The Oculus Rift is coming. Dev Kit units are apparently in the hands
of those looking to make and modify software for use with the virtual
reality hardware. YouTube user Cymatic Bruce
has a series of Oculus Rift videos where he tests out the functionality
of the headset, and this latest breathes new life into the five-year
old title, Mirror’s Edge.
The video gives a look at the two
screens on the Oculus, but it likely does not do justice to the
sensation of actually wearing the headset.
The latest update for
those waiting on the Oculus Rift to arrive is that dev kits are in the
hands of game developers, as well as the Oculus Rift SDK. We’ll likely
be hearing more and more software announcements as developers spend more
time with the development kits.
Those looking to pre-order an Oculus Rift Development Kit can do so here, with units due to ship in June 2013.
