The announced price of the new model S is $ 399 (which is $ 50 more than the previous version). The device reportedly will offer a number of useful improvements, among which, including higher resolution screens and integrated audio system (instead of invoice).

It is possible to increase the picture resolution with 1080 x 1200 to 1280 x 1440 pixels. However, the refresh rate of the screens was reduced from 90 Hz to 80 Hz for each eye. At the same time, the field angle, according to the portal TechCrunch, has become a bit more in comparison with the original version of the Rift.
Package a new headset will include two controller Oculus Touch. In addition, the headset got five cameras to sense the environment. The presence of an array of cameras, which the manufacturer called Oculus Insight, makes unnecessary external sensors.

To be able to enjoy all the pleasures of the Rift's buyers, as before, will require a powerful computer. To check the compatibility of your system with the requirements of headset Oculus advises to use a special program from the official website of the company.
