| Finally, it is almost ready  $599 for pre-order is a bit too much for me though. Maybe I'll wait till a few weeks after release.  https://www.oculus.com/en-us/rift/  | |

| Price for the Oculus turned out pretty ridicilous at about 730E. (european price) Fortunately there will be plenty of alternatives, like this one: http://www.digitaltrends.com/virtual-reality/osvr-hacker-dev-kit-hands-on/ - Quote :
- The OSVR has one particular that has me especially excited. VR headsets often suffer from the screen-door effect, meaning you can see a grid of lines between individual pixels. It’s caused by the fact that the screen is just an inch or two from your face. The OSVR HDK solves it by using screen-level diffusion and refined optics. The result is a clear picture, snappy response times, and no screen door to speak of.
That’s all despite the fact that the HDK’s resolution is just 960 x 1,080 per eye, as opposed to the Rift’s 1,080 x 1,200 per eye. The 120Hz refresh rate of the HDK screen makes a more noticeable difference in the clarity and responsiveness of the display, allowing for an experience that’s even smoother and more responsive than the Rift. In fact, having used the Rift in its final form a few times, I’m not afraid to say I enjoyed the OSVR experience more. The HDK looks less like virtual reality, and more like real life. That’s the goal after all, isn’t it?  | |
