Oculus Rift
Oculus Rift is a virtual reality headset released in 2016. To this day, the model remains relevant, and the technical characteristics are steadily maintained at a decent level. The glasses look impressive and presentable, but they are lightweight (450 grams) and fit comfortably on the head. What does a powerful device that made a splash among fans of virtual reality hold in itself?
Oculus helmet for virtual adventures
There are no problems with game content for Oculus today, they are represented by a large selection. There are special "hits" created exclusively for the Rift that you have to pay for.
The Oculus stuffing is in many ways similar to the HTC Vive, but the gadget is easy to install and has higher image quality, while it costs a lot less. The cable coming from the helmet connects to USB and HDMI connectors. Two more USB ports are needed to install an infrared camera tracker and a wireless module that supports work with a gamepad.
One of the good things about the Oculus Rift is the built-in headphones. If their power is not enough, you can connect your own, just keep in mind that in this case, the cable will have to be connected to the computer's audio output.
If you play a regular platformer, you get the feeling that you are in an "aquarium", gamers with a particularly sensitive vestibule apparatus will feel comfortable. If you immerse yourself in games with more fluid graphics, for example, War Thunder, you may feel as if you are in fact in the cockpit and independently throw out loops in the air. It is difficult to play such adventures for a long time - your head starts to spin.

It should be noted that a powerful computer is a requirement for the game. By the way, you can save money on games created specifically for the Rift through Steam, where they will cost less.
