Consumer Oculus Rift is 'more than a few months' out as designers make it more comfy

Virtual reality has the power to make you feel like you’re in another world. It also has the power to leave some really gnarly chafe marks around your face and eyes if you wear a headset too long.

Creating a comfortable product is one of the issues that holds back a consumer version of the Rift headset from Oculus VR, according to the company’s chief executive officer Brendan Iribe. In an interview with financial news cable network Bloomberg, Iribe explained that company is close to releasing its first product for consumers, but his team is really focused on making sure that the experience is pleasant for those who use it.
