10 Oculus Rift Demo Reactions from GDC 2013

    Ben Lang in NewsOculus Rift

At GDC 2013, people waited upwards of two hours in line to try the Oculus Rift developer kit. Was it worth the wait? Did it live up to the hype? I interviewed 10 people right after they stepped out of the demo. I was expecting to hear people mention the lower than desirable resolution and perhaps the ghosting, but I came away very surprised to find out how much everyone — many of them non-developers — said they enjoyed the experience. To be clear, I didn’t leave out any interviews or cut any negative comments — this is the aggregate of what people told me. And yes, 10 is a small sample size, but the results certainly bode well for the Oculus Rift.
