On one hand, the laser positioning system offers a generous tracking area of 15 x 15 feet that potentially allow users more freedom to move around in a room versus the Oculus Rift, which will depend on the ability of the single constellation tracking sensor.

LAS VEGAS – It’s finally official: The much-hyped Oculus Rift virtual-reality headset will cost gamers a sweet $600.
However, it’s possible Sony may consider the PlayStation VR akin to a handheld console launch due to its reliance upon the PS4.
But the question remains: how much will the PlayStation VR ultimately cost, and more importantly perhaps, how much are consumers willing for fork out for it? The company, Iribe said, wanted to focus on bringing the best virtual reality experience possible to market and didn’t want to compromise on the quality of the headset or the experience. What does it take to make something that won’t make people uncomfortable and won’t turn people off of virtual reality? It wouldn’t surprise me if they tried to gouge the early adopters, knowing that sales will fall off sharply when everyone realizes VR in their front room is not a viable form of entertainment.
Along with those systems and specific chassis, you also get yourself a brand new Oculus Rift CV1 headset, though when you’ll actually receive it is anyone’s guess.
First they say, unlike Sony, whose Playstation VR headset will work perfectly on PlayStation 4, consumers will need a compatible PC to use the Rift effectively.
“We have seen mobile grow from zero to 90 percent of our revenue in just under three years”, said Christian Gaiser, CEO of Retale, in a statement. The company has revelealed that the PlayStation VR has a 120fps cap, 18ms refresh rates and an OLED display with a 1,920 X RGB X 1,080 resolution. Dell’s Alienware line has joined the VR Ready program by announcing the $1200 Alienware X51 R3 Gaming Desktop, which sports the minimum specs required to power the Rift.
There’s Summer Lesson, the rather questionable VR game that puts you inside a Japanese Schoolgirl’s room, and Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 will have VR support too.

There’s all sorts of furor over VR when it comes to the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR, and for good reason: they’re really cool experiences.
