Oculus Rift to offer stereoscopic 3d experience
A new virtual reality headset for gaming is being taken to Kickstarter in an effort to raise $250,000 in funding for the project.
Created by Oculus, the Rift headset has been designed to produce a stereoscopic 3D experience, and claims to overcome various resolution and latency problems that have previously affected the technology.
As part of the Kickstarter, contributors will receive early development kits that include access to the Oculus Developer Centre, a community for users, and the Oculus Rift SDK that will provide code, samples and documentation.
The headset and SDK will be compatible with PCs and mobile, and the technology can be integrated into new or existing titles.
The company has said it will also be compatible with consoles in future.
