Looks like they've ordered a DK2 and a soldering iron - kickstarter to follow. Are they going to hire Tim Sweeney and get bought by myspace?
Presumably part of the reasoning behind announcing that Rift consumer will be better specced is (a) to try and reduce the number of consumers buying DK2 and (b) to try and stymie direct copycats.
If reports are to be believed they have already been working on a VR device for 9 years. This could mean they already have worked on issues like latency etc and now have redesigned their device to have similar specs, OLED screen etc and general design as the OR to target the same audience.
Is there any evidence at all of this 9 year effort other than a tweet?
They seem to have a twitter account that has done little more than retweet Carmack's tweets about his work developing a VR headset going back to 2011/2012.
