Overview
Plugging into a computer, the Oculus Rift S turns PC games into virtual reality through an LCD panel and a set of motion sensors in the headset. The PC does the rendering, so the headset is only as capable as the machine behind it.
Buy it to bring a desktop gaming setup into virtual reality with a wide field of view and voice chat through the built-in mic. The listing is thin: no PC requirements, no controller details and only a limited warranty, so confirm those before ordering.
Who it's for
A gamer with a capable desktop who wants to play PC VR titles gets a headset that leans entirely on that machine. Someone without a suitable computer, or who wants a headset that runs on its own, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Wide field of view
- High resolution LCD panel
- Built-in microphone for voice chat
- Proximity sensor plus motion sensors
- Needs a PC to run anything
- PC requirements not listed
- Warranty described only as limited
- Controller details are thin
Performance notes
The PC renders every frame, so smoothness and detail depend on its graphics hardware. Head motion is read by the gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer inside the headset, and a proximity sensor is listed alongside them.
