Oculus Rift is going to cost over 3000 kroner – ITavisen.no

– Is much more advanced than the prototypes.

Oculus Rift launched in the first quarter next year.

More than $ 350
we have been familiar with since last spring, but what with price? It is not set in stone, but over $ 350 is likely according Oculus-founder Palmer Luckey. There he revealed yesterday to the website Road to VR.

“I’ll be quite honest with you: The price will be around that figure, but will be somewhat higher. The reason is that we have implemented lots of technology in Rift, more than what is found in prototypes DK1 and DK2, “defends Luckey with.

Do not praise to the bottom
“It’s not about making more money, the fact is, when you create something like this, one must opt ​​out of a lot; we will optimize for absolute lowest price, although the quality of the experience lir worse?

Or should we, since this is the first VR headset in the consumer market, creating something that gives the absolute best experience without compromise? Reduce costs as much as possible, but be sure that Rift is so good that everyone wants to use the product, “explains Luckey.

Luckey explains that Rift uses specially-designed Samsung lenses. Also tracking system is custom-made, which of course raises the price.
