Are you a glasses wearer? It was no issue for me using glasses. They do not touch the Fresnel lenses. Mine do fit close to my eyes, not on the end of my nose. If you have them out that far then yes they're going to hit the lenses. I tried the Rift with and without glasses. Due to my near-sightedness I was okay. Was it sharp? No. Usable, absolutely. Putting on your glasses does make it hard to put on the HMD (Head Mounted Display). Taking off the HMD was even more odd and difficult as it wanted to pluck the glasses off my face. It's not easy, but doable. Once you have the glasses on and get the HMD on everything is good and quite comfortable and my glasses never touched the lenses and I could even adjust my glasses forward and back to get that sweet-spot they talk about. So if you're going a short stint with the HMD, I just keep my glasses off. If I'm going to sit in on a few hours of Elite Dangerous, I'll go to the hassle of putting on the glasses and getting them in to the lens cavity and get it all adjusted.
Head tracking was instantaneous. No jitter. No loss in frame rate. No issues turning my head completely 180 degrees by leaning out of my chair and looking behind the cockpit in Elite Dangerous to see the entire spaceship in all it's glory.
Weight. It's very lite, much more so than the Vive. When I whip my head side to side it never slips and I don't have it on tight at all. It's just that light. No neck pain, no strain of any kind.
Motion sickness. If you are prone to motion sickness or sea sickness, you might have an issue in certain games. I know I felt it a little bit as I was bounding across the hillside in an SRV on some moon in Elite Dangerous with 10% gravity and going airborn. It messed with my head a little and I just had to back down and take it easy a bit. I consider myself a tough guy and while everyone gets seasick on a boat, I'm the one having lunch and a great time while everyone else is spilling groceries. So just know that you ARE susceptible to this issue. Be careful and go easy at first or it's going to be a bad experience for you.
Controllers. The XBox controller they give you is good. I had no issues with it and the first thing I did was play that Lucky game. Pretty cool, quite fun. For serious gamers? You're going to need to either memorize all your keys and key combos before dawning the HMD or get yourself a HOTAS setup. For me I purchased the Thrustmaster Joystick and Throttle setup and I have the pedals on the way. Going that route enables you to not only memorize all your button inputs but also keeps your hands still! If you have to move your hands around, you're going to look like a blind person learning where all the keys are at.
Seeing through the HMD. Not true. You can't see through it AT ALL. If you can, you've torn the material inside somehow and busted the plastic casing. Otherwise, you just can't see through it, period.
You're going to need a LOT of USB ports. For me to run the keyboard, mouse, desk microphone, joystick, throttle, pedals, Rift HMD, XBox controller, Constellation Tracking camera (for the HMD), it required that I have 6 2.0 USB slots and 2 3.0 USB slots plus one HDMI slot on my NVidia 980 TI. That's every USB slot I have on my rig. Could I use a USB bus? Maybe. I would use it for the keyboard/mouse/microphone I'm sure. You can't put the Oculus Rift setup on any USB bus at all.
I'll admit that of all the research and reviews I read on the Rift I thought I was going to be disappointed. I wanted to at least try it out before I'm gone from this world even if I had to return it due to not being happy with it. Boy was I wrong. I'll never return it. This is the future. This is the next step of gaming. I can't wait until Star Citizen (currently in Alpha) supports the Rift and they do say they will be supporting it 100%. This takes the "immersion" factor to a whole new level. I'll never play Elite Dangerous any other way. Just one benefit alone...I can watch my target through the canopy of my spaceship looking up and side to side and never have to hit any special keys. I just look around like I would if I was really there...and DO feel like you're really there.
1. The oculus in itself is a great piece of tech. It is very good at the motion capture, it is easy to set up, and it even works with steamvr. The free games that are included with the oculus are great tid bits of fun to play around with and feel the experience the oculus will eventually offer as the product becomes much more popular. The games are smooth and enjoyable and they are designed specifically for players to get used to a very new form of game play, so do not expect super fast paced shooters like call of duty any time soon. The oculus provides an amazingly in depth world that you get to enter (sitting down of course) and experience while listening to the great audio provided through the excellent built in headphones.
2. Now, in order to play non-oculus supported games, you need to purchase and download a piece of software called vorpx. It is a $40 application that basically bypasses the oculus dashboard and home screen to play the game you want. Now, the vorpx review aside, you must keep in mind you are fitting a square into two ovals. The game screen will never be perfect unless developers start making games supported by vr. The screen will always be too big and some of the objects on the side will be off screen, or the screen will be too small and there will be an area of grey color at the bottom of the gameplay screen.
Putting aside the limitations of non-oculus supported game screens, the games are actually pretty amazing. I have tried Fallout 4, Alien: Isolation, and Arma 3 so far. Immediately, they are quite amazing because everything is now 3d. That is right, 3d gaming. The head tracker worked pretty well however, there are some pretty big limitations with controls. Maybe additional software will be developed to play the more keyboard necessary games, but until then, be ready to mess with control schemes for a few hours until you get them set up right and not interfere with some of the vorpx hotkeys.
One other issue with non-vr supported games is the vertigo. I will tell you outright, unless you purchase one of the vr treadmills such as the virtuix, the oculus will make you motion sick with non-vr games. The fast pace motion of Arma 3 and Fallout 4 almost made me vomit and I am not prone to motion sickness. I have not experienced any motion sickness with the supported games for the oculus. However, these games are not nearly as fast paced so who knows.
Overall, the oculus is a great brand new piece of technology that is sure to blow you and your friends' minds with how awesome it can be. Since it is still so new, there is not much support by 3rd party software and gaming companies. So until then, the oculus is limited to either the supported vr games or a pretty limited experience with non-supported games. It is still worth every penny due to the fact that there is still so much this object is capable of, even if the 3rd party software companies have yet to catch up.

Wow am I glad I got this, I love Simulators like DCS World, Prepared 3D and wow has the Oculus just blown the game play out of the park, it now feels like I'm in the plane I actually got motion sickness in one of my first dog fights it felt so real. It's hard to describe how it feels sitting in your chair and looking around at all the switches and leaning over and looking out the window of your plane but it's far more realistic than watching a 2D image on your monitor. I will also add what you've seen on YouTube or other video services doesn't do VR justice, watching a 2D representation of a 3D experience is not anywhere close to what you will experience.
The headset is great and for me sitting in a chair the cable is long enough, but if I was doing larger moving (room sized gaming) I might find it a little too short. It does fit over glasses but they can't be too big either so if you wear over sized aviator style glasses you may find they don't fit inside the headset.
I would highly recommend that anyone who plays flight sims or combat flight sims should get a VR headset and Oculus has been great for me. Just remember your air sick bag for those first couple of flights.
Otra cosa mas es la resolución; al ser ligeramente arriba de FullHD y por la proximidad al lente, ves los pixeles muy marcados, los objetos que en el mundo virtual están "lejos" son poco distinguibles. Esta es una desventaja en algunos juegos.
Lo positivo: CALIDAD. Desde que te dispones a abrir el oculus, la calidad es lo primero que llama la atención, desde la caja hasta los cables, pasando lógicamente por el visor. Los materiales con los que esta hecho son muy buenos.
Otro aspecto positivo es el sensor de movimiento, es muy preciso, eso te da la sensación de inmersión al no tener lags (sienpre y cuando uses una buena tarjeta gráfica). Ojo no cualquier puerto USB 3.0 será compatible. Algunas tarjetas madres viejas con USB 3.0 no son tan compatibles.
Sobre los juegos. Tener paciencia que apenas arranca esto de la VR y juegos buenos los hay contados. Yo personalmente compre el oculus para otros fines como el diseño en 3D así que no tengo queja.
Definitivamente recomiendo el oculus, ahora que bajo de precio es una opción atractiva para quien guste de probar cosas nuevas en el mundo de la tecnología.
No es recomendable para personas que usen lentes
A mi me fascina el universo, las estrellas, viajes espaciales, todo lo que tenga que ver con el espacio exterior, debo admitir que al ver escenas del espacio exterior en el OR... lloré. Sentir que viajas entre planetas o sistemas solares y volar cerca de un sol, fue un sueño hecho realidad(ser astronauta).
Solo encontré un detalle técnico, si se tiene problemas de visión ocular, oculus no tiene como enfocar o permitir el uso de lentes. En cuanto a Amazon, un excelente servicio de envío, la caja llego dañada pero gracias a que le pusieron bolsas de aire la caja original del OR dentro de ella se mantuvo intacta.
Altamente recomendable adquirir el OR con Amazon, además de ser la opción más económica para su adquisición desde México.
