At a special event today, Oculus VR revealed the first consumer version of its Oculus Rift headset. The consumer model is "really lightweight," says Oculus. "You're going to put it on like a baseball cap." It's also said to "better accommodate glasses," which has been a problem for me.
The Rift features a custom display and optics—which Oculus has been working on for years—and a tracking sensor on a stand, which looks like the one that leaked the other day. We learned earlier that the Rift will include integrated headphones, but now we also know that they're removable, so you can also use your own headset.
New from Oculus: the Rift will come with a gamepad. But... not a new one. The Rift will be packaged with a wireless Xbox One controller. Well, OK.
Oculus' live event is still going, and we'll have more as the story develops.
