LAME !
Not only did Occulus sell out to Facebook, after the internet paid for it's development...
Not only did they RIP OFF a FREE design based on a mobile phone
(See Durovis Dive)
They made it WORSE by adding cables.

Occulus rift is just a mobile phone strapped to your eyes.

you know nothing billpayer snow.

the fact that facebook bought the company is what will give them enough funds to actually manufacture their own parts, as they need them to be, and not buy cellphone displays (and, I'm sure other off-the-shelf parts). It will actually help them make a better product.

The cables are needed, because of lag. A wireless device woulnd't be able to have input and movement lag as low as they are trying to make it be. And it is a very important point, because of motion sickness.

EMPIRE maybe they can get some ridiculously high bandwidth link up and going wirelessly?

OK... well at least have it use a single dinky fiber optic cable to do it.

Hey, as long as the resolution and frame rate is there, I dont care if they pull their displays out of old Tempest arcade machines.

OMG i loved that game! So much money poured into that game at the Oakridge lanes bowling alley. That may ring a bell?

Nah, the cables are needed to upload the footage from the hidden cameras back to Facebook, so they can sell the data to the NSA.
