Oculus Rift Retail Box: A Closer Look

Oculus announced specs and features of oculus rift VR headset at GDC. They also announced that ut wull be packed and shipped in the same casing as of development kit (DK1). The packing itself is premium and looks like worth of $600. But user are not getting DK1’s protective box. The box is big. It’s bigger than both D.Ks. Final design of tracking devices was not finalised in previous prototypes so boxes were small. Here everything is ready for shipment and it also uses a USB 3.0 connection to work so surely box will be big. It’s just cardboard. Premium look is achieved by profiling it with metal and solid rope. DK1 had premium plastic. Rift uses a minimum of five textures on plastic used. It gives an unexplainable weird feeling. Same applies to Xbox one controller.

HTC Vive ‘The Lab’: A Spectacular Playground Full Of Virtual Reality Toys

A passionate Tech geek goes hands on with Valve’s most recent virtual reality encounter, an accumulation of investigations in immersive gaming popularly denoted as ‘The Lab’. In the first open appearing of the Lab, we got an opportunity to hop into 4 unique regions. The first was what Valve is calling a “postcard” – a wonderfully rendered photogrammetry caught a scene of genuine mountain, Vesper Peak. I was transported to the crest and welcomed by a kind of smooth robot canine that needed to play bring with various sticks scattered around. Teleporting with my left controller, I investigated the top, which as a result of the photogrammetry was a 1:1 involvement regarding authenticity. Before long I needed to say goodbye to my robot puppy (he needed to continue playing and having his robot-tummy rubbed) and destroyed to a demo called Slingshot.
