Oculus Rift Test Drive in Live For Speed

In the gaming world there are few pieces of hardware with more hope or promise then the Oculus Rift. The Oculus rift is a head mounted virtual reality display that creates a 3d environment that is perfect for gaming. After a successful Kickstart launch they introduced the DK1 development kit for programmers to start making compatible with software. A year later the DK2 was released and better graphics, a better display and headset and better overall performance. The units were still only being sold to developers and keeping them out of the reach of the general public.\r

I was able to track down a Oculus Rift DK2 and take it on a test drive with Live For Speed in a F1 car. This video captures some of my impressions while using Oculus in racing and to see if the technology holds up to the high demands of us racers. I want to thank CXC Simulations for giving me access to their facility, their full motion simrig, and their Oculus Rift for this test drive.\r
