VR competitors
Though the oculus rift was the first to be our heads are to be announced for the companies did not just sit back and allow the oculus rift to take over the market with Sony and Microsoft both throwing their hats into the ring with their own Vr headsets oculus rift is surely going to face some stiff opposition from these other companies.
Oculus rift:
Oculus rift started out as a projecton the website kickstarter asking many people to donate money to see the development of a virtual reality headset. The device instantly became a success on the site raising the $300,000 it needed to begin its production was the goal was met the developers created the DK1 set aka development Kit one and also for people who donated the money to the site of a certain are over there are also given a prototype of this headset. this was back in August 2012 since then the oculus has appeared at many different events showing updates different modifications and also new features included into the device. Most of the features have been only for the development kit and also the development kit number two this is really for the company to give the device out to content creators that they can develop for this device they have been non-official public releases of the device yet both recently atand Expo the creators of oculus wrist have confirmed they will bully be releasing a customer version of the device next to the general public.
Oculus riffs of main demographic would be PC players as the device would acquire specialist GPU technology from Nvidia and AMD only found within the new cards to support the dual screen technology within the device as most standard GP use do not have to do function with two dual monitors and device drivers may not be compatible with old GPU technology. With oculus is unique selling points of virtual reality while gaming and being mostly designed to be played with most mainstream games not requiring much movements from the player I think oculus wrist has gone past been a gimmick and more into a mainstream idea to improve the nation and experience within PC gaming and I think this is where oculus goes past all the gimmicks like the PlayStation Move or the connect from Microsoft and it may generally have a future within the industry as the go to the ER headsets.
Projects Morpheus:
Project Morpheus is Sony's chance to throw their hat into the ring of the VR game. Being announced in 2014 Project Morpheus has very little details released about compared to the oculus rift that has been no set release date for the Morpheus. with new details set to be released in 2015 on the Morpheus some speculate that will be a PlayStation dedicated the are set working for PlayStation for PlayStation three and even the PlayStation Vita allowing unique options for PlayStation users only.
Microsoft hollow lens:
with Microsoft announcing in January 2015 its PR headsets that hollow lens. the hollow lens offers to promise full integration into the new window 10 OS and also projective holograms onto the environments which the user is viewing. This headset boasts to be its own computer difference to project Morpheus and the oculus rifts this headset will work independently of being attached to a machine with its own CPU and GPU and even an new HPU which stands for holographic processing unit. this headset primarily will be focused as a way of bringing Windows 10 to a new perspective and a new audience it will not be primarily focused as a gaming utility. Microsoft are hoping to change the landscape in which users will interact with PCs with this product often with Microsoft products such as the kinnect by often promise and under deliver. as very little details are released about this headset is not much is known about the internal components or the level of detail of the screen.
