The Rift is here! The Rift is here!
After years of build up and pre-release developer kits, the first deliveries of the consumer version of the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset started arriving this morning.
Lucas and I got to spend time with the Rift over the past few days (read Lucas’ full review here) — and, though we rarely do unboxings these days and a gnarly cold was making my nose so stuffed up that I could hardly speak, we figured this one was worthy. It’s a damned fine box with a whole lot of goodies crammed inside.
Join us as we take our first steps into this crazy new future we’re in, won’t you?
(P.S — we figured out what that mystery tool at the end of the video is for: removing the headphones.)
