![]() Audio Īs opposed to earphones attached to the strap as on the CV1, built-in audio on the Rift S used speakers embedded in the headset itself, positioned slightly above the user's ears. The headset featured software-only inter pupillary distance (IPD) adjustment, because it used a single screen instead of dual displays. The field of view was 115º, compared to 110º on the Rift CV1. Īlso, compared to the original Rift, the Rift S used "next generation" lens technology, introduced in the Oculus Go, which almost entirely eliminated god rays. Rift S used a single fast-switch LCD panel with a resolution of 2560×1440 and an 80 Hz refresh rate, down from the CV1's 90 Hz. ![]() Iribe was said to be overseeing the development of the second generation Oculus Rift, which was canceled the week prior to his departure. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Oculus parent company Facebook, Inc., repeatedly stated that Oculus' goal is to bring a billion users into VR. In October 2018, Oculus VR co-founder and former CEO until 2016 Brendan Iribe left Oculus VR, allegedly due to both parts having "fundamentally different views on the future of Oculus that grew deeper over time." Iribe wanted to deliver comfortable VR experience competitive on the high-end market while Oculus leadership aimed to lower the VR gaming entry barrier. The headset would feature higher resolution screen and inside-out tracking and would enable room scale experiences. In June 2015, Oculus VR co-founder Palmer Luckey revealed that Oculus was already working on a successor to the original Rift and planned to release it in around 2–3 years from the original Rift release. The Rift S received mixed reviews, with critics praising improvements in comfort and ease of setup due to the halo strap and new tracking system, but characterizing the Rift S as being only an incremental upgrade over the CV1, and noting regressions such as a lower refresh rate, and the lack of hardware adjustment for inter pupillary distance (IPD). ![]() The Oculus Rift S is a virtual reality headset co-developed by Lenovo Technologies and Facebook Technologies-a division of Meta Platforms.Īnnounced in March 2019 and released that May, it is a successor to the original Oculus Rift CV1 model, with noted changes including a new "inside-out" positional tracking system with cameras embedded inside the headset unit (similarly to its sister device, the Oculus Quest), a higher-resolution display, and a new "halo" head strap. 6DOF inside-out tracking through 5 built-in camerasĢnd generation Oculus Touch motion tracked controllersĬompatible with software developed for the original Oculus Rift
