Oculus Rift S Revealed, New VR Headset With Built-In Sensors For $400
(GameSpot Xbox 360 News)
 


Oculus has revealed its next PC-based VR headset called the Rift S as part of GDC 2019. The most notable improvement is the inclusion of built-in sensors for inside-out tracking; this means you no longer need to set up external sensors if you use a Rift S. Additional details on Oculus Quest have also been announced as well, which is the company`s upcoming standalone headset.The built-in sensors make up what`s called Oculus Insight and it`s capable of free-roaming room scale VR gaming.

Oculus states that the headset`s resolution is 1600x1440 per eye on an OLED display with an overall refresh rate of 72 Hz.Oculus Quest (left), Oculus Rift S (right)Other notable improvements that come with the Oculus Rift S is the head strap.

The Quest`s game library will differ due to the lower specs of the standalone headset; however, all Quest games will be playable on the Rift. More than 50 games will be available for Quest on launch day.The Rift S and Que ...
