Oculus Rift - Virtual Reality Headset - Black

Oculus Just gave it a price drop and now it's priced at 399$ that's less than Rs.26,000(its the price for the whole bundle). Now considering the import charges and additional costs it should not be more than Rs.42,000. I believe anyone looking to buy it should import it on their own.It would still be way less than this Amazon seller's price. Btw the product deserves 4/5 star as its really good and you also require a moderately high-end PC with at least GTX 1070 to have smooth VR experience.

The current selling price of this VR is around 49k and I think it is worth... If u have a good pc with a gtx1060 or better then this is ur thing...But be sure to buy the touch..

no doubt the headset is legendary..... but the damn price.... you kidding me? it costs around 600 dollars which is around 40k rupees... even if the price was 50k it would be reasonable....

This oculus rift is so bad as it is not comfortable, on wearing this headset it does not feel that we are in the world of games, it feel that our eyes are locked in a box, and on wearing it there is a gap in between so it does not feel in real

dude plz check the price its 81k whereas msrp is 40k plz bring it down.

Extortion is not cool.

El oculus rift realmente vale lo que cuesta, sin embargo hay cosas que no se deben ignorar antes de comprar, como es el mareo y la cinetosis (motion sickness) que provoca al usarse, especialmente con los juegos de acción. Yo con 5 min de un simulador de una montaña rusa tuve para marearme (y no me suelo marear tanto en una montaña rusa de verdad). Esto no es algo que Oculus no advierta y no creo que sea una falla del producto o algo que se pueda resolver pronto. Debe de haber personas más propensas que otras. Otra cosa mas es la resolución; al ser ligeramente arriba de FullHD y por la proximidad al lente, ves los pixeles muy marcados, los objetos que en el mundo virtual están "lejos" son poco distinguibles. Esta es una desventaja en algunos juegos. Lo positivo: CALIDAD. Desde que te dispones a abrir el oculus, la calidad es lo primero que llama la atención, desde la caja hasta los cables, pasando lógicamente por el visor. Los materiales con los que esta hecho son muy buenos. Otro aspecto positivo es el sensor de movimiento, es muy preciso, eso te da la sensación de inmersión al no tener lags (sienpre y cuando uses una buena tarjeta gráfica). Ojo no cualquier puerto USB 3.0 será compatible. Algunas tarjetas madres viejas con USB 3.0 no son tan compatibles. Sobre los juegos. Tener paciencia que apenas arranca esto de la VR y juegos buenos los hay contados. Yo personalmente compre el oculus para otros fines como el diseño en 3D así que no tengo queja. Definitivamente recomiendo el oculus, ahora que bajo de precio es una opción atractiva para quien guste de probar cosas nuevas en el mundo de la tecnología. No es recomendable para personas que usen lentes

I was skeptical about getting a VR headset, I'd seen video's online but had never really seen what all the hype was about. Then the price dropped on the Oculus Rift and I decided well why not. Wow am I glad I got this, I love Simulators like DCS World, Prepared 3D and wow has the Oculus just blown the game play out of the park, it now feels like I'm in the plane I actually got motion sickness in one of my first dog fights it felt so real. It's hard to describe how it feels sitting in your chair and looking around at all the switches and leaning over and looking out the window of your plane but it's far more realistic than watching a 2D image on your monitor. I will also add what you've seen on YouTube or other video services doesn't do VR justice, watching a 2D representation of a 3D experience is not anywhere close to what you will experience. The headset is great and for me sitting in a chair the cable is long enough, but if I was doing larger moving (room sized gaming) I might find it a little too short. It does fit over glasses but they can't be too big either so if you wear over sized aviator style glasses you may find they don't fit inside the headset. I would highly recommend that anyone who plays flight sims or combat flight sims should get a VR headset and Oculus has been great for me. Just remember your air sick bag for those first couple of flights.

I was hesitant to purchase the Oculus Rift. I did a lot of investigation for about 6 months. I found reviews that were quite negative and some that were quite positive too. I don't often write reviews, but after all the negative comments I found, even though some reviews were good, there is a lot of bad information out there on the Rift that I want to set the record straight. So now that I own a set and have played with them a few hours, I think I can give some first impressions and squelch some bad info. First, there is ZERO screen door effect. People do not understand what that is. Projectors have it at times and it is a pixelation that stays stationary on your screen and normally in dark areas with some light in other areas of the screen and while the camera pans the pixelation STAYS stationary. Trust me, I know. I have a theater room with a projector and at times I can see it. What they are referring to with the Rift and SDE is the led circuitry you see due to the low resolution. It does play some odd effects on your eyes due to the lighting and grid pattern of the LED arrangement on the video screens you're looking at due to how close your eye is to those screens as well as magnified by the lens themselves. Think of the old-time green CRT monitors where you could see the lines of resolution. It's a bit like that, except both horizontally and vertically. Is it obvious? It is at times but THAT is the resolution that comes with the first-gen consumer version of these types of displays. Is it a game-changer? You decide. Let me put it like this. I'm a gamer and I LOVE high-end graphics and go out of my way to purchase the latest and gratest video cards and displays to get it. The Rift is NOT high-end graphics, but it IS the best that is out there. If you don't concentrate on the lack of resolution so much and look at what the 3D vision and head-tracking is doing for you, you'll forget about the resolution. Now the resolution is good enough for me that when I was playing Elite Dangerous with it in an SRV I could clearly see the tread pattern of the wheels outside of the glass cab not to mention all of the scenery I took in in awe. It's not 4K. It's not 1080p 10ft from a TV. It's higher than that but at 1/2 from your eye. Technology has to get a LOT better before they can make screens with that kind of resolution where you cannot detect it 1/2 from your eye and magnified on top of that. Pull up your chair to your monitor on a white background and look closely at your display. You see those pixels? That's what you see in the Rift. 2nd Gen will come out one day but we're a ways from that in my opinion. Are you a glasses wearer? It was no issue for me using glasses. They do not touch the Fresnel lenses. Mine do fit close to my eyes, not on the end of my nose. If you have them out that far then yes they're going to hit the lenses. I tried the Rift with and without glasses. Due to my near-sightedness I was okay. Was it sharp? No. Usable, absolutely. Putting on your glasses does make it hard to put on the HMD (Head Mounted Display). Taking off the HMD was even more odd and difficult as it wanted to pluck the glasses off my face. It's not easy, but doable. Once you have the glasses on and get the HMD on everything is good and quite comfortable and my glasses never touched the lenses and I could even adjust my glasses forward and back to get that sweet-spot they talk about. So if you're going a short stint with the HMD, I just keep my glasses off. If I'm going to sit in on a few hours of Elite Dangerous, I'll go to the hassle of putting on the glasses and getting them in to the lens cavity and get it all adjusted. Head tracking was instantaneous. No jitter. No loss in frame rate. No issues turning my head completely 180 degrees by leaning out of my chair and looking behind the cockpit in Elite Dangerous to see the entire spaceship in all it's glory. Weight. It's very lite, much more so than the Vive. When I whip my head side to side it never slips and I don't have it on tight at all. It's just that light. No neck pain, no strain of any kind. Motion sickness. If you are prone to motion sickness or sea sickness, you might have an issue in certain games. I know I felt it a little bit as I was bounding across the hillside in an SRV on some moon in Elite Dangerous with 10% gravity and going airborn. It messed with my head a little and I just had to back down and take it easy a bit. I consider myself a tough guy and while everyone gets seasick on a boat, I'm the one having lunch and a great time while everyone else is spilling groceries. So just know that you ARE susceptible to this issue. Be careful and go easy at first or it's going to be a bad experience for you. Controllers. The XBox controller they give you is good. I had no issues with it and the first thing I did was play that Lucky game. Pretty cool, quite fun. For serious gamers? You're going to need to either memorize all your keys and key combos before dawning the HMD or get yourself a HOTAS setup. For me I purchased the Thrustmaster Joystick and Throttle setup and I have the pedals on the way. Going that route enables you to not only memorize all your button inputs but also keeps your hands still! If you have to move your hands around, you're going to look like a blind person learning where all the keys are at. Seeing through the HMD. Not true. You can't see through it AT ALL. If you can, you've torn the material inside somehow and busted the plastic casing. Otherwise, you just can't see through it, period. You're going to need a LOT of USB ports. For me to run the keyboard, mouse, desk microphone, joystick, throttle, pedals, Rift HMD, XBox controller, Constellation Tracking camera (for the HMD), it required that I have 6 2.0 USB slots and 2 3.0 USB slots plus one HDMI slot on my NVidia 980 TI. That's every USB slot I have on my rig. Could I use a USB bus? Maybe. I would use it for the keyboard/mouse/microphone I'm sure. You can't put the Oculus Rift setup on any USB bus at all. I'll admit that of all the research and reviews I read on the Rift I thought I was going to be disappointed. I wanted to at least try it out before I'm gone from this world even if I had to return it due to not being happy with it. Boy was I wrong. I'll never return it. This is the future. This is the next step of gaming. I can't wait until Star Citizen (currently in Alpha) supports the Rift and they do say they will be supporting it 100%. This takes the "immersion" factor to a whole new level. I'll never play Elite Dangerous any other way. Just one benefit alone...I can watch my target through the canopy of my spaceship looking up and side to side and never have to hit any special keys. I just look around like I would if I was really there...and DO feel like you're really there.

I researched the Vive, PS4 VR and Oculus Rift w/ Touch controllers for about a month reading idk how many articles and reviews and found that for one...they all cost the same if you don't already have the PS4 so no matter you will spend about $800 plus tax on any for the full system. The Oculus Touch controllers had the highest review as did the Oculus headset. It seemed the ONLY reason ppl said the PS4 VR was cheaper was cause a lot of ppl had it already so they didnt factor in the cost of when they had to buy one. The only reason the HTC Vive seemed to get better reviews was due to already having the controllers out w/ their set. SO for me it was a no brainer the Oculus had a better quality, comfortable, nicer looking headset and less cords/easier set-up. The controllers, which are out now, where said to be more fluid, comfortable and less "clunky" that the Vive's. None of them are wireless, though I did read the Vive is coming out w/ a limited number of an attachment to make their headset wireless but at another $200, which brings there total to $1000 if you get that. I love my Oculus headset and now that the touch controllers are out everything on Steam that was only for the Vive is available for the Oculus! I was hoping that would happen and it did! There are still some titles you can only find on the Oculus store though and I haven't seen prices SO FAR that are cheaper on Steam than on Oculus, so that is good. There are a lot of free things apps, some good cheap ones and then games in the $30-50 range per the norm. There is also a program you can buy called vorpX that will allow you to play older games as well like ESO; they have a list of games and there are youtube videos that show you how to set it up. The home screen is relaxing and easy to navigate and you can customize your avatar. The games are fun and visually appealing. There are even virtual "chat rooms" and gaming you can do w/ other ppl and talk to them through a built in mic. I will say the clarity wasn't HD like I had hoped..maybe I am too spoiled on HDX, blu-ray and 3D quality but once in games you don't notice it and become immersed in what your doing. It was like going from HDX back to DVDs, but It is still amazing to say the least even the short "movie" experiences you have on the Rift are great. The set up was super easy and took all of like 10 mins tbh. Overall I would have to say I am very happy w/ my purchase and that I didnt buy a different VR system. Also, knowing that they are partnered w/ Xbox and Microsoft officially now tells me there is a bright future for the Oculus Rift not just in gaming but in useful apps that can help w/ work or study. FYI they already have VR medical A&P and an art app that you can actually use w/ your 3D printer and other stuff of that nature. OH and before I forget...yes you probably would want a high end PC to run it BUT they has recently done an update that will allow for some lesser spec'd PC to use the Rift. [...] For those who will ask if their PC will run it there is a"pc checker" on their website that will let you know. FYI I was surprised there is NOT a customer support number if you need it, you have to email or use forums to get in touch w/ them which could be very annoying if you can't solve an issue you have w/ the store or equipment yourself or through past forums. Oh Also I haven't had any issues getting sick or nauseous from the games I have either.

I really love VR, and have a PSVR, Samsung VR and a Vive VR. I purchased the Oculus as I heard it had less of the screen door effect than my Vive. From what little time I actually got to use the Rift, it does seem to look a bit nicer, but not by a lot. However since I an now doing the second restore of my computer and having to reinstall all my software because of problems with it I blame myself for not doing a more in depth review of the more dramatic problems. Besides a sensor loop that would not let me get past the installation, there is the system_thread_exception_not_handled problem that has me wiping my computer.
