The latest Kickstarter-funded project to cause a stir online is the Oculus Rift. Oculus is a virtual reality headset that's designed to offer unparalleled visual quality, low-latency performance, and drive new levels of game/video immersion. The product page is a veritable Who's Who of the gaming world, with John Carmack calling it "the best VR demo probably the world has ever seen," and Epic Games Design Director Cliff Bleszinski declaring that his company wants the Unreal engine to be compatible with the Rift. The technical specifications are equally impressive. The Rift provides a 110-degree field of vision and is capable of tracking head movement far more smoothly than previous efforts in this field. The developer kit (yours for just $300) includes a copy of Doom III: BFG, which has been ported to run on the new headset, the Rift SDK, and complete access to the company's nascent Development Center.
