Post by: Snowcrash on June 30, 2013, 17:40:40 PM
Finally VR is almost upon us. Since the Virtuality games of 20 years ago, no one has really come up with a decent head set.

Oculus Rift now have a 2x 1080 screen head set. Their website. (http://www.oculusvr.com/)

Looks like they're showcasing their consumer version in E3 next week. Should be available to buy later this year.

And a vid to see what's happening.
