Design
1.adjustable IPD
✔Oculus Rift
Interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance between the center of your eyes. Without adjustable IPD, the lenses of a VR headset may not line up with your pupils, which can result in eye strain and nausea.
2.weight
470g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
Display & Lenses
1.resolution
2160 x 1200px
Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen. The resolution is given as a compound value, comprised of horizontal and vertical pixels.
2.field of view
110°
A wider field of view assures an immersive and realistic experience.
3.refresh rate
90Hz
The frequency at which the screen is refreshed. Higher frequency results in less flickering (less noise) and more natural movement representation in action-intense scenes.
4.Has adjustable lenses
✔Oculus Rift
With adjustable lenses, the device can assure a sharp and clear image for a wide range of users, including users who usually wear glasses.
5.Has an OLED or AMOLED display
✔Oculus Rift
OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) displays are formed of organic materials that emit light. They have higher contrast ratios and wider viewing angles compared to LCDs. AMOLED and POLED are types of OLED displays.
6.Has a display
✔Oculus Rift
The device has an electronic display to present information to the user.
7.screen size
5.6"
The bigger the screen size is, the better the user experience.
8.lens diameter
50mm
Lenses with a bigger diameter offer better image quality.
Tracking
1.Tracks head movement
✔Oculus Rift
As your head moves, the images move in real-time, assuring a realistic experience.
2.has a gyroscope
✔Oculus Rift
A gyroscope is a sensor that tracks the orientation of a device, more specifically by measuring the angular rotational velocity. Initially, they were built using a spinning rotor to detect changes in orientation, like twisting or rotation.
3.Has position tracking
✔Oculus Rift
The device can track your position in space and warn you if you are about to hit something.
4.Can track 360° head movement
✔Oculus Rift
The headset has multiple sensors and cameras that assure low latency tracking for 360° movements.
5.has an accelerometer
✔Oculus Rift
An accelerometer is a sensor used to measure the linear acceleration of a device. A common application is detecting when a device changes between vertical and horizontal positions.
6.Has gesture control
✔Oculus Rift
The gesture control function allows you to manipulate virtual objects.
7.tracking area
3.3 x 1.5m
The area of the surface that can be used for VR or AR simulations. A larger tracking area allows you more freedom of movement.
8.Has an infrared sensor
✔Oculus Rift
With an infrared sensor the device can detect motion by measuring the infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view.
Connectivity
Newer USB versions are faster and have better power management.
More HDMI ports mean that you can simultaneously connect numerous devices, such as video game consoles and set-top boxes.
Features
1.has a socket for a 3.5 mm audio jack
✔Oculus Rift
With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
2.Game controller included
✔Oculus Rift
The device comes with a game controller.
3.Has integrated audio
✔Oculus Rift
Devices with integrated audio are more convenient to use, as you don't have worry about connecting headphones or microphones.
4.has stereo speakers
✔Oculus Rift
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
5.Has touch controllers
✔Oculus Rift
The device comes with handheld wireless controllers that are used for gesture control and/or movement tracking.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
