Prototype of virtual reality headset doubles number of visible pixels
Oculus has revealed a new prototype for its virtual reality headset featuring 1080p HD resolution support.
The start-up said the prototype dev kit of the Oculus Rift demonstrated the full potential for high-definition VR.
The tech more than doubles the number of visible pixels through the headset, which the company said greatly reduced the “screen-door effect” seen in the normal development kit. The prototype also improved brightness, contrast and colour.
Despite supporting 1080p HD however, Oculus noted that the tech is not a product, and this is not necessarily the display that will be used in the final consumer release, but just a taste of what's to come.
“The 1080p prototype isn't a product - this isn't necessarily the display (or even the resolution) that we'll use for the consumer version - it's simply a taste of what's coming,” read a statement on the Oculus blog.
