Boasting a diagonal field of view of 110 degrees and a 3D panoramic view (tech summary: it's all around you) it's designer Palmer Luckey boasts it's the first truly immersive virtual reality headset for video games but is the Oculus Rift any good?
Well people can find out for themselves by pleding $300 or more to get their grasping hands on a prototype version with a copy of Doom 3: BFG Edition
Computer and Video Games have full details and a cool article on the race for wearable computing including video of the Oculus Rift. Cool or crap? Based on the video I reckon it's looking pretty damn cool but exactly how realistic can we go with 3D shooters before we crap our pants when a heavily armed virtual bad guy or demon from another dimension pops up from behind a crate and blows our brains out?
