Pop star Lorde: Oculus Rift is like 'being in someone's filth' and 'communism'

Lorde may never be royal, but she could always simulate royalty using an Oculus Rift.

The New Zealand-based pop star recently tried the Oculus Rift virtual-reality headset. The VR head-mounted display is still in its early testing phase, but people around the world are using the development kits to make stuff before the consumer version launches later this year (or early next). It will enable you to enter and explore impossible video game worlds. In an interview with the Guardian, Lorde explained that she used the cutting-edge technology with a program that simulated a recording studio. The experience gave her the sensation that she was in the room watching a musician work. She came out of her time with Oculus VR’s Rift with some interesting thoughts about it.
