It takes the existing HD headset we saw at E3 2013 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/11/oculus-rift-hd-prototype-vr-headset-hands/) and swaps an LED screen for OLED. It adds an external camera, and positional markers on the headset, to track your position depth-wise. Perhaps most importantly, it kills motion blur -- one of the biggest issues with previous versions of Oculus VR's incredible Rift headset.
The latest prototype, dubbed "Crystal Cove," is here at CES 2014 (http://www.engadget.com/ces2014), and we've just gotten out of an EVE Valkyrie (http://www.engadget.com/tag/evevalkyrie/) cockpit to tell you all about how much of an improvement this new guy is over the previous model.
