It's the ability of VR headsets to fool your mind and body into thinking that you are actually in a virtual world, and that experience is what Oculus seeks to deliver with its latest prototype. Code-named Crescent Bay (http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/20/oculus-rift-crescent-bay/), it's an evolution of the DK2 headset (http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/23/oculus-rift-dk2-virtual-reality-now-shipping/) that only recently started making its way into the hands of developers. I got to try out the new hardware today at Oculus Connect, the company's inaugural developer conference. Come live vicariously through me, dear reader, as I tell you how it went.
