Building the Rift meant solving a lot of really hard engineering challenges. Oculus VR developed state-of-the-art custom display technology to create immersive visuals, and precise head tracking, so you can move naturally in virtual environments. Oculus VR integrated high quality VR audio into the Rift to convince your ears that you’re really there.
