Oculus Rift, probably the most anticipated gadget of the year, or is it maybe next year, we still don't know the release date. People all around the world can't wait for this device to hit the stores, but it looks like they will have to wait a little bit longer. So far only developer versions of Oculus Rift are available.
Company got famous after they gathered 2.4 million dollars via Kickstarter, then to the disappointment of many they were bought by Facebook for 2 billion dollars. Of course people are not delighted that Facebook will have accesses to their VR and nobody definitely wants to see adds right in front of their face. Still 2 billion dollars of founds, probably more considering Facebook isn't bad with money, is great to have when your technology is still in development.
Lately there have been a lot of rumors around Oculus Rift and Samsung, something about those two companies working together. People at iFixit tear down the lattes developer version of Oculus and confirmed those rumors to be true. Samsung's OLED display is located in the VR device.
According to iFixit, Oculus Rift is using Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 display for the screen. So what is Samsugn' angle, what are they getting in return. Possibly they are getting paid for the hardware the are sending out, but there are also rumors that the South Korean company might be getting accesses to software developer kit that is used to create virtual reality.
This doesn't mean that the Oculust Rift market version will have the same screen as the developer version. Will just have to wait and see.
