• Resumen

  • Firth talks about virtual reality that has turned into a global phenomenon. Oculus Rift has a headset that is poised to single-handedly resurrect virtual reality, a technology that seemed to have fallen by the wayside years ago. The device itself provides two separate images, one for each eye, that together give the wearer a 110-degree field of view that fills their peripheral vision. Coupled with a head-tracking sensor and a high frame rate that prevents the image "dragging" as people whip their head around, they can really get the feeling of immersion.
