Facebook’s virtual-reality company is sending out the first wave of its latest development kits, so it’s time to stare out your window and wait for the FedEx delivery person.
After months of presales, Oculus VR is finally putting its dev kit version 2.0 in the mail (as first spotted by Gigaom). Anumber of developers and hobbyists who preordered it are getting email confirmations that their VR head-mounted displays are on the way. Over the last year, the Facebook subsidiary has revealed the new version of the kit, which runs at a higher resolution and features improved motion-tracking capabilities compared to the early developer version. Now, people will finally get a chance to start making software for the upgraded technology. This is the latest step in the company’s march toward a consumer release — which will work a lot like this latest developer version — that will launch later this year or in early 2015.
