Facebook has teamed with Lenovo to design a new virtual reality headset geared toward gamers. The Oculus Rift S will be made available later this spring for $399.
The social media giant announced the Oculus Rift S at last week’s Game Developers Conference. The headset promises higher resolution, better optics, and a new Passthrough+ feature that enables a user to view the physical world without taking off his or her headset.
Lenovo partnered with Facebook on the Rift S, and the device incorporates the Oculus Insight inside-out tracking technology. That system relies on five cameras, including one in each corner of the headset, to scan nearby items via computer vision algorithms.
