With the news yesterday that Oculus are releasing the consumer version of the Oculus Rift for Q1 of next year we decided to put together a short timeline of the Rifts current young history.

Although quite a lot has happened in virtual reality over the past 3 years we decided to only include some of the key moments that have gotten Oculus on the map. With HTC Vive coming out at the end of this year and Sony releasing the Morpheus Q2 next year we can finally say that virtual reality is about to hit main stream. This is indeed an exciting time not only for us early adopters and pioneers but for the world in general. We are on the cusp of a major change in how media is consumed and virtual reality has the potential to be one of the most disruptive technologies ever created.

Oculus signed off on their announcement post stating that this is only the beginning. and 5 years from now we will look back at this statement and think to ourselves how wise those words turned out to be. Smart developers and genius pioneers will use devices like the Rift in ways what we cant even begin to imagine and I for one cant wait to see what’s just around the corner. This is not only the beginning this is just the start of the beginning.
