USC Launches 3-D Printed VR Headset Library

Posted by Soulskill on from the 3d-print-all-the-things dept.

Hesh writes "The University of Southern California has launched a website that contains the blueprints for many of their custom VR headsets as well as new mods to the much anticipated yet unreleased Oculus Rift. Some are helping push DIY VR forward through custom sensor mounts to support, for example, stereo cameras and others add more functionality like new eye cups to help increase the already large FOV of the headset. This is truly an exciting time for VR; by GDC, developers will already have Rifts in hand and tinkerers can 3D-print their own designs now as well!"

    <cynical_mode>A more immersive experience for the drone pilots... what do you expect? That's were the money are!
    Tapping the resources of a group of enthusiasts will speed up the project and lower the costs (but not necessarily the price)</cynical_mode>
