Why You Can Trust CNET The Oculus Rift comes to GDC 2014 with a new demo, upgraded design (pictures)
The latest version of the Oculus Rift is a bit more consumer friendly, but still not ready for gamers.
The rift
The Oculus Rift is still in its gestation stage, so it's not yet ready for consumers. Developers interested in making software for it can now purchase the software development kit for $349.
Put it on
Already the Rift is easy to put on and feels relatively comfortable when worn. Things can get warm -- and sweaty -- behind the goggle however.
New movements
The latest version of the Rift tracks forward, back, and lateral movement.
Features
The latest Oculus Rift model includes a USB port and power button.
For devs
The Oculus Rift is only available for people who will actually be making games for it.
No games
There are no complete actual games available for the Rift. However, there are plenty of tech demos to play around with.
