Facebook Inc’s Oculus division on March 20 unveiled a new version of the Rift virtual-reality headset, the Rift S, adding a higher-resolution display and a new design.
The new model, which goes on sale for US$399 (RM1,620) sometime in the spring, plays the same games as the original Rift, but adds embedded sensors instead of external cameras for tracking. The previous model, which sold for as little as US$349 (RM1,417), required an array of external sensors for the headset to understand the user’s environment.
