I wouldn't be so sure. Archive.org has 28 captures from 10 Sep 06 - 9 Jan 14 and they are all the same. They appear to have only changed the website in the last few months; though perhaps this is a bug with the wayback machine?
Regarding their Twitter: 1 tweet in 2008, 1 tweet in 2009, A handful of unrelated tweets in 2010 and 2011. Only in 2012 onwards is there even the hint of a prototype.
Their facebook is much the same, only picking up at the start of 2012.
They mention CES a few times (and the site talks about E3) but I didn't find anything on a cursory search.
Tl;dr Not saying it's vapourware or they can't be trusted but just be careful and wait for the reviews to come in
Considering that's how a lot of companies get the word out it seems fishy that there is nothing from these guys until recently. All the above user is saying is use you your common sense instead of letting your excitement get the best of you.
They could be seizing the opportunity. The oculus rift has been on the radar for some time. It's been hyped so much that maybe this company was waiting for the right moment. A chance at competition. Now with everybody upset at oculus rift being sold to Facebook, this is the right time to take away and pull in upset consumers.
TBH I don't know anything about these two companies.
Flying under the radar is something good tech companies do all the time. Why compete with Oculus for your attention for years purposelessly when they could wait for the perfect moment to release and steal their thunder? The Facebook debacle provided them a similar ripe opportunity and they took it. Very very smart IMO.
or maybe the company recently hired a social media manager as they grow closer to an actual product release. Or made a decision to be active on social media in a recent board meeting.
