That’s probably not going to make Oculus go mainstream, though. In other words, Oculus’s baseline control scheme is basically the same thing we’ve already been doing for the last two years. The Oculus Rift will also ship with a wireless Xbox One controller. That’s a pretty huge deal, considering what a pain it is to set up the current DK2. First of all, the Consumer Rift will work natively with Windows 10. The Windows connectionĪs part of that refinement, Oculus announced a partnership with Windows-both on the OS side and the hardware side. This is about refining the DK2, not pivoting towards standing-VR.
In any case, it’s an evolution over its predecessor, not exactly a “me-too” bid against Valve and the Vive.
