Not really. It's just an elastic headband so there's nothing there that would interfere with a set of headphones.Seems like wearing the unit and then using any sort of headphone unit along with it would be quite awkward.
They've said they have 100 engineers between the offices in CA and TX. I don't know what a top flight electrical/software/mechanical engineer living in CA makes per year but it has to be decent right? Even if they were only paying those guys 100k each that is still 10 million just on payroll, then you've got lease costs, production costs, HR stuff, advertising, etc. I bet they can burn through that 75 million.I don't know what exactly they're planning on doing with the 75mill they just got but if the new prototype is as good as thye say and they opened pre-orders after demonstrating it at CES2014 I'd bet they'd get enough money in a month to build a large scale production of Rifts.
We will see. Maybe it'll b north of 1000. Right now their best internal unit is a hacked up Samsung phone. They really want an oled display for its quick switch rate but only Samsung and lg make them. If they have to pay out the ass for lg to share or make their own they will probably ow passed their target price.$300 is about a third of the price I thought they might be. That's good news.
Indeed. While I think 4k displays would be awesome, you have to remember that your PC needs to be able to render 2 displays at that resolution. I don't think they'll be 4k displays.They're targeting $300 so it shouldn't be too bad. Affording a rig that can properly use them with AAA games might be expensive enough.
*Raises hand*They should just release the version they already have as another dev kit.
Who cares about all this 2k/4k stuff, i'll just take the 1080p version they have been demoing for the last year...
4K fyi is not really 4k and is just double the horizontal and verticle pixels of 1080p, just the primary marketing stat has shifted from the vertical in 1920x1080 resolutions to the horizontal in 3840x2160 resolutions. Still hasn't reached actual 4k so it's a really goddamn shitty marketing term used that is probably a left over from recent digital 4k cinema projectors (they actually use a bit higher resolution that is a bit above 4k unlike the consumer devices and panels that have the aforementioned resolutions).Who cares about all this 2k/4k stuff, i'll just take the 1080p version they have been demoing for the last year...
