hi this is Nathan with the verge we're here at oculus and we're taking a look at the rift this is their virtual reality headset and a piece of hardware we've got right here is the developer kit which is shipping out to kickstarter backers at the end of March and it's pretty simple what you see here strap goes around your head and there's two lenses here that you look through for the 3d virtual reality experience and the total resolution of the screen is 1280 by 800 each I receives 640 x 800 input you know the resolution of the sound is impressive as some of the high res screens you see you today but we've been assured that once you put it on you're not even going to notice that we'll find out soon so that's basically all there is to the prototype hardware here there's a box right here the control box this hooks into your PC it's got a DVI port HDMI USB and power and that's about all there is from a hardware spective but we're really looking forward to checking out is the software and how it works once you put it on
