Oculus Rift - Virtual Reality Headset

Words cant describe the experience of a Rift and V.R. honestly. The level of immersion will blow you away time and time again. With racing games, every new car you sit in is almost like a new mini game with the level of detail and immersion. I dont get motion sick and you wont as long as you keep the frame rate above 80 which i do just fine in all games so far with a 6700k @ stock and a 780ti ghz edition. They also have tweaks and developer tool fixes to help smooth lower fps. Perfect for racing games and flying games, and more titles are adding VR support daily! Ark Survival Evolved has VR now! For non vr games and games with no vr support there is software that will let you play any game in vr just about some better than others of course. I would pay easily $1000 HONESTLY to have this experience. Its that good! Now on to the Rift vs Vive debate and why you want the Rift!I spent soo many months doing research comparing this and the Vive. Let me save you some time now and just buy an Oculus Rift. Here is why: The way that V.R. Lenses are built they have an optimal focal point or area that your eye needs to be inside in order for the image to not become blurry. This means you cant really move your eyes around too much and must have it seated on your face correctly. The Oculus Rift has a bigger area of optimal focal point than a Vive. This means less time correcting it on your face after you have pulled it off to find something or to take a break or drink etc. This sounds like no big deal but once you really think of how much you might be taking it off and putting it back on that translates to lost time and frustration.The controller on the rift is the best VR controller hands down. You can look at any review. Its soo good that Vive is actually making new controllers, and I feel its to be closer to the Rifts design.The rift does a good job of blocking out any light to keep you immersed. It does have a small gap for me in the nose bridge but its not noticeable when gaming and actual is nice because i can look through it to grab my mouse or controller instead of having to take it off and re adjust it again.The Rift is lighter. So light that I twitch stream and game for hours. I recently wore the rift for 6 hours straight. The Vive is notably heavier and pulls your head back from the wire placement and fact that the wires are heavier. It has a breathable design that helps cut down on your face getting too warm. It will cause u to get a little warm in the brow overtime due to the powered lenses and pure fact that you have something on your face but nothing worth really even mentioning.The built in headphones are actually really good for what they are. They will not beat a 150$ gaming headset but it easily gives headsets in the 50$ range or so a run for their money, and they are built in so no extra wire running from you to the pc!Steam and all VR games work including most Vive games if not all to my knowledge. Vr games list is growing by the day. Check out the Oculus store for a few like Super Hot, and search VR on steam to see what is supported. You will be very surprised.If you are on the fence about VR or you have heard the quality is not there yet etc, do yourself a favor and buy it now. You will not be disappointed. Its still new enough to where I would say its not for every person out there and the more of a techie you are the more you will get out of it for sure. That said in my 25 plus years gaming this is the highlight and Im just so happy I am here to be a part of this!Also I made my own Oculus Rift sensor mount to give me more space on my desk as well as set it further back to increase my play area. The pic is included and the list to all the products I used are included as well.

I researched the Vive, PS4 VR and Oculus Rift w/ Touch controllers for about a month reading idk how many articles and reviews and found that for one...they all cost the same if you don't already have the PS4 so no matter you will spend about $800 plus tax on any for the full system. The Oculus Touch controllers had the highest review as did the Oculus headset. It seemed the ONLY reason ppl said the PS4 VR was cheaper was cause a lot of ppl had it already so they didnt factor in the cost of when they had to buy one. The only reason the HTC Vive seemed to get better reviews was due to already having the controllers out w/ their set. SO for me it was a no brainer the Oculus had a better quality, comfortable, nicer looking headset and less cords/easier set-up. The controllers, which are out now, where said to be more fluid, comfortable and less "clunky" that the Vive's. None of them are wireless, though I did read the Vive is coming out w/ a limited number of an attachment to make their headset wireless but at another $200, which brings there total to $1000 if you get that.I love my Oculus headset and now that the touch controllers are out everything on Steam that was only for the Vive is available for the Oculus! I was hoping that would happen and it did! There are still some titles you can only find on the Oculus store though and I haven't seen prices SO FAR that are cheaper on Steam than on Oculus, so that is good. There are a lot of free things apps, some good cheap ones and then games in the $30-50 range per the norm. There is also a program you can buy called vorpX that will allow you to play older games as well like ESO; they have a list of games and there are youtube videos that show you how to set it up. The home screen is relaxing and easy to navigate and you can customize your avatar. The games are fun and visually appealing. There are even virtual "chat rooms" and gaming you can do w/ other ppl and talk to them through a built in mic.I will say the clarity wasn't HD like I had hoped..maybe I am too spoiled on HDX, blu-ray and 3D quality but once in games you don't notice it and become immersed in what your doing. It was like going from HDX back to DVDs, but It is still amazing to say the least even the short "movie" experiences you have on the Rift are great. The set up was super easy and took all of like 10 mins tbh.Overall I would have to say I am very happy w/ my purchase and that I didnt buy a different VR system. Also, knowing that they are partnered w/ Xbox and Microsoft officially now tells me there is a bright future for the Oculus Rift not just in gaming but in useful apps that can help w/ work or study. FYI they already have VR medical A&P and an art app that you can actually use w/ your 3D printer and other stuff of that nature. OH and before I forget...yes you probably would want a high end PC to run it BUT they has recently done an update that will allow for some lesser spec'd PC to use the Rift.[...]For those who will ask if their PC will run it there is a"pc checker" on their website that will let you know.FYI I was surprised there is NOT a customer support number if you need it, you have to email or use forums to get in touch w/ them which could be very annoying if you can't solve an issue you have w/ the store or equipment yourself or through past forums.Oh Also I haven't had any issues getting sick or nauseous from the games I have either.
