Oculus-Alike: Build Your Own Virtual Reality Headset

Posted by timothy on from the ok-but-not-while-driving dept.

Hesh writes "With the impending arrival of the first batch of Oculus Rift VR headsets to developers, Rod Furlan put up a very detailed guide on how to build your very own headset with off-the-shelf parts and a few hours of spare time based off of the original design of the headset from the forums where it all started. This is a very exciting time for VR, and DIY headsets will allow everyone to try out new tricks and form factors while finally being able to test with a whole new world of compatible software that is about to be released very soon."

    Additionally, the lenses focus the display at infinity, so you're not straining your eyes trying to look at something right in front of your face.
