The cash injection will certainly help avoid such a fate. Brendan Iribe, Oculus's chief executive, says that his firm is focused on producing a Rift “as close to a consumer product as possible.” A high-definition version for personal-computers, a prototype of which was shown at E3, a video game exhibition, will
reach gamers in months, he says.
sure if we read word GAMERS.
Why for Gamers
1) GAMERS have little above comman knowhow of setting and tweking their
gadgates for optimum output
2) GAMERS don Easily give up on hardware they try to search work around in
their investment if they see potantial and possiblity(we have people working
on FrankenRIFt yet not cursing original DEVKIT)
3) Though gamers are adrenaline thirsty they have pations like SNIPER for
their target.
Why i think E3 prototype is viable candidate for Beta Consumer Rift (Semi Consumer Version LOL
)
1) It has some what addressed MAJOR LIMITATIOn the SCREEN DOOR EFFECT
and i think there are only 2 major observation by every one who tried RIFT
A) Screen Door B) Blur.Where many pointed out Source of BLUR is partly
in SDK Codes and partly becouse of limitation of Display
i have feeling may be they found a solution for it atleast to make it bare
minimum may be new display might do things better too.
2) Head Traker is Absoultly FLawless and only thing needed was Postional
Tracking for which Sixense has come up with wireless Candidate
(I doubt may be Sixense has wires some where linking to Oculs BTW.)
3) Every one who has used rift have praised it first.hype built around it may
fad in time if they don utilized momentum.
They can very well make clear that its "BITA" still i think it will set records of salse as you can say its just Evolution.
only thing they should keep in mind is KEEP IT UPGRADEBLE so people don regret their purchase if SUPER HD 2560X1440 Screen rift is going to come out in just next 6 Month of BITA as DISPLAY IS MAJOR CONCIRN 1 for VR you can offer screen upgrade at less price all will be happy unless its again going 5" to 7" which in case not possible for screen change
I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED KICK STARTER LOOK OF RIFT iT was SLEEK And FUTURISTIC its nice to see RIFT getting 7 to 5
