Xbox One games can be streamed to Rift consumer model

4.6
The consumer model of the Rift headset from Oculus VR will come packaged with an wireless Xbox One controller, an adapter usable with Windows 10, and the ability to stream Xbox One games to the headset.

“Rift will work with Windows 10 allowing users to stream their Xbox One games such as Halo, Forza, and Sunset Overdrive to the Oculus Rift using the controller that they know and love,” said Xbox boss said Phil Spencer during the briefing (thanks, Destructoid).

The tech comes with a controller, two OLED screens with a wide field of view, a tracking system with “very low latency movement” as well as an external sensor which can be set upon your desk, coffee table or whatever you wish to set it on.

Headphones are integrated into the headset, but removable, and features 360-degree spatialized audio.

The Rift also features a dial to adjust the interpupillary distance between your eyes and to make things for comfortable for different face shapes and sizes. It is covered in cloth for extra comfort; is light enough to hold with one hand, and if you wear glasses wear glasses, you can remove the interior face-plate.

This article is fairly confusing. It mentions being able to use the controller XB users all know and love, so the XB1 controller, right? Except in the next sentence it mentions the Rift's controller? Can both be used? Is the rift controller what was originally being talked about or was it the XB1 controller?

I still don't understand the whole XB1 streaming to a Rift though? The rift needs continuous 90FPS unless users want to get nauseous and ill. XB1 barely even plays games at 60FPS? The Rift is harder to run than your average 1080p panel. You need high end PC hardware to even run the Rift.

It says work with Windows 10 being able to stream Xbox One games, does that mean you need a pc with win 10 to stream your xbox? eh confused...

This technology looks crazy, but I'm guessing it will be quite expensive to buy, that'll put me off.

Disapprove I think this will really only be temporary technology itll be cool at first but people will get sick of it and revert back.


It will probably become a fad of most companies trying to recreate it and make it better over time.

The Oculus Rift seems like it could have potential.
