Oculus Rift - Hands on review

Показать описание
On the first day of August, 2012, Oculus launched its Kickstarter. In doing so it started not one, but two revolutions. The project’s massive success proved people wanted to give virtual reality another shot, and showed Kickstarter can lift the fortunes of not just an entire company, but an entire category of products. The 2.4 million dollars raised by Oculus seems paltry compared to more recent crowd-funded projects, but it put the company on sound footing, and led to its acquisition by Facebook for a cool two billion.
Oculus needed the backing. Its Kickstarter was launched almost four years ago. That’s a long time for a product to be in development, and in that time Oculus launched several developer kits. Now, the final, retail edition is here, and anyone can buy it – as long as you have $600 and you’re willing to wait a few months.
But the Rift’s long development has given the competition a chance to strike. HTC’s Vive is now available, and there’s a number of less expensive headsets based on mobile hardware, including the Samsung Gear VR, built in partnership with Oculus. Has the Rift’s development resulted in a well-thought out headset? Or have the delays shot it past its time to shine?’

I've been watching all of the VR coverage I can find and this is the first time I've heard anybody say that the Vive is more comfortable to wear than the Rift. Looks like, from what I saw throughout the video, that you're wearing it wrong.

You're the first review I've seen of dozens to say that the Vive is more comfortable to wear than the rift. Makes me think that this review was bought.

It doesn't look like you have it on correctly. The rear support triangle should be further down the back of your skull. Thus the discomfort.

One of the worst reviews I've seen concerning the rift. The "versus" Tested released between it and the Vive was head and shoulders above anything, a must watch for people that are interested (is it "vibe"? I keep confusing the name sorry)
