What customers say about "Key Specs"
Oculus Rift Virtual Reality Headset
  • Its a great product.
  • Warning to anyone afraid of heights! It seems real! Also have to avoid the games with fast movement because I get motion sick, but I love most of the games!
  • I think that you need to add more movement to the VR to get a better sense of immersion, similar to the HTC Vive with room detection.
