Oculus Finally Hints at the Cost of its Upcoming Rift Hardware

Oculus is still aiming for a Q1 2016 launch of its Oculus Rift consumer version VR headset. During an interview at the Re/code conference this week, Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe suggested that a complete Rift system, including a computer, should run in the $1,500 range. According to some quick math by Ars Technica, to build a PC with the specs required to power the system would cost around $900. This equation leaves $600 for the Oculus Rift itself, which may be somewhat high of an estimate. There are too many variables to consider at this point, but we may get more details next month when the company shares its plans for a VR control solution at the E3 show.
