Oculus today announced an improvement to their original Rift headset, the Oculus Rift S. The new headset from oculus builds upon advances in their view of a VR experience, as well as from learnings acquired through the development of the original Rift, the smartphone-only Oculus Go, and the standalone Oculus Quest, to deliver the new, ultimate VR experience in the Oculus field.
 
The Rift S also features a new head strap, integrated audio and Passthrough+ technology, besides some other quality of life improvements such as "for increased comfort, better weight distribution and improved light blocking." It will also be implementing a single-cable system for a clutter-free experience," so long as you don't use the headphone jack - we don't know the nature of this single-cable system yet, but it better be based on VirtualLink.

    Looking at the requirements it looks like it lists HDMI 1.3 and DisplayPort/Mini DisplayPort. Then again it lists USB 3.0 so it’s really hard to tell how it will connect single cable.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

    Very underwhelming considering the competitors pending releases.

    New build pending....
