Oculus Rift - Virtual Reality Headset

For those of you who don't know, virtual reality has been a focal point in the new age of technological innovation and development.  Perhaps at the forefront is Oculus VR, who recently joined Facebook and are developing a virtual reality headset that appears to be very promising.  You can learn more about Oculus VR and their products here.

 

It's extremely exciting to see virtual reality advancing the way it is.  Although the first thoughts of its possible uses pointed towards the gaming community, I can only imagine the amount of impact it can have as a global communications device (hint: Facebook is in on it).  As an extension of video programs like Skype, imagine being able to record your environment and what you see, 360 degrees, and then having a friend or family member across the world put on the virtual reality headset and see what you just saw.  In fact, think of what Google Maps has been able to do over the years and their Street View function.  Users could possibly put on the headset and have the ability to look around the location that they want to go to!

Or... you can use it for pure entertainment value with friends and family like this.
