventor of the VR headset.

Although the device will be the first one to hit the markets next year, it is not the only viable choice when opting to dabble in the Virtual Reality spectrum of video games. This was admitted by Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey on Reddit, where he countered someone’s point about the company’s own influence on audio quality with the Rift.

The new year will bring the launch of Oculus Rift, the showcase every gamer has been waiting for. A series with more than a few similarities in play to someone who might be participating in a virtual reality (VR) environment and indeed at one stage in it’s life attempted development of a VR version. The game lets you fly around above Paris, taking on the perspective of an eagle.

Consumer Oculus Rift will have built-in DAC and headphone amp.

The matte black headset has two Oled displays, a wide field of view and a speaker over each ear; it will need to physically connect to a powerful computer, along with a separate sensor that tracks the user’s motions. More companies are expected to provide this feature as well.

Nokia expects to start selling Ozo, a nine-pound, mostly spherical video camera with a long protuberance on its back (for its special combined battery and recording cartridges), for $60,000 sometime in the first quarter.

He also promised that they will be launching pre-orders with enough “fair warning” so that those who want to buy will not be worrying about not being able to get on the pre-order list immediately. It is expected to be available within the same time frame.
