If you have been patiently waiting for the arrival
of the new Oculus Rift S VR headset, you will be pleased to know that preorders
are now open from US$ 399 with shipping expected to take place on May 21st, 2019.
Although the new Valve Index VR headset officially launched today and also
available to preorder from US$ 499 may be a better option.
The new Oculus Rift S VR headset is equipped with
two 1280 x 1440 pixel displays offering a combined resolution of 2560 x 1440
pixels. Other features include 5 built-in cameras for room-scale position
tracking, as well as improvements to the headsets design to prevent light
ingress and offer more comfortable weight distribution. Oculus Insight offers
players new technology that can track movements into VR, no matter which way
you’re facing, without the need for external sensors. Unfortunately though
Facebook has replaced the 90 Hz OLED display of the original with an LCD screen
offering an 80 Hz refresh rate.
