Oculus VR announced:

The Oculus Rift builds on the presence, immersion, and comfort of the Crescent Bay prototype with an improved tracking system that supports both seated and standing experiences, as well as updated ergonomics for a more natural fit, and a highly refined industrial design“.

Oculus VR is set to announce more details on the Oculus Rift in the coming weeks. These details will include more info on the hardware, software, games and more.

It will be interesting to see if the Oculus Rift can help bring VR gaming to the mainstream. The video game industry has wanted to do “virtual reality” for years but the technology wasn’t good enough. 2016 will also see the release of Sony’s Project Morpheus headset too.
